Fingers crossed that the fibro treatment will have some good, long-term results!
I went out Monday night with Melissa, her BF and one of their friends visiting from Turkey. I went really off the wagon for this one (outmeal cookie with choc chips!!   ), but it was worth it because the dinner was great and the company even better. 
The Turkish friend mentioned she'd be taking the train to DC the next day, so she hopped a ride with me instead. And what a ride it was! Her Istambul travel agent had booked her a hovel in Cracktown, VA, and I couldn't let her stay there and sleep AND get a good sleep at night myself. As Mel and I were laughing about it at the time, it looked straight out of CSI:DC, like some pusher was going to kick down the door yelling for his money, b**ch. Yeah, time to go.
So we booked it thru DC at rush hour, which is kinda like one of those movie chases where the lead car being chased hits apple carts, food vendors, and people jump out of the way with their ties flying and suitcases flying open throwing papers in the air. JUST like that. We saw the Washingotn Monument, Jefferson Memorial, Treasury building (where the money is printed), various strip clubs, the World Bank (where Turkish visitor person had a meeting the next day), Georgetown and the National Cathedral. Nelly's Tour of DC, abbreviated.
I think my BF was a little surprised that I called him and wanted him to Mapquest the directions from CSI:DC no-tell motel Rosslyn to some random house in Bethesda, but he was accomodating. It's hard living with me, and he's learned to adapt quickly.
We finaly found what we were looking for, the house of a friend of the family, who took her in and by the way wanted to adopt me, no joke. He declared me an angel and him my surrogate family in Bethesda (should I ever need one), and gave me such a handshake that I might never forget! I took off for home from there and made it, many hours later than expected.
Karma is intact: Today, I was short $4.55 paying for my medications, and the pharmacist at CVS paid it out of her petty cash. I could have kissed her.
