Talk about running without a break!! The last few days it's been one thing after another - mostly all good.
The verdict per the test with the prep from hell is that I have a small fat filled umbilical hernia and I'm being referred to a surgeon. I will get two opinions before diving into surgery. I was reading that they can repair some hernias under a local by inserting a mesh into the area where the tear is and letting the body grow around it. I'm hoping for that kind of solution but....
There were a few other issues - one I've since learned is a non-issue. There was some evidence that I might have had a UTI - but they did a test Friday and it came out clear.
I also have a very small mass (just over 1 cm) on my pancreas. Since I have no other signs I could be sick (and pancreas issues make you very sick) the Dr is hopeful it's just a physical anamoly and is sending me for an MRI to make sure. Worse case is that it is of significance but due to the size of it, and the fact I feel fine otherwise, it's been caught early and that's a very good thing.
Then there was Drummer Boy's high school graduation. The letter from the school told us to be there at 5, be seated at 5:45, that the doors would be locked PROMPTLY at 5:55 and the ceremony start at 6. I was a good girl, I did like I was told - and because of that got awesome seats - but at 5:55 the principal gets up to say there are still some people coming in and they were going to wait for them to be seated before starting the ceremony. Why bother to tell us to be there early if you're going to let people in anyway? God only knows!! But I do feel vindicated for because I had those reallyl awesome seats I only got by being there early.
The ceremony was really nice, and we had a mini-graduation party for Drummer Boy and Chris's son - who's in the same class - at my house afterward. In all, a really great night.
Then yesterday was Drummer Boy's 19th birthday. The n-ex had the kids this weekend so Drummer Boy and I had dinner and got him his graduation/birthday present of a laptop. Volleyball Girl came by later with two presents and they watched movies downstairs on his new laptop while I enjoyed the peace upstairs - and David who was on the phone. 
So very busy, but it's been a nice kind of busy. This week both the Dreamer and the Lizard end school and I start summer hours - 4 nine hour days and only 4 hours on Friday. We have a few appointments this week and the paperwork (that would be THE paperwork, the one that makes the divorce final....finally!!!) will be signed Friday. Three and a half years - took long enough!!!!
I hope all of you have had an enjoyable weekend with the same kind of beautiful weather we're getting to have now that the spring decided to be spring and not winter-lite.
Later!

Am plotting a surprise 40th birthday party for hubby tomorrow, with all his college and law school friends, so that's keeping me busy.
(Gee, this cloak and dagger stuff can be exhausting)
Happy Birthday to Drummer Boy, and am happy to hear about divorce becoming final soon, yay!
I'm dyslexic. I scream Ho Dog instead of Oh God in the throes of passion.

Thanks Misty! I feel positive about the health issues but can take all the crossed fingers I can get. 
Drummer Boy is actually the second to fly the nest, #1 Son beat him to it three years ago. Then I have The Dreamer who's 15 and I just pray doesn't have to repeat his freshman year, and The Lizard who's 9. I have a few more years of serious mothering.
