My Week pt.2: Starbucks, Doctors, & Ginger 9.20.15



Hello hello hellloooo, I... am your beloved Count Olaf...

Just kidding.

He scares me a bit...

It's just me. Amber, the actual author of this blog, I promise! I'm here to present a late night post of this past week. Hope you enjoy!


On Thursday, Mom and I went out for our weekly day out together. I had a few things I was in desperate need of.

Our first stop, Mom needed rocks for the pond.

We hit up a local place that is pretty much rocks-galore and Mom got probably six different large rocks to put around the pond. It's so exciting watching it all get done. She seems super excited about it too!




Since Burlington Coat Factory didn't open for about another half-hour we went to Starbucks.
Let me just state the fact that where we live, even though it's not, our town is considered 'country'. Therefore we are country people. At heart we certainly are, we just don't like on 5acres with a farm. So us in Starbucks is a bit of a train-wreck trying to get the lingo and everything down, it's quite funny.
The guy who served us was so incredibly nice, he even made mine specially. If there was a way I could get his boss to give him a raise, I'd try!
I ordered a Grade, which really should have just been a small, Strawberries & Creme Frappe but with coconut milk, it was soooo good! I always try to get something different when we do go.
Mom got their Apple Spice drink which smelled like apple crisp.

After sucking down our drinks Burlington opened and we were able to look for what we needed.

I was on the hunt for shoes for my brothers wedding. The dress code seems to have gone from semi-casual to all the guys wearing suits. So apparently converses won't do... -.-
So instead I got combat boots! [side note: I'll add pictures tomorrow, promise!] Along with a much needed 'winter' jacket that's faux brown leather, so hopefully it'll keep me warm. I freeze just from opening a freezer, so.
Plus I got a cute long sleeved night shirt for cheap. Another needed item is long-sleeved clothing.


On Friday...





It was a trip to the hospital for an Endoscopy for my stomach issues. My doctor seems to want to get this kicked in the butt.
I've had one done before by a very not-so-great specialist who would not listen to any of the problems once so ever, but thankfully this doctor was sooo nice! He listened and seemed to have checked over what the previous doctor had done, from what files were found. Sketchy, right?
So, as of now, nothing major was found, no ulcer or anything like that which is great, but also a little frustrating. He's gonna test for celiac, and depending on how the results come out I'll probably get the gallbladder checked next.



Lastly, today. It was nice outside and I had a bit of time to myself so I went out and snapped a couple pictures. This isn't all of them, but these are two of my favorites.







oooh-aahhh, so artsy.



While working on editing the photos I made lunch. Since the Endoscopy my stomach has been kind of touchy when it comes to food. It's probably a mind thing, but whatever. I've been really craving dairy lately, and I've been having ice cream on the mind for the past week and a half so I decided to cave but I made myself a salad first to get in something healthy. I used:
Mixed organic greens, organic kidney beans, organic ketchup, and a bit of lemon pepper. It's weird, I know. But it was surprisingly good. It was like non-spicey chili.




Lastly, hung out with this cutie. She plowed down a spot of grass to the dirt, silly girl. She really enjoyed it though. I've been wanting to get her outside. I don't like keeping her in so much.
