It
wasn’t the phone call I was expecting. It came as I was in the car running to
Safeway because I forgot something earlier. I was in a hurry so I almost didn’t
answer it.
It was
the doctor who did my colonoscopy with the news that the biopsy of the polyp
came back as “premalignant.” It was not cancer yet but it had the potential,
with time, to become a nice case of colon cancer. Yikes!
So now
what? She said not to worry about it and that she wants to see me again in five
years. Simple. But, it still creeped me out.

| Fruit and Cheese Pizza |
In other
news, I am ready for Michael’s mom and her sister who arrive this afternoon.
The Fruit and Cheese Pizza (her birthday cake) is finished, the chicken liver
appetizer is ready and I will also serve Truffle Cheese with Quince and a fine
Brie. We are taking them to dinner to our favorite dive down the coast for
artichoke soup, freshly baked sour dough French bread and oysters. (With my diet, I have a fresh artichoke and the grilled calamari appetizer.) Oh, and
cocktails, of course. Since I am a non-drinker, I will be driving home along
the ocean.
While
the housekeepers are doing their magic, I will be cutting the grass
then jumping into the shower before heading to the airport. I am so excited to
greet them both with leis and a crown for Mary. Hopefully, I will be able to
rally a group of people to sing Happy Birthday with me! We’ll see.
