About the last weekend in April I found myself passed out on the bathroom floor. I can't remember how it happened but it was very scary. I suffer from migraines but this was a new thing. So I got a doctor's appointment to see if I was okay. I have the best doctor ever. She is pretty awesome. She ran some blood tests on me and checked for diabetes. And even had me get an MRI. Luckily I work for a Radiology company and it was fun to finally see the patient's side of it. Since they knew I worked up in accounting, I got the royal treatment and was in and out in less than an hour. I hate MRI's. I'm a tiny bit claustrophobic...but the tech was super nice and let me listen to Alternative rock the whole time. And I kept my eyes shut and my mind focused on the music. But after all the tests and MRI I'm ecstatic to report: I AM FINE! All my tests came back normal. It was just a weird fluke....and I hope it never happens again.
The month of May is a busy birthday month in my family. Both my sister-in-laws, my brother and two of nephews all have birthdays. So I was busy getting cards and trying to remember to wish everyone a happy birthday. Here are some photos of my brother's birthday:

Facetiming with the little ones. |
It was a small party, he had class that evening so we just got pizza and a cheese cake. Then the next Saturday we went and saw Avengers.
My poor parents haven't had a good few months without car troubles. So my dad finally called in quits for the big goldie and went and traded it in for a nice plum colored Lexus:
He calls it his retirement car. But I noticed how similar it was to my little Toyota Corrolla. Who knew Lexus was made by Toyota....crazy. It is still a lot fancier than my car though.
At work we hired a new accountant so to make room for her and not have her sharing the same desk as me. I finally got my own cubicle. It was pretty exciting. I did have to spend one Friday without a desk while they installed it but it is nice to finally have my own private space at work.
Mother's Day was just another nice quiet Sunday. Mom was actually home this year so that was fun. Later that night I had a clumsy moment. I tripped on my heals and fell onto the floor. I was carrying a glass bowl that hit the floor first and shattered. My knee landed in the shards. At first it didn't seem too bad until I looked at it a few days later and saw the huge scab....fun times...I need to stop falling.
Just this last week we actually had an earthquake in Vegas. It happened during work so everyone got really nervous. It shook my building and caused some slight damage to the freeway downtown. But considering all the earthquakes happening in the rest of the world. I think we were very fortunate. This showed up on facebook a little while later:
The weather is getting hotter, and before it got too uncomfortable, mom and dad did some landscaping. They're trying to break up the rocks....we have a lot of rocks.
It think it looks a lot better. Dad also invested in heat screens for their window to cut down on their AC bills. Ahhhh...summer time in Vegas here we come....ready or not.
