My biopsies from my colonoscopy came back. I had 3 polyps removed. They were all very small (<0.3 cm), but two of them were of the kind that frequently become cancerous. All 3 were benign. I will be going back in for another colonoscopy in 3 years. Seriously, if you're around 50 and you haven't had a colonoscopy yet, what ARE you waiting for? The bowel cleanse is actually easier than a stomach bug.
Washing Machine
The washing machine broke 3 weeks back. Husband was certain he could fix it. He ordered the part he thought was needed and replaced everything. Proudly put everything back in the machine, turned it on and - the machine came to a grinding halt, water spewed everywhere, and we had smoke. We unplugged the machine and hit up the laundromat again. *sigh* Time to start researching washing machines.
Progress in the kitchen
Our pantry is this small little cupboard, located just behind the kitchen door. It's always been a pain, it's in a tough location, and because it's so deep, stuff tends to get lost in there.

Husband recently built some gorgeous built in rotating racks for the canned goods. He raised the shelf in the back, so that stuff would roll down hill, and then he made the dividers out of extra wood that we had laying around the house that was leftover from other projects. I can drop a can on the top, and it rolls to the back, drops down, and comes up to the front. It's fantastic for making certain that I use the oldest canned goods first!

I am going to need at least one more set for the kitchen island before all is said and done.
Rain, Rain, Rain
We've had a lot of rain in the Mid-Atlantic recently. (7" in 2 days) Not nearly as much as Kentucky, though. Kentucky has been hit hard. Honestly, when it rains hard in the Baltimore area, the rain all ends up in the Inner Harbor and the Bay pretty fast. We've had some wicked flash flooding over the past few days, but no lives have been lost. Take a look at these pictures that were posted online by ABC 2 news yesterday:

On having 5 people with jobs and only 2 cars:
We've been making this work. Husband rides a van pool to work. Oldest son carpools with me, and daughter has been able to take the 2nd car to get back and forth to her work. Middle Son is a resident at the camp where he works - I pick him up on Monday night, and husband takes him back on Weds. morning. Today has been a balancing act.
Daughter, oldest son, and I all had to be at work at 8. Daughter works 30 minutes north of where we live, I work 30 minutes south. Middle son works an hour and a half northeast of where daughter works.
So, today, I drove oldest son and myself to work.
Husband drove daughter to her job, middle son to his job, and then hotfooted it 2 hours south to his job.
I get off work at noon, pick up middle son, and then head out to pick up daughter.
I really can't complain. We've had 5 drivers, with 5 jobs sharing 2 cars since the beginning of June, and this is the first day we've had an issue. Granted, there are times when one of us is stranded at home for a period of time, but those times have been few and far between!
Fuzz Therapy
Have you ever noticed how much a fuzzy little animal can make the worst days seem just a little bit better? Princess Luna has been putting in some overtime with me recently. My black shirts may now be gray, but hey, I'm a very content person!
