Mystery Diagnosis and other stuff...

Today I visited one of my very favorite places; the doctor's office. (Note the sarcasm) I have had this weird red circular thing on my leg for what seems like forever and as I was getting a beatdown massage last week (how snobby am I?) my therapist asked what the heck this "spot" was. He encouraged me to get it checked out since I have had it for over three months. This lit a fire under me and so I called yesterday to book an appointment. To my surprise, they were able to get me in today. Here is a picture of my weirdness in case anyone cares...
So guess what it is? Anyone....? Yeah, my doctor doesn't know either which is a little concerning. She says the fact that I am not ill and I have had it for 3+ months tells her it's nothing serious, thank goodness. She just kept asking if I or anyone I know have visited any third world countries lately. Hmmmm... nope, don't think so! She snapped a couple of pics and sent me on my way, assuring me that she would have a dermatologist look the photos over. Hopefully I'll know in a few days what this nastiness is.
Okay...I am so sick of writing about ailments.
This little dude was chillin' on my front porch looking all sorts of cuddly. I know birds freak a lot of people out, but I thought he was precious. And check out his ultra hip ankle bracelette! 
Sammy kept him company.
Cameron was sad to see "Margalo" go home but once he understood that "Margalo" was missing her mom and dad, he was able to say goodbye sans tears. I took the beautiful Margalo to the vet and they were able to identify her owner from her tag.

Here's something interesting...
This little dude was chillin' on my front porch looking all sorts of cuddly. I know birds freak a lot of people out, but I thought he was precious. And check out his ultra hip ankle bracelette! At first, I could not figure out what kind of bird this was because he appeared to be so round and was obviously a pet. His coloring was that of a pigeon but it didn't register to me that people would actually have pigeons as pets.
After hanging out with him on my porch for a good half hour, I decided he was definitely hurt and needed me to rescue him like I do with any stray creature that happens to come my way
(and yes, this happens a lot...ask my husband.)
I was able to coax him into a dog kennel where he hung out for an hour while I put the babies to bed.
Sammy kept him company.

My husband thinks I am absolutely ridiculous and maybe I am but I couldn't let the poor guy/girl freeze on my porch! I felt good about my actions and I am sure Margalo appreciated it!
