Where is Vickie?
I’ve been asked by bloggers, “If you’re 2 on a Rant, why aren’t both of you posting?”
My partner in blogging, Vickie Kayuk has been in school learning to be a sonographer for the past 2 years.
In case you’re wondering what that means, she’s doing this most of the day:
On all different parts of the body.
If you look at the top of this blog, you’ll see 2 women. I’m the one in pink. Vickie is the cute one with better hair.
Here are 2 pictures we asked someone to take for us today just before we went off to lunch together:
We usually like to sit at a corner table at Golden Corrall and talk for 5 hours. There wasn’t time today so we went to a country restaurant 3 miles away. The company was stellar. Lunch was okay. Vickie gave me her usual spiel about how liver accumulates all the toxins in the body. I ate my slab of beef liver anyway, since I only enjoy this delicacy twice a year.
After lunch, we went for a walk at a local park. Here is a picture of Vickie posing among the graffiti inside their small amphitheater:
She couldn’t believe it when I said I could stand on my head, so we went into the woods for a Zen moment:
It looks better when I’m wearing my yoga pants.
Standing on one’s head is nothing compared to what Vickie can do. I stole this from Vickie’s Facebook pictures. If she sends me a better one, I’ll post it.
She used to do this:
I don’t know when I’ll see her again. She has her board exams in July and August, then she’ll start looking for a job rubbing gel on people and getting ultrasound pictures.
We talked a little, walked a little, but it wasn’t enough time!
Then, we had to say goodbye.
Vickie, you’ve only been gone 3 hours but I miss you already!
Solid friendship, beyond space and time, is a wonderful thing to celebrate. ❤

I’m not all that good with Skype. A good friend is someone you reconnect with immediately even if you haven’t seen her in 20 years. 🙂

OMG! I thought you were joking when you said you were going to post all those photos! Oh well, I enjoyed reading the post and I’m sorry it took so long to get to it, but that’s a statement of my life right now.
Daytime: Student sonographer at large.
Evenings and weekends: going blind studying for the board exams I want to take by the end of the summer.
ARGH!! Right now it’s all never ending and I sit here commenting on your lovely(?) post while my stomach growls its annoyance at me for the supper it thought it was going to get and I forgot to feed it. The thought of which makes me wonder if eating at this time of the night (10:30)is such a good idea.
I natter away at all this to work my way around to saying…..”I miss you, too.”

At the end of your mental Marathon and subsequent passing of the boards, we need a “crazy writer’s power dunch.” 🙂
Be prepared to tell stories and eat lots of chocolate pie.
