The Last Straw

I got the thyroid test.  The doctor didn’t talk much about it. Said that she didn’t feel any nodules. I am not sure which test I got. I asked the phlebotomist lady, but she just said something about the T3 and T4 and something else. And results should be in on Wednesday. I am guessing [...]

I have been back home for a couple of days now. I have spent most of my time at the hospital, though. Dad has had his good moments and his very sleepy moments. Recovery is going to be a slow go.
On the way up to DC, I was able to enjoy McDonald’s and still feel [...]

I am in D.C. right now, but having a horrible week.
I checked my voicemail late sunday night and had a message from my sister. My dad has had a severe stroke. He is not able to walk, talk, eat, etc. From the MRI’s, there is significant damage. He is 78 years old. He has a [...]

Ugh. This is how this morning went: got ready to go to the track, drove up there, and The Wall was there. “The Wall” is these two ladies who walk side by side and basically expect you to pass them totally off the track and in the grass. I am tired of dealing with them. [...]

So here is the formula: 65 degrees + cool breeze - frumpmomma shorts + lucky shorts - better runners at the track + different music = one good day at the track.
Let me just tell you more about yesterday’s track experience first, just to prove how different things can be in just a 24 hour [...]

Trying to make it three days, yes three days folks, without screwing up. Yeah me. 
The scale won’t even give me a tenth of a pound though. So I am starting to have violent thoughts. I should warn my husband to stay clear of me if he sees me headed for the bathroom with [...]

When camping or picnicking, you toast a marshmallow over the fire and then you put a piece of a hersheys chocolate candy bar on a graham cracker and then put your toasted marshmallow on, top it with [...]

The exchange student is on her way back to the homeland. We still have some issues to sort of work through. She will be returning in August to attend a private school here. This year has not been good for us. Just plain awkward. We have never felt like she really liked us that much, [...]

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I am really sorry for being such a whiney negative obnoxious pathetic pessimistic loser this week! 
Thanks for not kicking my sorry *ss to the curb!
BIGPROF! Thank you! I am having that nice day that you were wishing for me. I had a nice little walk with a few spurts of running. The sun [...]

I will post a warning before proceeding with this post. There will be no inspiration to be found here. It is not gonna be pretty, people. Not pretty at all. Eryn, you probably don’t want to read this!
Things are just not good. First I started struggling (during pms) with my couch to 5 k. Could [...]
