Light at the end of the tunnel?

When I first got awake this am, I felt just about normal!!!  Amazing, since yesterday was my worst day; maybe this thing was having its last shot at me.  I’m coughing up my lungs and my nose is still dripping like mad, but somehow I feel a bit better; I do think I picked up a 2nd cold bug that started yesterday though.  Made it out to the grocery store this am.  Down to the deadline, have tickets for a Christmas show in Williamsburg on Sat……would have hated to miss that.

The track meet yesterday was changed to today due to cold weather; we did have a low temp and very low wind chill.  Fine with me!!! But it makes me wonder what kids in (say) Mn. do for winter track??

I suppose it’s time to get back on track with food.  When I’m sick the healthy eating (AND the scale) goes out the window and anything that sounds good is fair game.  Usually not much sounds good though—not fair!!!  Wonder if I’ve gained those 5 back; wouldn’t surprise me w/ the lack of exercise.  Today I’ve had a fried egg, 1 pc. whole wheat bread, 4 almond butter cookies, hot chocolate (dark!), and decaf tea.  Will try to get back to edit later for rest of food.   Here’s rest of food and day.  Main meal: pot roast, carrots, cauliflower, sweet potato……dinner @ Wendy’s: chili, large—I would have got a small but my dau. got the large for me and I ended up eating all of it.

Track meet went well.  We left as soon as A. ran the 1600; I had her tell her coach I was sick and we needed to go, not hardly untrue.  She wasn’t first by a long shot but someone from her team was.  YAY US!!!

I found some old liquid tylenol with codeine (for coughs) in the med box and I’m sleeping SOOOO good at night with it; don’t take it during the day in case I have to drive.  Without a doubt, if I was going to be a druggie, I think this would be my drug of choice.  Sleep, wonderful sleep!!!!

See ya, chickadees!

    So glad to hear you are feeling better. Your sleeping sounds restful. Please take a little more rest. You do so much on your normal days.

    Don’t worry too much even if you have gained a few pounds. mostly you wouldn’t have because your body would have needed extra fuel to heal.

    I am not yet on the Dick Francis book. Will let you know soon.

    I am so honored to have your love and you on my side.

    love,

    iniya
