getting there
A couple more days and I think I’ll be back to feeling normal….YAY!!!! Good thing, as I am OVER this being sick; it has gone on way to long. I do need to be good and make my routine cardiology and pulmonary dr. appts. as I am getting notices from both that I’m way overdue for checks. I avoid them and then feel stressed about avoiding them. Avoiding them can’t change anything, good or bad so why am I such a chicken about it? I don’t know, I just am. If some aspect of my health is going further south, I really do need to get a handle on it and NOT going to the dr. isn’t helping. I HAVE to be here to get this kid raised: need to keep telling myself that!!!!
Yesterday I volunteered at the finish line for a 5K race. We had plenty of help for once and everything went smoothly. Then killed a few hrs. at a friends house and then went on to an Irish Christmas show in Colonial Williamsburg. There was one woman and three men; who all made their own instruments (except the piano) and they were quite good. The audience was involved in an Irish version of The Twelve Days of Christmas; it was very funny! It was only an hour long which was not expected. Home by about 9:30; planning on staying in today and resting (HA!!! Laundry and cooking await.). Ladies aerobics have a Christmas party tomorrow and I can’t miss that. Haven’t gotten to cards or the few packages I mail yet; missing out on last week has really done me in on Christmas sched.
Food yesterday….bfsk: oatmeal w/ skim, V8, blueberries, decaf tea…………..lunch: Greek salad (shared), 2 pieces pizza………snack: almonds……….dinner: 2 pieces cornbread, roast beef, carrots, green beans, mashed pots.–Cracker Barrel
Added–food today….bfsk: banana, peach yogurt, walnuts, hot chocolate……………late lunch: pot roast, sweet potato, carrots, cauliflower………snack: another hot chocolate…….it’s 7:30pm, I need to eat a bit more–on one hand I don’t have much appetite or taste yet, on the other I’m indulging in the “eat what you want, you’re sick” school of thought, as evidenced by the 2 hot chocolates which total 300 wasted calories!!!! Onward to find something semi-healthy at least. OK–2slices deli turkey, 1/2 multigrain Wasa, string cheese
Have yourselves a good Sunday, chickadees! Goodnight.

Very good to hear you are feeling better. Please take care of yourself. Though I share a very similar attitude towards doctors. I just can’t make myself go and go only when things are very bad and then feel guilty and embarassed. Very bad of me.
lots of love,

Five pounds by Christmas is a good goal. I know you can do it.
I’m sorry to hear you haven’t been feeling well, but happy to read that it seems like that’s all over (I haven’t been on in about a week). This time of year always does people in, but just think… since you’ve already gotten sick once this winter, maybe that’ll be the last of it! (Knock on wood).
