cloudy w/update

Well, we’re back to clouds….when it’s nice I ‘ve been going out for about 10 min. even if it’s cold and sitting with my face in the sun—been reading some lately about how we don’t get enough of our vit. D dose.  Supposed to have rain tomorrow; we still need it very badly because of the drought which remains severe.  Now, to make matters worse, a few wildfires have broken out in the general area.  Not very close to me but they have threatened some homes.  It just occurred to me that I’ve known four different families who have lost homes to fire–a cousin, 2 neighbors (a mother and a daughter both homes burned at different times), and a friend,  all in another state.  One of the neighbors was 2 yrs. older than me and someone I idolized growing up; she was killed in a house fire just before Christmas one year.  Somehow, this seems like an awful lot of people to know who have lost homes to fire.  Sad.

I ate my regular oatmeal w/skim this am and decaf tea, decided enough is enough of this bug, also had a container of f.f. vanilla yogurt about 10:30am—still not much appetite, though

Went to gym: stretch and exercise mat, 2.7 mi. on tm/sl. incline—slower pace–felt OK, not weak or dizzy but didn’t want to push.

Will update later……..about 2:30pm had 2 rye crackers w/a slice of Swiss cheese…………..5:00pm took the plunge and ordered a meal at Boston Market w/ my daughter …….had  small amounts of turkey, mashed pots. and gravy,  mixed veg—–this is the first real balanced type meal I’ve had since last Friday and I gotta tell you, my stomach is not any too happy; making very ominous and rebellious noises; knew I should have skipped the gravy.  We’ll see………….

Later, chickadees!

    I used to work in a burn unit many years ago and that is one of my biggest fears. To have my family in a fire. I am sorry that you have had to face those fears.
    Hope you are feeling better soon.

    Ah. What a great idea! (face-up to the sun!) Are you here on the east coast? Pouring here now, after snow & ice during the night. A good day to stay inside & warm & dry. Awful about the fires among family and friends. Take good care of you, Ms. SoClose, we love you lots.

    I bet your feet aren’t as bad as you think…and a great pair of shoes can make it all better- they don’t have to be open toe to be awesome!
