quickies

  • The scale finally moved, I’ve lost 13 pounds since the second week of January. That doesn’t suck.  I feel better. I have a little more energy. I’m also exercising at least every other morning.  This is a foreign concept to me.
  • As part of this ongoing health trend, I’ve mostly stopped taking the mild sleeping pills that I was taking. They make the battle between groggy and exercise in the morning intolerable, so exercise has won, and all I take at night is a couple of advil.
  • I’m nearly ready to quit the diet coke again too.   This weekend I’ll try and go without and see how I feel.  I have a little bit of a sinus thing going on, so I’m already on pain killers, so they should kill the withdrawal headache too. Hopefully it won’t be awful, and the cold goes away at the same time.
  • I’m getting my taxes done Saturday. Wish me luck.
  • next week at work will be stressful. I have a meeting with our CFO to explain away some inventory issues, a presentation to some of our vendors to teach them about our procedures, and 2 days of training. I also have a doctor appointment and a chiropractor appt  tuesday morning, so I have 4.5 days to do my regular job + all of that extra meeting stuff.  I’ll do the meeting prep over the weekend so at least I can get ahead of that.  The rest is just a matter of good time management.
  • Tuesday is my last 3 month oncology check up. I graduate to every 6 months after this. YAY!  50% less stirrups a year is a good thing.  I’m 2 years post op, and after 5 years I’ll be considered Cancer Free. Time’s flying.
  • I got a Nook book reader for Christmas from Minime. I finally got it last week and I love it. I’m reading again.  My first book is Mists of Avalon which I’ve been reading for about 15 min a day, usually while Roomie is cooking dinner.  I need to read more, I’ve forgotten how much I used to love it.

That’s it for now. TGIF tomorrow. My boss is cooking breakfast for everyone. Hopefully we’ll get out a little early too. Superbowl weekend is a big deal at the office.  I couldn’t care less about football, but the celebrations are fun.

Namaste
