Had to buy a new furnace today. $2000 !!! That kind of takes the glow off a fresh tax return.  Oh well, ya need a furnace in MI.  Hopefully, the new one won't be a piece of crap like the old one. 

  : Found my protein drink today.  The Profect 2.9oz bullets.  25g protein, 0 carbs , 100 cal.  They are fruit flavored.  Fuzzy peach nectar, Blue rasberry swirl, Fresh citrus berry, Ruby melon twist, Cool melon splash, Passion fruit, Grapefruit mango, & Orange pineapple. I'm not a big milk drinker, so all the powders that mix with milk no my favorite.  These are yummy.  I also tried a new bar today.  It's Atkins Endulge Peanut Caramel Cluster Bar and looks and tastes just like a Payday candy bar.  4g protein, 9g carbs, 110 cal. Still waiting ..... working on the house today.  Organizing and cleaning.  Had physical therapy this morning in the pool.  Feeling pretty good.  Just had 3 protein bars, 1 bullet, and water today.  Trying to get my 10% preop body weight off.  Not hungry at all.   It's still early.                 
  

  Busy weekend at work. Exhausted tonight. Watching the Oscars.  I didn't see any of these movies.  What have I been doing ?  Oh ya, I only watch movies made by Disney. LOL.  Feel good today.  Looking forward to next week. It's funny how talking to ppl on this site calms you nerves and make you feel normal.  Every one of us are in the same boat. Well, maybe it's a cruise ship with a buffet.  I never thought I could make friends I've never met.  I had some nice chats tonight.  I like being here. It's comfortable.  No insecurities.  I think I've had a breakthrough.  Life is only getting easier.  Confidence going up, pain going down, blood pressure going down, energy going up, making friends.  What else do I need to be happy.  I already have the perfect family.  I just need to work on me.  Gonna go get cozy.  Be back tomorrow.  Night. 

 So I'm in the middle of my long weekend.  It's 4:30am.  I can't seem to sleep even though I have to be at work at 8am.  I hope this week will bring final approval and maybe a date not to far in the future.  Even though, I have so much to do before surgery.  I have to finish painting my daughters room and put up a wall border.  I want to spring clean the house. I want to clean out the garage.  I feel like I'm nesting, but I'm not pregnant. LOL. I just want everything to be ready.  That's going to be my focus for this week.  So I don't go crazy.  And I want to spend every minute I can with my kids.  I love them soooo much.  They drive me crazy, but they are really good kids.  Maybe they will have one more snow day.  HAHA.  Gotta sleep.  Be back later.
