The Party's Over!

Jul 05, 2009

Today is officially my last day of vacation, and tomorrow I will be back to reality.  It's going to be a wild day, since my last day of work was June 18th.  I haven't signed into my work email the entire time I've been off, so I should have about 200 emails to sort through.  But vacation was so wonderful, more than 2 weeks of freedom!  We covered a lot of ground, saw a lot of family and friends, and just enjoyed having together time outside of our usual routines.  Oh!  We also stopped by Neely's BBQ in Memphis (of "Downhome with the Neely's on Food Network fame) for lunch on our way through.  That was cool!  I had a pulled pork bbq sandwich, without the bun.  Fabulous!

Also, tomorrow is my date for my first fill.  I'm a little nervous about it... not the actual procedure itself (fluoro) but what might result a couple days later.  Will I have swelling like I did a couple days after surgery?  I pray not, because that was pure misery and resulted in dehydration.  I can't miss any more time from work, especially after just returning from vacation.   I will be saying a lot of prayers about it.

As of my weigh-in this morning I have gained about one pound in the past 2+ weeks.  I am quite happy about that, I was afraid it would be a little more.  I've been good for the most part, but I have eaten a good bit of sugar and other stuff I know I should have stayed around from, but just got caught up in the flurry of things.  So now I have to recover, once again, from the sugar situation.  But it's all good, and my head is in the right place for it.

So... in both instances... the end of my vacation and the end of my time with an empty band, the party's over.  Tomorrow it's down to business!
