Ups and Downs
May 06, 2009
I'm actually home sick today, so I decided to download a new avatar picture, along with others, and write here. I woke up incredibly dizzy and nauseous. I hate to call in sick so close to the end of school, but there was no way that I could drive. I took a nap this morning, finally ate some yogurt and granola, drank a copy of flavored coffee, took some Tylenol, and I'm beginning to feel a bit better.Let's see: I badly need a fill, but I'm waiting until we get back from vacation. One of the stops on our cruise was to be Cozumel, Mexico, which we love, but that's a no-go because of swine flu. We had planned on taking the kids to visit the Mayan ruins, which we did 10 years ago, but it's not happening now! Apparently, we're to spend two more hours in the Cayman Islands, still going to Jamaica, and that'll be fine.
I've not lost or gained any weight in a while; still weigh about 180#. Exercise has not been a problem, but finding the time to do so has been. I'm in a water aerobics class that I like, and it meets 4X a week. The last week for the class is next week. Normally, I'm walking a lot more now, but we've had a lot of rainy, thunderous days.
I'll begin working harder this summer. I may teach summer school, 8-12 for the month of June, because the extra money will come in handy with Lindsay starting school. I've not made good food choices lately -- too many choices that my lazy self has given in to. It's so easy to revert to bad habits when I'm either tired or stressed. I keep telling myself that the choice is mine, but sometimes I don't think through the "choices" enough.
Lindsay will be going to UCO, Edmond, OK, in the fall. It's nice that a decision has been reached and that she'll be closer to us. She has received both merit and music scholarships and we will not be out-of-pocket for much of her schooling. We go up next Friday, 15th for registration. She graduates on May 21st. Poor Catie will turn 9 on May 20, but there will not be much of a party until we leave on the cruise -- just too much going on.
We have another rescue dog. I never thought that I would have a small dog in a million years, but my friend, Mary, found a Chihuahua and couldn't keep her. Our original intention had been to give the dog to one of Danny's employees, but Catie couldn't bear to part with her once I brought her home. Her name is Lucy, she's about 3, and we call her everything from Lulu to Lupita to Chalupa. She's friendly, smart, and we get a kick out of her. She sleeps with Catie, and Catie is primarily responsible for her.
Life goes on and I continue to be happy with my choice of the Lap-Band. I'm not on the OH site much these days because I have so little time, but I check it at least once a day and still get inspiration from it.
