A busy day

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Today is going to be a busy day for me. Too busy for me to go to the local Historical Society meeting that is going to be happening today. I have so many things that I need to do today that I didn't get the chance to do last week. I need to dust, vacuum, wash dishes, wash bedding, clean out the litter box, clean the bathroom, and a few other things that will take me forever to do and no time for anything else.

I lost another pound and I have at least 3 more pounds until I get back to where I was before. I'm hoping to get this all done before the end of the month so I can go into double digits by then too.

My head is starting to get sore. I better take something for it before we go anywhere today. It's not too bad but it's enough to do something about it.

Well, I guess the dishes and the litter box were probably the most important things on your to do list! Have a good rest of the day! Report Inappropriate Comment

Hope you get to feeling better, and 1 lb lost that is so wonderful. Report Inappropriate Comment

Congrats on that pound lost! I hope your head's feeling better now! I had a nasty headache earlier today. It was my sinuses. The weather changes mess my head up something awful. Owie. Take care! Report Inappropriate Comment

Slow day today

Saturday, October 25, 2008

Didn't do much today. We went to Galesburg for a while. Had to get a few things at Target that was needed. Birthday cards, dad's meds, a new harness (in pink this time) for Lady, and Downy. Then we went to the nursing home where my mom was at before she died. Then we went to Subway and had supper. I had a BLT and dad had tuna. We just had that and drinks. No chips. Had to. I had a stomachache after having lunch today. Homemade tenderloin sandwich and a cup of tomato soup. Well, it's the waitress because it only happens when she serves me my meal. The other waitress they have on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday, I don't have that problem. The one that we had today is there Wednesdays and the weekends. I can't eat any kind of salad, chicken (no matter how it's fixed) or anything fried when this gal is there. When her daughter was there working, I couldn't eat salads or chicken. Both are total blondes. They are so dumb that you have to repeat what you want to drink and say everything slow sometimes. Ocassionally they'll screw up an order but not too much. Tomorrow I'm going to fix myself a lunch before going up there so I'm not having that problem again. It took me several hours just to get rid of the stomachache. It was almost suppertime before I got rid of it.

The leaves are changing and looking beautiful. I haven't taken anymore fall pics in a while. I'm hoping to take some more here soon. If the wind isn't as bad as they were reporting on the radio tonight, I can take some tomorrow. They're talking about winds up to 45 mph for tomorrow.

Just as long as it doesn't start SNOWING that 45 mph wind won't be too horrible. Report Inappropriate Comment

My dad's tests

Friday, October 24, 2008

Well, my dad has made it through the tests okay but they think there might be an aneurysm in his heart. The doctor that did the echo test on my dad is going to send it to the doctor in Peoria to get it checked to be sure. If there is one, they're hoping to either treat it with meds or go in and take care it. I'm shooting for the meds. I think that the doctor that wanted this test is thinking the same thing. I hope.

They didn't take as long as I thought. I waited in the waiting room there on the floor where the echo was being done at and the guy who took us up to the hospital went to the cafeteria to eat. The guy who took us up is the minister of a local church and knows what we're going through with all the heart problems since he went through the same thing as we did with his family. I didn't want to leave the waiting room because I wasn't sure if they had to transfer him to Peoria from Galesburg or not. I'm glad that they didn't have to because I would of been a wreck.

I am glad the tests went okay. I also hope the meds are able to take care of the problem. Report Inappropriate Comment

A great picture of Dad. Hope and pray everything works out for the best for him. I had to look up where your from when talking about the Galesburg hospital. My S and family live there by Lake Story or Story Park or whatever It's called. We try to come down once a week to watch the G kids and keep connected. Might see you around the stores on any Mon.

Wish that I didn't gain the 8 pounds

Friday, October 24, 2008

Gained 8 pounds no thanks for my period and eating the fried food the last few nights. Usually I don't even gain wait after eating fried foods. So it must be because I'm getting close in starting my period soon. I was feeling miserable with all the usual stuff the past couple of days. Feeling like I'm going to throw up, bloat, aches, tired, and all that stuff. Last night I was close enough in going to bed early. But I didn't. But I did have a good night sleep though.

Speaking of being sleepy. I'm sleepy now even though I've been up for 3 hours and I wish that my nap lasted longer than it did.

Well, today is when my dad has his echo done on his heart. I'm hoping that they don't transfer him from Galesburg to Peoria today. I don't think that I can handle it right now. 12 years ago today was when he had 1 of 2 open heart surgeries. The first one was to do a bypass and repair the wall between the two main chambers of the heart. The 2nd one was to go back and repair that wall again. The wall had a hole in it. The first time they did that wall was like sewing JellO and the 2nd time was trying to sew wet toilet paper together. That's how bad he was. The one they did the bypass on 12 years ago today is 95% blocked but building it's own bypass but the one that they're worried about and going to look at is 50 to 60% blocked. So cross your fingers that they can take care of with meds.

I hope all goes well for your Dad! I used to bloat up near my periods when I was younger. Now I jut don't have them anymore. It's not real weight. Don't let it get you down! Report Inappropriate Comment

I hope all goes well for your dad today. I'm right there with you on the gain due to PMS. I've had a bad week and ate what I shouldn't have, didn't exercise when I should have. Bah. Stress doesn't help with that any ... I will be hoping things settle down for you soon. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm tired and it's not time for bed yet.

Thursday, October 23, 2008

I'm kind of thinking of going to bed early as tired as I am but I need to do a few things before going to bed anyway. With the weather being gloomy and rainy, I will get tired. I only had 3 walks with Lady today. Two this morning and one after we came home from shopping.

I had to load up the truck with what we got at Wal-Mart today no thanks to the rain. But by the time that we got home, the rain stopped. I'm hoping that we don't get any rain tomorrow since dad has his echo tomorrow.

I go to bed when my son does(normally at 8pm) and I am never tired, so I just watch tv. And lately, I have just been exhausted. I don't know what it is lately! Be proud of yourself for getting in 3 walks! That's GREAT! Report Inappropriate Comment
