I got a very late start today. I was awake til 4 am so I didn't really get out of bed til 11 am. I read my e-mails, worked out, did the dishes, then made breakfast. All said and done, I didn't eat breakfast til after 1pm....Oh well...every day is different for me. I do like it better when I sleep at night though and get up early. It doesn't always happen for me though.

My mom looked a little better yesterday. We can't go down there today though. My hubby has to work the rest of the week. After my blog I am gonna try and call though. The tests results were not conclusive (complicated issue). The doctors are trying to get her oxygen levels up before they let her go home though. I don't know for sure when that is going to be yet. An occupational therapist was supposed to see her, but as of yesterday, that still had not happened.

I appreciate all the loving concern in the blogs from my friends. You are all a blessing to me. It is nice to remember that we are never alone in facing the challenges of this system of things. And that there are people who really do care about each other in the most wonderful way.

I went over my calories yesterday. Its hard to keep track when you are running around all day. But I didn't do too bad, and I have been working out more every day than I count in my logs. I usually try to count 10 minutes less than I am actually doing. That way I have a small amout of flexibility in the calorie count too. I know I wasn't supposed to look yet (I weigh in on the 1st of every month) but the scale was down over 3 pounds from my weigh in on the first of May. It was good to see it go down again, instead of up. I feel mellow today and just taking things slow. I don't feel bad at all though and that is good!

Sending much love to all the friends. Have a happy day! Love Joyce
