Day Forty

I fell asleep last night before I completed my abs.  I'd actually only done two of the nine sets.  So, when I woke in the night, I made myself finish.

 But then I stayed awake for a while, and was so sleepy in the morning that I did not make it to the gym.  I determined to just not eat much to make up for not having burned any calories. 

 That went okay, except that I did eat my eggs, my lunch, my small nut and seed snacks.  I tried to only have one such snack, but I was starving all day.  I did have my apple, and a blueberry tea.  I also had an avocado.  I had a modest dinner of a small amount of homemade meatloaf, a small baked potato, and broccoli.

 I just don't know.

 I did get one tender mercy today.  That family reunion that I've been worried about not getting dessert at, in a most silly manner?  That has been postponed a week, and it will now fall after this project is completed.  No more worrying about that.

 Sixty more.

Day Sixty

I told my supervisor last night that the doctor had said I should not work today.  This morning, I worked hard to talk to my "buddy" on the team to get him to make a few contacts to let people I had told I would be in today that I would not be in today. I got my daughter to summer school, hurriedly showered, and went to the nine-thirty appointment I hoped I had. I found out the nineteen dollars was for a flu test I had had on Valentine's Day, the day my new husband had been diagnosed with Influenza A.  We had all had shots, but my daughter, who had worked in a day care center at the time, had come down with it during a weekend at her dad's.  To make her life easier, and to protect the rest of us, including myself who is not supposed to ever cough hard, I had allowed her to just stay at his place until she recovered.  She was old enough to take care of herself for the most part, and he had showed enough concern to take her to the doctor in the first place. But h...

Day Sixty-Three

I went to bed early last night and luxuriated in the long, steam-filled hours.  I do NOT want to cough like I did last night ever again.  The downside was that I slept through my son and daughter each asking for rides home from work.  My son found another way, and my daughter called me and woke me up.  Even though my husband had to get up at five for a twelve-hour shift, he was still up, so he went to get her. I hoped he would get a good night's sleep after that, but he couldn't.  Other than getting up in the middle of the night to help him with some cough medicine and a boring TV show to help him drift off, and then getting up with him again at five to cook him some eggs and make him something to take with him for lunch (because he couldn't have had more than two hours of sleep at that point), I stayed in bed for a twelve-hour span.  I woke in the morning and saw that I had another hour, but that hour actually felt like it was longer.  Highly unusua...

Day Forty-Six

I woke up around 3:40 from a bad dream, and realized that I had made a mistake at work.  I thought maybe I should go to the pool then, before it was crowded, but, of course, I wanted more sleep.  I decided to lie down a little while, and, if I slept, so be it, and, if I couldn't, I would go to the gym. I woke up from a little less bad dream, and wondered if I should get up.  Probably.  I wanted to be in the pool by six.  When I opened my eyes and looked at the clock, it was 6:01.  I hurried as fast as I could to get out of the house. A funny thing happened last night when I was leaving the gym after weight-lifting.  Some staff at the front desk, whom I had never before seen, were talking about gross things that happen in the pool area.  They had no idea, so I gave them an earful.  They encouraged me to come and tell the staff any and every time I saw something, while it was still happening.  I don't think they realize how big of a de...
