Next Big Trip
Brooke and I have bought our tickets and will officially be in the UK March 16-26! We're planning to visit London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, and Stonehenge (greatest of all the henges), but we haven't figured out which days we will be where yet. We know where we want to stay in London and Edinburgh. If anyone has any recommendations for Cardiff, that would be great. Also if anyone would like to weigh in on what sights are not to be missed and what sights are completely overrated, I welcome your input. We've been to London before, so we have some ideas for things to do there. No strong plans for Cardiff (except seeing the Torchwood hq thing) or Edinburgh (except seeing Edinburgh Castle). Yay, trip planning!
In not so great news, I had my first physical last week, and I have high cholesterol. I am supposed to work on modifying my diet and taking fish oil supplements. In 3 months, I'll go back for a follow up to see if this will have lowered my cholesterol enough to be ok or if I have to go on medication. I'm worried that I will have to go on medication because many of the diet modifications she suggested are things I already do - eggs <= 3x a week, low/no fat dairy, minimal fried foods, fry only in olive or canola oil. So I don't know how much a diet change will help. I'm hoping the fish oil supplements will help without giving me the socially unpleasant side effects of burping and farting. Boo, diet planning!
