I've been losing weight but have not really changed anything I'm doing, so when I weighed in at the doctor's I was surprised by the weight loss. I've lost even more, so again it surprised me. I actually started to get a little worried about it but then I remembered something I was doing that had made the difference: I am drinking 2 cups of green ( Read more... )

When I give people advice I give it strongly, impassioned, to the measure of "This is what you have to do and this is how you have to do it." My advice is informed, exacting, and precise. I see no point in giving suggestive advice, half-hearted, off the cuff, and without strong research behind it. This way of doing it rubs some people the wrong way ( Read more... )

I went to a doctor appointment this morning. The doctor put me on an additional high blood pressure medication to take at the same time as the other. He also prescribed an inhaler (albuterol sulfate) to deal with a slight chest congestion. Then he sent me over for x-rays of my chest and lumbar. I have to wait until the pain goes away in my lower ( Read more... )

I told my sister not to call me anymore between the hours of 10 PM and 8 AM. She's been pretty good about not doing it, although she has called at 11:00 PM once or twice. I'd say that's a win... err, almost, because now she's text messaging me during the wee hours. She's not calling though.

*rolls eyes and shakes head sadly*

Loophole!I assumed ( Read more... )

I've been working on a new website project that is taking up a lot of my free time. I'll be glad when the design aspect is done. Creating from scratch is much harder than using a software package with templates to use as the basic design, but for me designing from blank pages in the end creates a site that doesn't turn out with the look and feel of ( Read more... )

For many years I've done tax returns for my immediate family and some other people. Last year after doing them I decided to call it quits because it's tiring and boring work. Since then people have asked me, begged me in fact, to continue doing their taxes. So, I am. LOL ( Read more... )

I went to McDonald's the other night. I ordered, paid, got my order and left, and then days later was going through my receipts for the week when I came across an odd thing. When I had paid for my order I paid with a $20 bill and received the correct change. The receipt did not reflect that. It read that I had paid with $50 and my change had been ( Read more... )

I woke up early this morning. I made coffee, turned on the computer, was waiting for everything to load and update. I was sipping coffee to wake myself up slowly, enjoying the moment, still sluggish but in good spirits. That's when I noticed my phone was flashing silently with an incoming call. The time was 3:59 AM ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a lot better now. I'm off of the painkillers and Amoxicillin and can eat most solids again. The ability to eat more than cream of this and that has helped with energy levels. So, really, all-in-all, this whole oral surgery thing has not been a bad experience, not anywhere near as bad as I feared it would be ( Read more... )

I'm still a bit loopy from my oral surgery and the pain killers.

Doo waa waaaa!

Loopy!

I'm dozing a lot and sleeping when it suites me, which is quite a bit.

Zoning in, zoning out.

Which is fine with me. It's like a vacation!

Vacation!
