Saturday Morning -- At Last
Posted 03-05-2011 at 09:08 AM by LookinForMayberry
DH is next door in his radio room; I cannot tell if he's talking to himself, or someone on the radio -- judging by the language he's using, I hope it's to himself.
Behind me, Bigun decided I wasn't going to respond to his whining and nudging, and finally settled down to the Greenie chew bone that I bought on sale last night at the Petsmart. He's a destructive chewer, so I have a suspicion it won't last long. He already partially destroyed the rope-rubber ball toy I bought at the same time. At least he doesn't chew the furnishings.
I am recently returned from my Weight Watchers meeting. These new meds are my excuse for gaining back 2.8 of the three pounds I lost last week. I hope that is the case, and that my body adjusts soon. It would be hard to take losing only a tenth of a pound (on average) per week.
Still, I am sticking to it. I learned that blood pressure meds cause hair loss, and I have to get this weight off before I find myself on those, too. It's bad enough that the supplement (DHEA) that my FORMER doctor prescribed caused me to loose a LOT of hair, but at least my NEW doctor believes I will grow it back. Somehow being a fat, bald woman at 55 is not an appealing self-image.
I was supposed to have coffee with a long time friend at Bell Square's Starbucks this morning, but she called yesterday, begging off because of a bad cold. I feel sorry for her. I've been home since last August and she has canceled four times before, all because she had some illness or another. I think it is possible that these are all stress related, but cannot tell her that thought. I just try to give her sympathy and offer to listen whenever she needs to talk.
Another friend just emailed me yesterday to let me know she's returned home (Tucson) from her trip to be with her dad in his last hours. He was gone by the time she got there, but he was in his nineties and wanted to go, so she is comforted by knowing he's finally gotten his wish. That's a comfort to me.
So often I wonder how I came to be so fortunate to live such a charmed life, while so many that I care about are experiencing misfortune. I wish everyone could have my life, and thank God for my blessings in the same prayers.
Today, since I no longer have my morning plans, Bigun and I will go for a long walk, and then DH and I will have some quality time, even if it is just a trip to Home Depot and the library.
Right now, I am going for my breakfast.
I wish each of you a good weekend in whatever activity you desire. God bless.
