Monday Roll Call

Monday was pretty much my own except for an appointment with Alex and a brief trip to the supermarket in the morning.  I spend my days off either doing me and Ed's laundry, or taking little catnaps...or both even.  I don't sleep like normal people at night, so I welcome the days I can just snooze off and on throughout the day.

I've been really sticking to the program lately but yesterday, I fell off the wagon and ate some potato chips and ranch dressing.  MY BAD.  The carb load was way more than the belly could handle and I was bloated and uncomfortable all day.  I think these little slips into my old food habits are meant to be a reminder to me that my tool still works and to not abuse it.  It takes my system about 3 days to feel normal again after being stupid like that.

I have Tuesday off as well, and plan to finish the laundry and have Alex cut the grass.  My labs came back and my Iron is still very low so it looks like infusions are in my future.  The protein, Vitamin D, and B-12 were all within normal limits though.  I have a UTI and can now go on the antibiotics since the doctor called in the anti-fungal pills to take care of the resulting yeast infection.  I have 3 appointments on Thursday....did have 4 but they were too close together so I rescheduled one for later on.  Labor Day weekend will have me very busy at work with Labor Day Longneck Style and all the tourists having their last pow-wow of the season.  I'll be glad to get back to normal living again.
