Catching up

Well my computer is toast. I think. My daughter is looking for a good buy on another, smaller laptop. There is also a guy in my church that might have some for sale. Any hoo. That puts me at the library to make a quick post and check up on some of you.

L.L. is improving! I can't believe it. We took her off all the narcotics and anxiety meds and she is back to her old self. She is walking with assist and standing on her own. No more terrors. No more freak outs. I am getting off by 3pm too. Job life is looking up.

On the flip side, my legs and butt are still killing. This has been so weird. If it was a pulled butt muscle shouldn't be feeling better by now? I did it quite some time ago. Also, I have pulled something in my upper arm. The toe is healing. I walked 4 miles Saturday and it was ok. Later on though it did start to ache again. Especially on Monday. I walked around the neighborhood pushing L.L. in some funky shoes. Walked this morning and then again this afternoon with L.L. Probably getting in around 3 miles. So far, so good. Fingers crossed. I have get back to EVERY morning walking. I need to get a new walking schedule. I don't think I am going to be able to walk the 13 miles for the marathon. It's just too much for my body right now. I need to heal up a bit. So my walking buddy has been training still. She needs to walk at a different time now, so I have been using no buddy to get out of walking as well. Walking is my salvation. I must do it or suffer the consequences. I know this, yet I am resisting it. Give up Dana~

On the food front. Well, I had the Gkid over the weekend so I didn't do so good. I have been super anxious and emotional. Letting stuff hurt my feelings that I should just brush off. Letting the Gkids get to me while I was sitting Valentine's Day. Thinking I had left my backpack with my laptop, reader and ipod in the car. Then going to look for it. Finding it not there. Freaking out cause I thought it was stolen. Then remembering I had left it at home. UGH! That kind of stuff just exhausts me. Still feeling foggy. Hoping that this doesn't last too much lonoger.

On the good side. I got on the scales thiking that I might as well get all my depressing stuff over with and was surprised and happy to see that I am again in Onderland. 199.6. Seeing that number helped me to make better choices today. I still need to shop for a dress for my son's wedding. I just can't make myself go shopping. I know, weird.

Well this turned into a longer post then I intended. Hoping to get back on line soon. Time to catch up with a few of you guys.

Keep the mood and the food real.........

    Well that darn computer! I don't know where you shop there, but I always loved the Marshall's Superstores there in AZ. Always could find something great for a great price.

    I'm so glad your LL is doing better. What a relief for all of you! I hope you toe heals and you can find a new computer.

    And congratulations on Onederland!

    Onderland is Wonderful! Can't wait to get there myself.

    Maybe you could do some MOB dress shopping online to get an idea of what you want (or don't) It might take a little of the pressure off.

    Glad the LL is better and glad your job stress is decreasing. But AVOID those horrible fast food places! They don't care about you!

    Congrats on onederland. Life would be so much easier if it would quit throwing all different kinds of bumps in the road, wouldn't it? If only it were that simple.

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I miss them terribly, but at the same time I feel like this

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don

Dana Does Cancer

Good Morning! It's been a long time since I used this blog. I've decided that I had so much success using this blog as a tool to lose 100 pounds, I'm going to blog my way as I fight cancer To The Best of My Ability. Yep, it looks like I have rectal cancer. There is a 20 mm tumor in the old poop shoot. Just shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Seems a fitting consequence for being an asshole for the first half of my life. (my two children will verify this) The good news it's not gone to the lymph nodes per the CT scan, I will get the results of a PET scan, along with a port for chemo Monday or Tuesday. And so it begins... I have every reason to be optimistic. It's still early. I'm still  going to need radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and wait 5-6 weeks and have a resection, then more chemo is needed. I am grateful for health insurance, though I can't work for at least six months, maybe more. When I went to the surgeon on Friday he told me I
