Damp

It's official. I am sick. Dang it. It was bound to happen. Everyone around me has gotten. I had to stay home to today. Can't get L.L. sick. I ache all over. Even my hair hurts. Wish I could sleep. Coughing too much. I always get sicker at night. Add a headache to the mix and well I am miserable. Going to cruise blogs and try to get a game plan on food. I need to try to cook. I really don't like it. I am no good at it because I don't do. Picture dog chasing tail. So I am going to try and get a list together and then if I feel any better later I will sneak off to food shop. I hope I can kick this thing to the curb.

I walked yesterday. Not far, but it was nice to walk alone and listen to a podcast. To think. I guess I am going to try taking L.L. out for at least a mile walk until it gets too hot. Then make myself do another couple of miles. I will be happy with 3 miles a day. I guess really I could walk 2 miles in the morning. Very Very Early. It's just I know I am a morning person. If I don't get it out of the way it is just so hard to make myself do it. I am just going to set an intention and do my best. So walking is the top priority. So let it be written, so let it be done. Anyone know which movie that's from. Here's a clue. Parted the Red Sea. Random. I know.

I had a rotten weekend food wise. I hope this is all wedding jitters. Having my sister come to town. Stuff like that. Not feeling well. I haven't wanted to get a dress for this reason. I have decided it's really not my weight. It's the sweating. If you have read my blog for a while I have talked about this before. I sweat so much that it disrupts my life. I am always damp. Every time I want to get a nice picture at a special event. When I want to look nice, like church. I sweat. So I keep repeating this mantra. Why should I spend money on a nice dress and stuff when I will hate how I look no matter what. I know I will be drenched. I need to get over this and get my butt out to look at some more dresses. I will fight it. I know this. Life is full of doing things that you know you must do. Surrender. Just do it. Hey that's a great slogan.

Ok, going to try to sleep a little more. Usually I take a shot of NyQuil and can sleep a cold off. It's not doing the trick this time. I was up most of the night. I just want to feel better. I don't have time to be sick.

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

    My husband and i are under the impression that Niquil just doesnt have the kick it used to have. We think that they took something out of it so it wouldn't have to be put behind the pharmacy counter when all that hub bub started a few years ago about people using over the counter medicine to make drugs. Well we think they wanted Niquil to remain on the shelf where people were more likely to buy it.....Thats our story and we're sticking to it. LOL! Hope you feel tons better soon! Hugs! deb

    I think they took the "good stuff" out of Nyquil a few years back. You might be better off going to the pharmacy counter and asking for one of the cold/flu remedies they keep in the back. Feel better soon!

    Wait, did they take the alcohol out of Nyquil? Well heck, I can use it again! Of course, it probably won't work as well...hope you feel better, Dana.

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 m...

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...
