Year Two, Day 328: Serious Business

Oy, I am having such brain fog! I am, however extremely grateful for the sunshine!

But most tired. More than usual. I am going to keep my doctor's appointment on Friday. I am wondering if perhaps I have a sinus infection. Or bronchitis. Or the dreaded walking pneumonia.  Something is definitely not right.  But chances are I will wake up Friday morning feeling much better and be tempted to cancel my appiontment.

NOT!!!

The least I can do is get some prescription Sudafed. If this is just seasonal allergies, that is the only med that has ever worked for me in the past. It is not available over the counter in Oregon because of the drug dealers. They messed it up for all of us. Or, er shall I say they "methed" it up for all of us!

Sorry, not a joking matter. But I couldn't resist!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is "patience". I think I'd better put that out there near the beginning of my blog today. Because I am getting most impatient with my sinuses and lungs!

So, I am once again canceling students. Heading out for some pho and a haircut. Then back home to bed early for me.

My housemate made some lovely chicken and vegetable soup with Indian spices. Quite spicy and oh so wonderful.  I had some for lunch.  I could feel my sinuses open as I ate it. Something about eating food made by someone else is very comforting.

I still have my inhaler from back in December when I last had this killer cough. When my lungs feel tight I have been using it. It does help. So perhaps it's a bronchial infection? It's interesting to me that I have never been a smoker, and yet it's my lungs that seem to be where I have difficulty.

So, this is going to be a short blog tonight. I am heading to bed to get some extra rest.

I have a pile of ammo:



A pile of books I had reserved from the library, some yarn to knit a baby blanket and a mug of tea (not pictured).

Also not pictured, my comfy pj's and slippers.

To bed I go! Getting healthy is serious business!

I just have to get through one more day before I see my doctor.  Sick and tired of being sick tired am I!

Happy Wednesday!

Talk to you tomorrow!

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...
