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!

Day 347: My Big Fat Greek Salad!!

I have perfected the art of making a Greek salad!  I have made two huge bowls in the last week. My kinds rave. Essentially the secret is f vegetables , good feta cheese, Greek olives and a homemade dressing made with light, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar,  and oregano. Here is my recipe: MY BIG FAT GREEK SALAD Serves 4 hungry adults 4 cups greens (I used a "spring mix" from Fred Meyer) 2 cucumbers 6 roma tomatoes one small red onion 1 cup cubed feta cheese 1 cup Greek olives (pitted) Get out a big bowl. Peel a clove of garlic, cut in half and rub it over the interior of the bowl.  Wash the lettuce if it is not prewashed and packaged like mine was.  Dry the leaves, and tear into bite sized pieces. Throw into the big bowl. Note: Romaine lettuce is good to include in the mix, because it is hearty. Peel the cucumbers and dice. Add to bowl. Cut the roma tomatoes in half and squeeze out the seeds (otherwise they make th...

Year Two, Day 307: Chasing Away The Gloomy Weather...with Music and a Smile! :)

It seems to me that most of the city is depressed, tired and sick. I still have my low grade snuffly nose, along with sneezing, and itching eyes.  Low energy. It is nice to know I am not the only one. Misery loves company, don't you know! Even through the gloom, I had an enjoyable day.  I told myself several times that I really am a lucky woman. My kids are grown, I'm going to be a GRANDMA, and I love my work. My church job is a nice secure little job and it seems I am quite needed there.  I am still learning the ropes. But I am enjoying it. Meeting new people. And best of all, I have only a 1 1/2 minute commute (by foot!). I have a cozy little room in a household full of wonderful laid back people.  People who love animals and music. But best of all, my afternoons are filled with music. I basically get on the bus and travel about town, sitting at pianos, visiting with students, who are like my family. We talk. They play the piano for me. I offer pointe...

Year Two, Day 50: Mindful Biking

More breaking ground today. I rode my bike to the Max, and then to my first student, who coincidentally lives close to my gym.  Maggie waiting patiently for me at the gym, 6/28/2016 I am starting to notice positive changes from my daily biking.  First of all, I feel such a sense of freedom and exhiliration when I hop on and take off.  It reminds me of my childhood. My brother and I rode all over Vancouver, WA on summer break.  It was my first experience of independence from a rather harsh father.  Back then we didn't wear helmets. And there were many hills. I will never forget the joy of coasting down a hill with the wind in my hair. I have hints of the feeling now. I also have noticed my energy is higher. And although I am sore (cycling uses muscles that I have not worked in awhile), I am getting stronger. Feeling strong! Cycling is also good for my mind. I find myself going through routes in my head. I am hoping to add more routes to my day...
