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!



Zita :)

Year Three, Day 58: Marilyn Monroe's Measurements

Day 24 of daily hooping. I am determined to shrink these abs, if it is the last thing I do! Perhaps I should have that written on my tombstone: "Here lies Zita". Flat abs at last!! Well I certainly hope to attain my flat abs goal BEFORE I am dead and gone! Today's video was another rush job. But I downloaded some fun tunes to my Kindle last night.  I enjoyed my hoop session more listening to the Punjabi music. It reminded me of the "Maritime Bhangra Dancers".  If you haven't heard of them, you should look them up. They never fail to put a smile on my face! I am not smiling so much looking at this video. My hooping skills have improved a bit, but that menopot has got to go! After my hoop session, I walked 3/4 mile to the bus stop. I was planning on attending the 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Grotto, but it was cutting it close. Plus, I was feeling the need for a Starbucks iced tea.  Today was Iced Passionfruit/Black Tea, no sugar whatsoever.   The ic...

Year Two, Day 274: I Like Me. RIP Packy!

Today's fruit of the spirit that I am focusing on is patience.  This I need more of. And coincidentally (or not), I read in my book Challenge: A Daily Meditation Program Based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius by Mark Link, S.J. the following: "I asked God to give me happiness, and God said, 'No.' He said that patience is a by-product of tribulation. It isn't granted, it is earned." Well, not to sound smug, but I am certainly earning my patience award!  :) I am having a good day, however I am a bit over caffeinated. I earned (patiently lol) a free latte today at Starbucks.  On a side note, I love being a regular customer. I walked into my regular Starbucks today, and one of the barista's yelled, "Zita!" from across the room. I felt like I was in an episode of "Cheers"! I love being recognized in a friendly manner. I had a venti "Smoked Butterscotch Latte with soy".   I have found the per...

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...
