OK, where was I?
The kitty's leg is still gross, but less so now that she's cleaned it up a bit. Apparently the swelling and sores are par for the course with casts (I have no experience whatsoever with casts, how was I to know?). The vet is in Cleveland for the week, but we've been instructed to keep her leg clean and use Neosporin if I felt like it and just let her heal, and if she's not better next week then we take her in. I'm just glad she's home.
Bleh, it's not quite 11 yet and already I'm hungry. That's what I get for overloading on carbs at breakfast! I know better! I brought healthy snacks with me today though, so I should be ok.
I'm just plain exhausted, and I know it's from being sick. I don't know what's up with me--I hardly ever get sick, and now it's like just when I'm getting better some new illness pops up. This is not fun. I need to go buy some new vitamins. I ran out a few weeks ago and haven't replaced them. I need to look at my DietPower reports to see if I'm low on intake of any other vitamins/minerals. I think I've been low on iron, because I've been getting really dizzy lately. That's not uncommon for me (I have vertigo), but recently it's been the grab-onto-something-before-I-fall-over, I-can't-see-because-my-head-is-buzzing kind of dizzy, and that is never a good sign. More red meat. Or something. I'll check it out when I get home, and I'm sending myself an email so I don't forget.
On a more positive note, Steve is putting in a deposit on our house tonight. I wasn't really excited about this house, but the more I think about it and the closer it gets to being ours, the more excited I am. I still have no idea what I want to do with the bedrooms, but I'll figure it out. I've got time.
And now.... comments!!!
Julie... Glad to see you here, chickie.
I don't know what to tell you about the foot/back exercise issues. I would suggest water aerobics if it's a possibility--great workout, and time in a pool. If nothing else, hop in Kaleigh's pool and do some leg swings or something. Something is better than nothing, right? And Woohoo! on the no ice cream! I had the same reaction to guacamole yesterday (and you know how I *love* guacamole!)--I made some with lunch, took about 2 bites and I just did not want it al all. But I guess that's a good thing.
MsRD... You know we don't care about numbers unless they're negative! You don't have to write anything down, you know how you're doing. Drink up and flush out the system and those salt pounds will be gone in no time.
Mud... I think that's something we ALL need to focus on. I know I certainly do. Way to go with the pedometer miles! *sigh* I remember those high-mile days... no more! I've got a desk job now! But at least one of us is getting in the steps!
Jessica... Keep up the good work with all the exercise! It's hard when we're just trying to get to work to make ends meet, but just think, the extra effort now makes things easier in the future, right? Right. That's what I keep telling myself.
Joy... Good to see you chick! Posting always helps keep me on track (or get me back on track, whatever the case may be), so stick around!
Did I miss anyone? I don't think so, but if I did, sorry! Ugh, my head hurts from all that thinking! Haha, I'd better get back to work now.
Oy, I'm a little loopy today. Have a good Monday, chicks.
