Day 383 in my stumbling toward Mickey
Well, it appears that I have strep throat. Today I start antibiotics and hopefully I will start to feel better and get rid of this fever, too.
Today’s plan is to rest up and watch a couple of Disney movies. I think Tangled first and then maybe Big Hero Six or Brave. I figure it’s research for our trip in October. 🙂
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 382 in my journey toward Mickey
The bug is hanging on. My Doc says it is a virus that’s been going around. She suggests plenty of fluids and rest when I can. She says it could hang on for a couple weeks. I sure hope not.
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 381 in my dragging toward Mickey
Well, Dear Readers, I am in a funk. I don’t really know why. I think it may be the remnants of whatever bug I had over the weekend. I am tired, my joints ache, and I am craving sugar. I feel like I could crawl under the covers and sleep for a week.
So today’s plan is to soldier on and just let myself feel this way until I don’t feel this way anymore. It’s not a “woe is me” moment. It’s just a low energy, not feeling quite right moment.
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 379 in my marching toward Mickey
Today’s plan was to start moving again. My throat is feeling quite a bit better, so I wanted to get a few things done. First thing on the agenda? Soak in the sauna for awhile, then shower and head back to the house. Then I tackled three weeks of laundry. Now I can chill for the evening and continue to rest up my throat for work tomorrow.
Mike made it safely to the U.P. and back. He gave his sister a ride to stay with their mom for a month and a half. I was going to go with them, until I woke up with the sore throat and cough last Friday. Oh, well.
More tomorrow. Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 378 in moving toward Mickey
Today’s plan was to rest up. I’ve had two fairly sleepless nights, and I now have a sore throat. So today I have had a a quiet stay-at-home day with plenty of naps and plenty of liquids. Here’s hoping I feel more on top of my game tomorrow.
God bless your day!
Forgot to blog yesterday. Oops.
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 376 in my realizations on the way to meeting Mickey
Well, dear friends, today I have been in a funk for no apparent reason.
So here’s what I think. I think that sugar has crept back into my diet, slowly and insidiously. I haven’t been as careful about reading labels and tracking down nutritional information on my food choices. And most telling I been craving sugar again something fierce.
That’s got to be it now. I am back on it, and I will be tenacious in my food choices. Back to label reading, back to cooking more and ordering in less, and less eating out.
Hopefully in the next week this sugar-funk will lift and I can get back to enjoying this journey. I’ll keep you posted.
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 374 in my walk toward meeting Mickey
Today’s plan was to go to my dentist. It was just a routine cleaning…or so I thought. My bridge, which consists of one fake tooth attached to the two teeth next to it, has been feeling loose. Today I found out why. One of the conneted teeth has a cavity in it. Bleck!! So I have to go back for an hour and a half appointment to take care of it.
Folks, this has just not been my year health-wise. Oh, well. I just keep reminding myself that God is good all the time. And he promises strength to withstand all. *sigh*
Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 373 in making better choices for when I meet up with Mickey
Today’s plan was to make a healthy choice when we went out to dinner tonight. We ate at Potbelly. Their sandwiches are amazing! But I passed on the sandwiches and ordered a Mediterranean salad. The salad had roasted red peppers, artichokes, feta cheese and much more. I do not regret my choice and would choose it again. Plus I have half of the salad left for lunch tomorrow. 😄
It’s storming here tonight so that’s it for today. Meet you at the Kingdom!
Day 372 in getting healthier to meet up with Mickey
Today’s plan was to meet with my gastroenterologist and set up an appointment for my colonoscopy. I had one a couple years back, but he is keeping an eye on things. My appointment was for 2:00 pm and at 3:30 pm I was still waiting to see the doctor. So frustrating. I had to meet for this prescreening, because my doctor is with a different practice now. Once the doctor was available and entered the room he chatted with me for fifteen minutes, going over any recent medical issues (ie. endometrial cancer), getting family history (no colon cancer in my family), etc… He is a delightful person, I must admit. I totally trust him with my, well, you know. Next Wednesday it’s colonoscopy time again. It’s pretty hard to get excited about that. 😦 But I know from a getting healthy perspective it’s a necessity. *sigh*
