No Rest for the Weary
Thursday, June 24th 2010
Boy everyone is so inspiring today. We are still in recovery mode from my dad's fall the other night.I want to comment on everyone's blogs, but it's not in the cards right now. I am just trying to keep my head above water and at least post something in my blog everyday. I look forward to getting to know all of you (some again!) but it will be a slow process. I don't want anyone to think I am not interested, I really am. I applaud all your successes
and appreciate the motivating posts....

We were keeping pressure on the gash with a towel and ice compress. When we lifted the towel one of the EMTs said &...

the garage is empty

fatrher's day - redux (not)
Monday, June 21st 2010
yesterday was a successful day in many ways. i guess what a difference a year makes (or as in this case, several years) is an accurate statement when it comes to my food choices during our father's day family gathering. surrounded by landminds of the edible kind, i avoided every single one. i wasn't tempted by the incredible cupcakes my niece made; the potato chips and dip stayed undipped (an uneaten) by this not so "skinny girl" and i ate my caesar salad --without the caesar sa...

it's day 3 and I am making progress. i don't feel as helpless as I did a week ago. i see a long tunnel, but there is a light at the end of it. i am absolutely determined to succeed, but i believe i will do it this time. because i am running out of time.my shoulder/arm hurts. it feels like a pinched nerve, but i worried about heart issues. you know how easy it is to worry about such things especially with my history. i will get to a doctor this week, because it is making for restless...
