Daily Food Diary – Day 141 of 365

It is 141 Days since I started posting my Daily Food Diary and this is the 1st Day that I almost forgot to do it!

In my defense (no excuses):

1) Yesterday, was a ROUGH day.  We had one more day of cold rainy weather and my lungs decided they were done.  I did get my workout done and laundry.  Dan made supper and did the dishes.  I went to bed at 7 pm and woke up at 5am to a much better day.

2) Today is grandson Lucas’s birthday.  We won’t be seeing them for a few more days, but when I got up I was focussed on sending him birthday wishes and a few dollars to spend on a gift from us.

3) This morning I had an 8:30 appointment with my respiratory specialist.  I still have a lot of infection to clear up – especially in my left lung, but with better weather and the new sinus meds  I am on – it should happen!  Also chances are slim to nil that I will drown in my own mucus when I am under anesthesia for my hernia operation.  I am still on the waiting list (since February) but that is ok.  It gives me longer to clear up my lungs and a better chance of recovery from the anesthetic and the hernia.

4) On the way home, we stopped at the Dollar Store.  I hadn’t been to a Dollar Store for ages, so I may have gotten a bit carried away.  I put together a new bouquet for Dan’s parents’ grave, got a new solar frog for our garden (and some green paint because it  is just pale grey), a new hair clip, and a new book  to make notes of the Buddist wisdom that I have been studying this year – core values, breathing techniques, and the like, plus a few odds and ends.

My new notebook & frog. 

5) Finally, tonight is granddaughter Maddy’s last band concert of the year.  So, she called me about some last minute changes to the plan, I have to do my workout and my sinuses, AND take Molly for a good walk so she won’t destroy the place while we are gone tonight.

Maddy’s School is just a few blocks from us, so very convenient for attending concerts and such.

All in all, just more going on than I am used to!  I was about to start my workout and remembered to do my blog.  141 Days and still counting!
