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.

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.

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!
