Spring is finally here!  It was a beautiful day outside.  I wish I had time to get out and enjoy it.  Well, maybe tomorrow

Aaauugghh! Mondays
One month, two weeks, one day until school is out for summer.  I'm ready now.

Back to work tomorrow. Only one month, two weeks and two days until schools out for summer.

lazy day

I'm tired.  Finally back to the Y tonight for aqua fit classes.  Took it easy, it felt good to back.  I'm glad tomorrow is Friday.

The increase in steps must mean moving more because I'm feeling better - I wish that were true.  It just means I had a lot of excess work today because of my sick days.  I'm exhausted.

Still taking it cautious, one day at a time.

Back to work today.  Didn't wear pedometer so I estimated.

Well, I think it's back to work tomorrow for me.  I really need to get out more.  Went to the grocery store to pick up a few things today.  Put my groceries on the belt.  Just as it became my turn to check out I realized I left my wallet at home.  Oops.  The clerk moved my stuff back to my basket & I ran home to get debit card.  Luckily I live close to the store.

Feeling a bit better today.  Got some much needed light housekeeping done around the house.  Even did some sewing.  Tried not to over do it.

Still estimating.  Back to hospital today for more bloodwork, mamogram and bone density test.  Liver function test came back with improvements but now cholesterol is sky high.  Probably due to sitting doing nothing with this rotten spastic back.  Also found out yesterday I have a hiatial (sp?) hernia.  Probably explains the years of acid reflux.  Here's hoping tomorrow will be a better day.

yucky still!

Those were pretty strong drugs yesterday.  Have powerful headache but the back pain is much milder today.  Hopefully tomorrow will be even better.  Still estimating steps.  Did not move far today.

Still estimating.  Spent the afternoon in hospital ER.  Pain got worse!  Ran a bunch of tests, everything came back clean.  Doctor thinks the pain in the a.m., prior to hospital visit may have been me passing a kidney stone.  Nothing conclusive.  They drugged me up and sent me home.

Still estimating steps.  Did a lot of walking through stores today and three slow trips around the block.  Spent last night at sleep clinic.  My new CPAP for sleep apnea has been ordered.  The study showed I slept on my back once the machine was cranked up. I haven't slept on my back in years!  Amazing thing was my back didn't hurt as much this morning as it has the past two + weeks.  Could be because I wasn't curled in a "little" ball - bending my spine - all night long.

It was a beautiful but chilly spring day today.  I was glad to see the sunshine and all the neighbor kids playing outdoors during spring break

Still going with an estimate.  Making several trips around the block now.  Sleep clinic visit is tonight.

Step count is still an estimate.  Feeling better today so hubby took me to the grocery store - he pushed the cart and got items off top and bottom shelves so I wouldn't bend, stretch or twist.  Also took another walk outside.  Weather is getting warmer.

Went for a short walk outside today.  Tried counting my steps since I am still walking slow and easy.  Lost count around 2,000 but estimated the rest.  Neighbors must think I'm nutz.

See yesterday.  Tomorrow my goal is to walk around the block.
