Jeannie drove me to my appointment this morning, and then we went by her medical facility on the way home so she could get her first m'gram. She just turned 40 and was a bit apprehensive about it, but said it wasn't bad at all.
After all that we stopped by Costco. I finally broke down and bought a toaster. I've been doing without one for several years because I didn't want to buy anything made in China, but I just gave up - the only American made toaster available that I can find is a 1940 retro refurbished model for $150.
With the new toaster you may be able to figure out what I bought to go with it - a big box of Eggos (Costco's brand which is much cheaper and much healthier, plus tastes better.) I had bacon, eggs, and eggos for supper this evening. Restocked my supply of frozen fish filets, a couple bottles of wine, and a big container of biscotti which I love to have on hand when I want something sweet (and they contain 180 calories each!). Since it was lunch time we had one of Costco's Hebrew National hot dogs to eat. This is a day to just stray from my normally healthy diet and eat stuff I like but don't often indulge in.
The rain we had a week or so ago brought out all the weeds in the ground, so tomorrow I hope to go out and pull a bunch of them before we get another whole week of rain beginning Wednesday.
One thing that has occurred since I got sick is that my bood pressure went down so much that I am not taking anything for it at present. I take my blood pressure every couple of days and it is staying low. I would love to never have to go back to the meds.
I am really starting to feel so much better. It hasn't been all that long since I slept half the day, and I rarely take a nap lately. But I'm tired tonight so I will soon turn off the computer and hit my wonderful comfy bed.
- Figured It Out
Last night I was reading the book on eliminating grains (carbs) from the diet, and it mentions that withdrawal from carbs and sugars can sometimes be experienced. That is why I have been relatively listless, find it hard to concentrate on anything...
- Yikes! Almost February
The site rent bills were sent out today and I paid mine already. The month of January was a killer for my utilities - both gas and electric. I hope better weather lies ahead, and wish today was just the beginning of what is to come. ...
- Tweet Tweet!
I have lately watched way more TV than is good for a person, but I am really interested in the disappearance of the Malaysian plane. I usually watch CNN, and the host of whatever show is on says "Tweet me with your questions". Well yes, I have lots...
- Quiet Sunday
I haven't done anything today except to take back the radio I bought a couple of days ago. I didn't like the static and just didn't want to fool around trying to figure out where I might put it. I should just buy a good digital...

Nothing much happening here - I've tried to get out at least once a day to shop for groceries and other items. I bought an electronic programmable thermostat which Steve is planning to install tomorrow and which should save me on the utility...
