I’m sure that because I’m tired that, when I get home tonight, I will work out for at least an hour.

Last physical therapy appointment today. Neck feeling so much better. Never want to stop going.

Saw a bee. It flew right by my face and it smelled like honey. Amazing.

Perfect Tommy’s vacation is over. He starts school next week. Swears he needs at least one more week of vacation. Ha!

Good news is that my blood pressure is low/normal, I have more energy and endurance on my walks, and I’m feeling stronger.

Bad news, I’m not losing any weight!

But I’m not gaining any more weight, either, so that’s good?

I think I may have to really take a look at what I’m eating/not eating because I’ve had HORRIBLE heartburn for the last week and rather than suffer through it without indulging, I chose to indulge in a cheeseburger, a milkshake, pancakes, and a bottle of wine over the weekend. The heartburn wasn’t as bad.

STUPID MIXED SIGNALS.

My favorite thing to eat for breakfast right now is a 1/2 cup of greek yogurt mixed with 1/4 of wheat bran and 1/4 cup of flax meal. So yummy, so filling. If I have to give that up I will cry.

Also, I think I may have to start schlepping out to the organic hippie store in Palm Desert for my produce. The selection that I can get in the regular markets is not good enough, same with milk and eggs. But cheese? Everyone has excellent cheese. Go figure!

Today my left hip really hurt so I supplemented pain meds with chocolate chip cookies. Sometimes, it has to be done.

I tried to do 12 of 12 today, but I forgot to take pictures after a certain point and I can’t find the USB cord for my camera… such is life!

In health updates, last week I started another round of physical therapy. It’s at a different clinic and they have a slightly different approach than the first clinic I went to; less massage, more strength training and I think for me and my injury it’s a better approach. My range of motion has improved significantly in one week and my pain level has dropped from what I would call a 7 to a 5. THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING DIFFERENCE.

I also got a spinning kit from the Yarn Pirate – now I just need a spinning implement and I can teach myself to spin! Hooray!

Tom has about two weeks of summer left. The floor is not close to being done. I am trying to be patient.

When he goes back to teaching, I feel a little less stressed about my job and the house (even though we are now officially upside down in our mortgage instead of just theoretically) because I’m also less jealous because he’s not home all day while I’m underemployed and bitter.

But if he’s not at home, who will sign for our packages? I can get them at work, but everyone is so nosy about what I get. I am tempted to order sex toys from Good Vibrations or Babeland and have them delivered to the office just for the shock value.

Needless to say, I am on that Flight Attendant’s side in this recent carry-on luggage/dramatic beer + inflatable slide fracas. Sometimes, you just can’t take anymore shit and somebody hits you in the face with something they shouldn’t even be touching, and you need a drink and to ride on a slide.
