Chop Chop, Snip Snip!
Cut off the hair today. All of it. It was halfway down my back and was starting to give me headaches, so it had to go. I was trying to grow it out for Locks of Love, and apparently, according to my stylist, I just managed it. My hair is really curly, so it looks shorter than it is. But when he...

Lay off of Fat People, Okay?!
I just need to rant for a minute here. For the record, not all fat people are out there scarfing down enough food at a single meal to feed a third-world country for a week. Not all of us are slobby couch-potatoes who watch our expanding waistlines with complacent tolerance. Not all of us are lazy,...

Back on My Feet
I had my second follow-up visit with my foot surgeon this morning, and, much to my relief, he told me that I could take off "the boot" and start wearing tennis shoes. HOORAY! The boot does a great job of protecting the foot, but it makes you walk funny because the sole does NOT bend. At all. So you...

Returning to Life
Well, this has been an odd few days. I went in for surgery on Friday morning, and went home that afternoon. I was put to bed, and I didn't really wake up again until Sunday afternoon. I was only sort of awake on Sunday and Monday, and I used up the last of the painkillers Monday at bedtime. So today...

What Do You Say?
I don't really know what to write. Tomorrow is the foot surgery. Nervous... yeah. I don't like general anaesthesia. I don't like not knowing what's going on around me, and I don't like being out of control. Ugh. Relieved... yeah. The pain has been pretty bad the last few days, so it's nice to know...

March for Babies Day
Yes, I did the March for Babies today, broken toe and all. I took my crutches with me, but I ended up leaving them in the car. It just seemed easier to walk slowly and carefully than to try to crutch up and down hills and across grassy knolls. So I didn't set any records, but I did meet my...

Biting the Budget Bullet
Gas prices and grocery prices are killing me. Actually, it's really that the consumer debt I've racked up over the years eats a lot of the paycheck. So I don't have the wiggle room to adjust for a $40 fill-up. Or apples at $1 apiece. I had made a good-sized hole in paying off the debt before the...

Surgery!
I have to have surgery. The toe that I thought I had broken isn't. Here's what happened when I went to the doctor about it. My right great toe has been painful for about 18 months, and I was pretty much trying to ignore the pain because I thought it was either arthritis, gout, or the fact that I...

Our weight-loss support group at work decided to participate in Walk for Babies for the second year in a row. The goal is to raise money to help prevent premature birth and to provide care for preemies. The URL below is for my "personal page," where you can individually sponsor me by making a...

Time Just Flies
We are working so hard on the house and other things, that computer pursuits, including blogging, have had to take a back seat. Finally got the insurance claim completed, so now we are waiting on the adjuster to review it all. And now it's tax time. LOTS of work to do in the next week to get that...
