Took off an hour early

Took Michael for EKG, drove through Taco Hell, went to cello lesson, I went to store during lesson, came home, loaded asphalt chunks in car, drove them to someone's house, unloaded, came home, walked for an hour, now home again! I am drinking water and hippie boy who needs calories is going to eat ice cream with melted chocolate while I am drinking water, although I will have a real snack later when I take my medicine.

Now we are listening to Rush play "Xanadu" on Youtube. The boys are so young in this video. I am used to the old men they are now! I guess if Michael can be patient and walk slowly with me for an hour I can listen to a little Rush. Do you know that Geddy Lee's name is Gary and he got the name Geddy because that is the way his Yiddish-speaking grandmother pronounced Gary? Yeah, I know more about Rush now than I ever did in the seventies. Led Zeppelin, too.

Well, I really must try to do some dishes tonight. Even with not cooking dinner again, things are getting out of hand. I am pretty tired, but I think getting some exercise helped. My feet hurt a lot, though.

I finally made an appt. with the Gyn. I realized that I think my weight loss has probably stalled due to hormones. It sounds like excuses, I think, BUT I am craving constantly...and NOT the tomatoes that are harmless (except for the salt I like with them). I am craving greasy fish, spicy foods and chocolate and spicy foods for me come with carbs; pizza, pasta... Tuesday I realized as I was walking at work to get my reports and walking back and forth to move to my new desk (grumble grumble - a VERY unhappy move for me!), that I could feel the weight in my uterus, that my fibroids must have grown tremendously quickly recently and that is probably why I am having problems like I haven't had in a while so badly again. I am probably carrying around a few pounds of tumors. SO I called to make an appt. To get the initial appt paid for I have to schedule it as my yearly so I can't get in until the second week of June, but that's not really too far away so I shouldn't bleed to death before then and I promise if such an event does seem imminent to go to the emergency room. I don't know why they should begin to grow so quickly. I haven't changed anything except for the better as far as diet and activity and all that stuff, but who knows what makes anything happen, I guess. Or I could just be wrong. I guess we'll see in a few weeks!

Happy for: My hippie boy. Really. Just an all around good kid whom I love so much and so much more every day. I love Emily too. She calls me maybe four or five days a week. I think we are happier and closer when she doesn't live at home. Funny, huh?
