Have A Spectacular Day!

So... I missed a day blogging... in my defense, I was feeling pretty crappy yesterday... coughing so badly that I missed work. I was up and down all night... mostly up... (and not in the good way).   I'm going to try to get out today and pretend that I feel decent.  I know if I sit here at home, I'll just wallow around in self-pity about how I feel horrible and can't do anything.  But this is a positive year for me... I am done with the self-pity crap. I can do anything I set my mind to... Right now I'm washing clothes... and even though it is below freezing outside, I think it's going to be a good day. I thought about making new year's resolutions to lose a little weight.. or be more active... but I wanted something a bit more realistic. I can maintain a positive attitude and lose weight... or be active whenever I want.  I have been eating more healthily. I always do that a few weeks before I have bloodwork done anyway... I am supposed to go to my regular doctor on the 16th... and the Endocrinologist on the 17th.  I have been taking my medications like I should... and the holidays weren't entirely bad on my eating.. I held myself in check for the most part.  I'm sure my levels are going to come down.... I should be checking my sugar levels each day, but it just becomes a problem to find time to whip out the meter... punch myself with the needle to get blood... or maybe it's just my fear of needles getting to me.  I will try to work on that.  We had just a little bit of snow yesterday... about an inch or so... I sorta like the snow... but then another part of me wants Spring to hurry up and arrive.  I suppose I shouldn't wish my life away... I'll be happy with each day as it comes... and make the most of it while it is here. I might go shopping in a bit... that always lifts my spirits.. even when they don't need lifting.
Dad called at 6:30 this morning... as usual. He just asked if it was snowing... when I said... "no.. I don't think so" he said he'd check in with me later... weird how our conversations go most of the time, but I'm getting used to it. Well.. I'm going to get cleaned up... dressed.. and head out after I take my load of laundry out... and to anyone reading this I hope you have a spectacular day!
