More of the Same

Well, I did stay home today. I didn't have the fogginess I had when I stayed home last week; this time, I got as far as brushing my teeth, washing my face, and getting the coffee made before my stomach yelled up at me "Hey! You ain't goin' nowhere!" and I had to listen. This is growing very tiresome.

So I was home, and so was K, who has a terrible cold. The only advantage of this was that since her car was in for service, I was home so we could go out and get her some medicine and soup for lunch. Other than that, she has spent the entire day on the couch. Ah well. It's one of the disadvantages of her not smoking anymore: she doesn't take the occasional break from the family room to go to the basement for a cigarette. Oh, I'm not saying I want her to smoke, certainly. And in the midst of her horrible congestion today, she realized that she now meets the condition for getting her deviated septum fixed, which is that she had to stop smoking first. So she's going to look into that. I'll let you know when her surgery's scheduled, because then you are really going to have to pray for me. She doesn't deal well with that sort of thing, and mommy generally takes the brunt of it, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, so I went to the dermatologist, all is well, but she wants to remove a couple of dark spots -- we're a spotty people -- but I had to reschedule that for January for a variety of reasons. Otherwise, I'm fine. We'll see what the other doctors have to say tomorrow.

It's cold out. I hate the cold, I hate it like poison. The only thing I hate more than cold is wind. And we're experiencing an odd turn of events here, which is that it got winter-cold before all the leaves fell, and so the trucks that pick up all the leaves are done with their schedule for this year. But there are huge piles of leaves in the streets everywhere, and if they don't pick them up before we have a solid snowfall, there are going to be accidents everywhere, and the first accidents are going to be when the snowplows run into those frozen leaf mountains. R's train keeps coming in late every night because there are leaves on the tracks and they have to slow down! How weird is that?

I'm looking forward to going on the new eating plan, too. I find that eating a stable diet is good for the digestion, if you get my drift. Of course, I'm already trying to work on that, but I like the idea of someone giving me each meal to eat. I'm lazy that way.
