It has been a busy week--2 different yoga classes--an exercise
class--a visit to the first gay and lesbian senior day care center in the
USA--visits to my urologist and gaestronologist in one day--eating out a few
days--going to the movies--changing my medicine and tranquillizer
routine--'negotiating' to borrow a neighbor's car and her being called away on
an emergency--plus doing the normal every day things one does I was ready to
take it easy today and I did!!
Sat at the point and read a couple of newspapers, took a few
pictures of the flowers around Gateway and was successful in being able to
borrow the neighbor's car so I could give the Mended Hearts group another chance
after my walking away with such a negative feeling last time. The car is a 1989
Buick and I am hoping it will get me there and back because it doesn't look in
too good a shape. :O)
I will go to the meeting tomorrow and during the 'rap' hour I
plan to tell them how unwelcome I felt--that for a support group I didn't
see/feel any support--there was no follow up for the new person--nothing about
membership and/or joining--no reminder sent out about monthly meeting--all
things that most groups do as part of their routine--I really want to know if
that is how they conduct their chapter or was last month just an exception,
unorganized and non-caring.
Talking about 'shape'--see remark about car above--I have let my
shape go the past two months--for whatever reason I have been living on junk
food, eating a half a gallon of ice cream and a box of cookies at a sitting and
avoiding healthier food--consequently I have gained 12 pounds--I suppose I could
blame the not smoking and the operation but I know that's not it SO, tomorrow,
Sunday, not Monday, back on my diet and my food diary!!!
I did have three good, at least better, days the past three
days--I now take only my vitamins and blood thinner medicine in the morning--NO
tranquillizers during the day, only at night before I go to sleep and my other
medicines in the evening around 7--seems to keep my body and mind more alert and
I feel less like a zombie during the day--so far no anxiety attacks though did
come close to one yesterday--still having trouble with the ears but less than
before.
Today has been a good day though I still get that sleepy feeling
around 4 and am unable to take a nap--I could take a 1/4 of a tranquillizer but
don't want to get into that habit--hopefully, one afternoon I'll be able to take
a nap--not that I want to make that a daily thing--just want to know I can do it
if I want to.
Okay, have to go finish off the ice cream and left over
cookies!!! LOL
Go easy on the ice cream Dude!
