Lazy

Day Before Yesterday:

The day's activities so far: A shower then a long nap then an errand and a swing through Freddy's drive thru for shared cheese curds and a mini vanilla shake. 

I got in around 1000 steps yesterday, about half of them deliberately, my new walking regimen that has me shuffling slowly back and forth from one end of the house to the other. 

Yesterday:

How are things going around here today? Well,  in case you're wondering about sleep: We were up late, then up in the night, then up again early. So that's how sleep is going. 

We were up early because I had a clinic appointment to make sure that healing is on the right track. It seems to be, so that's good. If only it didn't take almost an hour and a half in the car to get to and home from the clinic.  (They don't do virtual appointments anymore because why would they want to continue something that is so convenient for so many patients? ) I had to renew a couple of scrips as well, so at least that got done. 

We just got home a bit ago and I took some Tylenol and had a slice of Swiss cheese. I had a protein bar on the way home. 

Today:

I seem unable to finish a thought-- or at least a blog entry. Don't know why that is. 

It's early, not quite eight a.m. I'm up to take my morning meds and to eat something.  Dave's sister very kindly sent a box of steaks to aid my recovery and so I've had steak dinners the last two nights.  It's very tasty of course, but somehow a steak dinner doesn't hold me through the night and I end up either eating a midnight snack or waking up very hungry. Last night it was both.  I had some cheese and bread a bit after midnight and woke up just before seven and was very hungry. I have to take meds with food anyway so I had a protein bar and a big glass of soy milk. 

Now that that's taken care of, all I want to do is go back to bed.  I'm trying to be realistic about how much rest I need to heal, but resting as much as I am also feels like I'm just being lazy.
