Saw myself in a full length mirror today... nekkid. The saddle bags on my inner thigh are gone... replaced by a crepey looking skin. I'm not sure if that's an improvement. I suppose I should be grateful that my sagging stomach skin covers a lot of it up?
Dang, I'm really frustrated by all the misinformation about the healthcare bill. There are so many internet rumors and some downright dirty politically motivated lies out there that it's small wonder people get confused and upset! My recommendation? Before you post another rumor or get all upset over something that's supposedly in the bill, go to a .gov website and read the actual bill rather than some Glen Beck wannabe's best guess at what the bill is. Here's a good place to start: http://candicemiller.house.gov/pdf/hr3200.pdf
Couldn't stand the Carol Brady look anymore. Got a hand mirror to see the back of my head and took a scissors to my hair. It works, and it saved me $12. I can live with that.
Got my certification for food handling on Indian lands today... which means I can do day labor at the casinos. That's good, because they pay better for banquet workers than the hotel and the convention center. Hopefully I can get a few days of work in this month.
And I'm going to need that money. I found out that the programs that were helping me with my hospital co-pays no longer exist, and I'm on the hook for over $1000 in co pays from just last month alone. For the record: that's more than my social security check. Health care insurance reform can't come fast enough for me. While they're at it, however, they really need to revamp medicaid and medicare.
My BP today was 90/60 Isn't that kinda low? Could that be why I feel so run down?
Today's doctor visit: A total waste of time. He didn't have any of the test results. Had my flat x-ray today but I'm a little worried, because I can't find any of the actual images on the disk. I don't want to get over there Monday and have another bad disk. Last time I took over a CT scan of my abdomen and found that someone's throat was on the CD instead of my abdomen! I have a very bad feeling about this.
Things are finally settled with the apartment. Friday is move in inspection (don't have a time yet) and they finally settled on which apartment they were going to give me (and I got the downstairs). I'm a little worried with all the BS they were trying to shovel down my throat about what apartments were available and when things were scheduled. I hope I don't have this much trouble dealing with them on other issues, but my Spidey senses are tingling...
Did a belly dance workout yesterday. Still feeling it today. Was hoping it would help with some of the back pain. wrong!
Things are looking up. Now if I can just run out of things to do before I run out of time to do them in, things would be perfect!

I had a crepey skin experience on Tuesday--at WalMart no less! I was buying a handmirror and saw my reflection in it as I was examining it. Oh, my!! It looked like I had a turkey gobbler thing under my chin. I was so upset! I kept looking at it and kind of pushing it up--and all that crepey skin kept falling back down. My husband thought I was being very funny. I was not amused! He says it will tighten up...I dunno...
Sorry about the co-pays. That must have been so discouraging to find out.
I'm just new to your blog, but it seems to me that you are determined to get down that road regardless of the potholes and rocks in your path. Good for you!

ah, I've given up on "the gobbler" I'm not going to pay for a purely cosmetic surgery to repair that. And I have to start embracing my age. I'm never going to have the body of a 20 something again. What I'm trying to do now is learn how to be a beautiful mature woman, instead of a sexy chick.
My BP's been in that range, too, and it scared me a little because it did seem awfully low. Plus, I was getting a little light-headed if I stood too fast.
From my research, that number's pretty consistant with an athlete's BP. And my light-headedness and low-energy seems to have passed over time. Maybe it was just my body getting used to it.
