Marine World

On Friday, we're going to Six Flags Marine World. Not far from here. It's in Vallejo CA. Maybe an hour or so from home. Use to be closer when we lived in West Sac, jump on the 80 and go. We're about an hour and a half of San Francisco CA. It's usually where we fly in or out of if taking a plane. While Sac airport is definately closer, tickets are cheaper in S.F.

We're only going for the day. We were going to get a room there as well. But since they're only open from 11:00a.m to 6:00p.m. we decided not to.

It's hard to believe this one is only 3 weeks post op. Seems much longer. Am doing well for the most part. Will starting weaning off the Norco's with my last 20ct refill tomorrow. Taking taking Morphine and Norco together helps the pain, but taking 1,200 mgs of Neurontin helps the burn better. As I told my friend earlier, it's really an anti seizure medication, but is commonly used for nerve damage. The set back is that memory loss occurs and one gets a scattered sense of being. Especially at that dosage.

But at least it's not a narcotic.

Won't be able to go on any rides at Marine World, but they have shows too. Will coast on her wheels while the family rides. Am just glad to be there for a little family trip. Wish bubbles was here though. Miss her alot. So will just be this one, Master, oldest daughter and son. Leaving grandson with his dad. He got chuckee cheese a couple of days ago.

The man did okay selling the vessels at the Doin's. Left the rest to consignment.
He got orders for other chapters as well. So that is a good thing.

It's been really hot here the last few days. Already in the 90's. Today is going to be 96 degrees. Ouch! This ones skin can't take that. Take atleast 4-5 showers a day every summer.

After we get back from Marine World, they'll get the back yard ready, take the cyclone dog kennel down that came with the house when we bought it and use it to make a wall at the end of the walk way that leads to the back yard. We have a yard up front also. Actually two. Out front by the drive way and outside our front door. Our front doors are enclosed, not viewable by the street. Guess it could be called a bbq area or similar. The gate being placed will keep the freedum dum lol Um our dog freedom from getting into the back as well as keep the baby safe since we'll be getting a pool. Just a small one. Enough to get wet in.

The weather is so crazy it's going from the 90's this week to 67 on Friday when we go to Six Flags. What a difference. And it may even be cooler there.

This ones diet has gone all to hell. Well not really, the dieting is fine, still doing well, it's just not going well for her. Not burning any calories so not losing. But haven't gained and that was the goal all along. Being confined doesn't help.

Until next time

Time For a Color Change and Other Things

I get bored semi-often with my appearence. I've been brunette, fully blonde, had fuscia colored hair, streaks, red, and so on and so forth. Right now, my hair is dark brunette with light caramel streaks. Frosted, but lightly. Next, I already have the stuff to do it, I'm gonna chunk it. My bangs which are nearly to my chin now, the immediate sides and the top blondish and leaving underneath and the bottom dark.

I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to it. If I don't do it soon, I won't be able to for a couple months because my down time will set it back.

I already watched a movie tonight. Spent time out in the living room with the family for a couple of hours prior, and slept in way too late again. I didn't wake up until 8:00 p.m. I woke because the pain in my legs was getting out of hand and because I didn't want to reach over and take my meds earlier since it would caused me to not go back to sleep, I didn't take them. Finally I didn't have a choice. I woke, took them, and got up.

I'm still eating mostly only veggies and drinking the slim fast shakes. I had 2 bites of general chicken, 2 bites of chow mein and about 5 bites of rice the other night. That's it.

I had a mushroom bowl yesterday sauteed in a tiny bit of butter or margarine, or whatever it was in there. And then a salad with tomato later with a couple table spoons of diet italian and a shake. We're out of oranges, tangerines, banana's etc. Between me and the grandson, we wiped them out.

I give him a quarter to half of whatever I have. I usually peel 2 tangerines though since they're small. Started drinking Crystal light, diluted.

Tomorrow will cook up a cabbage, that's it, nothing added. A little sea salt and pepper on it after it's in my bowl.

I'm probably still not eating right, but I know it's better than it was. I'm trying to eat something small 6 times a day, but it's mentally hard for me. My mind thinks if I eat like that especially when it's easy to go a day or two without eating that I will gain weight.
On the other hand, I know it's true that eating smaller, more often, is better. I just have to keep convincing myself it's okay.

Like today, sleeping in so late, I only ate once. I had broccoli again and added a slice of colby jack to it.

There's an excersise bike simulator thingy I want to get. It's just the pedals. You set it at your feet, sit and pedal.

Maybe that will help me some. I know I will not be able to tolerate it for long, but even 10 minutes at a time, or 5 minutes twice a day will help.

Just keep thinking of things that will help me when it's difficult to excersise at all.

They say blondes have more fun, but brunettes get the job done.

hahahaha, maybe being both is exactly what I need.

Until next time...
