Lazy Day

What can I say...still sick and coughing all day long.  I am so tired because I am up at night with the cough.  I have Tylenol, Advair, Claritin, Robitussin and still I cough.  I know I need rest because I have been run ragged as the human taxi for my mother and child the last two weeks.  I felt really exhausted right before I finally got sick.

Today has been a lazy day.  I did not go to church so I stayed home. My child made me breakfast and other than that I have not left the sofa.  I have blogged, watched The Godfather trilogy and played with the animals.  We have a cat and a chihuahua.  When I am sick and want to be still here they both come.  The cat snaking out a paw to my shoulder and rubbing against my head and the dog always the jealous one.  Whenever the car comes around there she is. She only weighs 3.5 pounds and she is a full grown dog.  The car clearly outweighs her but she will snarl at the cat in a hot minute.  So animals will not leave me alone today.  At least at this typing they are in separate corners.  The dog is asleep at my feet and the cat is up in the window.

As far as food today, it was not the best as far as low cal.  Breakfast was sliced Treat and an egg with orange juice.  Lunch was pasta salad, greens and chicken breast.  That was not so bad.  In between I had popcorn, a lemon poppyseed muffin and lots and lots of water.

Dinner? I think it will be soup.  I have some Italian wedding soup in the cabinet,.  Fitting as I am watching The Godfather.....well..off to the bathroom.  All the water has to go somewhere.  I am forcing fluids with this cold...trying to keep well hydrated.

Milestones

I just had a birthday on July 29th. I just turned 47. I am okay with the number. I do not feel like that number. I feel like I am still in my 20's. That I believe is a good thing. I got on the scale and I have lost another 3 pounds so all is well. I am heading in the right direction. I had a wonderful homemade cake made by my family. I did have a little piece. It was my birthday afterall. You can have cake on that day. Weight now? 218. I am doing the happy dance.

Thought for the Day

Defining and analyzing humor is a pastime of humorless people.

Robert Benchley

Why is this so true? This reminds me of an incident that happened many years ago when I was in high school. I was watching the tele and some comedy was on. My mother was in the room. I was laughing my head off at the show. It has something to do with the mother of the family doing something silly and all was laughing at her. My mother somehow thought this what not so funny and began to yell at me because I was laughing at the show. She turned it all around in some convoluted way and made it that I was laughing at all mothers of the world by laughing at the show.

She is a humorless woman unless she is laughing at others. That is the only humor she has. When something odd or bad happens to others she laughs at that. Normally noone else is laughing or will see the humor in it. Sad. SO very sad.
