Not so good yesterday.....
Nov 21 2008 08:35

I started off yesterday great with a good breakfast and lunch and then seemed to short circuit late yesterday afternoon.  I ate not one but TWO bagels with cream cheese and some candy corn.  Don't know what got into me.  Hopefully today I can get back on track.  I had oatmeal, yogurt and a banana for breakfast.  A little more than normal calorie wise but I am trying to get in all my dairy and fruit daily and had to add some where.  Once I add in my coffee I will have about 525 cals for breakfast alone.

Auntie is moving today!!!  I will have her next door and I am loving it.  She's actually DH's aunt by marriage but she's been in the family since she was 16 so she feels like mine.  She's not too much older than DH so she just fits right in.  She has 2 grown boys who are married with no children so she is just delighted to have small fry next door.  We will see how she feels about that once he discovers that she's there and comes knocking at all hours.  She's bringing her Jack Russells and I am glad.  That gives Jonathon dogs to interact with so that he's used to them.  I want to get him one soon but I am not too sure that he's ready.  He tends to be a little rough with the kittens still.

Gayle's (auntie) mom created quite a stir last night.  It gets dark here so early now!  She had run up to the grocery and our fast food place, Jack's.  She missed the driveway on her return and landed in the ditch.  She wasn't hurt and DH has taken her car to work this morning to make sure that she didn't hurt anything on it mechanically.  A young (20's) guy came up behind her as she did it and he pulled off to help.  A wrecker was going by the other way and he turned around and came back.  By the time the police got here to block traffic we had quite a back up already.  The wrecker pulled her out and he and the young guy made sure that the radiator didn't leak and such, then drove her car back across the road.  They didn't charge her for towing and the police didn't write her up because she wasn't filing a claim and I sure didn't care.  Everybody was just so nice to us and no one was hurt.  THAT'S fortunate!!  The downside is that I stood out there in the cold wind with no coat and I feel really bad this morning.  My head has gross stuff coming out of it again but that probably means that I wasn't well to begin with.  I am going to try to take a really hot soaking bath in a little bit to see if I can loosen the rest of the crud in there.  I don't want to sleep in my recliner any more - I want to stay in my bed!
