Today was my birthday!! :)

I rested up for this day all week ...

My Mom sent me a beautiful little brown sundress that happened to fit to a "t." I haven't put make up on in months. I even wore a pair of wedgie heels! And walked very slowly.

A dear friend took me out to lunch to a favorite Greek restaurant of mine and another friend took me out to a yummie Italian dinner. I haven't been out of the house this long in a LONG time. It was so nice to be out in public and to be SERVED food and to be socializing -- like the good old days. I hardly remembered them.

I had one of the best birthdays I have had in YEARS!!

I am completely worn out and will now sleep for a couple of days -- my head is killing me and I am just aching all over. And it was so worth it!!! I will be sleeping with a smile on my face -- for days and days to come.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

    My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
