Possible 'Cure' for what ails you

OK, I feel good now, so here's the prescription:

1. If diabetic, check blood sugar (mine was off)

2. If you haven't taken your meds, do so now (I hadn't)

3. Have something to eat (always helps)

4. Tell your dogs all about it (and your cats, too, if yours will listen. Mine usually manage to vanish in a crisis)

5. Take a nap

6. Kick yourelf for being a butt (if this applies in your case)

7. Try to act like a 'normal' person hereafter

I have done numbers 1-6 and am working on number 7

Thanks for the kind messages, they were appreciated!

I'm glad you figured out how to get "back on track". I don't think any of us are very interested in "normal" around here. We just want people as they are.

My Mom was in a nursing home for 13 years with Alzheimer's. When I got to feeling down, I would visit her and then, I would consider myself pretty darn lucky I did not deal with what most of those people were dealing with. It helps to keep things in perspective and to keep a positive attitude. Good for you. Prayers and hugs.

I especially like your #4 and #5. My dog listens attentively whenever I speak to her. She's my best "bud". And naps always help. I hurt so badly when I'm either standing or sitting. Lying down is always good.

Great to have you feeling better! Scratch 7 on the list!
I think the "they" that decided what normal is are the weird ones!
Love and hugs!

Re: what is normal? I meant act like I normally do....which you understand, has nothing to do with what 'normal' people would consider 'normal' behavior..not that I actually know any 'normal' people..I just have been told I'm NOT 'normal'. whatever it is..What was the question again???

    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...
