Stuff

So far so good.  I downloaded my pedometer yesterday.  I did over 15,000 steps up at Penn State the other day!  The good news:  2 years ago, walking around that campus I was tired and sore.  I felt nothing but energized and exhilarated on this past Saturday!  Did a 36 minute walk with the dog last night.  Will go for a walk later.  Will try to get to the Y Tues, Wed, Thurs and Friday of this week.  That is my goal.  Time to get serious again.  I think I am beginning to figure out Fitday.com.  Not as bad as I initially thought.  (Thank you JM!)   Paul says the treatment for David is 3-6 weeks at the local hospital and is outpatient.  He gets a bus to/from.  He also gets schooling a few hours but also intense group and one on one therapy.  We also have to go, as parents, twice a week for sessions.  We also filled out 2 letters to the school, 1 requesting an IEP and the other requesting a 504 plan.  Hopefully, something will work out there. Trying all day to think like a hero.  With all of the calls, and work and stuff, I feel good all things considered.  Called a few irate people and apologized with a good heart and believe it or not, they were understanding and accepting.  Will have to work a little harder this week and focus and some OT.  Trying to pick my battles.  But I am still thinking positive after a rough day.  Had a couple of great conversations with my boss.  A couple of crises that came up and Phew!  Still here!  Still smiling. Kona is doing better, Thank God!  Again, counting my blessings!  Eating is good today as well.  Coffee, high fiber oatmeal, a lean cuisine for lunch, water.  Will be eating some leftovers later.  I was SO hungry today though.  Being busy has at least kept me out of the kitchen. Now on to the unbelieveable news:  My wonderful and dear friend called me (after 2 years.)  She was my best friend.  I have missed her terribly and have prayed for her often.  I knew she was going threw some rough times.  I felt so bad that she did not come to me and I felt hurt and blown off.  So THANK GOD!  She finally called me and we had a good cry on the phone.  I guess good friends are that way.  Doesn't matter how long it has been.  But she did give me some very sad news- her mother committed suicide a couple of months ago, so on top of everything else she had been through, I cannot even imagine going throgh that.  She had lost touch with her mom (she has a long history of depression.)  So she feels awful.  Please pray for my friend.  I am so glad she finally reached out to me.  My heart is broken over what she is going through and hopefully I can help her in some way.
