Going to take Kona for a nice walk!

Yesterday was good.  Turned 47.  I totally DREAD 50!  And we won't even talk about after that!  But I feel ok today.  I bought myself a Spring green denim jacket (my favorite color) and blouse and capri denim jeans at Dress Barn a few weeks ago in Lancaster when I went shopping with stepmom Shirley and stepsister Lori.  I let Paul and David give them to me for my birthday as well as a couple of new Brighton beads for my necklace and a new pair of sandals.  Yay!  I love to shop. 
We went to Charcoal Pit for dinner.  My favorite!  Think of Arnolds Drive in in Happy Days!  This place started in the 50's as a drive in diner/car hop and hasn't changed much.  Hamburgers and fries are to die for and then hot fudge sundae for dessert!  Yum.  Came home and went for a family walk.  me, David, Paul and Kona.  Paul only lasted 1/2 way and turned around and went home.  But David, Kona and I went up to the High School and back, just over 2 miles. 
Thank God the sun was out for a while today.  We had like 8 straight days of rain, then 1 day of sun, then rain again off and on the last few days.  I cut my 10 mg Lexapro in 1/2 today for the first time.  Hoping to not feel so so tired all of the time.  OMG, 2pm and I feel like I have to take a nap.  It has really affected my work and my productivity.  I just keep yawning and can't focus, like I have been on antihistamines for weeks.  I have a hard time getting up in the morning.  I do feel better after a walk.  So I am  going to take Kona for a walk now.  now I need to get back on track with good eating.  I need to update my miles on here and also in the walking group.  it has been a while. 
Praying for all those affected by the tornadoes.  Even with my job, the devastation is mind blowing. 
Thinking of spending my birthday money on a new Kindle 3 and giving my Kindle 1 to David.  he really wants it and if it helps him read more, would be a good thing.  I am almost done (Chapter 28) with my Summer at Willow Lake book by Susan Wiggs.  Will be the first book I finished (except the Passage by Justin Cronin) since my panic attacks started last year.  Need to get back in the swing again.  I love to read so much!

Happy belated Birthday!!! It seems it was a very good one for you.

Walking is the best exercise and makes a huge difference in how we feel over time.

The family dinner and walk sounds lovely. Your 50\'s place sounds great. Good old fashioned food.
Happy Birthday and many many more.
The Tornados are awful.
Hope taking 1/2 your pill will help you feel better. Take care.

LOL at the gifts you got from Paul and David! I do that to! So glad you are getting your walks done and they help to energize your day.
I just finished Shattered from Kindle...good read. I read Willow Lake and liked that too.
