Tales of the Morbidly Obese

Dog Sick

Missed most of the week of work last week.  I was very sick.  I played tennis Saturday at 5pm and by 3pm on Easter I was running a fever and in bed.  I spent the week hacking, sneezing, freezing and worthless.  I finally got some antibiotics, an inhaler and some cough medicine.  I am much, much better.  I tell you the post plastic abs of steel really worked themselves this week with the coughing.  I haven't been down sick like this is 10 years or so.  I am still hacking, but I am human again.

Back to work tomorrow.  How many emails and voice mails will be overflowing you think?  I don't even want to know yet.  Blissful ignorance.

Entered the Peachtree Road Race again this year.  The ING marathon and half was today.  I felt sorry for those poor bastards.  It was only in the 40s this morning.  Spring is not here yet.

Spring break is coming and I am looking forward to some tennis, running and fun.  How about you?  Any great spring break plans?

Running (barely) again

We ran yesterday.  Only 2 miles at a run walk.  My pants kept falling down.  I had these visions of my bare white behind hanging out while we ran down our local road.  It is no fun to get going again, but you do feel better after.

Had my 2.5 year labs done.  My new iron seems to be working.  I am dodging another infusion for now!  I am low on Vitamin D, K and A.  My potassium could use a slight boost as well.  PTH is slightly high.

On a good note, my hair is back(mostly) and growing long again.  My face is a mess- I think the lack of Vitamin A has some bearing on the problem. 

My weight is fairly stable at 140.  Sometimes more, sometimes less. 

Our Total Money Makeover is still going well.   My plastics from Dec. '06 which was the price of cheap new car will be paid off next month I think!

So, I am in trial this week.  More drunks and few potheads.  Need more time with the kids.

Anyone else have baby lust this time of year?  So many new babies around.  I love to hold them, smell them and feel their soft skin.  I would love to have another, but I won't. 

Happy St. Patty's people.  Rock some corned beef and green beer for me.
