Lots happening around here yesterday. I started writing a blog late yesterday afternoon, and just then my friend Paul came in to fix my router and I just ditched the blog. It wasn't great.
Paul brought me a new router, so now Mom and Michael can access the internet from their computers. Both are much more contented now. It's amazing how dependent you get on a computer, and after a while you feel like a limb is missing.
Lola had her third doggy training class yesterday. She did pretty well. I have not been good about working with her enough at home. She is so smart, training her is not that bad, as long as you have treats in your pocket. I just wish we could train her not to "counter cruise." My kitchen counters are now much more clean, but it's amazing how inventive she is about chewing up, for example, cardboard boxes. I guess they smell good.
Now that February is over, I can look back and see what a wasted month it was, for me. I didn't feel good most of the month. I am not 100% certain about what was going on, but it had to do with hormones, I am now convinced. (I thought for weeks it was a virus.) I got to book group early yesterday and spoke to another lady, who is a bit older than me, and was telling her about the mini hot flashes, nausea, feelings of wooziness all the time, etc. She said that's a normal reaction to being post-menopausal, and it's no big deal. So my body, after the hysterectomy last summer, is still adjusting.
The good news is, I have re-trained myself to eat small, frequent snacks, not big heavy meals, I eat something every 2-3 hours, and it really helps.
I was telling her that my best "go to" food for alleviating these feelings is crackers, and she just nodded and says she always has crackers nearby. It's hard to go low-carb, but I am working on whole wheat wheat thins instead of Ritz crackers.
I ordered a calzone yesterday at Mellow Mushroom, because we always eat and chat before talking about the book. I was able to eat about a third of it, only. Brought the rest home to Michael.
So that was it for yesterday - pet training, book group, Paul, and then dinner. Doesn't sound like much but it was a VERY full day.
