Dear Diary Friday...

I have been super good....I have made it to the gym, so far, three times this week and plan on going tonight, tomorrow, and Sunday. I hope that doing 5 to 7 days at the gym per week, an hour or more an evening, I might be in a bit better shape for the upcoming vacations we have planned. Oh, and I will be starting a new diet, on top of WW and the gym, so hopefully the pounds will fly off.

Weekend has not turned out to be anything. Like I stated, I know I am going to the gym. Other than that, the only thing I have planned is going over to my folks house and getting the garage and the hothouses ready for planting....got to get my Dad into the mood to get seeds in the ground. Oh, I might also go visit my cousin who is back in the hospital. She has a "bleeder" and they pumped 6 pints of blood out last Sunday from her right lung, which then proceeded to collapse. They performed surgery on Tuesday to remove additional blood and blood clots and to get the lung going again. We will see how this progresses for her because, to be honest, this lady has gone through more pain in the last year than ANYONE should ever have to endure in their entire lives. She still has a gigantic opening in her stomach that they will never be able to close....you can actually put your whole hand in it if you really wanted to and you can watch her internal organs moving. She is pretty restricted to her bed, able to get up maybe 3-4 times a day to walk 5 feet to the living room, all the while connected to an oxygen machine and a machine that keeps her stomach cleaned out from any fluids. Good times, don't you think?

The bad news for today, I went to sleep with a horrible headache and a very bad attitude, and I have awakened today with a smaller headache but a much worse attitude. For once in a long time, it has nothing to do with work. In fact, I am really happy I am at work today and it is giving me something to focus on.
