8/11/03:
I had a really good weekend overall. I went to Applebee's with my husband Sun eve. We met a bunch of co-workers from his part-time job. I had a cosmopolitin and their's was just okay. I think I like my Friday nite recipe a little better, it had more of a kick to it. I really don't drink that often, if you were to read my diary I kinda sound like a lush. I do enjoy occassional drinking and I go through spurts of trying to be in the party mood and I guess that's what I've been going through for the past few weeks. Probably getting geared up for my long Weekend in San Diego. WooHoo!!! Anyway, it was a decent evening and I was in a good mood when we got home. And it wasn't so late that I was falling asleep. That's always a good thing.
Work was okay as far as Monday's go. I only work every other Monday, so usually the working Monday really sucks for me. But, my supervisor came back from vacation and was happy that myself and my co-worker were able to handle things. So, it was pleasant. And busy.
Medical/Health stuff: I went to my gi doctor this morning. He's sending me to get another CT scan on my abs and he's increasing one of my meds and changing another. I'm glad that at least he's being assertive and trying to get my pain under control, if not actually having a specific diagnosis other than irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Apparently they use that a lot when they can't figure out anything else. Oh well.
Diet stuff: My friend gets so mad at me when I use the *D* word...call it whatever, I still can't quite get myself motivated. Today I had a bagel (3 pts), then I had a tossed salad w/sunflower seeds and mandarin oranges added and ff catalina dressing, mozarella cheese stick and 2 pieces of toast (I use Aunt Hatties wheat or grain and it's 1 point for 2 pieces of bread...). So, that was, uh, around 6 or 7 points...I lost my point slider, how convenient is that...anywoo, I thought I was doing pretty decent. Then I picked up my son from work and we went to Los Betos...I had a beef tostada and I am not sure how many points that is. But, it's got to be better than the huge bean & cheese burros I usually get...so let's say it was 9 points...I was at 19 points. My range is 18-23. I know you know where I'm going with this...I then proceeded to 'blow' it and ate a piece of leftover birthday cake that my mom compelled me to take home after visiting her on Sunday. It was my nephew's birthday cake. I should have just thrown it away when I got home. Oh well.
As far as this webpage is going, I've figured out how to do a few things, like change the color and add an image. I even joined some diaryrings and completed 2 surveys. But, there is a lot I don't know how to do and so I'm spending quite a bit of my online time trying to figure things out...like how to reformat those diaryring links to my liking and how is it that some people have a main page and then they link to the other parts of their diary. I'm also trying to decide if I want to post a picture of myself. And what about those friday five things or mood today symbols and all of that fun sort of stuff that adds to the personality of the page. Oh well. Later.
I'm worried about my son and my daughter.
