Today is another painful day. I don't know what brings these on....... I wish I did! Maybe it will get better as the day goes on. As of this morning, I am not able to open a bottle of Iced Tea, I had to have Linda do it for me. Is that pathetic or what?

Found a new app and website. It is caloriecount,com.  It counts my calories for the day and has a very large database of items.  I can put it on my phone as well as my Ipad and track my vitamins, calories, fat intake, cholesterol, sodium, etc.  Speaking of sodium....... I can't believe how much I have during the day and I don't even like salt.  Everything has a lot of salt in it.  So my challenge for now is to lower my salt intake.  We shall see.

Bought the Platinum Keurig and hopefully this one will last a while. It was nice being able to have coffee in the A.M. when I first wake. I have been trying tea and flavored coffee at night while I relax after dinner.

Went to the Endocrinoligist and her words were "When are you going to get off those steroids?" They are playing havoc with my weight and my blood pressure and she doesn't like it. Me either!!! Well, another couple of weeks and I will reduce a little more of those awful pills............ even though I am in pain. My rheum doctor says "Take the Naproxen if it helps" My endocr doctor says, " It is not good for your kidneys!! Only take as a last resort" I think I will listen to the endocr doc....... which means you will be hearing me moan and groan all the way from South Florida!!
Cholesterol is down to 192........... whoo whoo. Much better for me!!!!

So it is Monday............ start of a new week, and hopefully I will try some exercise, some modification of food intake, and see how many hours I can sleep at a time!!!!!

Woke this morning and in my daze went to the Keurig to get myself a cup of coffee. No power on the coffeepot. Unplugged it and took it to another outlet. No power. Now I am fully awake and pissed off. I shook it, turned it upside down to see if something wasn't connected, after pouring all the water out of it, of course, I pounded it and last but not least...... I thought I heard myself go ARGGGHHHH!

So, I have started researching on buying a new one. I love them and I just bought 6 boxes of different flavors this week!!! I logged into a number of places to see prices and ran across the reviews for all of the different models. It seems this is a problem with these coffee pots. They don't last long. None of the models..... everyone loves them, but they just don't last long.

Took a few days off of work, thinking I was going to get a lot done! NOT!!! My aches and pains got the best of me and I just didn't do a heck of a lot! I am going to try a new plan. Do something every night when I get home. Anything....even if it is small. Tonight I am going to try to empty out and throw away all the alcohol that has just a few drops in it and then put the rest away. Right now, they are still in a couple of boxes from when we did the tenting of the condo. I have quite a number of bottles that I will never drink and they need to be tossed. Then I will be able to find a place to put the drinkable stuff. Closet, cupboard, we shall see. I should then have 2 empty boxes!! So that is the job for the night!
