Hi Ladybugs....the week has flown by, once again....Between helping DD move to her new "digs" and the other stuff going on, I haven't had much of a chance to be on-line. 


Yesterday I had blood work done and hurray---my cholesterol is low (even lower than last time) and my blood sugar is lower,too. DOING THE HAPPY DANCE!!! :)  


I owe it to a few changes I've made in my diet...1) changing to whole wheat pasta 2) drinking my favorite soft drink  (Diet Pepsi) only on weekends, JUST WATER THE REST OF THE WEEK 3) only having ice cream a few times a week, instead of every night and switching to Edy's Slow Churned, which is lower in fat and calories.  I actually eat the Edy's Yogurt, DH eats the Edy's Vanilla ice cream. So...that's my story.


Bad news:  We have a funeral to attend today. :(


Good news:  Tomorrow we're going to a wedding....DH's longtime secretary's 43 yr. old daughter is getting married for the first time!!! Hey, there's hope for my DD!!! LOL


It's HOT, HOT, HOT here..but I'm not complaining...


Hope you have a good day.

Kudos on the good labs. My bloodwork was good last month, but my BP has been way too high. I attribute it to the work going on around the house - some days it was non-stop, pushing myself all the time. Went to clinic for a BP check on Thursday before adding a new med the MD wants me to try. BP was so high they wouldn't let me leave until it came down. Picked up the new RX on way home. With no instructions on WHEN to take the new pill, I took it with other BP med at breakfast, then headed out to library in town on my bike. By the time I was ready to come back, I was woozy & had to call DH to come pick my up. Thankful he still has an old station wagon to load the bike into. Now just feel wiped out, so am staying in out of the heat. Think I'll take that med at bed time.

Quiet weekend here and that's just fine w/me. It will be near 90 & very humid, so I'll do my outdoor stuff early in the days. Once cool thing about the new driveway is that I now have a better place to grill. The old spot near the back door was in the late afternoon sun. New spot is in the shade. Going to marinate a steak & pop it on the grill tonight.

Yes, she moved shortly after she was burglarized, but it was a Winter Rental.

Good for you on your numbers, Shari. Sounds like you're doing all the right things. I hope your DD likes her new place and doesn't need to move again for awhile. That is a job!--Pat
