Ho-Hum

It's been an uneventful week. I haven't been posting because I've been feeling sort of "blah" lately. I can't really pinpoint it; just busy and stressed at work, tired, etc. Maybe I am just tired of the winter weather-- it's been nicer here, at least. A couple of days ago it was 77 degrees (don't tell Dan, but I turned the air on briefly when I got home. Even Ben the wonder puppy looked hot!)

I know I've mentioned my patient, Faith, and her boyfriend Chris in previous posts. They were in my office for a check up this week. They INSISTED on giving a donation to the Society, which I was REALLY touched by! (THANKS GUYS!) I promised Chris I would let him pick which mile I'm walking for him-- lucky number 7 maybe? He has a couple more lumbar punctures to go, but is feeling really well. He and Faith are looking forward to the baby's birth-- any day now! Since his hair is starting to come back in, we are all wondering who will have more hair; the baby or daddy!?!

I have been doing well with my diet... um, lifestyle change. I am faithfully eating breakfast and writing down what I eat (most of the time). My biggest problem is protein at breakfast and for snacks. Since I am allergic to nuts, I can't just have a handful of almonds or something for energy in the afternoon. Luckily, I can eat peanut butter, but it's kind of starting to get old. I am trying not to snack when I'm not hungry (REALLY hard this week).

Dan was in Tennessee this week for business. It was strange having the house to myself. Ben kept me company and slept on Dan's side of the bed! I am glad that Dan is home now, it seems like there are less creaks and weird house noises when he's home.
