Ahhh, at one point in my life this was perhaps the most exciting day of the week. Only one day of work left and then two whole days to do whatever I like. Though the whatever I like did have to happen after my weekly household tasks. Now this day slips by with hardly any acknowledgement other than the weekly shopping trip.
Today was a bit different. I got to start the day with my physical, results of the blood test and a nice talk with my new doctor.
First off the physical went very well. She said that everything seemed to be normal and even my blood pressure had gone down a bit. I told her I was getting used to visiting her.
Blood tests were so so. Most were excellent, but that darned cholesterol test was not. I have a high level of the bad cholesterol and so we are going to try and control it with diet and exercise. I dislike the idea of taking a pill and the doctor agrees that trying it my way first is perhaps the best way to go. In six weeks I return for another blood test to see if diet is working. Hopefully the level has dropped a bit.
Other tests will have to wait for results for another 4 to 6 weeks. I am keeping my fingers crossed that those turn out to be as good as these were for the most part.
I didn't save as much as usual shopping this day. Probably because I ended up shopping for things with little to know cholesterol in them. Wow, my favorite yogurt is loaded and milk is as well. I did buy more oatmeal and will be having that for breakfasts and saving the yogurt as desserts. I am upping my veggie and fruit intake and will be trying hard to drink more water.
Tomorrow I will finish off the one chore I did not get completed today and get in the sewing/craft room to get a few things completed and off the floor (or the tops of the cabinets). Then I will move on decluttering on Saturday (though getting things finished will go a long way to decluttering).
Off to have some fruit and water. Then to bed with my book.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
