This and that
Posted by Kym under General
I am not too much into blogging lately. I’m thinking of giving it up. Count me in with the multitude of other people who lose the joy to the chore. Actually, for me, it’s just that I have lost anonymity so I don’t feel the freedom to blog the things I want to blog about… It’s such a balance isn’t it?
But life is busy, happy and full.
I had my infusion yesterday. I have scoured the internet about feeling sleepy after an iron infusion and could find nothing. But after I get those infusions, about 4 hours later, my body just wants to sleep. So I did. And then I slept a bunch last night. And I feel mucho better this morning. I’m still not going to run 3x this week…but I am happier that I am feeling more “normal” sooner then I did after the last one.
Yesterday we had the Staff Appreciation planning meeting at my house. We came up with some good ideas on stuff to do for our teachers. I need to spend today going out looking for some cheap baskets to make gift baskets for birthdays.
This morning I am taking Dinara to a podiatrist because she has a planter’s wart. I hope it’s not painful to remove. We’ll see. I remember having one when I was kid and the multiple visits to the doctor to “debride” it with a scalpel. Surely they have come up with something less painful since then? And I’m not sure freezing it is going to be less painful….
Today my goal is to only eat when I am hungry. My sister was here last weekend and I got back into some bad night time eating habits. It’s a slippery slope for me. Because I’m a binger, if I start, it’s hard to stop. I just lose all my presence. And I don’t deal with my feelings, I simply go somewhere else when I eat. So… today is all about eating whatever I want, but only when Im hungry. It’s the presence to check myself “are you really hungry or do you just want to eat to eat?”.

Hope all goes well with Dinara today…I will keep her in my thoughts.

I think that freezing doesn’t hurt as much, but I don’t really know.
I love your blogging - I feel like I get to keep up with things even though I so rarely get to talk with you.

Please don’t give up blogging! It might be true that we have all given up some of the anonymity we had at the beginning, but I think it’s because we are all more secure and able to trust because we “know” people better.
I’m so jealous of your running. I used to run, and then I walked five miles a night, but now my knees have almost completely given out and I do well to walk from the car to the school.
I miss the track, late at night. I could smell the honeysuckle there far longer than even our house in the country.
Your hands get cold? My feet are always cold. I am seldom without socks; it’s quite a scary sight.

It’s so funny…I was losing the blog bug about a year ago, finally dumped it in April - and now here I am, back again. Like everything else in life, I guess it’s cyclical. But, you gotta do what you gotta do.
I’ll keep checking in on you.
