Turtles, Cars , Food, Books

Scary news stuff about the economy. To be honest I don't like to listen to the news or watch it. That's me, turtle with my head in the shell. I work all day with patients getting cancer and pneumonia and having car accidents. I can only take so much , ya know.

That being said, we got pre-approved for a car loan with a low , low interest rate through the credit union. My little boost to the economy. Things are breaking on my dying Honda, so I had to get my butt in gear. I'm using a car shopping business through the credit union which means I go to the dealer and deal with a rep who is going to dicker with the car shopping business , not me, to get the sale / get me the best price. I've got appointments to go test drive some cars today. Yep, peeling my behind out of the sofa cushions and my eyes from the Kindle.

Knees are sore. The Cortisone is working but not like it did last time. I'm going to go to the gym and pedal the recumbent bike to see what that does. They have one bike on the main level and the rest of the bikes are up a flight of stairs. Stairs are what did the knees in that night after the Go Go's concert, so I hope I can get that one bike on the main level. Maybe I'll buy a trainer to put my own bike Flo on it and just "ride" at home. I'm starting Physical therapy Wednesday.

On the calorie front, I have been making mostly great choices but yesterday slipped up and ate more grease and carb than is helpful. One meal out of many in a week , it makes me feel crappy but it was one meal. I'm considering doing a food delivery system again just to put some tight controls around calorie intake while I can't exercise at my old 4-7 hour a week regimen. It takes some of the spontaneity out of the equation which lately has been my main issue. My husband is wanting to do it too. I'm hoping doing it together will be good. Here we go again.

I'm reading this book.

It is awesome.

I just read the other book. It was awesome. Wow. wow.

Latez..enjoy your day.
