Stupid New York Times

I am unable to read any of their articles online right now. They want me to pay for a subscription to read more. I must have gone over the limit. But it's stupid; it's keeping me from reading anything; wouldn't they want the reader? I guess money is more important. I never realized how many of their articles I click on to read (at least in part); it's a real hindrance to be prevented from doing so. I hope come October, I'll be able to read more.

Nostalgia!

Aww, my mom let me know to look online: our old house is on the market. Why does it have to be so expensive? I'd love for my mom to be able to buy it again! The site has 25 pictures; you had to create an account to see all of them; but you're able to create a b.s. account, and it still lets you in. They made the inside so hideous though! It's ALLLLL white! Yuck! It looked much better when we lived in it, even if my mom did paint it like an Easter egg! that's what Jenny used to say anyway, because it was a yellow house with a red door, and my mom painted the inside plum with plum carpet. Believe it or not! But the backyard looks nice, and the front looks nice. house

Physical

I went for my physical today. We'll see how the blood test comes back; I hope it's all okay. Today was pretty uneventful except that she wanted to test me for HIV (Huh?), Hepatitis (Huh?), my liver, and then for normal stuff like Vitamin D, diabetes, etc. She also noticed what she thought was a cyst near my liver; she didn't seem worried about it; she just said it was keeping her from really feeling my liver. She also mentioned considering taking a sleep apnea test...that might be causing my lack of energy during the day. I don't think I'm going to take it yet, but I'll consider it. I don't want to sleep with one of those creepy crazy masks. I guess if it help though, it would be worth it, but neither she nor I was convinced that I have sleep apnea, so, it's just in the thinking phase. Last time I had blood test, the sugar levels were getting close to diabetes, so I'm nervous about that too. Oh, and my blood pressure on the blood pressure medication was better, but the lower number is still really high. I think today it was 124/98, something like that. It used to be the top number that was high. I'm not sure how medication knows which number to target, or maybe it just lowers both. So, she'll probably raise my dose of medication for that. Oh, and she wants me to go for my mammogram: I haven't gone in two years; I'm putting it off. Anyway...Don't I sound old?! ugh! Now I want a drink! Maybe I'll have a sensible glass of wine. Oh, and I have to wash the dishes, which I REALLY don't feel like doing! Can we say "procrastination"??

YAY!

I lost six pounds! that's after having gained weight, but still. The hard part is continuing. I've hardly been eating. That's not the way to do it, but I was sick. and my old swimsuit still doesn't fit. Grr. But still, I'm happy with my progress.

dream

Fruta Ladonga! That's the phrase that was in my dream two nights ago that means "developed woman." I love that phrase: and you say it almost like Klingon, like, fruta laDONGA!!
