We are Here
And we are healthy, and we are together. But
today was really hard. Drama, sickness, and not enough sleep from the night
before. Days like this, I just need to step back at the end of the day and say
"Ok, we ate food from our own land, we are all healthy, we are together, the dog
is walked, the chickens fed, dishes washed, and tomorrow will be a better day."
So that's what I'm doing.
I saw a
new doctor yesterday - he took me off the Class D meds (yay) so that won't be an
issue come September (attempts at baby-making begin then if you haven't been
reading lately :) and upped my other meds a little bit. He knows quite a bit
about AS, was candid with me about my options, and supported the reality that no
baby will be healthy if I'm not eating/sleeping/staying sane so the meds will do
more good then stopping everything and spiraling back down to my malnourished,
housebound 100 lb. self, so yeah, I like him.
And although I can't find my
pedometer currently, we went to the dog-park, where Harri was a bit
growly/roughhousing with two absolutely adorable great danes, and at that point
I had walked 2200 steps - less then I thought. If I find it tomorrow A.M. (car
maybe?) I'll have to work on walking more.... Been reading tonight, but don't
really have the emotional energy to comment - I will be by later this week
though when the storm settles. Everyone have a good night's sleep - that's the
goal around here.
