It's really hot outside. I kept wishing for the rain to go away. And now the sun is out. I got my wish. I think our airconditioning is broken in here also. It's hot in here as well, but much cooler than out there.
I spent the morning waiting for a doctor to come in and see me while wearing nothing but paper. You women know what I am talking about. We do it once a year, right? Right. Well, then the doctor comes in and proceeds to tell me I am getting old and crap. I'm trying not to let it really piss me off. I know I'm nearly 40. But why is it we women get to go to a doctor once a year and get told about it. I'm used to being told how young and healthy I am and that all my "numbers" are good. Now what? I have high BP he says. I tried to blame it on the medicines I have been taking. He says, "Oh that can contribute to it some, but mostly you need to watch your diet, exercise, drink water and blah blah blah." And what is this about caffiene? I can't function with no caffiene. Men don't have to go to a doctor and get told they are old. They just wait until they are sixty or seventy and have a heart attack. THEN the doctor tells them to do this that and the other thing.
I went to the bank this afternoon for my 12 second lunch break. I didn't take a full hour to try and make up for some of the time I missed this morning having all that fun at the doctor's office. So, I'm pulling out of the parking lot right? And there is this huge truck hauling some kind of big equipment on the back of his truck and it's clear he's not going anywhere anytime soon. So I see a few other people taking a "short cut" and going out another way. I get the bright idea to follow and do the same. My poor escort wouldn't make it up that steep hill as easily as the jeep and the four wheel drive vehicles did it. There was a dodge truck right behind me, which meant I could not roll back down the hill and go anohter way. No, I was stuck there. I nearly overheated the poor car going up the hill. I could smell the hot motor even when I got back here.
Ok, since the doctor has been telling me my demise is near, if I don't change my lifestyle, I think I will write out my thoughts on "healthy habits that make you feel good."
1. Exercise. It makes you feel good. Really good. Really it does. Now is the perfect time to start. I was going to start Monday anyway. I just didn't need the doctor telling me to...
2. Eating healthy food. You don't feel so stuffed. You have more energy. You will feel like doing more. Yea right, I'm going to Wendy's for a frosty as soon as I'm off work.
3. Do fun things to get more exercise. Play with the kids. Swim in the pool. Ride bikes. Take walks. Read a book about exercising. Read a book period. Take a nap. Naps are good. Fall asleep watching a good movie.
4. Eat less fried foods. Grill, grill, grill! Yummy! Can I have chips with that?
Ok that is all I know of now!
What do I like that most other people don't?
1. Veggies. I even eat green veggies. You know collards and turnips. If you ever tried mine, you'd like them too.
2. Star Trek. Yes, I'm a trekkie.
3. Outer Limits and the Twilight Zone. Almost any old and cheesy Sci-fi or horror. I love it.
4. I really don't mind going to the dentist as long as nothing has to be pulled out.
5. I like to wear my socks to bed.
6. I like ketchup on almost everything. Even potato chips, eggs, cheese. You name it.
7. I like vanilla ice cream better than any other flavor.
I'm sure there are more.
