Traffic

It's 8:30 AM, and I'm ready for a nap. I left the house a few minutes later than planned this AM (6:05 and I was aiming for 5:50), and I think it may have made a difference to my morning commute. It took me over two hours to get to work this morning, driving through Boston traffic. It was rainy and dark out, and I had the heat on, so it made me sleepy and lethargic.

I thought it was because I needed to eat, but I just had my cereal with a banana, and I'm still ready to put my head down on my desk! I felt this way yesterday too on my way home from work, but once I ate my DELICIOUS dinner, I felt great. There was red meat involved...maybe I need iron.

Today I have my pre-op testing for my gallbladder surgery. I changed the surgery date to 11/5. After Sunday's episode, I can't wait to get rid of the thing, but next week just wasn't working out for many, many reasons.

As I mentioned, my dinner last night was very good. I made so many veggies, they didn't all fit in the wok, and it's a big wok! I had to use two pans to cook it all, but then it cooked down and all fit in the wok. I can't believe how much I absolutely love vegetables now. I was never much of a fan when I used to eat terribly, and now I think they are fabulous.

I'm going to be flat out with work, school and other projects until we leave for Florida. I cannot wait to have a chance to relax and veg out. I rented a house with a pool, so that we can save money on meals, but also so that we can cook healthy meals while we are there. I want to rent bicycles to ride to the beach and back. My friend Jason is looking into that for me. I never would have dreamed of biking around on a vacation in the past.

We're going to stay in Ft. Lauderdale for a week, and then we plan to go to Key West for 3 days. I still need to figure out where we're staying there. I can't wait to go swimming in that aqua agua.
