Name that "coming of age" movie.
So, the latest.
Teresa and I decided that we needed to change our eating habits...not a diet, so much, but a change in what we eat. More fruits and veggies. Less red meat and simple carbs. Whole grains...yadda, yadda, yadda. Exercise has been little to none and that needs to change as well. I have gained back some of the weight I lost, which is depressing. So...no more refined sugars. I have briefly entertained doing a system detox/purge via a fast, but I want to talk to my doc about it first and I don't think I have the willpower to see it through. A guy I work with just did it and lost about 20 pounds and says he has all of these added health benefits. While I believe him, I'm wondering if those benefits are real or psychologically induced. Definitely requires more research.
Emma, who celebrates the day of her birth tomorrow, has been trying to recover from strep throat for the past 8 days. She's still coughing ALOT and has been stuffy and having a difficult time sleeping through the night because of her cough. Poor thing. She's feeling better, but the recovery is slower than we would like, or even expect. I am making a carrot cake for her birthday tomorrow, without raisins. I don't like raisins much anyway. IMO, they are just dead grapes.
The job is a job. I'm not going to say anymore about it. I live a blessed life in a privileged society, so I have no reason to complain.
I'm trying to get back to playing guitar. I was doing very well at practicing for quite a while, but that went away as I became less motivated about daily activities. If I bring things like that back into my life, they will provide a real outlet for this kind of frustration that I am experiencing. I started again last week, and since all of my finger calluses were gone, it really hurt to play after about 45 minutes. I'm determined, though. I want to be able to play an instrument. Something a little more portable and musical than drums.
