Jan. 27th, 2014 03:11 pmI headed out to see my doctor this morning. It was miserably cold out, so waiting for the bus was no fun. (Of course, when is it ever?) Very few people had cleared the snow off their sidewalks, so walking was a little challenging. Scott put out snow melt on the front walk. That meant the snow was kind of slushy, and I expect it will freeze solid as it gets colder later today.
The appointment was fine except that my doctor wants me to diet to lose weight. To be honest, I'm not at all sure where I can cut calories. The main luxury, calorie wise, is my morning coffee, and I kind of need that. I can't think of another way to get the caffeine I'm dependent on. My doctor suggested that I see a nutritionist, and I was supposed to set that up when I checked out, but the secretary didn't mention it, and I didn't think of it. I was too focused on getting to the lab for my blood work.
I went in fasting so that I could do the fasting blood sugar and cholesterol/lipid tests. I asked for a check on my thyroid because I've been having cold flashes.
After I had the blood drawn, I went to Totoro and had a chicken teriyaki bento and a Pepsi (I'd missed my morning coffee and wanted some caffeine). From there, I walked down to the central bus station. I stopped along the way to buy stamps, but the machine in the lobby of the post office was out of stamps, and I couldn't afford the time to wait in line. Scott will have to pick up stamps later.
One of Cordelia's classmates is coming over after school because her mother couldn't be home right after school. I expect the girls will do homework and read. This girl occasionally comes over before school when her parents have early meetings, and she and Cordelia simply don't interact with each other. I'm not sure how much of it is them not particularly being friends and how much of it is them both being too reserved to start anything.
Tomorrow is a professional development day for the teachers, so there's no school (it's supposed to be really cold again, so there might not have been school anyway). Assuming nobody's sick, I'll once again have three kids in the house. I wish the girls were more willing to play with the seven year old boy. I'd like the chance to do my exercise programs, and I won't get that if he's busy with the Wii all day.
