Some Goals Set

 The last couple of weeks I have had bad go of it.  Not feeling well, and of course the only thing talked about is COVID.  I don’t have covid.  I’ve been off work for 2 weeks, I will try to get back the end of next week if I’m feeling better.

Tons of bloodwork, and repeated bloodwork, 3 doctors visits over the phone, 2 more tests in the next 2 weeks. A mittful of pills to take every day and a diet change.  Today I got dressed.  That’s an improvement from PJ’s.

I need to lose 15 lbs.  I need to exercise.  Hard to exercise when your iron is so low your hair is falling out, short of breath all of the time... but I can do a little.

So these goals that I made the title about:

1. Lose 1.5-2 lbs a week until goal weight. 

2.  Build my early retirement fund as high as I can.

    ~ move all extra $$ into separate savings account every payday

    ~ take the lump sum back pay I’m getting with my raise and move into savings.

3.  Start selling off things not being used that I have in the basement and garage.

4.  Keep reading and meditating to help my zen.

That’s more than enough to focus on when I have no energy.

I did make a spinach and feta quiche today and it was delish!  I have picked out 8 new recipes to try in the next couple of weeks.  Almost all of them are from Skinny Taste.  I have her first cookbook, but these are off the website.  They need to be healthy and be very quick prep time as I don’t have the stamina to do a big meal. I have an insta pot that I enjoy using too. 

My kid #3 is getting better in the kitchen and has been a sweet soul to have around when I haven’t been feeling good.  He has made a few meals for all of us, very proud of him.

I’m cautiously optimistic about the raging pandemic.  I think that there is an end in sight. (Or maybe the light ahead is a freight train). 

I haven’t seen any of my friends in so long, it feels like 10 years.  No vacation in over a year.   

Things have got to get better, right?
