Quick and Dirty

I had a tooth repaired today. My mouth is still numb. I think I'm done with the dentist until February and my next cleaning. Yea.

My leg still hurts, but I can stretch it out a little more now. Saw my crush this morning. I have a hard time looking right at him now, because I think he's going to figure out I have a crush on him. And I would be embarrassed beyond any embarrassment I have ever felt in life to this point. I would probably sink right into the floor—never to be seen again.

I wish I could afford a full-time personal trainer—not having the aerobics class anymore makes so hard to figure out what to do everyday.

My mouth is still numb. It's driving me crazy.

The vice-presidential debate is tonight. This should be a hoot. Palin will be rambling on and on, and God knows what's going to come out of Biden's mouth. Should make for some interesting TV though.

I don't have much else to say at the time.

I Feel More Present

I finally got my tooth fixed yesterday. It is so much nicer without that sharp-edged tooth. Anyway, my face was numb for close to five hours. Why is it that the numbing seems to get number after you leave the dentist's office? And my breath had that wonderful I've-just-been-to-the-dentist's-office aroma. Gak. That's really hard to get rid of. Today, it feels tender. But not sharp. Yea.

I got some of my meds changed. I feel better already. I got rid of the Lasix altogether and made a switch in my thyroid medication. I now take it like I did a few years ago. The muscle cramps have subsided. I feel a little more focused (not much, just a little). I guess it's that I feel more lucid. I feel more present. I haven't felt this well in a while. 

I did 45 minutes on the treadmill and 25 minutes on the bike today. If nothing else, my endurance is remarkable. I'm back to eating tons of fruit. I just love it. 

OK. i don't know what else to say.

Bugging the Snot out Me

I went back to the elliptical this morning. I noticed that it was much more difficult after not having done it for a while. I also increased the intensity a bit. And that made it harder, too. I'm feeling better today, despite waking up a little on the rough side. 

Fall seems to be setting in around here. A funny thing happens in the fall in Morgantown. I noticed it at the gym this morning. Everyone starts wearing blue and gold T-shirts that identify them as a Mountaineer. I did see one tie-dyed T-shirt that said West Virginia University Mountaineers on the front—which was a little odd because the colors were every other color except blue and gold. But football season will be starting soon. And when it does, this town will be turned upside down. 

One of my fillings came out sometime over the last day or so. Maybe it was this morning. But it's bugging the snot out me—I can't keep my tongue out of it. I just called my dentist. With luck I can get in soon. When it rains it pours. I think I must've swallowed it, too. 

I'll be seeing the nutritionist tomorrow. I had to cancel the Monday meeting because I was so sick. I'll let you know how that goes. I really need help with my diet. It's only thing I can figure that keeping me from losing weight. I know I've got to eating more than I think I am. 

OK. Another busy day.
