It's Official!!!

It's official people, I'm old!!!!!!!

I had a check-up the other day. The nurse couldn't believe I was 45 and didn't take any meds on a regular basis, and seemed to be healthy as a horse. All that would soon change :(

The good news is I lost 10 pounds. The bad news is my cholesterol was NOT GOOD according to my Doctor, and she put me on Simvastatin without letting me try to lower it with diet first. She said that wouldn't be enough for me. What? I'm not good with taking Doctors advice, and I'm really not good with taking meds more than a couple of days in a row, so this is going to be bad!!

THEN, she told me I needed two tests: a stress test and some other kind of test to check calcium deposits. I was so happy that I completed the stress test without having to stop. I couldn't have done that if I hadn't been exercising again. But it did just about kill me.

Today I've paid for that treadmill feat! Just turning around threw my back out of wack this morning. No more treadmill for me, give me my Gazelle anyday!!

Anyhoo, I've taken a break from the computer lately, but eBay sales have still been good. We've been enjoying some family time, but Rob says it's time to get back to eBay (can you believe it, he was against it at first!!), so I guess I'll be working again. I have to pay for my new washing machine.

The old one konked, and Rob, my Dad, and Uncle Don tried their best to fix it, but there was no hope. Don said when they were done it was going to be like having a brand new one, haha. That's exactly what it's like!! I can't wait till Wednesday! I'll have those delivery men roll that machine right past the mountain of laundry in the living room and hook that sucker up just in time for Mom to get here and try it out all evening :) (Sorry Mom, but Wednesday is your late night here!!)

We are trying to find some time to go to the River to open our place for the year. Rob wants to take off next week since Sarah is out of work for spring break, but the weather doesn't seem to be promising, so we'll have to see.

Today my girls will be here from North Carolina, so we can't go off and leave them this week! Last year we were all ready for summer by now, but remodeling has to come first right now, and it sure is looking good!!



I did this Daybook yesterday, but didn't get it posted. Ended up having a breakfast date with hubby, and made goulash for dinner since he had to work on the washer!!
