This is how yucky it is here.....

This was at 10:30 MST this morning. It has been snowing for almost two days straight.

I have not been walking to work because of all the snow and I don't have a good pair of walking boots. In fact the pair I was wearing yesterday have a slight heel, and I walked about a mile or so to my local community health store to pickup some "stuff" and today my quads hurt... what's up with that. I must walk differently when it is slippery and keep my legs tense in case I hit a slippery patch. Freakin snow :)

Betcha you are glad you don't live here.....

I've decided I wasn't going to go hunting with BF this coming weekend. I was to go for 4 days but the wife of the other hunter isn't going and since I truly do hate cold weather, I'd just end up staying in the trailer by myself quite often... not my idea of fun. And the BF hadn't arranged with the EX that he not have his 10 year old son this weekend. Now I absolutely love this young man but 3 out of 4 of my vacation weeks in the summer, he was with us and quite frankly, I didn't want to spend my last 2 days of paid vacation watching a 10yr old while his dad was off hunting, in a trailer where he has not much to do but complain about not having much to do (really who can blame us for staying in the trailer with the weather the way it is). Young man would have gone off hunting with his dad once, got bored (which happens easily) and then would have just stayed with me the whole time. So I'm opting to save my last two days (to make another long weekend sometime) and just stay at home with him. He has so much more stuff to do at our house. We get him 3 out of 4 weekends in each month so he has lots of his own stuff there and we bought a Wii a couple of weeks ago....we have fun with it. I'll get to see Katie retrieve another time.

I'd rather just be home and able to do my own thing than sitting in my trailer with a miserable ten year old. And besides - I now will have the house (after YMan leaves) to myself for the next 10 days...I'll miss him terribly but I also crave this yearly time off/away from each other.

On to other things....

I have this posted on my PC today....

Everyone should check out the http://www.operationbeautiful.com/ website - I think it has a great goal!

I'm posting these on the mirrors here at work today.

Cleansing progress:

I think the cleanse was going well up to last night. I had to add two more things yesterday (hence trip to health store) and I'm not sure they agree with me. OR I really needed the cleanse and they are working the way they are supposed to. I don't want to go into TMI but I was not comfortable last night. Will see what today brings and if the same result, I may have to back off the dosage a bit. I must say though, up to that point (10:30 last night) I was feeling pretty good. A lot less tired and drained. So I'm really hoping this is going to help me feel more like myself again.

So of course my sleep was disturbed by the discomfort and my freakin hip (still) - however this is not the inflamation type pain I experienced in early September, but rather a pressure pain on the side of my hips.

It has been really sore to sleep on it (either side) and only if I have the pillow between my legs does it ease off. But have you ever slept with a pillow between your legs the entire night and expect it to really stay that way? I seem to be "hunting" for it all the time. I purchased a smaller one yesterday afternoon to see if it will work better but I still kept losing it last night :). And I bought a 1.5" memory foam pad for my side of the bed to see if it would ease some of the pressure off. Must say I did not notice much of a difference last night. Well one day at a time......

Enough rambling for today.

I hope everyone has a fantastic day and keep on making good choices.
