maybe...finally...past it

I think maybe, finally, I'm getting past being sick. I'm not going to feel well, completely, until this spring, when the weather warms up (then the stupid allergies will kick in). But I got a lot of sleep this weekend: came home Friday night, went to bed at 7, and didn't wake up until 5:45 Saturday morning. I took a nap yesterday and one today, and feel better. The sinuses are still bothering me, but there's stuff I can take for that.

Now...to keep myself healthy. I mostly have the eating better thing down; since I've started eating a mostly vegetarian diet I don't think I've ever eaten healthier. I've felt pretty good since starting that, too, which tells me I should stick with it. But I think I need to cut back on some things. Less sugar (yes, that was my sad face you just saw), less caffeine, and more of what I'm eating now. It helps that I'm not a picky eater. We cook a lot, and that's something I like...I know what's in it that way. Like tonight...I made a loaf of bread in the breadmaker. The whole house smells like fresh bread now. I know what's in it: a handful of ingredients, mixed together in the breadmaker for four and a half hours, and baked. Maybe that's what I need to do more of: make food with just a few ingredients that I know is good for me. Gotta take the vitamins too, and get some exercise. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical yesterday morning for the first time in a while. It felt good.

Not a whole lot happening here. Scott's truck is being fixed. We have no idea how long that's going to take or anything. I just hope when it comes back it's in as good of condition as it was before the wreck. Clyde is his typical spoiled, happy self. We went for a car ride yesterday. He's taken to snuggling with me at night; for a small dog (he's a Jack Russell terrier mix) he takes up a lot of room. But I don't mind.

It's time to rest and relax for the remainder of the evening. Work is done, laundry is done, dishes are (mostly) done, shopping is done, bread is baked, and football is watched. I'm exhausted.
