La La La!
So, today I was able to sleep in and rest up. I have today, tomorrow, and Saturday off. That means I will hopefully get completely better from this cold/flu thing I seem to have gotten. I've worked through this thing and even though I felt like crap, I never called out of work. Yes! I feel good about that. I don't feel lazy. Well, normally I would have called out but I don't want to lose any hours. I even stayed three hours later than I should have at work so I can rack up more $$$. That's what I really need right now so I can get a car by January.
So, tonight I am going to make dinner. Baked Shake 'n' Bake crunchy chicken strips, seasoned potato pieces, and corn on the cob. Plus some bread rolls. I think that will be a good dinner. I'm so hungry right now. I only had one piece of pizza today and a small bowl of ice cream (Mint Chocolate brownie!) for lunch today but now I am ready for some dinner! Woo!
I didn't talk to Israel much today. He's been pretty busy with work and helping coach our old high schools wrestling team. I think that is good for him. It keeps him from being bored and it gives him some sort of happiness.
Plus! Israel is going to come up here in January to spend a week with me for the holidays. It's late but work wont let us see each other around Christmas time. He said we will exchange our presents then. ^_^ I'm so excited to see him! He wants me to go to Florida for a few days too but I don't know if i will have the money or means to go. I want to go so bad but I ma not be able too and I am sure he will understand. Me and him have been getting better and I have been standing up for myself. Plus I feel stronger now by myself and I don't feel like I need him to do everything for me. I just feel more empowered.
So, It's been about two and a half weeks since I've had a flare up! I am hoping to keep this up by eating fewer meals so my bowels aren't always working, eating healthier, and keeping up on my Asacol HD meds and my fish oil supplements. Apparently, fish oil helps keep inflammation down in the intestines. I haven't been using my old hydrocortizone steroids at all! Which is good because those meds can really cause health problems like bone, muscle, and nutrient problems. I just hope I stay in remission for a long long time. ^_^
Well, I hope everyone is doing well. What are your plans for the holidays? Working? Taking time off? I hope everyone gets time off to spend with friends and family. I hope the winter doesn't get to cold and nasty too. I want you all to enjoy it!
Okay, take care my friends. I'm off to make dinner!
