I’m just going to keep track of the calories and the types of food I eat. I figure if I keep the intake around 900 calories a day, I’ll be fine. I’m too sedentary for more than that.

The wind is blowing about 26 mph and it’s 88 degrees. My allergies are killing me, and I think this is going to be one of the worst summers I’ve ever spent here...and this makes #36. The bottom is dropping out of the barometer, and I may have to take a third pain pill before I’m feeling better. Golly, between the pain pills and Benedryl, I’m feeling pretty goofy.

This morning, I finally turned the fan on in the bedroom and Sparkle is not a happy camper. It will be on now until probably October, so she should be very used to it by then!

The new pain pills the doctor gave me are not going to work for me, I don’t think. They are extended release, and I’m supposed to take one every 12 hours. The pain comes back within six hours, and I’m afraid to take more, as I don’t want to OD, so I will email the doctor as soon as I am sure this isn’t a temporary thing. I can’t sleep if I take one before I go to bed, so the 12-hour thing isn’t good.

Although I hadn’t planned on it, I managed to get a few little “busy” jobs done today, and tomorrow I will try to tackle the floors, at least dusting the tile and vacuuming the rug. Mopping is another thing....

My eyes are swollen and itchy, and I may have to use a cold compress on them. *whine*
