Miscellany

I found a nice habit tracker app yesterday. I’m not going to say too much about it, yet, because I’m saving the information for a LCC post. I used the tracker yesterday and had an on-program day for the first time in quite a while.

I hope to get to the gym today. Maybe if I leave at 5:30. When I wait until 6:00, Desmond is up and then I don’t want to go. I’ll say I’m going to go later, but I almost never do.

My surgery date looms ever closer. I am excited, but also starting to be a little nervous. I think that’s probably normal. It is a big change. You have to go from living to eat to eating to live. So it’s not only a lifestyle, but also a mindset shift.

My dad and stepmom are coming up Christmas Eve, and I think my stepmom is probably going to grill me about this decision, and why not medication, and so forth. I am really not looking forward to that.

I can predict exactly what she’ll say about the medication. The nurse told me they don’t do that because there’s so much demand for it, which is completely ridiculous, I grant you, but she’s going to start with her you need to’s. “You need to do this,” and “you need to do that,” and “you need to email the president of the United States so they give you what you want.”

I notice that every morning, lately, it’s hard for me to write posts because my eye turns. I thought it was fatigue, but I wonder if it isn’t something to do with my eyesight. Or my progressives. When I move my phone closer to my face, it seems easier to read and write. May be worth looking into.

I feel like I could go back to sleep for an hour, and I might.
