Here's a Short Story
Mom and Dad take Son to college 6 hours away.
Mom cries all the way home.
Son calls to make sure Mom and Dad made it home, waking them at midnight.
Mom cries again.
Mom wakes up in the morning with a heavy heart.
Son calls Mom first thing in the morning and talks to her for an hour.
Mom feels better because she knows she's raised a wonderful, caring Son.
Healing Nicely
Tristan's new tattoo is healing nicely. He's had some peeling, and a temporary freak-out when he thought it was peeling completely away, but now that it's almost done peeling, the real beauty of the tattoo is starting to shine through. He'll definitely have to go have it touched up in December when he comes home for Christmas break, but I think all in all, he's pretty happy with it.
Happy enough that he's talking about getting more. Tattoos, that is. He wants Chinese words/symbols such as Love (over his heart), hope, happiness, etc. I told him he could be a walking billboard of inspiration. Hell, instead of majoring in foreign language in college, he could major in inspiration, and sell inspirational products after graduation.
I guess I should be happy. He wants a number of tattoos, but nothing gawdy or satanic like some that I've seen. All are positive and motivating. That's a good thing.
Man, I'm proud of that boy!
Disney Vacation in the Works?
Since I started working from home, I've read a lot about Disney. I have a good friend to thank for that, which brings to mind another post.....
Anyway, she visits Disney every year, twice. It's crazy. She and her family love it. I've never been. Never really had any inkling to.....until now. Reading all her posts about their trips and how much fun they have makes me curious. I mean, I like Cinderella, too.
So, Mike and I have been talking. And talking. And talking some more about maybe taking a vacation to Disney. It's a big maybe at this point, but just the fact that we're talking about it has me really excited.
We've talked about using a Disney vacation planner because we really have no idea what we're doing. You know, you can get their services for free a lot of the time? How cool is that? Saving money anywhere you can, that's how cool that is.
So, I really don't know at this point if the Disney vacation will ever come to light, but I sure hope it does. It would be so much fun for the kids now that they are older. Hell, it would be so much fun for this old kid!
Good News!
The doc called today. I had my 3 month diabetes check up this week, and she called with the results of my blood work. I was expecting the worst, because that's what I do. Surprisingly, she had good news.
"Your numbers look good. Your glucose levels went down since last time. You've lost weight, and the swelling in your joints has gone away. If this keeps up, and you continue to improve, I'll reduce your medication at your next check up in six months."
You can't ask for much more than that, folks! This tells me that my hard work over the last three months has paid off. It wasn't all for nothing. And, it gives me inspiration to keep going. In six months, I want to be thinner. I won't put a number out there on poundage, but I want to be thinner.
So, with a renewed sense of self, I will continue to strive for a healthy body. I will stick to my diet and shoot for a reduction in meds.
Of course, that will be after I eat this sinful brownie tonight to celebrate! Shhhhhh........
