Why Do Things Slip Up On Me?

Dad called me bright and early at eight this morning and said my injection was today.  Luckily, I was already up and going and had just had a hot shower.  It was like a jolt to my system as I wasn’t expecting it. I had to be at Kamath Medical at nine.  It also explains why I was having such a rough afternoon yesterday – not able to concentrate and feeling just plain bad, irritated and agitated.  I drove to the pharmacy to get the injection and then to Kamath Medical were, thankfully, I didn’t have to wait long at all.  My gorgeous nurse, Adia, gave me my shot and I was on my way with a new appointment card.  I dropped the appointment card off to my father and headed home hoping that I will feel better today.  I am waiting for that moment of euphoria I get just a few hours after my injection.  I love feeling abnormal in a good way, thus my struggle with addictions over all these years.

New Diet…

I determinedly started a new diet yesterday.  I have gained twenty pounds since this time last year and all my clothes are tight.  I was aghast when my nurse weighed me during my last visit to get my injection.  Last night, during shopping, I got Milo’s diet tea sweetened with Splenda instead of my usual regular Milo’s sweet tea.  I was drinking four gallons of that sweet tea a week and I hope the diet tea will make a big difference calorie wise.  I also didn’t get any of my breakfast foods which were where a large amount of where my calories ingested come from.  I am just going to forego breakfast for awhile and see how I do. 

Dad and I got caught by Jermaine again last night.  He talked both our heads off.  I remember him saying he swam one hundred laps at the pool yesterday.  There is no way Jermaine swam a hundred laps as big and overweight as he is.

“He’s just like a pest,” my father told me callously with a chuckle as we escaped to go check out.

I chuckled as well.   Jermaine can be pretty aggravating.  He seems to shop on Monday nights like dad and I do. 

I did manage to get batteries for my digital camera.  Usually, I get caught up in food shopping and forget.  My total shopping expenditures were $61 dollars last night since I didn’t buy all my breakfast foods.  For once, my father was worried I didn’t spend enough instead of being elated.

Well, let’s go get some ground chuck browning and get a pot of spaghetti meat sauce simmering.  Lunch is just around the corner.
