Good morning. How is everyone doing this morning? Here we are at Daylight Saving Time again and of course, my body is telling me that "something isn't right". Daylight saving time always messes up circadian rhythm for, at least, the first couple of weeks and sometimes it last longer than that. There have been times I'm just getting used to it when it's time to switch back to regular time!!
Anyway, there hasn't been a lot going on here... we've been mired in kitchen remodel and have been keeping our noses to the grindstone!! I've gotten the cabinets painted, the new flooring is installed, the new refrigerator was delivered yesterday. We've been working on getting the new island built... that's a set of 6 cabinets with a huge countertop, right in the middle of everything!! That's pretty much done, except that we ran out of door/drawer pulls and had to order some more, so we moved on to other things. We removed the sink and it's countertop yesterday and I started working on wall covering. I got enough done so we reinstall the sink/countertop. We haven't had a sink in the kitchen for a few days. First we had a waterline break and husband had to fix that; now with the sink/countertop removed, of course, no water. Although it can be done, washing dishes in the bathroom sink is no joy!!
I finally got the medication for my shortness of breath... it's a once/day inhaler. It does help, some, but also dries out my mouth and sinuses horribly bad. I guess that's just something I'll have to deal with.
Friday, I had to go for a CT scan and x-rays on my kidneys, adrenal glands and bladder. We've known for some time now that I have cysts on my kidneys, as well as kidney stones, along with adenomas on my adrenal glands, so they try to keep track of those. I'll see my uro later this week for those results. Later this week, I'll also go get injections in my hands to help with the arthritis pain. All this construction work has been super hard on them.
Our meals have been pretty erratic, at best, though I have been trying to keep up with my walking. I haven't weighed this morning, but when I stepped on the scale on Friday, I was down 4.6 pounds from last week. I don't think that was 4.6 pounds of fat lost... I know I'd been retaining fluid last week, so I think I did lose some fat, but also dropped quite a bit of the fluid. I probably won't weigh today because I've already had coffee, so I'll try for tomorrow and see how it ends up.
Anyway, that's where I am. I hope you've all had a good week and I look forward to hearing about it.
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
