Dog walks, IKEA lamps and Thanksgiving

It's Monday, October 3, 2016.

I want to talk about my weekend.

On Friday, I went for a walk with my dog, Mickey. We didn't get very far because my neck is still sore and I get tired holding my head up. I think we made it four houses and an open space.

On Saturday, I didn't really accomplish much, Jim was out geocaching and I was here sitting in my easy chair and relaxing. I was mostly bored, but I did spend some time trying to figure out how to do this whole "recovery" thing. I downloaded some apps and went through some I had downloaded a few days before and tried to decide which was better for my plans.

On Sunday, we went to IKEA to buy some new lamps. We got a couple of other things, too. We went home and put the lamps together, then headed north to meet my husband's family. It was his brother's birthday. While we were waiting for our food I offered to cook Thanksgiving dinner. We had been going out to eat for Thanksgiving for the last several years. They immediately started a discussion about whether prime rib might be better than the traditional turkey. Personally, I'm just hoping I'm strong enough by then to follow through, whichever they decide.

Today, I went for another walk with Mickey and made it passed a couple more houses. I planned out what the menu would look like for either turkey or prime rib and sent emails to everyone who's supposed to be there to vote on. I also spent far too long on Facebook.

Oh, did I mention I started testing my blood sugars starting last Friday. I'm diabetic, but it's not too bad yet. I know I need to keep track of my sugars, but with the migraines, I just couldn't handle more than one thing at a time. Since I'm not having migraines, I thought it was time to start thinking about my blood sugar again.
