That's what time I was awakened this morning by a thunderstorm. A damn loud thunderstorm! Lots of thunder and lightening.
But as long as I was awake, it was a whole lot easier to get out of bed at 5 and head to the Y. I have been a very bad girl and haven't been there for 12 days. Sure felt good though to hit the pool! I have a date for tomorrow morning, too. Yay!
Random thoughts for today:
Fish. I want fish. I'm hungry for fish. The only fish in my house is fishsticks (no) and canned tuna (no). Think I will stop at the store for some fish on the way home tonight. Wild Sockeye Salmon is "on sale" for just $9.99 a lb. It sounds fantabulous, so I may just have to splurge and get some, but will see what else they have. As much as I love living in North Dakota, good seafood is hard to come by.
Bifocals. Yep, this old fart gets to get bifocals. Went to the eye doctor Monday, it's time. They will be in next week. Oh well, I am getting tired of having to take my glasses off if I want to read anything or look at something up close.
Freckles. At the eye doctor I also learned I have a freckle in my right eye. Freckle? I've never hear of eye freckles! Well, they are real. And those of us with Scandinavian ancestry are more prone to them than other people. Luckily, only a very small percentage turn malignant. On the plus side of this? I got to see a photo of the inside of my eye. Very cool.
Mamma Mia!. Go, just go. It's good. I went Saturday and I'm going to go again. Soon.
Bad feet. Tomorrow I go to the podiatrist (gods, I sound like a 90 yr old woman) for a checkup of my bad feet. I have had plantar fascitis in the past, but cleared it up with orthotics and exercise. I also tore a ligiment in my right foot almost 3 years ago and it still is not 100%. Anyway, at the present time, I am having some issues with my left foot. Don't know what or why, but it hurts. I was going to wait to go to the doc when I had lost 20 lbs, but then I got a card in the mail that it was time for a re-check. So, guess I'll go only having lost 12. I do have to say that since I've started exercising again, it doesn't seem to hurt as often. But if he offers a shot of cortisone, think I may take him up on it. I'd really like to get outside and walk while it is still nice enough to do so!
That's enough of my ramblings for today.

Fish - Ick? Tuna is all I can stomach. A good way to get in your oils, too :P Can't even taste it in all that fishy flavor. Maybe someday you can make me a good piece of fish and change my mind. I'll buy.
Feet - Got some New Balance walking shoes, they have really helped me a lot.
Good job getting your butt up for the gym this morning. The storm woke me up, too, at 6am. That was loud as He-double-el. I rolled over and went back to sleep. hehe
Bifocals will be interesting. Still think you should do the monovision lasik. It cost $1400.00and was a total piece of cake. No bifocals for me, girlie. No reading glasses either! Woot!
Hope your week is super, Cathy. Miss ya and love reading your blog every day, so keep updating it for your addicted readers :) Stalkers. Whatever.
