Darn lungs
Last year I had walking pneumonia and my lungs have never been the same. They feel tight quicker then they ever have in the past, I’m more prone to cough at the smallest tickle and anytime I even start to think that I might be getting sick I feel it in my chest first.
Last week I woke up with a sore throat and my lungs felt heavy. I was determined not to get sick before my long awaited vacation/honeymoon so I used the power of positive thinking to keep myself well. Unfortunately stress weakens the power that positive thinking holds and I got a chest cold over the weekend. It is now Wednesday and I feel like my head is going to pop when I cough, but I hold out hope that just being on vacation will work wonders on me. I really really hope so.

Getting closer
We are getting so close to vacation and our list is getting longer. But we are marking stuff off of it all the time. I better get back to burning CDs. You need a lot of verity for a long road trip.

So I figured out how to change the date as to when this was posted, but since I didn’t on the first one I’m just going to tell you when it was originally posted.

Its done!
The house is so clean you can eat off the floor. Not that you would need to, we have clean plates. Ok, we didn’t clean the bedroom. That will have to wait till our long term house guest moves out. We need his bedroom to move stuff into. When he moved in we had to move a table and some other stuff into our already cramped bedroom. It will be nice to walk around the bed again.
We have some plans for the extra bedroom that we can’t wait to put into place. We plan to set up the few exercise machines we have to aid us in our healthier lifestyle mission. Hopefully everything will go well.
More exciting then setting up a treadmill is our vacation that is right around the corner. Its really our honeymoon. It starts in a couple of days. The days leading up to it are going to go really slowly I think.

In May I tried to start blogging just so that all my far away family and friends could keep up with my slow paced life. I also just wanted to chronicle the good times. It seems so easy to dwell on the bad times. While I was going through my divorce I wrote every day and then when I was feeling weak I’d go back and read some of the stupid things my Ex did or what I was feeling at the time and it really helped. Well now I want to be able to look back in years or heck even months and remember that “one time” and know that there are lots of other “times” to enjoy too.

So here are the first couple of posts that I published. I’m sure there probably is some really cool bloggy way to do this, but I’m just going to copy and paste.

Hi
Hopefully this will be one of many looks into my sometimes crazy mind.
Today Waldo and I are deep cleaning the house. I want to come home from VACATION to a clean house. He felt it was a good idea. So far the bathroom is complete and the kitchen is nearly done. We took a break to eat lunch and he finished setting us the blog for me. I’m going to start on the living room which for me means clipping the cats nails. This is going to be fun.
