First blog post. New year, new thoughts, new goals.

My first goal of the year is to rid my life of things that no longer work for me. Whether this is a family member, a "friend" or just physical things. Out it goes. I've started purging a few things in the apartment. I have a lot more to go.

My second goal is to lose the 15 pounds I gained last year. I've been stress eating. Usually around 3pm I want a cupcake, cookies or something sweet. I found I ate an eclair and 2 buttercream iced cookies from Wegman's in a single day. I don't want to think about the calories in that. Or there were the days of the Chipotle burrito, which I found has a whopping 20 points! That being said, I'm back doing Weight Watchers. Trying to be good. I need to find low point, filling snacks. The grapefruit didn't cut it.. :(

Nextly, I'm very worried about Wacky. He was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis back in October. Since then he still hasn't completely gone into remission. He's still on prednisone. They've added 6-MP on top of the Asacol, prednisone, Prilosec, Folic Acid, Vit. D, Multivitamin and Iron. He's still bleeding. We start the 6-mp tonight.

My dad is still in rehab. I'm not sure where he is or how he's doing. I don't have the bandwidth to deal with it. Last I knew they never expect him to get movement. So I broke down and called my grandmonster, he's not any better. Still on the respirator, very little movement in the left arm, no other movement anywhere. They think they will get him off the respirator but they don't know when.

I need a beach vacation, with mai tais and my cabana boy.
