We can do it

Today is the beginning of the launch sequence for the next school year. I have rested and traveled, planned and dreamed, exerted some effort on improving the variety of my end of year Spotify playlist, and spent quality time with Luna, my boys, and the rest of the fam damily.

I also got word that my bad cholesterol numbers tilted the scale and that my sugars are high, too. Was that the brush of something dead upon the back of my neck? I mean, I actually READ Daddy’s autopsy report…is this his way of Gibbs slapping me? My beloved doctor instantly prescribed statin…not sure why…she has been prescribing them for years and I refuse to take them. I trust her more than I do Dr. Google, but the possible side effects are not something I am interested in. I have another blood draw in October, so I am trying another approach to see if I can get the numbers down without the pharms. I am watching carbs…seeking out healthy ones, but mostly I am eating to cleanse the cholesterol…beans, nuts, oats…so many oats…I begin to feel like a horse. I am not hungry at all, but I’ll tell you it is hard to go anywhere that has cooking aromas. I have also added garlic, niacin, and bergamot to my supplement regimen. I am also exercising and doing yoga…and so much water.

I find it sad and amusing that young people don’t listen to older people when they caution them about taking care of their bodies…I didn’t either…ah, well…I can only do what I can do. I am taking it seriously and am hopeful and optimistic. I have too much to do and too many lives to touch to make any kind of time for a blocked artery. What nonsense.
