That it was and still is. A couple of weeks ago I thought that I would make a trip to the doc's because I just did not feel any zip anymore and thought that my Thyroid level may have been low.
I tell you, doctors and nurses make the worst patients ever and I am no different. First she asked if I had made my mammogram appointment. No. So no sooner than when I arrived home, they called me to see when I could come. Man! Dr. Markegard is quick! There's no mess'in around with her. Next when I told her how I was feeling, she asked if I was exercising. Even though I joined a gym, it just petered out. Then she asked if I was taking any vitamin D. That's when it hit. DUH! After 50 years in California where one never needs to take vitamin D, I totally forgot about it. Therefore I had to pay a doctor $20.00 in order for her to tell me that I was depressed. She did the blood levels and the Thyroid was fine but the vitamin D was super low. It is supposed to be 30 or above and my count was 14. Now wonder I was feeling down in the dumps and that is not to mention all of the grayness we have been having lately which is unusual.
Since then, I had the mammogram done and it came back normal and I have been taking the vitamin D and feeling 200% better than before. So now I am back on my exercising.
Last week Mimi was just plain ornery and sassy and so "Mean Mom" came for a visit. Mimi really dispises "Mean Mom" and came to the conclusion that Nice Mimi = Nice Mom, so she has been ever sooooo sweet since then.
These past couple of days we have been quite busy and so she really has not had much playdate time. This morning she had her swimming lessons, then it was on to Ms Celia's for piano lessons with a short stop at McDonald's for a 15minute playtime on the playset. When the piano lessons was over, we went to Costco for a little grocery shopping and lunch. We had just a couple of hours at home before it was time for gymnastic practice. Her summer practice is a little longer now, so while she was at practice, I took Butch over to Lake Wilderness and we took one long, Long, LONG walk around the lake. I was not about to let this sunshine that we are having go to waste. It was absolutely gorgeous outside. You could see Mount Rainier atop all of the trees. I absolutely love where we live if only we had some good places to eat and I wouldn't have to cook all of the time.
