feeling better and enjoying some fun times

I have been really busy lately with taking care of myself. I am on a special diet to manage my health problems. It's basically a very low fat diet of all whole foods. It takes a lot of planning, preparation and clean up. Because when you cook, you dirty a ton of dishes. And I'm cooking sometimes 3 times a day for each meal! I'm going to try to get organized and cook in bulk on the weekend. Then I can freeze stuff and cook less during the week.

I'm also taking a lot of exercise, because even though I know I am sick, I am feeling pretty darn good. I figure that if I have the energy, I should exercise.

My doctor suggested that perhaps I had a gall stone and I passed it. So that might explain why I am doing better now. If I did...the sucker was the size of a golf ball to make me so sick!

I hope that I can just put all that bad stuff behind me, and move forward. The spring is absolutely glorious in Southern California right now. I took my daughter on a long walk and then to the park for an hour. We were having the time of our lives. It's funny how you enjoy the simplest things after an illness.

Tomorrow I am going to the zoo, either in the morning or perhaps in the late afternoon. It should be fun, as usual.

Now I need to go do some dishes again! I'll put on my yellow rubber gloves, crank up some Sweet, and do a Brian Connolly impression (pointing, hand on hip, etc.) I hope to actually get some dishes done too!
