Chicken soup?  Yes, chicken soup.  To be more specific, homemade chicken noodle soup, made by me.  Did it make me feel any better?  Nope.  Today has just been one of those days.  I woke up around 9:30 this morning but my body really wanted to sleep more.  It didn't matter.  My mind was wide awake and there was no point in trying to sleep any more.  It was the start of such a "wonderful" day. I got up and put on enough clothes to at least not be embarrassed if someone knocked on the door.  I immediately went to the kitchen and started to make breakfast and unload the dishwasher.  I can multitask so doing both isn't a big deal.  It was then that I discovered some of my muscles were complaining about yesterday's activities.  Yesterday, we helped my cousin Jennifer and her hubby Brandon move things back into their house.  Their house sustained quite a bit of damage when the EF-5 tornado came through Harvest, Al on Apr...

Blah Blah Blah!!!  That is exactly what I feel like a lot of people are saying the last few days, especially at work.  We have this huge project going on and it is probably going to last until Christmas.  I am tired of it already.  Nothing like being pulled 20 different directions every day.  At least I have a job and (knocking on wood) it is pretty secure. Nothing like not posting on here for a couple of weeks... but that's life.  I don't remember if I mentioned it in an earlier post but my surgeon told me I need to lose 30-35 pounds before he does the surgery.  I basically had about 7 months to do it.  I'm in the second month and have already lost around 15 pounds.  The cool thing is that I can tell those 15 pounds are gone.  I'm still not where I should be by a long shot... but it is progress.  It is hard to do though.  The thing that has made the biggest difference for me has been cutting out sugar and carbs.  I have...

Dang it... me and this writing thing are just not getting along here recently.  I had really intended to write more often on here.  I really can't explain why I don't seem to have time to write like I want to.  Some nights I sit here and stare at the monitor, almost in a trance.  Other nights I sit and listen to the ham radio bands and stare at the computer monitor... Again, in a trance.  Some nights, I literally fall asleep at the desk.  Of course, there are also the nights spent at various football fields around North Alabama; Mondays and Fridays are game days.  And of course there are the seemingly endless doctor visits.  Doctor visits...  I think I have about worn out my insurance card in the last month.  Let's see... My doctor and nutritionist visits for the bariatric weight loss program, Corey's appointments for knee surgery follow-up, Corey's physical therapy appointments, Corey's visit to the ophthalmologist and subsequent glas...
