Where the heck does the time go? Sorry I have been so bad at keeping this blog up to date. Maybe I can blame it on health issues? Oh, I know, I will blame it on menopause, after all, they did in Menopause the Musical! What a great show! I saw it at the Gallo Centre for the Arts in Modesto last week and laughed out loud over and over again. If you ever get the chance, go see it, you won't regret it.
Things have been a little slow lately. I seem to have lost my mojo for just about everything. I haven't wanted to knit, I have been skipping training walks, just nothing seems to pique my interest. I can't remember if I told you that the weight seemed to be coming off extra easy this time around... While it should have been cause for rejoicing, I worried that it was too easy this time so I headed for the doctor's office just to double check.
It turns out I have hyperthyroidism which is why the weight loss, although I am sure all the walking and working out helped too. Seems I have Graves Disease, which a couple of my aunts have. The doctor wanted to use radioactive iodine to treat it but I am not big on killing off another part of my body if not absolutely necessary so I told him I would rather use medication. He is open to working with me on that so I am supposed to be researching various programs of attack and getting back to him. Actually, I think I was supposed to be back to him a couple of days ago but ... time flies, right?
The training is going pretty good even though I have skipped a few workouts. I walked 8 miles today in about 2 hrs and 12 minutes. Not bad, considering I didn't have anyone to walk with. I did meet up with some of the Shadowchase Running folks before I started out and, amazingly, some of them were still hanging about chatting when I got back. That made me feel good.
I started a new knitting project a few days ago and this one seems to have my interest back. It's lace, my favorite, so that is probably why. I knew I was in trouble when I didn't feel like going to Stitches West. I also spent over an hour in Imagiknits in San Francisco with a gift certificate in hand and didn't buy anything! I must have been one sick puppy but hopefully that has passed.
Time for sleep, need to get up at midnight and go to work. Hopefully I will be back on here tomorrow to tell you about the prize drawing for those who donate on my fundraising page. Hopefully the darn page will be up tomorrow. It has been down for maintenance all afternoon.
