Medicines

Ok, here it is. I have been lazy for over a week, maybe two. I couldn't figure out why. I thought it was because I was out of coffee. I drink it in the morning and again for a pick-me up in the afternoon. I ran out and I didn't want to walk to the Merecodona to get some Spanish coffee. For the record I still haven't walked there. I am using some canned stuff now that I had bought at the commissary because I am lazy. Then it hit me. Like a ton of bricks. I am falling asleep everywhere. And when I am not sleeping exactly, I just rest laying there like a big blob. I then realized what I had been lacking. I have a thyroid problem. I call it quazimoto but it's like Herescimo or something like that. I am hypothyroidism. And the type I have it makes my thyroid gland look as if I have a cyst and a goiter but there are none present and at any given moment it can stop working and I will be in big trouble.

With the coffee in the mornings I usually take my medicine. And well, since I haven't had coffee.... well you get the picture. So, today, I have a cup of coffee, may not be Spanish but none the less it's coffee. I have my first cup now here at 2:20 pm. I am ashamed to say that I haven't eaten yet today either. I am not really hungry. And the only good thing is is that I have taken my medicine. So, I imagine that by the time I go to Paris on Monday I shall be feeling a lot better and have energy to spare.

As far as me eating correctly that has been a challeng as well. I found myself not wanting to eat but when I was over hungry I was going for things I could grab. Not eating too much but just not counting those points. The only "bravo" that I have had this week is when my lovely landlord came over the other day he brought me this cake. Huge chocolate pudding type of cake that had marshmallow icing. I didn't even eat one piece. I stood my ground and I felt great for that decision.. I know that I need to make better choices. This is life. You learn as you go. I am never to old to learn anything.
