update on dad
he's doing well. The PT lady had him walk a whole block outside yesterday, which was kind of stressful, as it's hot hot, but they're working toward getting him to the mailboxes and back, so yay. His very good friend B comes in today, so he'll be very happy for at least 10 days. Yay.

axe grinding and better stuff
everyone has an axe to grind. I have them. Just ask S. I hate the new Olympic swimmer bodysuits. I hate the gymnastics scoring. I loathe the Subway commercials that go on and on about how eating anywhere else makes you a fat slob that needs more deodorant...
Do you think Subway cares?
This is what I have to tell myself. When you start a business, especially a small, grassroots one, you don't expect those people with axes to grind. You tell yourself that you've never done a thing to them, so what's the deal?
Well, hell, Nike's never done a thing to me, and I still hate their swimming unitard.
In better news, I'm on the (modified, as I'm not allergic to wheat) eating plan with S and L and even A, and my sugars are down from averaging 600-800 to 300 ish. In a week and a half, with no meds. I've also lost 6 pounds, and the puppies are halfway to being leash trained, which they were sadly lacking. I still have issues, for sure. I have a lot of unhealthy habits, but you know, I'm getting there.
At least I hope I am. Some days just seem tougher than others.

lord I'm tired
saw my brother off (yes, I drove him to the airport) this morning, at the ass crack of dawn.
Dad is doing really well. He's going to have one heck of a scar, and he tires easily, but he's doing great. Everyone seems kind of surprised, but I always remind the nurses that he didn't have a heart attack, they found his blockage through routine screenings. They ended up doing a quad bypass, not a triple, but he's still recovering nicely. The big thing seems to be his sugars, which have dropped like a hot rock, so he's backing off the diabetes meds for now, until he's eating more.
Me? Well, I'm very hormonal, which means I'm paranoid, whiny, and slow. I had my little breakdown last night while I was supposed to be sleeping, though, and today decided that there's no sense in bitching about all of my shit. It just annoys me and other folks.
My brother was very good with dad, and despite how I bitch, it was good to have him.
I did stop at the big W world for some retail therapy on the way home, and got an ugly pair of shoes that are insanely comfy, a new frying pan and a new electric kettle. This makes me happy, though I might have to go to the Cato later and get cute, cheap clothes

more about Disney
Those of you who know me well know I have terrible vertigo/motion sickness problems. So it was with great trepidation that I approached a theme park, even if by modern standards the rides are baby steps.
I did really well until Space Mountain. Space Mountain, y'all. Oh, the Matterhorn made me make great ughnnonono noises. Splash Mountain made us very wet, as they put me, S and L in the front of the log boat, and man, we made a big splash. Huge. Gravity loves us. we had to buy new clothes.
So, space mountain. Sick. Sicky sick queasy omg sick. The only response was to close my eyes and pray I wasn't going to hurl, while listening to everyone else go ooooh
Grins. Still, I rode every ride that S and L did, and I lived.
The carousel was still my speed ;)

dragging ass
and I have a ton of work to do
ALA went well, Disney was fab, and Tory T has the cutest pitbulls ever, and is very sweet when you fall down and shake her whole house because you're a gigantic dork
bruises for all!
I'll write more about my harrowing Disney fun when I have time
hugs!

off to ALA
at the butt crack of dawn tomorrow
Apple fritters make me 10 years old again, going to Food World, where there was a kid's discount card. We would get free cookies, and dad would get an apple fritter the size of his head. Mom's think was always chocolate covered doughnuts or cake ones.
I'm getting tired. Need a break.
ALA ought to be exhausting but cool
