Escape from reality

I'm in escape-mode lately. Every chance I get, I'm grabbing a book and devouring it. First it was Terry Brooks "Landover" series, now it's Harry Potter books 4 & 5. (Didn't feel like reading the first 3 since most of that was pretty memorable, esp with the movies and such.) Finished book 4 in less than 3 days. Began book 5 yesterday and am nearly 1/3 through it. *sigh* I think I'm just escaping. Escaping I think, mostly from my health. I need to make some changes, mostly in diet. I need to stop with the sugar and wheat but just can't seem to do it. Maybe I'll take one at a time. I know Erica will support me and help me with that, but it's just a very hard thing to do. But I have to give it all up for at least 3 months so I get my system back on track. Maybe, maybe if I worked out a plan with that Dr. guy... I want a plan of execution so I know this isn't not gonna work. I did this once in January (gave up all sugar, wheat, chicken, mushrooms, some fruit, corn, nightshade plants...etc.) and went really strict. Damn that was hard. Basically, all I'll be able to eat is meat and veggies. Not even potatos I think. I'm avoiding this. I don't wanna do it, even though I know I'll feel much better for it. It just takes a lot to go on this. One thing I have changed is I'm going to the YMCA regularly around 11am when I'm not in therapy. That is at least a good thing.

Otherwise, I do have a house update: We got a call yesterday from our realator, Kelly. I think we're ok on the appraisal. I *hope* There was a bit of a mix-up because of our bank manager. (Stupid git.) But that should hopefully all be rectified. Kelly thought we'd have the paperwork back by the end of next week or the beginning of the last week. *grin* Actually, I'm downplaying my excitement. When I found out that the electrical should be all good, I went giddy. Erica was so cute, jumping up and down. (Of course, the icecream and chocolate helped with that.) *smile* It was a very nice evening.

Days like these...

I wish there were more days like today. My AM was pretty good, including a workout and now Mom, Til & I are going to a bookstore for "research" on grants and such for the facility. Yeah! I like today!
