Seems ok for now

So far so good for my pop. According to my mom, the surgery went well and he's only having some minor post-op issues, one of them being blood sugar issues. He had this before surgery and he controlled it with diet but for some reason they had to give him an insulin shot yesterday (I didn't get the whole scoop on that yet...)

Thanks so much to everyone who offered caring thoughts and prayers - they really DO work!

I had a little scare over the weekend but turns out to be nothing much (according to the gyne) so I am just taking it easy - no exercise, swimming, standing for long periods of time, or *gasp* SEX for a few weeks per Doc's orders, just to be safe. Hahahaha, my hubby is THRILLED about that last proclamation! (NOT!)

So since I'm not exercising I am really being conscious about my dietary intake. I bought lots of fruit, whole-grain bread, skim milk, and other semi-low-cal snacks/foods. That is to say, no Spunky Dunkers for me until I have a means of working off all that sugar and fat!

What else is new? Hmm, I have developed a fondness for Bigelow English Breakfast tea in place of my former near-rabid coffee consumption. For some reason, coffee - even just brewing it - makes me queasy.

As far as my bird-watching, while I do faithfully fill the birdbath and some of the feeders, its been way too hot and unpleasant to spend much time outside. Luckily while taking out some recylcing this morning I was treated to a male American Goldfinch landing a few feet away on my driveway.

Thursday evening kicks off our community's annual "Frontier Days" festival. I usually enjoy walking around the carnival grounds and maybe even take in a ride or two but this year, that ain't gonna happen. Hubby is going to take the kid over there for some of the kiddie rides this weekend and he promises to bring me back a funnel cake. Wait, didn't I just say I was trying to curb the calories? ;)
