yay, productive
Dec. 24th, 2009 07:02 pmToday, for a change, I was productive. For the last few weeks it's been all to easy to curl up and be lazy. I haven't been depressed, just unambitious. But today I managed to swim against the current: did three loads of laundry, two loads of dishes, went and fetched a packed, bought some groceries, gassed up the van, started back in on cleaning records, did a lot of poking around the house getting things cleaned up. I'm quite happy with the accomplishments so far, but want to do more.
I got my lab test results today. Glucose level is 14% lower than it was six weeks ago, even lower than it was a year and a half ago. Cholesterol is a mixed bag: total is now acceptable, triglicerides now acceptable, HDL still not there basically unchanged, LDL improved but not enough, Chol. to HDL ratio better but not good enough, LDL/HDL ratio better but not enough. Not bad really. I've seen improvement in almost every measure and 3 of the significant numbers are actually back within acceptable range. Now if I could just get my knees happy enough to jump back on the treadmill.
Jonathan Winters doing "A Christmas Carol" is coming on. I love listening to this!
