glamping for me

After a week at work 

With no AC and no fridge

I think I’m not going to love

Caravan Life. Maybe a visit. 

But not a sustainable choice for me. 

Maybe - if I were 30? 

It’s so appealing though-

The freedom, etc. 

this pic is from a Facebook group

Of women who live in their cars. 

It’s a growing trend. 

With rent at $1,200 a month-

Why the heck not? 

Alas- we romanticize things 

And buy the lies. Like

“Once I lose my weight, I’ll be able to XYZ”

Which I suppose we have to say

To convince ourselves to even get started. 

I could rename my blog

CAR TRIPPER

😛

But I kinda like sleeping in a bed. 

And having Covefe 

Without having to build a fire. 

Gotta know your limitations. 

This is mine. 😛

week two in the bag

This post could also be called

Life Without Wine. 

So much better sleep. 

Hitting all the goals 

Making an effort to stand more. 

Hot damn! 

It’s working! 

When I was sick, my HRV was 8 ms

Sleep sleep sleep

Nothing is more important than sleep.

Nothing else works of sleep is not there. 

Quality and quantity. 

New pajamas to celebrate 

New routines all around. 

Well- perhaps I won’t die this year after all. 

It was my very first (?) cardiac event. 

But I must say- when I was morbidly obese

I couldn’t climb stairs or walk 

without being out of breath. 

I had hip pain - and A Fib-

and was just a mess. 

That’s why it’s morbid. 

It fucking kills you. 

But first, it wears you down for several years. 

ptsd

I need to break free 

Just for a Staycation 

Just for a week. 

Cute solar floating pool lights. 

I’ve been doing Covid since 

2 Januarys ago. 

I am ready for a break. 

Colorado was canceled 

Again. Sooooo

Every week there is a shooting

In my part of town. 

And gunshots many nights. 

Especially on July 4th weekend. 

I always promise myself 

A nice get away. 

This year- I’m going through with it! 

So I don’t have to have wine to calm down. 

2 months no wine. No Advil. 

Fun in the sun. 

Fun in the pool. 

Sleep late. 

No housemate’s alarm going off

On the only chance I get 

To catch up on sleep. No comment. 

Leave the rats to the races for a while. 

Still working, but maybe closer

 to the job site. 

Freshman Food

No fridge at work. 

Same ole same ole. 

Dance with the once who bring ya! 

I’ve always had this as a back up. 

For 13 years now! 

Labs today. 

6 years ago my life changed forever 

In 1 second flat. Dogs. Fucking dogs. 

I thought I would be farther along. 

Living on an island maybe

Eating lobster and crab every day. 

And here I sit. 

With my bum leg - in a castle in a cloud. 

Ah well. 

I did a CBC, CMP, iron panel,

NMR - the new VAP 

Feratin - the new LDL

HA1C and CRP. 

This company is owned by a Keto group. 

So they cut out the middle man. 

All these standard online tests 

were $250 at Direct Labs. 

With Own Your Labs- about $150. 

Can’t beat that. 

After Covid - all the bets are off. 

Except one:

Don’t bet against me! 

I’m beginning to see there’s more to it 

Than maintaining weight. 

Which- I have done (+/- 15 pounds)

With a broken leg! 

And near fatal anemia! 

Bragadocious me. Lol. 

I’ll see myself out.
