I’m a bit behind on posting lately, and it’s because school is taking up more time than I’d anticipated thanks to a greatly increased student enrollment. I’ve also gotten involved in more volunteer work and now I’m private tutoring again. Weekends this fall are all booked, each with something different to do. I think my first free weekend is in November! I think my next post needs to be about balance, because I feel like I have none right now.
I also need to schedule an appointment to see my doctor soon, as she wants 3-month labs. I also need to ask her about the terrible edema I’m having in my legs. No matter how much I drink, move, or control my sodium intake, I get horribly swollen legs nearly every day. I can’t wear regular shoes, it’s that bad. It was never this way pre-op, and I moved less, drank less, and ate way more salt!
In the meantime, here’s what I’ve eaten the past two days.

Food choices for September 26, from upper left: scrambled egg with Rudy’s smoked ham slices; honey barbecue chicken and roasted seasoned potatoes; grilled salmon, mixed veggies and a bit of mashed potatoes (I tried to avoid the gravy as much as possible!); multivitamin and calcium supplements x2; chicken taco filling.

I’ll add the captions later when I’m at my computer.
