I am in heaven.  My office windows are open, the birds are chirping and the amazing scent of the hyacinths that I just snipped from my flower bed is wafting through the air.  Ahhh.

It’s tough to let my worries and stress bother me when it’s so beautiful out.  

Yesterday, James made me go running.  He actually never  makes me go.  He just tries to encourage.  I am full of excuses, of course.  Oh, it just rained.  It’s getting dark.  I just ate.  I have work to do.  I just want to unwind.  Blah blah blah.  So I went yesterday because I actually felt bad that I have so many excuses.  I didn’t go for long–only seventeen minutes.  And I alternated walking and running.  That’s how much of a sissy I am.  But you know what?  It was something, and something is better than nothing at all.

Carter has been doing well with his many issues.  We went from him being allergic to dairy, eggs and thinking that he had celiac disease to almost being completely normal.  Celiac testing was negative last month.  And we have been giving him small amount of dairy every day for the past week or so.  Remember this post?  We haven’t had any reaction like that so far, so I think we’re on the right track.  Hallelujah!  Now if we could just get him to stop being such a fussy eater, I think we will be all set.  

I ordered a nice big collage for our family room of the pictures that my sister-in-law took for us last week in New Hampshire.  I’m really excited about it.  I’ve never ordered a 24×30 picture before . . . and then I got a couple of other unique sizes that I have never ordered before either.  It will be nice and happy and make me think lovely things every time I look at it.  

Last week I had an appointment with my electrocardiologist to discuss this and this.  He is confident that the second procedure was successful and that my “short circuit” as he calls it, was destroyed this time around.  I don’t have to see him again for another year.  Yay!
