Four Things Friday

The snowstorm I didn't run in.  This is at dusk,

my house is at the top where the lights are. Those

are my footprints in the unplowed driveway.

1. Today  I must say I felt much better.  I was actually up and dressed for the major part of the day. I cooked supper for the first time in days when my husband announced that he was going to bed as he must have what I have had.  Today I stretched, showered, dressed, ate and got some work done.  The best thing about being sick and letting the personal hygiene slide (I brushed my teeth at least) is that when you feel better and get cleaned up you feel like Miss America!  Another plus of all this - go on vacation - eat tons -everything you want - come home and get majorly sick - no worries about gaining those unwanted pounds!

2. We are getting quite a storm today and it is definitely the type I like to run in.  Because Hubby was sick I headed outside and loaded up all the wood buckets to keep the home fires burning and went and got the mail.  I must say the effort it took me to get up and down the driveway made me realize NOT running today was a very good call! But tomorrow I plan to give it a try.

3. I made some phone calls today for some appointments.  One appointment is for March 19, 2013!  Yes, I did not type that wrong - 2013.  When my dermatologist gave me the number he said it would be a year.  His nurse warned me it would be two and she was right.   I had a mole removed more than a year ago that was a pre melanoma. A plastic surgeon did the surgery and said the scar would be gone in a year. Well, not so much. It was lessened but not gone.  The problem is that the next time insurance doesn't cover it but I want to go have the consult and see how much it is and what they can do.  It is not dreadful where I gasp every time I look in the mirror.  But your face is pretty prominent except when you wear a face mask running in the cold.  We'll see.  I have LOTS of time to think about it.

4. Watching - Lost season 2.
Reading a book by Wendy Wax - total predictable chick lit - light fluff. Perfect for being sick - no deep thinking involved.

And thanks for all the nice comments.  I could certainly feel the bloggy love when I was sick!
