We weigh in tomorrow, but I've been bad LOL Oh well. Whatever happens happens.
I finally found a ten speed bike on craigslist that is dirt cheap and ready to ride. It's a Huffy 314 with pink pleather handlebars and a pink seat. I had to drive all the way to Katy to get it from a guy who charged me $50 for it. Maybe I should have haggled, but I was just happy to have found a bike I could actually ride. Do you know how hard it is to find a ten-speed bike for short people?
Pat screamed at me when I asked if I could borrow the $50 from her and pay her back Friday. She's going to be short the next two weeks because of all the trips to the emergency room, the hospital stay, and then these follow-ups. I told her nevermind, but she ended up lending me the money anyway, and she said if she overdrafts on Friday, she's going to kick my butt.
Maybe I should be more concerned about our money situation, but I give Pat $200 every two weeks, I pay for our cell phones, and I do all the groceries. She's in charge of electric, water, cable, and internet. I told her we'd forego the cleaning lady this week, and that I'd give her $300 this time. I didn't tell her that this left me almost nothing for groceries or my gas money, but I try not to complain to her even when I sometimes don't even know what I'm going to do to pay for stuff like my lunch.
Things always work out, though. On days when I think I'm down to $2 in my checking, something always comes up where I can make a few extra dollars. Last week one of my co-teachers asked when I was going to make banana nut bread again so they could buy some. This week, I went through my jewelry box, found my old wedding ring, and I thought to myself that I really don't care to keep this old thing.
Very few people know I had been married before, but not in the United States. I was married in Oslo, Norway. And I try to forget those worst five years of my life because at the end, I don't think a long distance marriage really is a marriage anyway... especially if you're cheated on only a week after you say, "I do." You should have seen those photos -- I looked like deer in headlights during the ceremony. The lessons I learned from that: don't be a dumba**. But what's done is done. The best thing I got from the experience was that I got to go to places like Norway, Sweden and Denmark. And this week, I got $41 for the gold band that used to be a symbol of my ball and chain. Hmph.
I put it on before I drove to the gold buyer, too. It didn't even fit because apparently, even my fingers have lost weight. Oh well. Good riddance. :)

I was so mad on the treadmill yesterday when Angel set it at 9.0. I started screaming, but she wouldn't stop it for 40 seconds, and then she did it again. I told Ericka where my insurance card was, and to call Pat if I fell off. It didn't end there, either. We had to do lunges with weights, bicep curls, xverteds, and then Angel wanted me to literally hang by my arms on the hack squats box and lift my legs, which I could do... but when I saw her take the bench away, and I realized I was going to be hanging there for a while, I started screaming again until she put the bench underneath me.
And how has your week been? LOL
Pat's legs have gone down somewhat, but I asked her not to go to work this morning. She has had to double up on the water pills, and no salt allowed. I don't think I'm much help, though. I baked a batch of corn bread yesterday to go with my pot roast, which definitely has a bit of salt in it, so she ate a tiny bit of those. I also bought some fresh fruit after studio last night so she could have some.
This brings up my eating. I think my eating could be better, but I don't think it's that awful. This morning Angel texted, asking how we felt (because secretly she wants to hear that we're sore from yesterday), and what did I have for breakfast today? <--- She NEVER really asks what I eat. That's weird.
One thing about Angel, she won't tell you that you can't have what you want to eat. She'll always say, GO AHEAD. But she'll tell you to watch your portions. So if you want ice cream, go ahead... but have maybe half a cup. If you want to go to a party, go, and EAT. BUT when you get a plate, get the little cake plate, and that's where you can put your regular food on, and no fair stacking up your food high.
I have nothing to hide, except for the three corn bread muffins I ate right before going to the studio yesterday. And the day before that, I went to McDonalds and had myself some mcflurry with m&ms. LOL Snack size? Shoot. If I'm going to be bad, I'm going to be good at being bad LOL Angel don't need to know nothin. Nothin. LOL

Right after I wrote that Pat was back home, she asked me yesterday to bring her to the emergency room again. Her hips, legs and feet were so swollen, she couldn't even bend at the knees. We ended up being at the emergency room until past 6:30, then I went to find 24 hour Walgreens pharmacy. I ended up in an unsavory part of town, but we got her water pills in time for her to take one last night. I don't know if they're working, though.
I'm scared. I asked one of the nurses yesterday why her legs were swollen, and they said when the liver isn't able to function, it backs up with fluids that swell us. I wanted to have him repeat the part about the liver not functioning. No, it can't happen.
I ask Pat if she's going to be OK, and she seems to be so sure she will be. But I just have a feeling... things aren't OK. I don't want to show her that I'm scared, but I think she's scared too.

Saturday bootcamp will be at Spring High School starting... yesterday LOL The good part is that we won't be flipping or dragging diesel tires anymore. The bad part is that now, we'll be running up and down the ding dang bleachers and running back and forth on the football field. Excuse me, can we go back to the tires? I miss them.
Pat's back home. :)

We did weights in Angel's studio last night -- torture! We had some new stuff to do, like I can't do regular planks anymore (Have to put up one leg while at it), and no more knee push-ups. I was so tired because I was at school, then at the hospital, then studio...
Last night, I soaked in some warm water and epsom salt, and I FIT in the tub. LOL That's another plus to being smaller -- I can actually enjoy a bath.
Hopefully, Pat is discharged today. We'll see.
