Good morning!
It's 4 AM, 30 minutes before I normally get up, and several hours after I actually got up.
It's okay. Just not sleepy. It's not the frustrated "can't sleep" thing from the other day repeating itself.
It's hot in Denmark this week - yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far. Nice. And about frickin' time we got some summer.
We didn't get the meal we expected for dinner yesterday, as we simply didn't think about booking a table. Apparently many others did, and they got it. Oh well. We ended up at a little nice Chinese place across the street, and it was just as good. I made sure to get plenty of protein, a good chunk of vegetables, and not too much of the bad stuff.
On the way home I found a candy shop with a huge selection of sugar free gummies. Nice. I bought a little, but didn't go crazy.
Yesterday was a great day. The sun was out all day, and so were we. I stuck to water and a cup of coffee, that's all I had to drink. No sodas, no beer. Didn't miss 'em either.
For lunch, we bought a chicken sandwich, and I had half. It wasn't even that big, but I was "saving myself" for dinner. I was hungry when we got to dinner time, but nothing I couldn't handle.
Anyways,
Today I go back to work. I'm looking forward to it. I wonder if I have a subconscious nervousness about going back and that could be related to me not sleeping? I've been thinking about that. I hope it's simply a "back in the saddle" thing. We'll see what happens. I am not too worried about it, it's just a thought. You guys know how I always analyze myself.
I feel really good this morning. I feel that I am recovering so well. I feel that everything is going in the right direction.
My only concern is really my weight. I still feel too heavy, recovery or not. I mean, I understand why, but I am simply not comfortable with the weight. I do understand that I can't diet and exercise now, I think we've established that. LOL.
However, when my regular surgeon is back next week, I will give her a call and ask her WHEN it is safe for me to work myself back to my prime state where I want to be.
I need it. Soon. I hope.
Sorry guys, it'll be a short journal today. Wife is getting up in a few minutes, and I'd like to spend the morning with her. When she leaves, I want to play my music, and get ready for work. I need a little extra time in the mornings these days, being used to NOT going anywhere.
Today I am thankful for:
- Summer in Denmark!
- Going back to work.
- Morning with Wife!
- Awesome bass playing.
Have a great Thursday! Life is good!
