Sunday Reflections 3/10/2013


I am not liking the time change, spring forward. The loss of an hour of rest/sleep will take it's toll on me. There was a blurp on TV this morning about how to ease into the time change and loss of an hour...take a short nap between 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. this afternoon.

Today is my "rest" day from walking...though I'm thinking I may get on my treadmill this evening to watch my Sunday evening line-up on TV.

I'm still trying to make my way through the new diet book, which has basically shown me that I need to totally and completely eliminate processed foods from my life and diet and eat only fresh vegetables and fruits, lots more fiber...all of which will be quite ugly for someone that has Crohn's disease which is an inflamation of the colon. Not just a part of the colon, my whole entire colon is constantly inflamed...so, the roughage and fiber of fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts, are what I do my best to avoid because they irritate rather than nourish my body. There is nothing in this book that addressing folks like me that have Crohn's disease, though are bits and pieces that address folks with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrone) which is similar to my disease, but supposedly with this diet can be reversed.

At least the diet book was only $10.50. My instinct is telling me that I need to consult with my primary care doctor, my gastro doctor and nutritionist before embarking on this journey of fresh veggies, fruits, seeds and nuts. I honestly can't afford to end up back in the hospital...I'm still digging out from last year's flare when I first started my current job and then the annual colonoscopy which was done this past December. I would like to go through 2013 without any major medical situations occuring...which makes me really question if this dietary line of thinking is for someone with my special colon issues.

I find myself frustrated because I do want to loose weight and do it in a healthy manner. I even found myself recalling how scary the pain was when my colon did rupture 2 years ago!!! So, I've got to find a good place with myself and body and figure out what will work for me. That's the current conclusion I'm coming to with this diet deal.

It is turning cold again today...started a little earlier than the weather folks were predicting but that's okay. I plan on staying inside today and looking out over the crop of Sweet Gum balls covering the whole northeast portion of my front yard. All those Sweet Gum balls will have to be raked up before I can do anything to my front yard in preparation for spring and summer. I hate the Sweet Gum balls but the tree is so huge that it provides some shade in the hot summer months. It would cost a small fortune to have it cut down and replaced...another financial deal that I simply can't do right now. I'll deal with the Sweet Gum balls in the next couple of weeks in preparation for putting down some sort of weed pre-emergent. I would like to get the weeds well under control this year. Just another year and I'll be able to sign up with a yard maintenance company to do my weed control and fertilizing of my yard.

Nothing really going on with regard to sex in my life right now. I'm not really interested in taking on any new submissive men or<b> fuck buddies...</font></b>just not appealing to me right now. I haven't heard from my least favorite submissive, which I am starting to think about how nice it would be to command him to stop by and service my pussy with his mouth and tongue. I am seeing how long it will take him to send me a note asking how I am...but then if he has had to start thinking about his taxes, I may not hear from him until sometime in May.

I'm excited about post-season college basketball...time to get my brackets ready for March Madness and the Big Dance of the NCAA College Men's Basketball Tournament. I LOVE bracketology. I'll probably sign up for the firm's pool. It isn't the same as the one pool I have been doing with the big firm of my dream job. I just don't know if I want to put my hand in that pot. Though it is fun to see how good or bad I do.

Time for another cup of coffee and watch some post-season conference basketball tournament play...spring is on the verge of happening in these parts, though there's usually a good harsh cold front or two that happens by or on Easter.

Have a great work week ahead!!!
