Dear Diary,

Busy day but all things considered it went well. I stayed on my eating plan and had my alloted amount of carbs. Blood sugars were under control. It is 9:30 and I am ready to crash. Got up at 4:30am to take Lynn to the hospital by 5:30. The surgery went well and she is resting comfortably tonight. I was able to attend my lunch meeting and work for a few hours this afternoon. Packed a ziplock bag of snacks and drank plenty of water. Today was one of the hottest days of the year and the air conditioning went out in our office, hot, hot, hot!!

Tomorrow will be easier. I am planning to go to work at 7am so that I can walk around the court square before it gets to hot. Taking my lunch and snacks. I do better when I plan ahead. I will need to run by the hospital to check on Lynn a couple of times tomorrow, but that is easy enough.

As they say "tomorrow's another day!"

Dear Diary,
Today as a very good day. Went to work for a few minutes to get ready for tomorrow, cared for mother, cooked hamburgers and hotdogs with our kids (Mark was home from college for the weekend), and floated in the pool with Bill for about an hour. Sunday is usually the hardest day of the week. Can't figrue out why except that I spend part of the day with Mother fixing her medications for the week, shopping for her groceries, and helping her pay her bills. I guess it's depressing because her alzheimers is getting worse.

I will not have a routine day tomorrow. I have to pick up Lynn at 5:30am from the skilled care facility and take her to the hospital for her colostomy reduction. Hopefully this surgery will be successful and I can get her placed back in the assisted living facility. She is much happier there. It's heartbreaking to watch a 53 year old member of our family not able to care for herself because of dementia. I plan to take my walking shoes to get in a walk while she is in surgery, also some yarn to crochet and snacks so that I will not go to the cafeteria and make bad choices.

I am determined to keep a check on my stress level and make time for the things that matter most and my health is at the top of the list. I am back logging my food and exercise. Also, going to try and journal every day so that I can asses where I've been and where I'm going. Hopefully this will keep me on track.
