I just looked at the clock on my computer and realized that the day has sped by. Going walking at noon splits my day at an odd time, and I'm getting a little weary of it. But since the mall will soon be closing and my current walking buddy starts work at 3 p.m., I'm going to continue for at least a while. It was much better back in the day when I could walk in the early evening with my former buddy, who I was finally able to meet for dinner last night. It was so good to see her.

Lois, I have been thinking about you and hope that you're doing okay. I know it can be hard when the funeral is over, people leave, and you try to get back to a normal life that won't really feel normal for quite a while.

Sheesh, I know that you are enjoying the beautiful sunshine in Hawaii, and I bet you're getting in a golf game or two.

Kelly, I hope you are also enjoying your time off and your trip to Minneapolis.

Tomorrow I go back to the implant specialist for my first post-extraction/bone graft check up, and I hope he'll say that everything is going well. For the past couple of days I have had some sensations in my face (and you guys know how that scares me!), and I honestly don't think I could deal with a flare-up of that and this tooth thing at the same time. So I'm taking Benadryl and not putting anything on my face, and hopefully it will soon pass. The worst thing about a flare-up is that all the docs failed to find a cause, so it's also hard to find a treatment.

But back to the subject at hand, my 7-day averages last week were:

Steps = 13,359
Kcals burned = 1,780 (and I hit 1,800 on 3 days, so that was some improvement)
Steps = 10 floors

I am feeling a little depressed today for some reason, so I'm going to log out and do one more thing on my to-do list to make me feel productive, and then I'm going to spend a little time reading. I am getting back to really enjoying some time with a good book.
