I used a lotion on my face this morning. An anti-aging lotion, which I don't normally use but I am aging so I figure it's time to start raging against the dying of the light or whatever. Let me tell you what, that shit must work, because my face-skin has been itching like the devil all day. I don't think I'm allergic to it, it's just eating away all the old skin, I guess. After a couple days of this, I should have skin like a baby's butt. Maybe I should just use this at bedtime.

What kind, Zen?

Aw, Vortex. My mental image of my wedding if there were to be such a thing completely altered when we lost my mom (which was 14 years ago today and wait that can't be right but yeah). It kind of stopped being fun to speculate about.

Palmer's something.

{{{Vortex}}} I've never been able to stand there during a father daughter dance at a wedding. I usually just go hide in the bathroom until that part is over.

Yikes, Zen. That sounds uncomfortable.

ltc hardly napped at all today. An hour of going back and forth to her room trying to get her to settle down led to a 20 minute nap. Remind me to smite the next doctor that balks when I tell them my current exercise routine is taking care of a baby.

Also, I've been tracking points on weight watchers for 3 days, and already today I wanted to eat all the things. Of course, some of that may have been the stress of ltc not napping.

sj, you should get a Fit Bit or step tracker on your phone. When the docs give you crap, just show them the steps.

and thanks everyone. It just totally hit me by surprise when I was watching Downton Abbey. Edith was coming down the stairs and Robert looked up at her so happy and proud, and I just started crying. Totally blindsided. I guess I thought that after all of this time, it wouldn't hit me so hard.

I have a tracker on my phone, but I don't carry it with me around the house. I have a Fit Bit somewhere. I just have to figure out where and set it up. I put it somewhere "safe" so that I would know where it was after ltc was born.

Whenever I've done Weight Watchers or even just started tracking my food while trying to stay within a calorie range, the first 7-10 days are the WORST. I want to eat everything in sight. It'll get better as you adjust, though.

I'm exhausted. I don't know why. Also, lots of pain. I need to call the rheumatologist and make an appointment, but I keep forgetting that when it's during business hours and I'm not in front of a class. Also need to make a bunch of other phone calls. There should be more things that can be done online.
