Just trucking along

A person can definately tell winter is pretty much over. The orange cones and barrels have sprouted along with the signs. You would think somebody would have developed some kind of pestiside by now that would get rid of them pesky things. People could make a mint off of the product. No matter where I go I'm seeing orange. I see workers out there ripping up the roads trying to figure out where they come from. From what I've heard,they still haven't found out anything. Some of the barrels and cones even survived through this last winter. If something isn't done soon construction season may begin to last year round.I seen it survived in Chicago and crews were working hard to try stopping it's spread. It didn't work though. Once it warmed up a little the barriers started spreading. Be careful in those construction zones. We don't want those guys getting hurt and have even more cones and barrels sprouting.

This past week was pretty hard. I had forgotten one of my depression meds and I went on one heck of a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I didn't realize I missed packing that med until Friday night. So that made 5 days worth of missed meds. I guess when taking 10 different pills a day it is easy to miss one. I didn't get home until this morning and popped one right away. My system is still a bit messed up but getting better.

As some of you know I've been battling with depression. I'm still seeing the vet every month or two trying to find the right combination of meds to control it. Between blood pressure pills and depression pills I'm taking 8 pills in the morning and three at night. Tomorrow I go to the hospital for a stress test. I had blood work done last week and depending on the results of that I may be taking more meds for cholesteral and diabetes.God I love getting old!!
I'm proof that a lousy diet,very little excercise and smoking for 30 yrs is not a good combination. So far I managed to quit smoking. It doesn't sound like much but it is. When I quit smoking about 9 yrs ago I was smoking as much as 4 packs a day.I woke up one morning and lit that first cigarette and almost coughed up a lung. After only 2 puffs I put it out and haven't touched one since. The only problem is I gained alot of weight. So now it's a battle to changed my eating habits and get more excercise. That is alot easier said than done. It's like trying to tell VM to slow down a little!
My wife is now having to use a cpap machine for sleeping with oxygen hooked up to it. Her oxygen levels drop as much as 85% while she sleeps.
