Surviving Step by Step: Wash and Go

Everyday I see more empty spots on my head. When I look close enough with a magnifying mirror, I can see all the stubble just lying on top of my head. I usually get a warm wash cloth and  run it over my head a few times.  I have a very clean head. Once it is all off, I won\'t have to wear a turban on my head while I sleep. This catches all the stubble that would get on my pillow. I don\'t want to take a chance of getting one of those small pieces in my eyes.

With me being thirsty all the time and having dry-mouth, it has affected the taste of food. Sometimes the food tastes stale if it  pertains to crackers, dry cereal, or any type of chips. The flavor isn\'t  as good. Any type of fruity food or veggies has more flavor. I guess that is good, seeing I would eat more. Better for me, anyway. Cold food is soothing and hot foods hurt the tongue. I treat myself to ice cream and sherbet. The sherbet is especially tasty. I get  a combination of cold and fruity together. All foods make my stomach feel funny. Most I will tolerate quite well, but a few make me rethink going out. I will run errands close to home and have been able to tell when it is time to get home.

My children are home now. We will go out soon. One has baseball practice today and then will be done until next week. The weather does not look promising toward the end of the week. Maybe it will go just enough north of us to have cloudy days or light rain. They deserve a good break from school. Do you know they both were up by 7a.m.?  I guess their internal clocks are still on school time. Maybe tomorrow they will sleep in!!!

Until another day, do a good deed. Help someone out, give a hug and smile. My faith will keep me strong and my family will make me smile.

Life is good.
