I worked two extra shifts this past weekend. I am rolling it in. It was a good weekend and I am glad it's over with. I had my labs drawn last night after fasting for over twelve hours, only to find my cholesterol is a little bit higher than I would like it to be. How can that be?? What's the deal. I rarely eat meat. Rarely. And I am concerned about my intake of milk products and getting enough calcium as it is. So what's that all about? I guess I need to start exercising again. I have kind fallen off the band wagon. And as I think about it, I wonder if I should join a gym or just go outside and do something. I have never been a gym member before, but I think if I paid money for it, I would be too cheap not to use it. I don't know. I know I don't feel that much a difference by just walking and I don't get that hard of a work out from it, walking as fast as I can. My brother has lost a ton of weight by going to the gym as have other people that I know. Not that that is my primary objective (not that I wouldn't mind losing a few pounds and becoming even hotter than I already am), I would like my cholesterol levels to be perfect. None of this borderline high crap. It just bums me out. I don't know. I need to do something about it. I am a nurse! I am just about 26 years old! One shouldn't have cholesterol problems at 26! I never eat at McDonald's. I hardly ever eat chicken! Or eggs or drink milk. What's that all about????
So I have one day off and then I go back for one. I am thinking I would like to finish my Christmas shopping today. I just have a few last things to get for Shane and then I am done. I just keep putting those last few things off.
I took Shane to his first final of the day a few moments ago. There is rumor of Starbuck's with the money earned from selling back his worthless, overpriced books.
I must say that our Christmas tree is awesome. It looks so nice! I strung cranberries and popcorn and put it up. Along with our Chris Mouse ornaments, we have a pretty nice tree here. Now all we need is presents under it.
