Back to Normal

I am back home now and back to normal life. My definition of normal, that is. Now I'm just waiting for the phone call to change my life! It feels good to be at home with my dog and my bed and my family and friends.

I have been doing my home exercise program all week. It's going pretty well. It takes a good two hours, but it seems like it takes all day. I need to rest so much between exercises that time flies. Like I said, I am happy to have a home gym. Some days my husband and I work out together, and it's nice to have company. My husband put a better tv in front of the treadmill as well. It definitely makes working out easier! I have been glued to the Olympics for a solid week now!

I really wanted to go to the Olympics back when the tickets first went on sale in the lottery. We almost bought tickets. We love Vancouver and we've gone out there every year since we got married. Now I can say that it's good we didn't buy tickets or make arrangements to be in Vancouver. There is no way I could leave now that I'm on the list, and I admit it wouldn't be as enjoyable with the way I feel- unable to walk very far and with a limited supply of O2. I still feel like I'm missing out though. At least the tv coverage is good.

I still try to go out and do errands or see friends, but it is still exhausting. I thought I might see an improvement after my exercise program, but I think it's about the same. I feel pretty good overall and I am keeping busy. I feel like there is so much to do before I get the call! From tidying around the house to packing a bag for the call, there's lots to organize. I am eager to push through and get as many things done as possible. I want to be ready when I get the call. Checking those little things off my list will help!
