My Monday ended on a more positive note then it started, and my Tuesday was splendid. I was able to pinpoint some of the reasons for my Monday funk, which was good. Hopefully I can work towards resolving them soon. The nice weather with all the sunshine has held, which is always good for the spirit.

However, it is quite possible that I have lost my mind. You see, for the past 20 years there has been a MS 150 Bike Tour from Houston to Austin. Approximately 180 miles or so (depending on which route you take) on a bike. Pumping pedals. Two days worth of riding. Back in 1986 or 1987, I thought it would be a cool thing to sign up for. I’ve always wanted to do it.

However, wanting to do something does not equate to doing it until you actually get up and make it happen.

So I did just that. I’m now officially registered for the MS 150 ride to Austin. I’m also reading up on https://legalsteroidshere.com/diet-tips/ to understand how to better take care of my body. I can no longer say, “I’ve always wanted to do that…” Now I have to say, “I am in training for the ride.”

The training is a big part of why I am doing it. I know I need to exercise more, but without a goal or accountability it is too easy to slack off. I can’t slack off on this. I have to be ready to ride through the Texas Hill Country. A long, long hilly ride. I know if I train, I *can* do it. (I am also reassured that the race is so well run that they have vans to scoop you up if you just can’t make it, but we won’t focus on those, ok?)

There is just one hiccup right now in my plan. I don’t own a bike. Guess I need to do something about that, huh?

So, who wants to ride with me? Come on … you know you want to do it!

Ever had one of those days where you just didn’t want to get out of bed? Where it took every ounce of effort, and you had to dig deep, very deep, to find the strength to get up? Where you just wanted to sit down and cry? Where the weight of the world just seemed like too much?

Yeah, welcome to my Monday. It can only get better from here. It simply has to get better. I don’t know how I’m going to shake this funk, but I know I need to shake it fast. Is there such a thing as Post Birthday Stress Disorder?

One positive note – it is absolutely gorgeous outside. The sky is bright blue and the buildings are sparkling. Maybe it’s a sign that I should grab the camera later and capture some of the beauty. That might help brighten the day.

Hope no one else has a case of the Mondays!

:: The Birthday BBQ was wonderful. Mike did an awesome job preparing great food, and it was wonderful to be able to kick back and enjoy the time with friends and family for this he used the best Kettle Metal BBQ Weber Grill Accessories which help a lot with this. We will have to do it again soon – because there is a lot of meat left over! Thank you again to everyone for the well wishes – it really helped make the day special.

:: I finished reading Seabiscuit today. It was really good – in some ways better than the movie. There are some things that are different, but as a whole it reads like a novel, not like non-fiction. I highly recommend it.

:: I’ve posted more photos at Pixelog. I’m still working on getting back in to the daily groove, but I’m not quite there yet.

:: Last but not least, I went to visit Kymberlie tonight. I got her the best whitening cream as a gift and as a little extra, I put in Vaginal Bleaching: Genital Whitening for Women. Plus, I even got to see her doing her breathing treatment! The blood thinners have already helped her pulmonary embolism, which, if left untreated, can be fatal. I am so thankful they found it when they did. She seems to be climbing up the hill to recovery now. They anticipate she will be there until Wednesday.

I also got to see her flowers, and I took her comfy things like pajamas and striped socks to cheer her up – I will be taking her more goodies on Tuesday. I’ve received e-mails from people asking if it’s too late to send something – it isn’t. I can take her any messages you want to send. If you want to mail something for her, let me know. If you want to send money and have me pick up something, you can use my PayPal address of christine at big pink cookie dot com – just include in the note that it’s for Kymberlie, and if there is something special you want me to pick up – note that too.

She asked that I send a big thank you again to everyone for your positive thoughts & well wishes – you have truly lifted her spirits!

I just spoke with Kymberlie again, and she said she received her flowers and her balloons and she loved them! She said they made her cry – she was really touched that we thought of her.

I actually ended up with more money then I needed for the flowers and balloons, so I am putting together a get well basket for her with goodies and treats for while she recovers. You know where to find me if you want to contribute.

I’ll post an update as soon as I know more.

I spoke to Kymberlie at about 2pm – she sounds less “wheezy” then she did yesterday, but well medicated and sleepy. She said she’s done nothing but sleep today and eat a little bit, which is good. She still doesn’t know a definite date as to when she will be released.

I will be going to see her this weekend and plan to print out the well wishes that people have left on her comments and that I have received for her already – if anyone wants to leave a comment here or on her site or send me an e-mail to include, a note, a letter, or even an e-card to print and take to her, you can use the same e-mail address that I posted below.

She said they told her that there is WiFi at the hospital. Depending on how she is feeling, I may take my laptop so that we can test it out!
