100 Happy Days

Still in, here is what I've gotten so far

Day 1 - spring

Day 2 - My Scoby

Day 3 - pineapple plant grown from a cutting.  I named her Samantha and gave her to my daughter's boyfriend who likes to grow things

Day 4 - My Balloon apron

Day 5 - My Silly Kid

dancing - training for Jane

I might get some miles in later - depends on when I go to work.  It's sunny and that's balloon making weather.

Did get an hours worth of cardio though.

Crazy, unscripted dancing to upbeat happy songs.

I'm in a great mood, breathing hard, accomplished and needing a shower.

Dancing is such a fun way to work out!

Bowling For Soup - "Real"

My Tophi

I decided to post a photo of my tophi, however mild, because I didn't see many photos of mild tophi on the web.  The advanced photos are horrific.  I'm determined to get things under control and keep them there, so I never reach that stage.  I'll add a photo, you'll see why.

Barely visible yellow bumps.  They are much more lumpy than they photographed.  Like having small peas under the skin.  Nobody except me would notice them, but I did and I obsess about them.  They are not painful, but left untreated (and likely without diet modification) they can become this

Nope Nope Nope Nope - don't want that.  

This is what I think about whenever I decide to eat something not on my diet.  This is why I am a vegetarian.  I do NOT want to go there.  I work with my hands, so it's terrifying to face the loss - especially in such a painful way.  I can't imagine the hand in the second photo could make a balloon animal.  at least not without terrifying a child!

So, now I'm a vegetarian, making even more careful choices about my diet.  As soon as my insurance kicks in next month I will see a doctor for medical treatment, though I would prefer natural therapies if they work.

Smile, you'll feel better

Day 2 of 100 Happy Days

Today my pineapple plant makes me happy.  It's just the top cut off of a pineapple I ate.  I put it in some water to grow it.  At first I had to change the water daily as it got cloudy.  Now the pineapple is filtering the water and it stays clear PLUS there are baby leaves starting to form!

won't grow a pineapple in Missouri, but it makes a great houseplant
