What day is this?

I had been keeping track of how many days it's been since my diagnosis...in fact, it's in my day planner, but sadly, that's away from me at the moment.  I had written some other blogs, but I found myself unable to publish them.  They were just too personal.  I guess I felt I had to hold them close to me.  There are still some things that I just don't know if I want everyone to be a part of.  That being said, things have been fairly difficult lately.  Oddly enough, it's not even stuff that is "my own", it just is close to me and makes things...well...harder.  That's not to say that great things haven't happened.  I just got a call a few days ago from the Cleveland Clinic that made me squeal.  I'm not sure how it's going to change things from here on out, but it certainly has lifted a weight off of my shoulders.  So, the Lord has been here through the good and the bad.  I finally feel as though I can write again, though I might lean toward things that I'm thinking about instead of what's going on in my life.

I've finally hit the wall.  You know...the one where you had lost weight and were feeling great and then you gained it all back and you say, "Seriously?!  What the heck am I doing??  I was feeling really good and now I'm back to where I was.  Is food really THAT important?"  So, I did my first Jillian Michaels work out today and hopefully will be attending the gym at least three times a week.  I really thought I'd be better once I got out of the hospital since they encourage you to eat well after surgery, but when all the foods you SHOULD eat you're not allowed for 6 weeks...it kinda starts you off on the wrong foot.  Hopefully that will start to be remedied very quickly.

I was looking for a new e-book on my Nook and realized that there seem to be no books to instruct women on how to do handy things.  Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong place, but I really couldn't find anything.  There are lots on what to expect when you're pregnant, shopping, finding Mr. Right, books on how to do dirty things, how to plan weddings...what if a girl doesn't want all those things?  I just want to find one of those books like they have for guys...like the ultimate guy's guide to doing everything kind of thing.  My brother has one that I think is called Man Up.  I want one like that but for a woman.  I want something that has all kinds of information that you really should know, but often aren't taught.  Maybe they're under Butch Women or Old Fashioned Women.  I dunno.  And if there isn't anything out there that's helpful, I'm going to learn it all anyway and write my own book.  Surely I can't be the ONLY one who wants to be independent and not some stupid maiden in distress.  I mean, I can do a lot of work on my own car and stuff, but there's more than just cars to learn.  Well, I guess that's my vent for the evening.  If anyone reads this and knows of a book that fits my description, feel free to comment and let us know what it's called.

Verse of the Day:  I really love this one...

...For I am doing something in your own day, something you wouldn't believe even if someone told you about it.   Habakkuk 1:5
