Wk 5, Day 2 - Tues, 31-Dec-2013

THOUGHTS:

• Today was stayed home mainly with the exception of some errands in the early afternoon.
• I took the codeine cough suppressant the full dosage throughout the day.  My cough was more earlier in the day, but a lot less today than yesterday.  
• I focused on staying warm, though, some parts of the day I was actually hot.
• It's fairly quiet without the kids at home the past couple days.
• Mom loved the photo book we made her, as well as the head/scalp massager.  
• My husband has been applying for a lot of jobs and I help him with some stuff.  I've only applied for a couple jobs this week so far.  
• Yesterday and today I worked pretty late at my subcon job.  I start earlier in the morning, shortly after waking up, too.  The codeine in the cough syrup makes me not fully functioning and thereby taking longer to do my job.  
• This has overall been a good year, but some steep learning in some areas and I look forward to a new year!
• My dad was happy we were home and got to spend some time with him and he was glad we were able to appreciate and enjoy his food.  He made chow mein and the noodles were homemade.  And many of the vegetables came from his garden.  He puts a lot of work into this and I hope he knows we really appreciate this.
• Goodbye 2013!  See you in 2014!

• Took my heart meds, hair supps, Multi vitamins, fish oil, probiotics, cinnamon.
