Day 17

I went to see our PCP this morning.  My good cholesterol is great but the triglycerides is not so good.  For now she wants me to take a prescription strength fish oil and cut down on carbs.  That would mean my beer.  I would rather give up bread.  I guess I really need to take care of myself.  I am not a teen that will live forever on chocolate cookies.

My gift today was to not tailgate a slow driver.  I can get really irritated following someone that cannot go the speed limit.  I made myself back off and just go with the speed they were setting.  Granted when they got into the construction site they started going faster and was well over the limit and I had to not keep up with them. 

We had to put a goat down today.  Max found one of the goats down today and when we got her up she was doing the star gazing thing.  We do not know what she had, we are only hoping it was a fluke and no one else is going to get sick.  The vet said it could be a 1000 different things that had her sick.  The biggest thing is to keep an eye on everyone else, including humans, for signs of someone else getting sick.

Tim made it home from Arizona.  That is what I am thankful for today.

Have a Grace filled Saturday.

I'm so sorry about your goatie! Very sad. My Dr. says the same thing, less carbs more fish oil...bummer. I thought we might get by with staying young forever, it just isn't gonna happen is it? I hope your skiing was awesome, we ate and had family in town all weekend, I need a couple days to recover from my holiday! Johnny is getting a bit better, hope you are staying well, there are some nasty respiratory bugs out there.
