My Flog for September 1 + More Packin' and Less Kickin'

Geez, what a crappy day. Woke up way too early, got up way too early. Howard's been off work all week sick, and I'm pretty sure he's sharing with me, as I feel like I've got the weariest bones and achiest body in the world. I also feel like eating everything in sight, but have kept it down mostly to fruit and jelly beans.

Spent part of the day packing, starting with my 'space,' which includes my Writing Books, my Written Words, and my Knitting Stuff. All in boxes, but not sealed, just stacked quietly in the corner with LEAVE TIL LAST written on the tops and sides. Tomorrow I plan to attack my bedroom, aka my junkroom. Oh well, I am moving light, so Value Village - watch out. Any clothes that are too big are going, so that means I better not regain any weight or I'll be in trouble.

• Breakfast - Toast w/Jam and Coffee. 
• Lunch - a bowl of Pea Soup, left over and defrosted from last week sometime
• Dinner - Chicken Breast, Veggie Salad w/Thousand Islands Dressing, a couple of sauteed red pepper strips
• Snacks - Jelly Beans (zero fat grams! just ignore the calories), Diet Pepsi w/Lime, Grapes, Watermelon, Yogurt w/Fruit on the Bottom
• What I Shouldn't Have Eaten But Did - piece of Chocolate Cream Pie. And to tell the truth, it was yucky. Left an oily feeling in my mouth, and certainly didn't satisfy any wants. Byechh. Now all I have to do is remember this feeling next time I decide to grab the CCP. Howard can have it all to himself.

Specialist appointment yesterday, where he set me straight regarding my knee. No torn ligament, but torn cartilage on both sides. What the heck was I doing? Anyway, he's going to do a little bit of an easy simple surgery (according to him) and I'll be able to walk out of the hospital when it's done. Recuperation could be 2 - 5 weeks. Chances of fixing my knee completely are very high, there's a small chance it won't do anything to help, and there's a slim chance my knee will be worse. But when I asked him if my knee would get worse if I didn't have the surgery, he said yes. So I figured I'd take my chances with the fixing. Surgery probably in November - I said I couldn't have it done in September even though there were a couple of cancellations, as I don't relish the thought of moving house on crutches.
