Today was a great day!
Saw a nursing home client this morning...her feet were in such bad shape. I washed and soaked them and worked off all of the dead skin exfoliating them from neglect. IT took a long time and was not comfortable for her but she was very happy with me when we were finished. They looked pretty too! Orange polish!
Had seared tuna for lunch with kale, squash, and beets at the health food store. Jeff is still on spring break so he joined the lunch bunch today.
The meal was delicious!
Got my teeth cleaned and the dentist filed down some teeth in the front because they were jagged so am grateful to him. I told the hygienist about how anxious I was at getting my teeth cleaned, I go every 4 months and it only takes her 20 minutes.
I have excellent teeth, not any fillings but have a few uneven teeth. She thinks I might grind my teeth. maybe. I did not tell her that she is kind of rough and my gums are sensitive. I am anxious because of her! I go there because they give me a discount for paying in cash. It only costs me $50 for a cleaning. They don't make me have xrays and if I choose to have them then my bill is $100 total. The dentist examines me once a year, no extra charge.
I don't know what other place would let me do this so I put up with the anxiety.

Saw 3 more clients.
Lovely older folks....one is so young acting and inspirational. We talk about organic foods etc.
Love my job, can't say it enough, so grateful for being employed.


Came home from work, Jeff and I went to dinner at dwights for crawfish and char broiled oysters. I had my usual crawfish ettoufee over steamed veggies in a casserole dish called max's special and jeff had 3 pounds of boiled crawfish which he said they were big so not as many and less work peeling them. He really enjoyed them and I loved my meal!
I was stuffed!
(I asked him to remind me to not eat the whole wheat crackers before dinner! He agreed).

90 minutes later I went to the gym and walked for 5 min at 3.5 mph then jogged/walked for 2 min/1 min intervals for 55 minutes for a total of 4.5 miles in 60 minutes then cooled down for 5 more min. my heart rate got up to 160 bpm which was great and I really sweat! so I know that I got a good work out! I had to give myself pep talks to continue but it felt good pushing myself. I could never have done this had I been drinking.

after gym at 10pm:
(fit bit totals for the day: 13324 steps, 6.57 miles, 2136 calories)

Thank you for reading!
