End 08 Great, New Habit November

This fits in well with other things that have been coming across my space lately. I found a link to Productivity501 and their Habit List. Then the Habit List course talked about putting Negative Items on your Habit List.

This weekend at the beach I read Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber and mainly what I got from there is that I need to follow my original plan and get rid of all white-flour and white-sugar and salt. We originally got this idea from Energy Up! and Anthony really lost weight when we did it. High Voltage even called us at home after Anthony wrote to her talking about his success. 

This fits in with last month’s plan as well. I WILL create meal plans and shopping lists which move us away from the flour and sugar. This will be better for Connor, too!

Dreams

I had this dream last Wednesday, but then I left for the beach for the weekend so I haven’t written about it yet. I tend to have strange dreams and I can pull in random people into strange situations. It’s usually an interesting look into what I’m thinking about at the time. Anthony has some scale he judges my dreams by and lets me know how weird they are. He says this one isn’t that strange but it felt weird when I woke up.

I dreamed that I was at my dad’s house talking with his wife Judy and my aunt and cousin. Someone else was with me, I think it was my sister Nancy or Anthony. It turns out that Judy had my dad’s body laid out on a bed or a counter. We didn’t see anything strange about this and sat around him having our conversation. Then he started mumbling something in response to our conversation. At that point we all got up to go. Now, we weren’t leaving because we were spooked or scared, but because we thought Judy might want to be alone with him. (This is totally how I felt every time I visited him the hospital. I also have issues with not wanting to impose on people. Therefore, this action makes total sense to me.)

After my aunt and cousin headed to their car, I decided to head back in one more time just to see if Judy needed anything. She was helping Dad get up, apparently they go for a walk every afternoon. I noticed that his hair was black, like it was a few years ago before the chemo. They asked me to stay so we three (or four?) went for a walk in the yard and talked (not about anything in particular).

Then I woke up.

I guess I miss him.

 

Love you sis.
