I went in to work today to visit with everyone and see about going back on Monday. I have decided to go back to work but more than likely part time. I will work 7 am to about 11 am. I am so nervous about going back to work. During the first part of my time off it felt like it would never end and going back to work seemed so far away. Now it is looming over me and I am worried. I know I have to go back eventually. I'm feelin super sore today but I know it is probably all in my head because I know that I have to go back to work soon.

I went grocery shopping today and I looked at the labels for the first time ever. Do you know how many grams of sugar there are in tomato soup?!?! I bought shrimp, fruits, veggies, special K bars, soup, and protien cereal. Weirdest shopping trip I have ever been on. New for me to come home with food that does not need to be prepared with a deep fryer.

I am also having an issue with my protien drinkage. I have a powder that has 23 grams of protien per serving. I have to drink three of those shakes per day to get my full amount of protien. I am now apparantly lactose intolerant and milk tears me up. The powder is chocolate so mixed with water it causes some dry heavage issues. Now, there is a pre mixed juice type drink that I can use that has 40 grams of protien in it. That is two thirds of my daily protien. The issue is that the drink costs $2.59. My thought is this. I used to pay 5 dollars a pack for cigarettes and I smoked a pack a day. Now I will only be paying $2.59 a day. I'm thinkin it would not be ridiculous to buy 15 of those juices a payday. It would cost less than cigarettes did.

Well, my next appointment is April 9th. Hopefully I am still blood clot free and not dying of gang green. :)
