Long time no hear, eh? Sorry about that. I could blame the lack of internet at home on my missing a few posts here, so I will. Can't wait til we get internet. Thinking about FIOS - both verizon and comcast are offering competitive rates for their new FiOS packages. Have any of you tried or been using FiOS? What do you think of your internet services or phone service in general??? I generally hate dealing with verizon, anyone have an opinion on comast?
Update on my lameness. Still lame. I'm beginning to think this is more than just from running in those funky five finger shoes. And I'm also wondering if some of Pooper's complications following his recent surgery could be related to vitamin and essential fatty acid deficiencies. Yesterday I was able to run again - though extremely slowly, and those of you who know how slowly I run normally would realize when I say "slowly" means it was painfully slow. And I realized I had a tingling in my toes and felt "flat footed" (the way cats with neuropathies or electrolyte imbalance walk in a plantigrade gait or stance) even when I walked, especially when I walked. And Poopers just had an EMG that showed he has minimal to no nerve conduction to his quads from his femoral nerve and an ultrasound of his femoral nerve showed inflammation (but it was not transected!!!). Needless to say, I will be going to the health food store to get some supplements. And we will be eating more Omega 3's (i.e. walnuts, flaxseed oils, algae derived DHAs), less Omega 6's, (i.e. less vegetable oils), and taking more B12 (for vegans this HAS to be supplemented)! It is odd how I just kinda forgot about the Omega 3's. I had been using flaxseed oil as the oil base of our salad dressing for a while, but then I decided to just use vinegar for my salad dressing, and bye-bye went my source of Omega 3s! Yikes!
Needless to say, with the painful calves, and I mean, painful, I have not done anything aerobic until yesterday. Other than how slowly I had to jog yesterday, mentally it felt good to exercise again!
In terms of the house repairs, it is really gearing up! I may not have been blogging these past few days, but I have been web surfing. I found the best blog with pictures of finished kitchens at, yep, you guessed, "finished kitchens blog." I'm most excited because I think, I hope, I found a source for marble slabs for countertop and backsplash that is affordable. I'm waiting for a call back from the wearhouse, to see if their add was correct. Hope it's not too good to be true! I've wanted marble from the beginning, but was advised against it by all the sales people, and turned against it by the price. But here's hoping that price is right!!!
