Actually, sometimes I am. The weather here has shifted colder, and I frequently find my hands getting a bluish tint to them. Nothing so dramatic as the first time, and I suspect that this will be the new norm for me.
It happened last night while I was cutting up chicken breasts for dinner, and Big Boy asked me to reach toward him and say, "Braaaains..."
Heh. Such a wit, my Big Boy.

It's ten in the AM now and I have already managed to mark three things off my To Do List, which is good.
I have some additional shopping to do, which will likely be the most time-consuming thing on my list -- at least the combined errands I must run using the car. Buy a blood pressure cuff. Drop off poo-cards at the lab and get the BP cuff calibrated. Buy additional foodstuffs for our new, healthy, vegetable-rich diet.
Now, while I agree that my doctor is a bit weird about the whole diet/nutrition thing (recommending an over-the-counter weight-loss drug, suggesting The Zone (a diet I believe is faddish and not recommended for a person with a family history of kidney disease, such as myself)as a diet option), this does provide a good opportunity for my Beloved and I to eat a better diet.
The single worst potential horror of my life would be to lose him, and if this will help him be more healthy, then I am all for it. Plus, so far we've been creative and really enjoyed our tasty food. (For lunch yesterday, we had peppadews stuffed with a nice lean tuna salad. Yum!)

It's going to be an interesting week. Big Boy has a doctor visit tomorrow, and I have to take my Beloved to the airport Thursday morning. Hopefully it will be early enough to avoid too much traffic.
