Well, 2011 is gone, and 2012 is here! Hopefully it will be better than 2011.
We had a good christmas, did christmas eve as usual at juju's, with all the vera family. Valerie's sister came over after wards for a christmas eve nightcap. Dana came into town christmas night and stayed till the 30th. We enjoyed her visit. We spent NYE chilling at home (did a few bottle rockets off the back fence). And for NYD valerie made ham and potato salad... yum!
Got a lot of car work done over the break... got new tires on the hyundai (grumble 800 bucks). Also got the hyundai's oil changed and trans flushed, as well as asking the dealer to fix the radio. They said they ordered a part but so far havent called to say it is in.
Also got the oil changed on the suburban. Dealer couldnt do the state inspection b/c they had to fix the "check engine light" and it hadnt reset yet. what a crock. Anyway i will try to do it tomorrow, thereby getting 1 more month for free. hopefully someone will be open.
Oh and at the start of the break we bought a new car for Andrea. We got a Honda civic LX 4dr. The plan is I will also drive it to sugarland to save gas. So far we like it. Paid 19 flat (plus tt&l) and financed the whole mess at 1.9 for 60. 368/mo payment. Also cost 500/6mo more for insurance.
What else. Weight loss is going ok, though slow. Good news is no problems with the DS. Able to tolerate more and more things. Got info on first labs (blood drawn 15nov) and showed i was high in Ferittin, but low in hematocrit (whatever that means)...they want me to go see a hematologist. May be the beta thalassemia. Other stuff is apparently OK. Which reminds me its 4 pm and i havent taken any vits today yikes! Weight is around 285 right now.
Lastly, thoughts for new year...want to exercise more and improve nutritional discpline (both supplements and protein).
