My Day
I woke up around 7 a.m. since I was able to get about 10 hours of sleep. My day began as usual with me making the morning coffee.
I drank my coffee while catching up with the reading of my support groups. It is not unusual for me to use my morning to spend a couple of hours on the computer.
My house was in desperate need of my attention so I decided to start on the laundry first. I started in my sons room since I noticed there were a couple of items on his floor. I deep cleaned his room several weeks ago and he has managed to keep it pretty clean since. While I was in there I put a few things away and gathered up all of his video games and DVDs and moved them to the other room for him to put away.
My next room was the kids bathroom since there were clothes in their hamper that needed to go in the laundry. I gathered the clothes, sorted them in my laundry room and then headed right back to deep clean it. A couple of months ago I threatened my 19 year old daughter with charging her money every time I had to pick up an item of her clothing off of the bathroom floor, and it seemed to have worked.
I made a quick trip to the hamper in the bedroom I share with my husband, and finally began the laundry. My bedroom needs my attention but since I always seem to put it off until last, it still needs to be done.
My son seems to be recovering nicely from his tonsillectomy. I don't know how bad his throat hurts but he has been eating chicken soup, pudding, applesauce, mashed potatoes and gravy and even asked for a scrambled egg last night. He has been able to drink plenty of liquids including a chocolate Ensure drink, apple juice, and water. My son is 18 years old with a big appetite that he uses to feed his 185 lb., six foot tall frame.
I went to bed around 10 p.m. and feel as if I have finally caught up on my sleep.

Weight fluctuations
I have noticed that if I weigh myself more than once per week it drives me crazy. Several years back I nearly drove myself stone crazy with on the scale, off the scale activities daily. This time on CALP I will weigh in Saturdays only. I have been known to abandon CALP based the scale as opposed to how my clothes fit.
