Lenten Promise

No, I'm not Roman Catholic. No schmoot on my forehead today. Lent just seems to be a good time to promise to do something or do without something. I'm already doing without eating everything I don't need to maintain and a host of other things. What to do?

It was suggested that I blog daily for the 40 days. Gulp. Here we go. I have been meaning to do this for a long time.

This was a busy day -- started out by taking Mom to Kaiser for an earlyish appointment (which took all morning) and will end with a Chieftains concert with the McCarrolls at the Modavi Center.

Mom's blood pressure is fine now, but her pulse is low (after 88 it's patch, patch, patch) so she is changing medication yet again. I find myself wondering why they always start you with the full three months prescription, then you end out tossing two-and-a-half-months worth if it doesn't work out. Got to buy stock in some drug companies. They have to be making a fortune just on what we flush down the toilet. My Mother is amazingly patient with the whole system. I'm sure she would rather be doing something fun rather than spending time at Kaiser.

It's so interesting to me to hear what areas others choose to discipline themselves. Best wishes for success on this endeavor!
