Censored for Your Viewing Pleasure

It's been a good day, I've felt well and enjoyed the company of wonderful people.

My meals came in at 650, 400, 500, and 750 calories.  2250 calories isn't going to cut it, I need to stay above 2500.  2750 should be my goal.  They say that you're 70% more likely to achieve goals you share with others, we'll see if that works out here.

Today's highlights - Emily!  Always the star of my show.  The time went far too fast, as it always does.  We worked out some long haul logistics; visited with Al and Sherrie in the early afternoon; and visited with Scott and Melissa later in the evening.  We also watched some Modern Family, ate lunch, and laid around hugging each other a lot.  It was awesome, she'll be back Wednesday, I'm looking forward to it.

There are a few issues I haven't decided on yet as far as the tenor of my posts.  I wrote my last log primarily for me, for review.  That's already been paying off, as I search it for information about how various medicine made me feel or what food I enjoyed eating.  That type of useful historical information will make it into this log as well, depending on whether the procedure I'm being subjected to is one I'll repeat in the future.

In the last log I also spent a good deal of time talking about who visited me, a lot of you reading this don't know each other.  It's boring to read about people you don't know anything about.  I would often include a lot of my emotions.  Emotions come and go quickly.  They're not boring, but they can certainly be pointlessly upsetting to others.  Finally, I would discuss many of the more minor inconveniences and discomforts associated with my situation.  There are a thousand little issues and pains that I could complain about, I'd prefer to only complain about those that also entertain.  So I'm considering writing less about some of these topics and focusing more on what is interesting to others or helpful to me.  let me know if you disagree.

Essentially, this time around, I'm writing this to help the reader know what I'm going through, how I think (hopefully my children read this one day), and to share my sense of humor, my interests, and my loves during an otherwise dark period of my life.

It's bedtime again, I took my restoril 30 minutes ago.  Surely I can manage more sleep tonight.  Enjoy a picture of Emily and me in Cabo a couple weeks back, we took a Disney cruise with the boys.  Good timing, right?
