I got my car!! I picked her up Tuesday the 16th.
She's freaking gorgeous. Fast!! She's lighter than my 2013 by 200 lbs. She goes from 0-60 in 6 seconds and boy is she throaty sounding! Sounds like a muscle car. LOL
She's the only one in Des Moines with the Brembo brake package. She has Bluetooth etc. LOVE IT!! She seems to shift more smoothly than the 2013.
The first day I went to work I couldn't get her into reverse. I had to have Jeff get out of bed to show me. Since she is a 6 speed, the reverse is right by 1st gear, instead of being under 5th. Have to push down on the stick slightly to move it into reverse. Easy smeasy. Must be a safety feature so people aren't shifting into reverse at stop lights and stuff.
She's HAWT!
I haven't used my stomach feeding tube for 9 days now. Today will be day 10. Yay! Food is starting to really taste a whole lot better although some still suck like spaghetti sauce. I can eat chocolate in small quantities. Egg salad on Pringles, and refried bean pizza are soooo good. LOL I've lost 70 lbs and am a size 8 now. Not for long!! Ha!! Having a blast buying cute clothes. Although I think I had cute clothes when I was size 18, my clothes now just lay better and I look better. I never had a problem being a big girl. I have the body type that carries weight well, and I always weigh more than people think I do. It's the way I am shaped I think. Or big bones. That's what my mom always said. LOL
I still have some edema in my face and am seeing a therapist for that. I massage my face and push the water under my skin to different channels to flow down my neck. It works! If I don't do it every day it gets tight and hurts. It's tight when I wake up.
I bought the Star Wars complete saga and am going to have a Star Wars watching marathon all by my lonesome. Jeff really isn't into Star Wars and has never even seen the first one from 1977!
I KNOW, RIGHT!?!
I had a major crush on Mark Hamil way back then and saw Star Wars in the theater three times, twice by myself. I was so bold back then, I'd never got to a theater alone now. I'd drag someone along with me. Or bribe them. heehee
I have a bunch of wreaths to make too. July 4th, Hawkeyes, beach, Autumn.....it's so good to be back to normal.
