I had some really positive news from the ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) which is that my hearing has traveled back into the "normal" range. I still have some issues with the quality of what I am hearing, and that may or may not change, but I have a few more days on the steroids, so fingers crossed! I am so relieved and grateful. I know that in the grand scheme of the world's problems, losing my hearing is a minuscule issue, but to me, it was very sad and stressful and I am so glad to be putting this behind me.
This was the first day this week in which I had to regulate my food choices outside of the house, and it went pretty well though my schedule got thrown off. I packed up a shake, some granola, and a banana so that I didn't get over hungry and succumb to a drive thru on the way home.
I also didn't get to workout today, but it was worth it. The girls did chores all week, saved their money, and this afternoon they picked out treats and delivered them to the dogs and cats at our local shelter. My younger daughter doesn't really understand, and wasn't all that interested, but my older daughter was so proud of herself, and eager to do more. When we got home, she asked if cleaning her room counted towards money, as she bustled around tidying up. Normally I wouldn't pay her to clean her room, but there are only so many chores a 3 year old can reasonably do, so for this, it counts.
