Falling apart

I'm having one of those months where suddenly being 30 something is making me feel old. I remember too vividly the days of running on little sleep, junky food, and probably lots of booze and still being healthy as a horse. Now...not so much. The past week I've been told my bad cholesterol is high, prescribed glasses for reading/computer/etc, suffered from an earache and discovered I've got the early stages of glaucoma. GLAUCOMA!! Ok, seriously, this is something you hear about your grandparents having, not people in their 30s! Anyways, it's symptomless, so I guess all the new technology to detect it means more people are actually diagnosed in the early stages. I just have to take some vitamins for the cholesterol and glaucoma, but still. Depressing. Having a child has definitely affected healthiness in our house, and not for the better. I no longer have the time or the energy to cook a healthy dinner every night. I no longer have the time or the energy to exercise all the time. This working all the time business is really interfering with my health! Hahaha. Oh well, I suppose I shall have to make more of an effort to figure out quick, easy, healthy dinners and how to squeeze in more exercise without sacrificing the little time I actually get to spend with Sullivan each day.

On a side note, I would like to mentioned something I find a little crazy. Why does the opthomalogist send you out to pick up your glasses as your eyes are dialating? Besides being totally overwhelmed by all the choices, I was half blind by the time I made a final decision. Needless to say, I ended up with one of the most expensive brands they carry, and who knows if they actually looked cute on me! I guess we'll see in 7-10 days when they arrive. After the amount of money I spent today after what my insurances covered, I think I shall direct Sullivan towards the eye glass frame or opthamalogist careers. Highway robbery! :)
