Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

I think I’ve finally become to a crossroads where my knee has begun to heal.  After spending several days in pain from what I considered to be ‘overdoing it’, the pain has subsided, and it appears as though my knee is on the road to recovery.   I’ll admit, that I haven’t been walking any  marathons, but aside from it being a bit sore, it seems to be closer to 100% than it has been in weeks.  

I still am not sure what the problem is, so I’ll definitely be making an appointment with my doc when he returns from vacation later this week.  There may be nothing they can do, but hopefully he’ll at least be able to give me an idea of what the problem could be.   I still suspect it’s a pinched nerve issue, but I’d like to hear from the professionals.  After all, my doctorate came out of a box of Cracker Jacks. heehee

In a moment, we’ll head to my mom-in-laws for Sunday dinner.   I’m sitting here sipping green tea, that I brewed myself, and I have to say, it’s delicious.  I’m a little picky about my green tea, and prefer to only drink Lipton, but each evening I allow two bags to steep with boiling water, add it to a 1 1/2 liter bottle with cold water, and leave it in the fridge until the following day.   Throughout the day, I drink the entire 1 1/2 liters-  then repeat aforementioned process for the following day.   It’s good, AND even more importantly, it’s good for me.   No sugar, no sweetners of any type- just pure green tea and water.     It’s my summer drink of choice.

Speaking of drinks of choice-  every now and then I indulge in a glass of Coke Zer0.  It’s ironic, because for years,  I wouldn’t go near any type of Cola drink.  I loved Mt. Dew, Dr. Pepper, Sprite etc, but Colas were not for me.  Now, when I drink a diet beverage, it’s Coke Zero.   Funny how things change.  

What is your drink of choice? and Why?

It’s about time to head to my mom-in-laws, so I had better wrap this up, before Marcel comes in here and starts rushing me.
