Wednesday. Why do they call it the hump day?
:27am *groan* I am exhausted this morning. I watched that new show “Fringe” till 10 :30pm, and then couldn’t fall asleep. Why I do things to myself I do not know. I know I shouldn’t watch anything sci fi that late. I am such a wiener…a tired wiener, but none the less, a wiener.
Stepped on the evil whit thingy this morning. Same as yesterday for weight, but that is ok. I know I got a star on my chart (mentally) for following the program..and today is another day, *crossing fingers I have another packet of granola in the cupboard*. Between Dylan prowling around in the kitchen at 11pm, Stacy getting home at 4am and Randy leaving at 5:30am, it shouldn’t surprise me I am up & tired. Oh well, might as well shine since I have risen. RISE & SHINE, rise & shine…I feel the momentum of energy and enthusiasm leaving me..
The knees are feeling more gracious today. I really have to remember to keep adding the shark cartilage to the routine. They seem to work in a different way than the drugs do, I suppose the attack the root problem, not just the symptom. Some days modern medicine seems to fall short, and other days it seems to soar. Please someone find a cure for arthritis soon..please? *smile*
Worried about Friday. It is the Contractor BBQ I have been working on. I know this will be a test because I fell off the wagon the last 2 I did. But they have to be done and I need to be there networking blah blah blah. I love it! I just do not want to not do the program. Too many not do’s I need to make up for!
6:24pm Home again, home again, jiggidy jig…Mom always used to say that and right now, it sounds so good to be home! It was a good day, I had granola, some milk and a hard boiled egg this morning for brekkie, lunch I had grapes, another egg, a fettuccini something or other & a diet coke. I had food thoughts all afternoon, yet I still haven’t started my din-din. I feel so frickin’ exhausted. My job is mentally exhausting, although I AM working on responding different, that not everything has such urgency, and it is ok even if someone doesn’t have the dedication or drive for their job, I just do what I can do….(I seem to remember the Seinfeld “Serenity Now” comedy. the one where Kramer uses the mantra “serenity now, serenity now” and at the end loses it. hahaha. That is the only Seinfeld I like. I actually hated the show. But I did like Kramer, the nutcase.
I am thinking time to get busy with completing some of these reno’s. I will paint my bedroom over this weekend, as well as get 2 lights put up, and finish stripping the kitchen cupboards. Maybe even prime them down if I have good weather outside for sanding. As long as I keep busy, food will stay off my mind…and off my belly!
My new wall hangings came in finally, I can not wait to hang them up…I am thinking in my room, when I paint it a deep khaki…nice and relaxing..time for the blue sunsets to leave the wall. big changes after 8 years, but, change isn’t a bad thing…as I am slowly discovering in this, the early beginnings of this blog.

Congratulations on making it through a tough day! It seems like it’s always hard getting started. Too many excuses…”I’ll start next week” or “I just wasn’t ready” or “I need to plan more carefully and try again in a few days”. You’re slugging right through them! Keep it up!
Reno’s…I used to really enjoy changing things and doing renovations. Then we bought 9 acres down in Florida and it seems like every bit of money and energy has gone into working down there for the last 7 or 8 years. I really need to do some stuff around here. Want to help?
Hey, Lady! Just saw your comment from a week ago on the Friday menu. Yeah, yeah…I know I’m supposed to eat breakfast. I’m trying. I just don’t do well with food as soon as I get up. I’ve been eating breakfast around 10:00 each morning. I’ve tried to make myself eat as soon as I get up but it just doesn’t feel right to me and usually doesn’t sit well with me. I decided not to fight the “what comes natural” routine and it just doesn’t feel natural to me. And, Hey! whadda ya mean, “Lay off the cookies!” Cookies are gooooood! Can I count them as breakfast?
