Sistah Pat

Okay, what’s the damage? 165. (sigh) That’s okay. It’s real life. I’m going to take breaks and have long, relaxing weekends with no diet in sight. The trick is to be “on task” all the rest of the time. So…I’m on the healthy road again. Don’t know when the next detour will occur but I’ll just keep trying to stay on the road as much as I can.

Little Sis is still in the hospital. I’m going to try to go see her today. Hopefully, she’ll get to go home soon.

Stuff going on with the Butt Sistahs. I’m not sure what. Sistah Pam is wanting to bail but I’m not sure what’s behind the decision. She says she doesn’t want to be the leader but she doesn’t seem to want to follow either. She stopped going to water aerobics with me but wanted me to nag her to help keep her on track. I tried but she just kept cancelling until I gave up. We set up a dinner for this Wednesday but she sent an email and said she can’t make it. She said she’s just can’t worry about weight right now and just wants us all to meet for dinner as friends. We could certainly do that but I don’t see how an emphasis on supporting each other and eating healthy when we do it would be a problem. I don’t know if she’s upset with Jana and/or me or what. Sounds like the Butt Sistahs are going down the toilet.

I tried to catch up with a lot of blogs this morning but time’s running out and I need to get moving. I want to clean out the RV today. It hasn’t had a thorough cleaning since May. DH, the packrat, has filled the drawers with Visine, nuts and bolts, screwdrivers, chap stick, CDs, aspirin, National Park Brochures, etc. I also need to shampoo the carpet and clean all the dusty blinds. Even though it only has two double beds and one queen size, I bet there are a dozen sets of sheets out there because I take clean ones out everytime we go somewhere and then I wash the old ones and throw them in the storage bin. Well, duh! Why don’t I use one of those sets next time and stop taking new ones out there?

This Thursday is the Potluck Club at work. The theme this time is Fit and Healthy. It’ll be interesting to see what other people bring. I’m taking off work Thursday to go to the doctor but I have to take the boys to school so I can drop off my dish, and I’ll just go in around 1:00 to have lunch and pick them up after school. I hate to take a sick day for a doctor’s appointment but I waited almost three months for this appointment and it’s at 9:00 in downtown Louisville. I’d get to work at 7:30 and have to leave at 8:15 to make it downtown and find a parking spot in time for the appointment and then I probably wouldn’t be able to get back until 11:00 or so. I decided it would be easier to just take a sick day.

Okay, girls, I’ve got lots to do. Later!

1:00 - Dag!  The day is eating me alive.  I went to vote and then went to 3 (three!) different stores trying to find a scrub brush on a pole to clean the carpet in the RV.  I never did find one.  I’d hoped to spray some carpet cleaner around and just scrub it in with a broom/brush and vacuum.  Guess I’m going to have to lug the big carpet cleaner out there and deal with all that because I’m sure not going to get on my hands and knees and use an hand held scrub brush to clean all the carpet in a 37 foot RV.
