I am going to try to get out of work early this afternoon. I have to pick up the car, get groceries, and head to the cabin. I decided to get it fixed and hope for one more year before I have to buy a new vehicle. In the meantime I have been drooling over [...]

I am blaming everything on the fact that June is a ‘blue moon’ month. All this wonky lunar energy is striking all around me creating an aura of disaster. Stand back, I say, stand back! I am counting the hours until July.
I have lost 7 lbs in six months, an average of .269 lbs a week. [...]

I am feeling better now that I am back on the atkins thing. I don’t know what to call it - I am avoiding the word ‘diet’ cause it makes me roll my eyes. I slid way off today, by the rules of induction, but since I biked for an hour just getting around town [...]

Twitchy legs, aka restless leg syndrome, is a family affliction, although we never knew it had a formal medical-type name. It can be torturous, robbing you of sleep and making long trips hell. Imagine a feather tickling the inside of your joints until you have to move to make it stop. Immediately it starts again, [...]

The universe giveth; the universe taketh away. sigh. Here’s the scene; Friday night, heading to the cabin, scretly chuckling over the taxman’s error, planning what to do with the money (retirement fund? new tires? new stove? credit card payment?) when wham! almost exactly halfway there, on that northern bush highway…transmission on the car goes blewey.

Whew boy! I am supposed to be on the road to the cabin and I still have to shower and pack! I am going to be a wreck when I get there.
Two strange but good things happened today…my gas bill came, and for some reason I have a $500 credit and so don’t have to [...]

It’s very warm this evening and I have to wait until it cools down a bit to take the dog for a walk. This weekend I will be at Loverboy’s cabin and the animal can run wild and free; tonight he is going to be limited to the neighbourhood. I am doubled over with cramps [...]

I have been spending a lot of time going over the blogs on this site and what a motley and interesting crew we are! Some blogs are very hard to read; there are people in a lot of pain, people doing some very unhealthy things to try and lose weight…I want to reach out with [...]

Loverboy just left. Poor guy spent almost the entire weekend working on my yard. He cleaned and trimmed and moved and cut and raked…looks darn good now. I bought some new lawn furniture and a firepit and I am going to enjoy spending time out there.  Now I feel ready for summer. (I did help [...]

Ok, I am borrowing Leeda’s goal and I am aiming to lost 7 lbs by July 4. I would say Canada Day, July 1, but I want those extra 3 days! That will bring me to my first goalpost and get me a full manicure/pedicure session at the spa. Should I make the appointment now?
