But that tiredness feels good, doesn't it? real physical tiredness? So much better than mental weariness where you just lie in bed and the wheels go 'round.
1) I don't have my taxes done yet for 2004
2) I used to be so thin and so active, and a lot of the people I know have never seen me that way - makes it seem like it was all in my mind
3) I'm so tired.
Susan, what is a Buck and Doe (other than the deer)? I love to people watch too. My favorite place to do that was when we lived in Virginia and we'd go to Virginia Beach in the summer. The people there were just plain weird. Very entertaining.

In my day, we had a 'stag' for fella's before they got married. The gals would go to a bar or something that night. Then just in the last 15 or 20 years they've started having full blown dance type events for the couple-to-be.
There was a DJ and games of chance, beer, lots of family and old and new friends and beer and coworkers and beer. And the very important buns with meat and stuff at midnight.
I think part of the idea is to include folks that don't get invited to showers or the actual wedding ... and to raise money ... and drink beer.
That sound pretty cool. Boy I'm getting old. I remember stag parties but have never been to a Buck and Doe. Sounds like fun since it would be informal.
Things are going good. I just finished exercising and that's always good to be done with. I'm sort of sleepy today and I really had to push myself to get into it.
Hi All
I havent been able to log on since 3/21/06. So I finally just made a new user name. I have been able to keep up with reading the postings, but I just couldnt post. I am so glad to be back in.
Went on vacationa for a week to Kentucky. It was great.
Last week got the flu and it kicked my butt. So with that said I think I am going to try to go to work tomorrow. Today I have been able to keep some bland whole food down so I am getting better. I think I slept for 3 days.
Talk to you all soon.
Karla
PS I changed from the pig to the flower, I am feeling a little more positive. My blood work came back, I dont know if you remember when I said that one of my goals was to get my colestorol under 300. Its down to 255!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've got a bit of oddness happening. When I first strated losing weight, I could have a 6 or 7 lbs swing with PMS. Now that's gotten down to 2 or 3 lbs and it no longer swishes away in one day. It's far more gradual. I think I can remember 'once' that I actually kept losing straight through my period.
Last week, it should have been time for my (ever increasingly variable period) to arrive but I lost weight. I was fairly certain that it was going to be waaay late because at most I stay steady and almost always gain.
But it did start, I think the day after Marie and I were talking about it. And I've still lost. I've weighed myself twice this morning and it keeps saying 125. I'm superstitious and won't change my tracker til tomorrow. But wow, that's odd.
So I guess my lesson in all this is that ... we assume all the changes we experience at our age are going to have slowing affects on our loses but it ain't necessarily so.
Susan, one thing I've noticed as I get older is how variable my cycle is. The closer to menopause, the more wacky it is. I think you should take the scales numbers and celebrate. Good for you!!!
Welcome back Karla, I hope you're feeling even better today. I bet Kentucky was gorgeous this time of year.
I did my walking this morning and got up before dawn. Since I had Sat, Sun, and Mon off, I didn't get up before dawn and exercise. I was sort of worried it would be hard today but it wasn't. I really like that I don't have to exercise when I get off work. I can go straight to playing.
Marie
Bright and beautiful here too! I'd celebrate a loss but since I don't have one, I won't. I will be pleased that I did my exercise this morning at the crack of dawn.
Yesterday I sat outside on my swing and enjoyed the sunshine. I wish it would last but the forecast doesn't look promising past tomorrow. till then I will enjoy it.
Welcome back Karla, and congrats on your cholesterol numbers. Sorry about the illness, I can relate - but my flu was respiratory.
But I have discovered the miracle drug - antibiotic. I can now breathe out of one nostril anyway, and am starting to feel a bit more energetic. Now if I can get through one night without waking up coughing so hard that I end up throwing up, I think I will feel a lot better.
When I was younger (regular periods) and dieting, I would always lose PMS weight and anything else I was going to lose for the month in the first 2-3 days of my period. Since this year is much less regular, I wondered how I was ever going to lose anything without my period - not too speedily, I'll tell you.
Buddha, good work on the 2004 taxes. How about the 2005??? Aren't taxes delightful. Luckily for me, mine have been good and easy the last few years. I like refund better than owing. I used to owe and once had to take a loan out to pay it. I never wanted to do that again. BTW, I am glad you're feeling better. Whenever I cough, I get nauseous and start heeving so if I had a cold or bronchitis I'd be doomed.
I actually wanted to talk to Buddha about the bum steer I gave her concerning her temperature last week. Buddha? What tipped you off that something was REALLY wrong? I'm afraid I assumed that you had a little bug that would run it's course but obviously you really had something happening. A valuable reminder to me that I should caution what I say. Are you feeling better?
... and drink beer.
