Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 248.5 lbs.

It is late, I am wiped out, and the title says it all for today. I just returned from a very long day of work that began at 7:45 am,  followed by Sally’s wake, and I am emotionally and physically spent. I don’t know how my friend Janet or her siblings are able to manage such sustained stress and sadness. I was ready to snap after just a short while at the funeral home.

Plus, despite eating very minimally yesterday, I woke up to find that I had managed to gain a pound and a half since yesterday! I’m not premenstual that I know of, although I certainly am grumpy enough that I may as well be. I began the day truly puzzled and disheartened by my weight gain, and am clueless what it might mean. Today again I ate rather moderately, although I did eat a souvlaki breakfast (eggs with feta, greek salad, beef souvlaki) out with my friend between work and the 7 pm wake. I was rather hungry and stressed, and did eat a lot of it.

But, perhaps, the good news is that I am really too weary to care about my diet or weight right now and, rather than perseverate on something relatively inconsequential, I prefer to sleep on it!

In other words, GOOD NIGHT!
