Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 198.4 lbs.

It is gearing up to be another gorgeous spring day in Buffalo. Yesterday I stared longingly at it out my work window, and listened all day as my clients and their staff told me all about it. I am fortunate though that my pretty little office is situated in front of an early blooming tree such that I have a direct view of it out my big window, as well as of the fields behind our building. I am getting excited about the upcoming summer, although I am not exactly sure yet what to do out there in the world and weather. I suppose that I should be taking this opportunity to kick it up outdoors, but other than a walk or two, I haven’t taken much advantage of it all yet. I certainly hope that this fine weather holds for our April 30th, May 1st and 2nd garage sale dates.

Last night, I had hoped to go for a walk with Tom, but our kitchen sink elbow suddnly decided to fall off, flooding our kitchen with water after dinner and when Tom had just filled the whole sink with dirty dinner dishes. This left him with his head under the sink until quite late, and both of us with quite a mess to sop and clean up. I suppose that this will have to count for my exercise yesterday!

Today is Tom’s birthday (Happy Birthday, honey!!), and Janet is likely coming over to join in his birthday dinner. All this probably means is that we will eat out somewhere simple and perhaps Old Country Buffet as he has chosen. Since we now rarely eat out and I am less tempted as a result, I have gotten a little out of practice with what to do. I know that this restaurant has a lot of good choices like baked fish and chicken and salads, so I am not too worried. Yesterday I ate liver and onions for dinner along with steamed broccoli, and otherwise had a good, healthy eating day without the time issues of the day before to whip me into a starving frenzy. Today should be more moderately paced as well, and I may even get out a little early. I hope to beat Tom home this afternoon, so we can spend a little time together and have him open his card etc. from me, before we head out with company.

And, perhaps today we’ll get some time to enjoy the weather and a nice walk or something. Nice weather is a rarity here so we need to soak it up when we can. It is now 6:43 am and the sky looks cloudless and beautiful!

And speaking of, I’d better hustle if I hope to get my workout in before work! Clearly I have nothing profound or interesting to say today anyway!  I’ll catch you tomorrow!
