Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 190.7 lbs.

Happy 4th everyone, except Canadians and others who don’t celebrate today, I suppose. Regardless…its a Sunday and a good excuse to relax and everyone should enjoy!

Which is just what I plan to do. Yesterday we ended up doing several loads of laundry, cleaning out the basement, and the fridge. It all started when I asked Tom to hang a shelf that I had purchased at a garage sale…and it looked so good and held so much in the basement, that it whipped us both into organizing and cleaning frenzies for the rest of the day. Which was not only actually fun, but productive, and now we can find things and reap the benefits by having clear space to think and do things with.

And…all this hard work kept me from eating too much, and I stayed on track another day. Sometimes when home all day, I tend to mindlessly graze, and I still have not fully figured out a way to channel this restless energy into something more healthy and productive while still allowing myself to veg. after a long day.

Today my solution is to enjoy the back yard and kiddee pool I will blow up soon. I am actually looking forward to working on my tan so I don’t look like paste woman at the upcoming cottage week. However, since I have hardly been out in the sun at all this year, I will probably burn to a crisp if I’m not careful, and especially if I am dorking around all day in a foot of water. With a good book and a drink of sorts. And the phone in case someone calls. Ahhhhhh….

And, seeing as the cpap guy called and couldn’t fix the grave errors that Tom made in my machine, this will have to wait until the big guns deal with it over the phone on Tuesday, or he brings it back in then. But, the good news about this is that it has left me quite sleepy as I am still trying to adjust to life without pumped in O2…and so I will probably snooze in the pool as well!

And if you don’t hear from me tomorrow…I have probably burnt like bacon and can’t move my arms enough to type!
