I think many can agree the weather has just been crazy. Today, for instance, I woke up to thunder, lightning, and rain. And just yesterday, it was super sunny and hot. It was so hot I had to close the living room curtains because when the sun gets to that side of the house, it cooks the house. It is like that every year, the sun that is. The thunderstorm is another story. All through May it has been raining, and cold. It's unusually cold for that time of the year, which postponed working on the yard. Yesterday, my husband took out the bags of mulch and placed them near the areas where he is going to work. We took out the cushions for the deck furniture also, only for him to bring them in, in the morning. I popped out of bed, thinking oh my gosh, the cushions are going to be drenched.

Weigh-in Catchup #3
Here we are another huge catch-up on my weight loss journey. This will be a long post. I apologize, but it's good to get it done. So let's get started. Weigh-in #35 (Sept 2, 2023) This was a good weigh-in. I weighed in at 258.5 lbs, I lost 1.7 lbs. It was a good loss. Now I just have to keep that up. We will see as we continue. Weigh-in #36 (Sept 9, 2023) From what I see, I decided to weigh in on Saturdays, so let's see if that continues. I weighed in at 259.3 lbs, I gained approximately .5 lbs. I'm not happy with it, but it is what it is. Weigh-in #37 (Sept 16, 2023) I weighed in at 256.5 lbs. I lost 2.8 lbs, which is great! An average of 2 lbs is what I would like to lose per week. Slow and steady. Weigh-in #38 (Sept 23, 2023) I weighed in at 254.5 lbs, losing 2 lbs, yay. Weigh-in #39 Continue Reading
I Know It Has Been Months
I am embarrassed for waiting so long to post. I know better than that. I need to change that. Today my cat Lily has a vet appointment. Last night we gave her 1 pill of gabapentin and about 2 hours later she was really out of it. I looked for her in the room where she usually naps/sleeps but she wasn't there. Earlier I blocked the cat door to the basement, so she wouldn't trip going down the stairs. I found her by the water fountain, apparently she needed water, I am guessing she had some. She was laying down just flat on the carpet, not loafing. I thought yeah the medicine must have hit her. So I picked her up. She usually protests when we try to pick her up, by meowing. No meow came out of her. So I gently picked her up and took her to the room. I placed her on a bag of shoes for some reason she wanted to lay on earlier, as it was down Continue Reading
