We are in June, and the weather is nice, at least it is today. Sometimes it rains, but that seems to be a normal thing for my area. Great weather is wonderful, but having a fridge break down isn't. We were able to save most of the food, but we did lose a few things. I would say we went for almost a week, maybe 5 days using an ice box. We borrowed my sister-in-law's, and the only thing they forgot to put in it, was the plug, so the water wouldn't leak out. We managed though, we had to regularly drain the water outside. My husband happened to run into her at the grocery store, so that was a good thing. Her igloo was huge, and it was perfect for us to have what we needed in the kitchen. My husband ordered 2 fridges, one downstairs in the basement, for overflow groceries. We already have a deep freezer, but sometimes that gets maxed, and with Continue Reading
Weather, Furbabies, Gaming & More
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. It was raining awhile so I saw it to be pointless Continue Reading
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
Weigh-in Progress Catch-Up #2
With all that is going on, and just not having the time to post as much as I wanted. I thought this would at least catch me up. If you are interested in what is going on in my life, see the previous post, or follow me on Plurk. I post there daily. Okay, let's see where I am in my progress. Looking back, I noticed a mistake I made in my last weigh-in, so I fixed that. Weigh-in #27 (July 9, 2023) - This was a horrible week. I lost 0.1 lbs, that's terrible :( It could have been worse. I weighed in at 269.7 lbs. Weigh-in #28 (July 16, 2023) - Another bad week. I lost 0.3 lbs, yikes :( Let's push on though. I weighed in at 269.4 lbs. Weigh-in #29 (July 22, 2023) - This was much better, and what I like to see. I lost 2.6 lbs. Weighing in at 266.8, yay, let's keep going. Weigh-in #30 (July 29, 2023) - Another good Continue Reading
