Monday, Monday

Rain is blowing through this morning; so far it's rained everywhere around us, but not actually ON us. Still, rain is good no matter where it is, and it will be change of color for the Sky Scarf.

Nothing new, doing the best I can as the days roll on until I can give notice and start this entirely new life called Retirement. I can hardly wait, although I know that I'm not altogether prepared emotionally for it. And then there's the house, which is resisting my currently half-hearted efforts to pare our stuff down. But life is good, and I believe I'll have another cup o' joe. Anyone?

Good Morning Megan,

Thanks for starting coffee. And thanks for the offer of a cup of joe,but I'm not a coffee drinker. Currently having a glass of water here. Need to drink up that water we should drink everyday. Our body requires it. Coffee by the way ladies is a diuretic, so be sure to drink up water during your day too.

Bit breezy here this morning. Bad hair day But it's mild and I suspect some more snow melt will occur these next two or three days, only to be replaced later this week with some lake effect. Hard to believe it's heading for mid January already and we have anywhere from bare ground to 6 inches depending on where you are.

Gym day today. Don't know what the exercises are today cause last week was my first week and Monday was cancelled due to the snowstorm. Friday was Cardio Party as it is called and a lot of intense moves to get the blood moving and the heart going. Whew. But it feels so good afterwards. I plan to stay with this class till I go back to work in April and then will have to stop till fall again. But my job is physical, so that helps. And I trying to watch what I'm eating too. No sweets, no bread for the most part (keeping it out of the house), no cereal (sugars in all that stuff) and eating lots of veggies and lettuce, pork, chicken, fish and whatever. No fast food either. And eating breakfast every morning. Eggs, bacon or sausage and fruit every other day, hamburg and cottage cheese on the in between days (I know it sounds crazy, but it's protein) and always with fruit, mostly strawberries. Snacking on celery sticks with some cream cheese or just cheese by itself if I feel a snack urge coming on. And Jello is my dinner desert. I think I have lost a pound this past week, but my official weigh day (for me) is Wednesday, so will know then. One doesn't want to lose too fast. Then there's the afternoon doggie walk coming up too. They are going to make sure I get out there and I know I owe it to them too. Have done that every sinice I've owned dogs and lived up here (32 years) and even before moving permanently up here. And hopefully will put the sealer on my sign today, so I can hang it outside before winter (it is winter isn't it?) is over

So, whatever you are getting into today, have fun, especially those of you at the FL GTG together. The rest of us will be waiting to hear all about it. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

My coughing woke me up early this morning. I finally got up and took some medicine and went back to sleep. I need to get up and take something when I first start coughing or my DH is going to be on my butt to go to the doctor. And he might want to give me a shot.

It is warm and gray here this morning. The Texas rain is headed this way and it looks like a lot of it. Guess it will cool off some when the rain comes through. We don't really need any rain, wish Texas could keep all of it.

No plans for today. My son is remodeling a bathroom and I would really like to go see what's going on. 40 miles is a long way to go just to be nosy. I'm still trying to think of an excuse to go.
