For some reason I just didn't feel like doing a thing yesterday, and just sat around the house. I did get to the gym this afternoon and had a quick workout, which I really needed.
Today (other than going to the gym) I have spent most of the day doing laundry and bringing some genealogy up to date. I have quite a lot of entries to make and it takes time to type them, proofreading as I go.
I think the pain in my shins is definitely due to the shoes I wear, mostly Birkenstocks, which have never before given me a moment's trouble. The runners I wear some of the time also cause slight pain in my shins. I don't have it at all when I go barefoot. I HATE going barefoot - I think I must have been about 4 yrs old when I stepped on a bee. From that day I wear shoes outside as well as indoors. I would like to resume walking with a little jog thrown in, but wonder about my shoes.
I weigh myself when I go to the gym, and I gained 6 oz since my last visit. I've just started keeping records, but it looks like I'm gaining 6-8 oz a week. I'm happy with that, and have about 8# to my target weight.
I'd like to thank Nancy for her link to "Clothespin Art", and also Judilyn for suggestions on art supplies to go with the clothespins. I'm going to visit Michael's soon and see what I can pick up. The kids will be so surprised. When I hung my clothes on the line today I found so many pins that were decorated with tiny little flowers and things drawn on them with markers. They are so cheerful and make a repetitive task fun, wondering what I was going to pull out of the bag next.
A few days ago the weather forecast was for some reasonable (80's) temps this coming week. They fibbed, and now it looks like a week or longer of temps close to or in the 100's. But for this evening it looks like the beautiful Delta breeze will keep things cooled off.
- Weird Weather
At Noon today it was 66 degrees and breezy enough to be wonderfully chilly! It isn't supposed to get over 82 which will be comfortable, but look out for the next few days as the thermometer makes a steady climb! My new bathroom scale arrived...
- Woke Up With The Sun!
This morning I woke up with the sunlight streaking into my room. What a beautiful sight! Yesterday evening the wind and rain were fierce, and at one point it actually pulled my side door open, and the crash of the door against the railing...
- Stay Home For A Change
I decided that today I would stay home and get some work done that I've been putting off doing. Three loads of laundry was at the top of my list. I pulled a clean bath towel from the linen cupboard this morning and it was line-dried, stiff...

My frustrations started first thing when I went to a local credit union to withdraw cash from their ATM. My credit union is not affiliated with this one, and they charged me $2.50. It would have been a 16 mile roundtrip to drive to the one...
- Post Op
Jeannie took me to my post op this morning, and my mood has been swinging wildly for the last few days anyway, nearly driving me crazy today. I've gone through periods of wanting to just sit and cry, as well as those of just plain depression. ...
