From Dawn to Dusk... the journal |
Thursday, April 11, 2002 * warm comfortable day... Not a lot to journal about today. Spring is finally here in Texas. It was in the 80's today and will probably be throughout the weekend. I love it when the wind is warm and mild. It kind of 'caresses' you when you walk. Makes me think about warm breezes on a far-away beach... Think I'll definitely get to plant this weekend. I'm late doing this, but couldn't be helped. Even if I had been home, there was too much rain. But I think the time has come. The man who tends our air-conditioners came today. He added freon and checked out the system. We actually don't need it yet, but just getting prepared. I love the windows open and would put off having the air on till June if I could. But DH and Mama don't take the heat well. Not to mention a bummer subject, but April 15th is just around the corner. Time to suck in your belt and pull up your boot straps! ...not real sure what that means, but it seemed appropriate. and on a happier note: Today I realized that I'm only 1.2 lbs. from my goal of losing those extra 14 lbs. I put on after surgery and radiation. And I've come to realize that it wasn't the radiation that caused the weight gain (as I actually believed ), but the sleeping due to lack of energy, hence: lack of exercise, and the eating healthy - but without appropriate supervision and planning. I guess it's good to know that I'm back in control... and I hate it when my favorite comfortable jeans are too tight! Granted I like things loose and comfortable. Mama always got (and still gets after me) for wearing things a size too big... but I've never been one for anything form fitting. And I'm not terribly big on clothes either. Give me a pair of jeans and a long shirt and I'm a happy camper... if it's a special occasion, then it can be a long silk shirt... Going to call it a night. Tomorrow's Friday already. The days sure do fly by. Rian |
