Today is a gloomy overcast day here in central Texas. After setting record highs, we’re down at 62 and very windy today. I keep telling myself that I don’t really need to dig out my coat quite yet but I’m pretty chilled!

I was scheduled for a 10:30 eye exam but when I got there I was told that my appointment was actually at 1:00 this afternoon.…[Read more]

This is a busy week for me. I have an eye appointment on Tuesday and my support group meeting in Temple on Thursday.

My goals are to make it to the meeting as I missed it last month. I’m also wanting to pre-plan my meals. I’ve fallen back into the habit of grabbing a shake or a bar for at least two meals a day and need to stop that.

I still have…[Read more]

Today started off well enough. I did the week’s grocery shopping and that’s when things went a bit crazy. My son called while I was at the store asking me to go to his house as quickly as possible. It seems that while my daughter in law was putting the 6 month old down for a nap, the 2 year old decided to take a walk all by himself. When my DIL…[Read more]

I have no idea what today will bring. We’re about to walk out the door and drive up to Greenville and McKinney areas to see if we can stand to live either place for the foreseeable future (5-6 years before retirement).

Snacks and drinks are packed. I know hubby will want to stop in West on the way for a kolache. I’ll have a cup of decaf coffee if…[Read more]

Apparently I only though I posted yesterday!

Today’s not been the greatest of days. I haven’t exactly felt bad, but I sure haven’t felt good either. I’m having a hard time sleeping and it’s definitely catching up on me. On the good side of things, we’ve finalized our plans for the new floors, carpet and paint colors. Now all we need to do is get…[Read more]

Happy Halloween! It’s a cold, dreary day here in central Texas. We’re forecasted for rain this afternoon and a downpour tonight. My son and his family were supposed to go to “Boo at the Zoo” tonight but I figure they’ll be staying home. Either way, my husband and I are going to their house for a while this evening. I have to go visit the two baby…[Read more]

Not a lot happening today. I need to return some flooring samples back to the design center. I’m prepping lunches for my husband for the week. Things are starting to happen at his work. One on one interviews are starting. We hear that things are moving slowly and we probably won’t hear anything about what’s going on with a new position until…[Read more]

Today has been a somewhat lazy day for me. I slept in just a touch and my husband and I have just sat and talked. We get so caught up with life that we don’t do this nearly often enough. Now, I’m about to go give him a haircut and later he’s talking about going out to dinner. He says we (me) need to get out and into the sunshine. He’s probably…[Read more]

Getting the front bedrooms cleaned out so we can get a window replaced.

Getting my eating back on track

Steps and liquids

Trying to get to bed earlier. Not that I’m going to bed late now, but maybe earlier will help. Then again, it may just give me more time to toss and turn.

I have to admit, it’s starting to feel a little lonesome in the forum!

Today we’ve settled on all the flooring and almost the carpet (there’s one carpet color my husband wants me to see before we finalize that) and all the paint colors. WOOHOO!! Progress!

We are both feeling very tired these days. Today, I feel like I’m slogging through thick…[Read more]

This has been a very long week and while I’d like to say it’s over, the weekend looks to be just as long!

Finishing up picking out the new floors for most of the house. Now, a decision on carpet and we’ll finally be able to move forward on the rest. Paying bills and picking up something to cook in the oven. We’ve gone from a high of 84 yesterday…[Read more]

Slow day for me today. Errands are run, laundry is in process and dinner is already fixed. (confession time… When I was at the grocery store I bought a Mexican grilled chicken meal. It always make my husband happy and I don’t have to cook!) Fluids are half done and so are my steps.

Breakfast was an Unjury shake

Lunch was a shrimp cocktail with…[Read more]

Good Morning!

My dog got me up before the alarm went off and I felt like there was really no point in going back to bed. It’s paid off for my husband though. He’s got really nice lunches made for the rest of the week. And I have a sink full of pots, pans and cooking utensils to wash. But I have to admit, 5:30 AM is a very peaceful time to…[Read more]
