The T-shirt didn't fit

Yep the shirt was too big. I brought it out and put it on the back of a chair and it's gone so guess Mac did something with it.. don't know. don't care.

Cant keep up

Well I could but I find other things to do or sometimes I have nothing to write about... But today I got my new bedspreads. How I love to shop online. There's nothing you can't find. Going to store after store after store and no bedspreads were to be found except heavy ones or comforters.. heavy stuff that weighs me down..pulls on my legs, feet and knees and hurts. But what a difference online was. I had a hard time choosing there were so many. Tomorrow I'll take a picture.

Got another new t-shirt today, like as though I needed one. I have so many clothes now it's a shame. I don't wear half of them, but can't bear to throw or give them away. I've already given away most of my good things. I feel my pants and shorts tighter than they were. They still fit but they aren't comfortable. Wanted to lose ten pounds before the reunion, now I'll be lucky if I lose five. I could lose more but I would have to be hungry. Don't like hungry. Hate it. Cannot and will not endure hunger. Guess I just need to change the way I eat... but wait, I have changed the way I eat. I've cut way back on fat, but the problem is I've upped the carbs. Hard because carbs are the only foods that feel good in my tummy.

Woe is me, almost 73 and haven't got this weight thing figured out yet. Oh well I'll do the best I can. J

oh boy, falling down on the job

I haven't posted in a very long time.

Upsetting news yesterday. The couple who lived across the street were found dead in their mobile home. Evidently he killed her and then committed suicide, that's the unofficial word today. It was a zoo around here yesterday with all the commotion. I am stunned with disbelief. Sad. No life should end like that in such a tragic way. I didn't know them, but no one deserves to be that sad or that angry and one has to wonder what was so terrible that made him do such a horrible thing?

I was going to write more about other things but...J

It's been a hard day...

We went grocery shopping and that was good. The weather was beautiful and that was good. I sat on the porch and read a magazine and that was good. I took a short nap and that was good. I ate a dish made with spinach and navy beans for dinner and that was very good. But tomorrow is Kikos birthday.. tomorrow and he isn't here. Not fair. Not fair. He should be here doing all the things he planned, showing everyone the fantastic talent he had... being happy and healthy. He should be here. J

Here it is another day...

And what have I got to show for it? Two more pounds this week than last week that's what.

I'm trying to stay up till 12:30 so I can take my pain pill. Maybe I'll sleep more than 2 hours tonight. Maybe not. I like getting up and going to the recliner to read but last night my leg/knee/hip and back hurt so bad I couldn't read or sleep. Rode the exercise bike today in hopes it would get the oxygen flowing in my blood. Sometimes a person hurts due to lack of exercise.

I'm hungry... how in the world could I be hungry? I know in order to not be hungry I need to eat less carbs. That's what makes me hungry. But that's what keeps my tummy happy too. I'm between a rock and a hard place. What to do,

I've been working on a cookbook. It's hard work. But if I get it done it might be a good gift for my kids for Christmas..

Misc. nothings

Went to see the neurosurgeon for a follow up on the surgery he did on my head. He was very well pleased. He asked some questions and made me do some things like follow his fingers with my eyes, squeeze his hand and stuff like that.. he was pleased and surprised I wasn't in the wheel chair. We didn't even take the wheel chair with us today.

After we got done there we stopped at Elenas for lunch... it was really good and I ate too much. But always nice to see them and they seemed pleased we went. of course we are tired tonight because it is quite a ways to go and come in the same day.

Tomorrow I AM going to get these pictures off the table and into albums. That's my to do for the day. Oh and I'm going to plan some meals ahead. Thats the only way I can lose weight.
