Manic Monday

Ok, not really...........but aren't all Mondays just a bit more manic than the last? I haven't discussed this as of yet......but feel I must include you in the grand farewell........tomorrow I am going to have a mole removed from my back.........not just any mole mind you..........but one I have taken to calling Bertha as of late.........she is a woolly looking thing.......somewhere between mole and wart.........both of which I am not prone to getting......so imagine my shock when she appeared about 8 months ago........So I have to say......Good Riddance Bertha.......have a nice life in the petri dish! wish I could say that I will be missing her..........but.........errrrrrr......not so much! She is soooooooooooooo not going on this vacation like she did the last one!

So that will begin my Tuesday......which this week can also be considered Thursday thankfully because of the big holiday quickly approaching. Duane and I decided to do the traditional dinner this year, so it will be a day of feasting....and I plan to partake, on a smaller scale than last year......but I plan to have a bit of everything..........YUMMMMM

The transition is going well, I think........some clothing is loosening up and some has become just more comfortable.....it's a slow process, but so far it has been fairly painless.......again, I think this has to do with eating what I want to when I eat and not depriving myself........I have had a few moments of panic where hunger has tried to invade my sane state........but I just try to busy myself with something else until it passes. I have decided to not stress myself with the eating and the holidays...........I am just going to partake in things but at a reasonable level. A little of everything seems to be working for me mentally.........more than the food of the holidays......I should be more concerned with the alcohol.....seems I have more opportunity to partake during the holidays than most any other time.............I am told it is the secret death to a sensible eating plan....but I think if you drink enough.........you just won't care........LOL ~

I have managed to get one closet out of three under control........hopefully I can be finished with this project before we go on vacation as it is long overdue........Thank you Duane for putting up what with can only be described as a complete disaster in our bedroom for a few days last week. Someone set off the clothing bomb..........but Goodwill and hopefully someone deserving will be benefiting from this reorganization of the closets.

There is this GIANT fly trapped in the house and it is driving me crazy.........can you tell?

I guess I better get used to insects and flies again since I will be squarely in the midst of the jungle less than 2 weeks from today...........YAYYYYY

Well if I do not update you soon enough........have a happy Holiday with family and friends.....and be safe out there.........lots of nuts on the road!!
