I don't know what to write about, don't have a theme. I guess I will just update on the ongoing themes of my life since that's about all that's going on.
The insulation job is nearly done, you'd think we'd be way warmer but we are not. Today they put in a sliding glass door and that should help a lot. I am excited about it because the old one was awful and we got the roll the cost into the insulation loan or we otherwise could have never afforded one. The new materials kind of smell funny so I will be glad when that wears off.
Little G man is doing great. He is better and better all the time, and my mom said the other day she feels like he is "back". I was glad to hear that. I am not quite there yet, but I know we are close. We are weaning him off the keppra which I know has to be helping. He's doing just awesome. He will start therapy soon for the stuttering which should help a lot too.
The wood stove still sits unusable in our living room. It's frustration to the max. I did speak with some one at the manufacturer of the stove who was encouraging. We'll see. We also got an estimate on having it moved to a location where we can safely use it. It wasn't as much as we expected, so if something does not happen soon with the dealer we bought it from, we will simply move it and actually be able to use it. That will put the investment even higher, but at this point it's ridiculously high for something we can not use.
The new sliding door smell like cow manure. There I said it.
I was going to try earnestly to lose another 20lbs this winter. I thought I'd jump on the New Year's wagon and use it to my advantage. I dropped 9lbs like nothing, but have gained 5 back like nothing too. I don't know what exactly is going on with me. I am a bit flummoxed. I am just going to keep plugging along though. We'll see. I sure do like food.
You're funny. I can't, or dont' lose weight unless I am not thinking about it or trying. If I think about it, I only gain; food is all I can think about... Same with fast days. I can't fathom how a day when all I think about is food from waking to going to bed can possibly be spiritually enriching - but there we are.
ReplyDeleteManure? That sounds unlikely (and funny) - like gas, or something, is what I'd imagined.
PS - I think you need a winter photo for your header!
