Saturday it is

So today is Saturday and I am sitting here making appointments to look at houses.  We are looking at three more before we make our choice...I hate moving!

Although I am not officially retired, I am taking all my time over the next few months so the University can have me on call after I train my replacement. I am loving being home, which is surprising. I thought I would go crazy. 

I am trying to stop all the cooking so that I don't gain back the weight I lost. But, I am cooking healthy so it's good. 

So, what's everyone up to?  

Good luck with the house hunting.  I used to move often so it was easy.  No extraneous belongings so easier to pack and move.  Then I spent 8 years in Denver and collected a bunch of junk and I have not been clutter free since.  Now even thinking of moving gives me night terrors but I want out of Houston bad enough to take on the task in the next year or so. It's not   Houston its  just that I want to live somewhere where I don't hurt.

I am loving Wyoming.  Its a little warmer this year than usual and too hot for me but It is dry and I am comfortable.  We've been doing lots of things.  What did you do in Yellowstone and the area?  Hope you had a good time.  Enjoy your retirement.

Today's food plan

breakfast - 2 boiled eggs

lunch - hamburger no bun

snack - grapes

dinner - not sure

Linda,

Other than going to Yellowstone, we only visited one other significant thing and that was the Wild Bill Cody Museum, which is a part of the Smithsonian and it was well worth the money we spent.  Go see it. 

I agree, we bought a family membership.  We have been 6 or 7 times and still have a section of the buffalo bill cody museum to see.  I loved the art museum and the natural history museum. The gun museum was worth it but there are so many guns from so many time periods that after awhile they all blurred together.  Every time I go back I see something new.

I've had a crazy week, and have made some good choices, and some not so good choices.  Still stuck with the sugar addiction.  Been watching the kids a bit.  Colleen's brother-in-law had open heart surgery on Thursday.  He's got a long recuperation period ahead of him.  He's the brother whose wife passed away after their baby was born.  Baby is two now, and Toby won't be able to pick him up for three months.

I'm getting ready for a trip to PA.  Tons to do.

Hugs,

Trish

I would Love to be able to retire..I have so many project that I would love to do.. Or just nothing...

My birthday is coming so we decided to have our summer family and frinds get together at our house. Keith (my BF -SO) did most of the work but I helped of course.. . I did most of the shopping and planning for the party...even restock our liquor cabinet. (it was bare) . 

We only invited 12 people and only one couple could not make it. The party was perfect. Food was great (Keith grilled the sausage and meat) ...

We have lot of leftovers... Some we could freeze for later. Rest - will last at least one week. Food that I may be tempted to eat, that both can hurt my gut and make me gain weight - is packed and put away. Out of sight - out of mind. Eventually.Keith will eat it, or we will toss it.  

I had some fruits for dessert...did not touch cheesecake or tiramisu... Or even whiped cream.  I had some fruits that I normally don't eat (grapes- too much sugar) but I did not have enough to cause issues. Overall - I don't think I ate enough. I was visiting with friends and drank too many diet Pepsi Max (I am addicted to that thing - so we only have that at home when we have people over..) 

Alcohol was there but I was not even tempted. My system responds with a horrible 2+day GERD if I have even a small amount...and that on strong Rx PPI that I take together with OTC PPI.  So not even a glass of wine for me... Some days I miss that. But not today... Really did not want any. 

Tomorrow is a rest day. We probably go to a movie and just chill at home...
