Yes Friday has indeed arrived. And only how many more days until Christmas as someone cheerfully told me yesterday.
was derailed by an unexpected birthday celebration at work but then again I chose to put the cake down my throat. Calories 1342. And only walked 7 562 steps.
scale not budging.
happy Friday everyone.
123-something today
LAST DAY OF WORK BEFORE 2 WEEK VACATION! Much to do! I can hear my heart pounding in my ears --- perhaps from a deliberate caffeine overload. Better to indulge in caffeine than a donut.
I hope all you school-types seize your summer with gusto! I think of what parents/students put you thru during the school year and it seems like you need a summer of massages and good care to recover.
Have a great Friday :)

Hey skinny teachers
So fun to read all the comments about end of school year. I was never a teacher but always remember the excitement of the last day of school. Neighbor lady has a daughter who must be middle school age. They had what must have been an end of school party last weekend. They have a trampoline and all those kids had a ball jumping. The mothers will all on the deck having a great time. It was fun to listen too plus seeing the kids as they jumped higher than the fence. Made me wanna go jump but I know I would kill myself.
Well back at 130 today. However if I spend some "quality time" in the potty that could change. Eating too many cheese sticks these days for convenience.
Siders have moved to the front of the house which is the final frontier. Should be good. Hubby is off in search of boxes to ship stuff to sisters. It keeps him busy in his grief and its good to get rid of stuff. Lots of errands for me today and gotta photograph art for upcoming show.
Sounds like everyone has a hopeful attitude for the future. Hold those thoughts. Having been through a few big storms recently I can see the sun coming out and life being good. Diane S

Oh my goodness it's Friday! Now EVERY DAY IS FRIDAY!! Woohoo! So excited for all of us running up to vacations! Shel, can't wait to compare glamping experiences too!
We can hardly believe we've pulled this off. Started talking about the RV toy hauler plan last December and low and behold - after a lot of planning, risk tolerance and work, we've accomplished it. This week we are very close to Calgary, in the foothills of the Rockies, so we can complete outstanding appointments and other business before leaving the area.
Also testing out our setup and equipment this week to ensure we are in good stead for living in this thing beyond a few days. All kinds of new things to set up (eg satellite tv, ramp deck fencing, storage space) but it's kinda fun.
Pulled out the scale this morning and weighed 112. I'm sure there will be some variance with slight leveling differences but it's good to see the numbers and ensure I stay in the ballpark.
Peace out, my friends.
