Well, phooey - that's how sleeping 11 hours one night can mess with your sleep the next night. Not to mention how frustrating it is to have to weigh in at 1:30 am. Nonetheless, I'll start us off today.
It's good to hear everyone's news, whether long or short. Bonnie Miss150, I'm thinking of you and hoping your news is good. David, have you had your back surgery yet? Thinking of you, too. And yes, DianeO - I think your RV does need a name! :)
I'm glad none of us live in Florence's path. I have friends in South and North Carolina, and they are preparing for a long, wet, sweaty recovery. I've been through that and do not like it!
All is going well here. My ongoing focus on uncluttering and un-procrastination has resulted in a more orderly house and life, and every day more stuff is just plain gone. And I'm not "killing snakes," as DH was fond of describing my approach to dealing with big projects. I usually spend no more than half an hour every day dealing with stuff, but that's enough to make good progress. The best part is that I feel less anxious about sorting through drawers, closets, cabinets and to-do lists I've ignored for years. As I'm sure y'all appreciate, it takes a lot of energy to keep procrastinating on even silly stuff. Thank you, www.zenhabits.com.
That's all I got. :)
Today's theme: I will do today what I must do today.

I saw your post and wondered what the heck Ann was doing up at this time of the night! I slept for 10 hours last night (after a 5 hour night).
It is raining here right now but supposed to clear this afternoon and be cooler (it has been in the 80s).
Yesterday we had a city tour, but today we are on our own which is just as well. We can get some places to go to from our local tour person.
Below is the street the cafe we ate at last night is on (Rue Cler). Have a thoughtful Thursday!

Thanks, Ann. Your well wishes mean a lot as do everyone's.
Am literally out the door this moment. But just wanted to post-
138.8 - Just for the yucks of it.
goal!!! August 20, 2013 age: 59 High weight: 345 (June, 2011) Consult weight: 293 (June, 2012) Pre-Op: 253 (Nov., 2012) Surgery weight: 235 (Dec. 12, 2012) Current weight: 145

Every once in a while, things just fall into place !! Our back yard lawn ended where the grass ends, and it went up hill in clay, rock and roots to the back fence. The asphalt guy said he'd dump some of the soil he needed to remove for the pad in the front out back. I pictured a pile in one corner, with ruts in the lawn from the tractor. Not only was there a generous amount of soil, but he smoothed and feathered the entire fence line and the ruts !! A bit of raking, and we'll be ready to seed !!!
RV update. The refrigerator/freezer and radio system have to be replaced. The hydrolic leveling system was put in incorrectly, with the back stabalizers in the front and vice versa. One light is being replaced. They have to keep our RV a couple of more days, providing us with a safe place to store it while the pad begins to cure. We can't park on it for a week, and we are supposed to be camping Monday - Thursday.
I'm not making a statement about how consistent my weight has been EVER AGAIN. Lots of lymphedema issues and up eight pounds since Monday. I may have to wrap my leg tonight.... first time in 5-6 months. I'm not stressin too much, actually too excited about the back lawn, and working on that !!

166.4
Shocked it wasn't higher because I met up with girlfriends for Chinese food last night. And no matter what you order...sodium. Turns out Becca was a great diet wingman by squawking every time I put her down and attempting to grab any plate or utensil that was within her reach.
Feeling a bit "meh" today. I know I really enjoyed my body last year before getting pregnant. And I absolutely know I'll be happier with it. But just feeling lethargic about the idea of doing anything about the status quo
