A nice laid back week end here. I got a letter from Harry on Saturday! He seemed in great spirits. It is quite a wile between mail calls so the day he got my letter, he got two from me, 2 from his wife and two from another aunt. He was flying high! Mail is the only high point in their life over there right now. He said it had been so long since he got mail that he thought he was forgotten. As if! I answered it last night, but I am picking him up some goodies to throw in with it and mail it tomorrow.
In other news, I have reached the 10 pound mark on my diet! Down from 154 to 144 and am doing the happy dance. 9 to go and I'll be happy, 14 and I'd be delirious. It's kind of hard sometimes. Watching Terry eat his cereal, or a bowl of ice cream makes my mouth water, but after I lose all the weight, I can have the goodies once in a while. I had a pair of size 10 jeans on Friday that I haven't been able to wear since I bought them. I almost exchanged for a larger size. I'm glad now that I didn't. But though that is a good sign, they are stretch waist. I still have 5 pair of new ones I haven't worn yet that have a regular sip up waist. I WILL be in those by my birthday. I still have 43 days to go. Hell, that's 6 weeks. Yup, I can do it. My problem is the way the weight comes off when I diet. First my back, then my face and last but not least, literally, is my middle. That is the last place it goes. The good news is that I have no butt or hips to speak of, the bad news is it all gathers in the front. It also is an optical illusion, but since my mastectomy, my belly looks bigger. There is nothing to balance it with. I may go get the prothetics after all. Just kidding. I have an exercize thingy you sit with handles and you do bending exercises. It was bought a few years ago. It makes a very nice clothes rack.
Jan coes back to work today and Charlene, tomorrow. It will be back to normal again. I put my vacation up on the calander on Friday. I am taking the week of June 16th off. I have no plans to go anywhere, but I am looking forward to having the week off. I'm due. And that still leaves me with 6 days until October. I think once I put the week up and can know I'm taking it, it helps on days that don't go well. At least it gives me something to look forward to.
Well, I bid you all a great Monday. I have to make my lunch for work and finish dressing my feet. I have to get three packages ready so send out after work. Ahh busy day.
