It was an okay week. I'm pretty well past the con lag, I think, although I still want a nap most days. Maybe that's the new normal.
Writing: I wrote a little over 4,000 words. It went pretty well except when Jeli stepped on the power button on my power strip and shut the computer off, and I didn't realize I hadn't saved about 500 words. I think the reconstruction was stronger anyway.
Clutter: I got irritated the other day and spent about 2 hours cleaning. It looks better, but it's heading back toward not better, thanks to a certain person and her boyfriend. We're about to have words. I'm going to get another load together for Good Will, and I ordered some padded china storage thingies so I can move the bone china out of the china cabinet and ease some overcrowding. The trouble there is family heirlooms. My brother and step-sister trash everything, so I got the important stuff, and there's quite a bit. I don't feel right about selling it or giving it away until I find out if my kids want it and while my mom is still alive. Hopefully I'll be saddled with it for a long time! I have to get things kicked into gear this week. We have a lot of family coming in next month for Vicky's graduation.
Health: Finally got past the block and lost 2 more pounds. That puts total loss at 11. When I lose 8 more I'll assess how my clothes are fitting. If they're all right, I'll likely go to maintenance. If I'm going to have to go down another size, I'll do 5 more and re-assess. I thought about going down to pre-pregnancy weight, but I decided not to. It's been almost 22 years, and I was pretty skinny then. I want to have a little meat on my bones, just not as much as I did.
Misc: I told Vicky if the boyfriend doesn't find a permanent place to live in the near future, he's not getting his cat back. She must have passed the word on because he's moving back to his last place. Apparently the guy he had the falling out with moved out so it looks like Jeli will be moving pretty soon. She'll be back to visit for a day or so next month. Vicky wants my parents to meet their great-grandkitten.
UPDATE: I was talking with Vicky this afternoon, and apparently, they don't want Jeli living in the house the boyfriend is moving back into. She doesn't get along with the owner's cats, so she'd be isolated in his room when she has the run of the house here. They're also concerned about her getting fleas, so she's staying here for the foreseeable future. I told her I might let him have her back once she gets into the boring cat stage!

Everything was set right. As the admin, it would let me edit it, so I opened the post in edit mode, checked the settings, and republished it. It's letting me comment now. Odd.
Congrats on getting past the block! I fear I may be approaching a block, but I'm determined to work through it.
Hubby commented today that if I keep going, I'll have to buy new clothes. I told him I was probably good for two or three more sizes, but then, yes, I would have to get some. I figure I'm safe for about sixty more pounds, but I'd be happy to have to get new clothes before then.
You approach for deciding when to go on maintenance sounds right to me.
Good luck at getting everything ready for the graduation party. It's coming up pretty fast, isn't it?
Graduation is a little less than a month away. I'm not positive, but I think she's had her last full week of school. I have to give her a lot of credit; she's not giving in to senioritis. Her grades have slipped into several C's and she's working to bring them back up to B's.
Sounds like you're making a lot of progress, Wendy. I'm both jealous and happy for you! No, mostly just happy for you!
Hang in there Wendy! Congrats on the progress and if you ever figure out what to do with family heirlooms that take up too much of your space, please let me know! {{huggs}}
I'll keep you in mind, Tammy, but not until after you find out if you're moving.
