Week 15

We're 15 weeks into 2011. Here's what's been going on:

Polar Bear on the Loose (Revision, using How To Revise Your Novel):  Still working on Lesson 7, and I made progress on four days this week.

750words.com: I've written at least my 750 words each day and have a current streak of 305 days.  I still need to write today, but that shouldn't be a problem.

Internet Responsibilities:
- I blogged once this week.

Pets:
- Millie and Dazzle both like being in San Antonio.  The back yard is better configured for them.  They have the whole yard to roam.

AMENDMENT:
- Lady and Tarzan, after the initial shock of new surroundings after being in Central Texas, have adjusted to being back in San Antonio
- Hubby took Lady outside yesterday morning with intent to continue his work getting the kittens adjusted to the dogs (something we failed to do when they were very young).  He sat down on the step.  Lady was calm.  Dazzle wandered over to say hello (she is the matriarch, after all, and has her responsibilities).  For the first instant, we both thought Lady was going to be fine.  Then the buzzsaw was unleashed.  Dazzle is fine, but hubby's forearms are hamburger.  We cleaned him up right away, and he's healing quickly, but that little kitty is not harmless.
- Natasha was lounging on a kitchen chair this afternoon.  Ajax happened by and put his front paws on the cushion to sniff.  Natasha began to hiss in response, but before she could, Tarzan leapt onto the chair, forming a barrier between Natasha and Ajax.  Natasha stopped in mid-hiss, Ajax removed his paws from the chair, and after he walked away, Tarzan jumped down and returned to his chair, curled up, and went back to sleep.  Hubby and I were properly amazed.

Property:
- Hubby is almost done refurbishing the critical parts of the SA back yard fence.
- I'll begin dragging watering hoses tonight.

Health:
- No recumbent riding this week -- or for the next two weeks.  I have gotten lots of outdoor work done, and that's where most of my efforts will be for the next couple weeks.

- I have now lost 17.8 pounds (three bags of flour) on the WW program and mostly an inch and a half on all the measurements.  For those of you following at home, that translates to gaining a half pound this week.  That follows my pattern for this effort.  I did lose a slight amount on the measurements end of things. I anticipate next week or the week after to be better.
- I logged 19.31 miles for Walk Across Texas.

So Millie and Dazzle are happy, but Lady and Tarzan aren't? Or have they adjusted, too?

Great job on the weight loss. I haven't tried the recipes you've recommended yet, but I do plan to.

Thanks for the reminder. I amended the post to reflect the kitty status.

Three bags of flour! Awesome!

And I am so impressed with your 305 days of words.
