Been writing, been exercising, been working at modifying my diet to get back on plan. Sewing some, sleeping probably too much, watching football.
I'm a Steelers fan (we suck this year, possibly worse than we dis last year) and since they aren't playing any midwest teams, I probably won't get to see them on TV except Sunday Night Football on Nov 2 when they play (and will likely lose to) the Ravens, then again Dec 21 when they'll also likely lose to the Chiefs. With a lack of televised games, I've started listening to them online via Steelers Radio Network. It's aggravating in some ways, I'm more visual than auditory, but I can do other things like sew while the game is on and I'm not tied to the television. So that's good, Just wish they weren't so sucky.
We've been doing more community things. Last weekend was the Lions Club Pancake Breakfast - I made scrambled eggs for about 5 hours - and this weekend we're putting flags up to decorate the route to the cemetery for an airman who was shot down over the Battle of the Bulge. His remains - along with those of his crewmates - were discovered a few years ago and just identified via DNA this year. It's fascinating and humbling and tragic. He was just a kid, it happened during the first attack flight... Such a waste. Our local Fire Department put the word out on FB that they were looking for volunteers to help, and they needed folks with pickups. We fit both criteria. Anyway, that all starts in a couple of hours and it'll be a good thing to do.
I don't feel like I'm accomplishing much, but as I look back over the week I'm actually doing pretty well. Managed to do some sewing, some writing, quite a lot of cleaning, cooked every day, lost 4 lbs, exercised... I don't know why I always feel like a lazy bum. The reality is I'm not.
Therapy is going all right, she's being easy on me as I prep for the conference at the end of the month. I am rather stressed about that. I have panels scheduled, a reading, books to sell, clothes picked out, the hotel's booked, so everything's set and ready to go, but I'm still anxious. Back into the pool I go.
That's about it, I guess. Can't wait for political season to be over. Very sick of the ads, mail, and phone calls.
Have a happy week, everyone! {{hugs}}

Ever since the Steelers dashed my Vikings Super Bowl hopes the year we moved to Eastern Ohio (and my folks took me on the house hunting trip to Ohio over Super Bowl weekend, I've detested the Steelers. But I respect your right to love them. :) My preferences are Vikings, Packers, Bears, and whomever is playing the Cowboys. Since Mr. L doesn't like sports, I haven't been following most sports (with the exception of the Spurs -- he tolerates them for me).
Here's your solution to the political muck. Buy another house. Move there but don't make it your legal residence. Remove the home phone from your legal residence. Use that as your voting address. Then, all you have to do is shovel the campaign flyers into the shredder and recycle them. It works for us, anyway. ;)
