Start with the fact that for the first time in a long, long time, I have lost steadily over the last five days or so. I am officially at 170 pounds total lost – and 110 since surgery almost 37 weeks ago. Yippee! That makes me happy. I have lost 108.75 inches (9 feet, ¾ inch). That makes me happy. And I’m feeling SO MUCH BETTER – the sinus infection seems to have cleared up. (And yes, I will be finishing all of my drugs, just like the doctor ordered.) Also clearing up is the pretty intense gout attack I had over the weekend. More happy!
Saturday, we got our tree all set up – and it is beautiful, even if I do say so myself. We still have lots to decorate, and hopefully we will get most of it done this week – but the tree is the biggest effort, by far. Thanks to our special friends K and C – we got it done in record time! Hope you liked the monkey bread.
We went to a beautiful wedding on Saturday afternoon – and there was an incredible reading, blending Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s, “How do I love thee, let me count the ways” and several Scripture passages. It was beautiful. The reception was at a very nice country club – and the whole thing was quite the event. And the best part? We got to spend time with good friends.
Sunday, of course, was busy, and my husband’s quartet did a great job last night with their CD release concert. All in all, just one of those weekends that leaves you feeling good.
We are in the final countdown before our trip to Canada. Lots and lots to do, and a limited time to get it all done. But we will persevere, and everything will happen, I’m sure!
