Slow, but at least I was moving. Hope to build up some speed and distance. would love to get to the point when I used to run 8 min miles for 5 miles at a time. I miss those days. I'll be content if I can get to a 10 min. mile pace at three miles. that's my goal for the next few weeks.

I have a long list of things to get done this week and only got a small amount done today. I went to the grocery store and it felt like I was in there forever! I did cook Hubby his requested belated dinner. Washed, dried and folded the laundry but did not get it put away. I have been having a bad headache. On top of that Gretchen, the older Schnauzer has been feeling strange again. Last night around 1 AM she decided to start eating my face. I got up with her...

I'm hoping and praying that this weekend goes good for everyone. I know some of you have loss to deal with so I pray that you are comforted on this day. I'll probably see my father/family for a little bit. I'm going to try to keep that peaceful and short. And, I may get to see an old friend too. I'm really hoping I see him because it's been years and it would be good to se him again. We'll see if his schedule allows for it. Oth...

I walked for 30 minutes last night (about 1.75? miles) and I plan to walk another 30 minutes today and so on. I cannot jog or run because the last few times I have tried that, I have fallen flat on my face. Ugh! Gonna try to keep this habit up especially after what I have been learning about bariatric surgery. Double ugh! Good luck, start out slow, and keep us posted. :)...

I am on Adderall for fatigue. I take 20 mg per day. Have been on it for almost a year now. It does help but even that dose does not make the fatigue completely go away.

So sad that my dear friends are not doing well. Boo to that! Susan, so sweet of you to think of us, even when you are not well. Wish that I could report good news but I feel horrible. Still had t.o go get puppy food. Can't let them run out. They might chew my fave at night. HA! Also had to go get paint to paint the garage. I ordered a paint gun to make the chore less of a chore.

Wanting to fire everybody I know...ha ha. But, with some good reason. And just glum in general. But, today was a better day. Thank goodness. I think my Wellbutrin stopped working.

Glad that you get to keep the car. Weddings do have a way of running away on you. I was lucky because my daughter got married at the courthouse with just Hubby and I there. Good luck on the house hunting. Woo Hoo! Won't that be nice. Susan, I hope that you did not overdo it packing today. Today I helped Hubby a little and went to the grocery store.
