I’m having a super nice, quiet day so far.
I did my mile at the gym, ate breakfast with Brian, put my wash out on the drying rack on my balcony, and have been at the computer, catching up on email and doing a bit of research.
It’s hazy this morning, so my windows are closed and air filters on, but it’s light enough to flood my little condo with light and lift my spirits. I plan to at least start painting one of my sketches today and work on my puzzle. (I’m finally making more progress.)

Shout outs to Cathy and Nora today. They are both in tough situations. I’m sending my thoughts and prayers.

I can’t tell you what a thrill it is to be able to walk into a store, be able to choose clothes you HOPE might be big enough, find they ARE – some even TOO big – and walk out of the store with some new clothes.
I’m grateful to Walmart for allowing me to cover my lard for several years, always having things that I KNEW would cover me. I’m even MORE grateful, now that I have lost 93 pounds, not to have to buy my clothes there now. I’m still “covering up” – though in much smaller sizes – but now because a Shar Pei dog looks like my sibling now.

In my current status as ‘much-pampered-lady,’ I will enjoy the mocha that my son, Brian, orders for me when we’re home, rather than out for the day, and I will sip that with a smile as I start painting a sketch…

Have a lovely day. You are looking well.
I did painting of the back room yesterday. Just the walls. I plan to gloss the skirting frames today. But I first need to get the gloss in. So, I might have breakfast out before doing that.

My walls are how as I want and I have my gloss now. In cafe before home.
I am getting some jobs done before one day moving. I rent.
I am after moving areas one day. So just want to make sure house ok to get deposit back when that time comes.

Yes. I am organised and fairly busy. But motivation was lacking partly. But it has to be done.
