Foggy morning and more rain to come

I woke up earlier than normal I believe it was because Jesus was talking to me.

“Jesus woke me up this morning to say this. We have to be honest with ourselves and others. What does that mean? We have to stop thinking one thing and saying something else because we are afraid we will upset someone. Jesus wants us to be honest to a fault. We have to be honest with ourselves first, then we have to be honest with all that we are around. We go against His will if we try to put on a Good face for others by not telling them what we really feel. 

To be Politically correct is being a fraud, which is being a liar. No really think about that for a moment, what does that make all of our politicians and public leaders, it makes them liars and even worse in the eyes of Jesus. We have to be honest not only with ourselves and with God we have to be honest with all that are around us.

And with that said, this country is in a bad place in the eyes of God.”

I do believe that this is the only way we should be in life, honest to a fault. 

Yesterday I raked a lot of leaves and bagged them. The fence guys were here and got most of the fence done before the rain started. They still have the drive through gate to install then the guys can have the run of the place. 

I did not weigh this morning due to not wanting to wake Linda. It is not going to hurt not weighing this one time. I did eat fairly good yesterday so I am not that worried. 

Today being rainy we are planning to go to Wednesday Church services, then if it is not raining too bad I am going to my sisters to get a haircut.

Cloudy and warm for this time of year

It is cloudy and warm and I am raking and bagging more leaves. 

My weight was down this morning by about a pound and a half. I believe it was mostly the sweating I did yesterday raking and bagging leaves. It sure was not my eating yesterday. My wife and I was both busy so we decided to go out for steak night and the Home Plate. We both had the rib eye steaks, and I got a baked potato and okra. I did not eat it all and we both have enough for another meal each in take home. 

Here I am raking leaves and spring is trying to spring forth with new growth and new life. We are expecting more rain starting tonight and they say we are in for another round of flooding. They also say that we are expected to see another 5 inches or more of rain. The creeks, rivers, and lakes are already full and over flowing. Thank goodness we leave on the top of the hill. 

Not much left to say I do need to get back to my raking and bagging. 

I am tired, and it was a beautiful day.

Today was very beautiful and I got some work done in the yard. I raked and bagged leaves that should have been done in the late fall and winter but we were not here that early. I bagged 6 big yard bags of leaves which really does not even get me started good, I would say there are more than likely about another 30 or 40 bags to be bagged. Also the fence guys were here and started doing the fence. About all was done there was the corner post. And the Tuff Shed guy was here and fixed our doors, they could not be opened this morning. 

My weight this morning was up to 194, and I am the fault for that, I over did it last couple of weeks with way too many sweets. I will get it back down but it will take some time.

Linda is still having problems getting well, it has me worried. 

Again I am very tired and I am going to shower and take an Advil and go to bed early. Before it starts raining tomorrow I need to get more leaves bagged. 

With the weather getting warmer I sure wish they would get the fence in so we can go and get the scooters. So I can get out and ride to the trails and walk. 

Beautiful and sunny day for a change

It is cool this morning but the sun is shining. Yesterday was a very wet and stormy day. Linda was sick all day. And I am not sure how she is this morning. I believe she is not eating enough, and that she is just having a really hard time getting over the walking pneumonia. As for as me I have had a very bad week in the eating department. I have not been able to get out and walk and it has been so bad I have not even done much on the house. I have to get back on track and now. 

The fence guy did call and the hope is to get started on the fence Monday morning. I am hoping to be able to do some walking as I can tell even though my weight is holding I am going to be in trouble very soon if I do not get back out and walk. 

I also want to get over and get my scooter, but I know due to the distance is it is best if we get both at the same time and that will not e until late March or early April.

So the plan is to get back on my eating and stop eating so much sugar. Sure I have to have some but not what I have been doing lately. 

Fogy morning and a rainy week

This week has been filled with things to do, places to be, and items to receive. We have had rain and flooding in the lower areas, not an issue here on top of the 1250 foot hill. Denzel has had surgery and will be going home this morning. I have been to the hospital to be with my sister while Denzel is being operated on. We have ordered and received most of what we need to get started with our scooters. They have been here to install the blinds on our windows, but 2 windows sets did not have the needed hardware so that will have to be done as soon as the hardware gets here.

The weather is looking like it will break enough they can install the fence come Monday, I am sure our guys will like that so they do not have to be on a leash anymore. We are slowly getting the house together and now we can get the Jeep in the garage. Still lots of boxed in the garage but we are slowly making progress. 

I was starting to do really good with my weight but went for Mexican Food Thursday night and now I am paying for that extra salt. It will come off it just will take time.

We are expecting storms today as the weather gets ready to give us a few really nice days. I hope you saw my previous blog where I show the pictures of my scooter all decked out.

Updated Pictures of my Scooter

The scooter now has the windshield, and front and rear racks.

It is raining

Woke up this morning to a flash flood warning. It just means that the low lands well below my home could be in trouble. At 1250 feet above sea level we are safe and it is fun to see the waterfalls that are created as water comes down the road ditch in front of the house. I also feel sorry for the trash men today as we are still unpacking and there is a lot to be picked up. 

Weight wise I am holding at 191.4, which does surprises me seeing I have not been that good at eating correctly, and I have not been doing my walks. I guess it is just that I am busy enough with the house and unpacking that I am burning enough off to make up for my eating. I would like to get back down to around 188 again and I will work on that more as the house is put together and I can make time to walk, and hopefully the weather allows me to. 

I am getting a little impatient at getting my scooter so I can explore the area. But with all of the rain and colder weather I know I would not be out riding much anyway. 

It is time to do some work around the house. 

I have been busy.

Yesterday was busy making room in the garage so our handy man could put up our hanging shelf. I moved a lot of stuff around and took more things to the shed. I also installed the MyQ garage door remote. Now I can open and close the garage door from my iPhone or Apple Watch. Yes, I know but I still like technology, and it will come in handy with the scooters. We have finally made enough room in the garage that we can get our Jeep in the garage, just in time for a major rain maker here. The weatherman is saying we should get about 6 inches of rain over then next few days. 

I am being a bad boy when it comes to eating, my weight is holding ok but I expect to see some gain. I need to cutback, and I am telling myself to, but I am eating way too much of the wrong things at this time. I know it is due to stress and the fact that I am working to help get this house in order. And the weather is not allowing our fence guy to install our fence so we can allow our dogs to come and go. We have the doggy door installed and we just need to get the fence up so they can come and go as they need to. 

I am getting excited about getting the Vespa scooters, I am wanting to get out and explore the area. I am also wanting to be able to explore the trails and really get our and walk again. 

We just received our helmets, part of the items needed to convert our trailer to a scooter hauler. We will get the needed parts which is the front wheel chokes on Thursday. I am not for sure but I believe my helmet is the same color as my scooter. 

A foggy and cold morning and day

Church service was great this morning. We had steak and eggs for breakfast. And my sister and brother in law came by for a visit. Linda was upset that the house is not just perfect yet for them to see the house. I am try to say that we have made a lot of head way and we even have a lot more work to do. So do not get so upset. Linda is someone that is so impatient about things. I use to be so impatient also but I am slowly getting to the point it does not bother me that much anymore.

Weight wise I was the same this morning as yesterday. I guess it has been my weight loss and maintenance that has taught me to be more patient. 

As for as the scooters go. We have ordered what we need to take our old golf cart trailer and make it into a scooter hauler. We have also ordered our helmets and riding gloves. Linda is also looking at getting a riding suit because she gets so cold. And I may look at one also. My scooter will be reading to pick up next week but we cannot go get it until we get the fence around the back yard so our dogs (guys) can use the doggy door to get in and out of the house. It will be an all day trip to get the scooters and get back home.

Raining this morning

It is raining this morning, but this house is built such as you cannot hear the rain. 

Yesterday I started moving stuff from the garage to the new shed. I managed to get the shelves in the shed and some of the stuff out of the garage. I also managed to build the 5 plastic shelves I got from Home Depot. 

Yesterday morning we made the down payment on my Vespa and asked the dealer to find the one Linda wants. That one is just now leaving the factory in Italy. We will not have it here until early April. We are getting windshields and racks on the front and back of both scooters. I posted pictures of my scooter from pictures that the dealer send me in the previous post. 

My weight this morning is down just a little. I am cutting back but I am having a hard time with my weight due to not being about to walk. It seems that the activity of unpacking and getting this house together is not enough to off set my normal budget. So I have resorted to cutting back in my calories. I made a huge mistake for a while also of eating way too much sweets. I am also going to try and drop on down to around 185, while I am at it. I know that may not happen but I can work at it. 

I hope I am not too old to be a kid again.

I have just put my money where my mouth has been when I was saying I was going to get a Scooter.

This is a Vespa GTS300 Super sport the color is Grigio Titanio and when I pick it up it will have a windshield and front and real racks, so I can us it to go get the small stuff like milk, etc.  We are waiting to see if the dealer can find the color  my wife is wanting. But we both will have them by April we hope.

We have my wife's GTS 300 ordered and it will be here about the 1st of April.

A great day for our Anniversary

We had a great anniversary today, lunch at the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, then a bath and massage. Lunch was blacken salmon over a spinach salad, it was great. The bath was great in the hot springs. I have never had a massage until today and I will have another message soon.

Dinner was egg drop soup, with spinach in it. I also am having a beer to celebrate our anniversary. 

The Tuff shed was built in our back yard today and it took longer than the guys thought it would they were here by 9:00am and did not leave until about 1:45 this evening. Now maybe I can get some things out of the garage so we can put to car in the garage. 

Cloudy, foggy, and wet

The next 10 days has rain in it everyday. At least the temperature will stay above freezing.  This weather sure makes it hard to get my activity in, and to get things unpacked. To that end I have gained or it looks like if have gained up to 192.5. It is still well below what I was averaging back in 2013, when I was at my lowest at that time. But I do not want to gain it all back and I do want to get this extra weight off. To that end I have adjusted my loseit plan to a goal weight of 185, and I have adjusted my calorie budget to 1800, I know this goest against the grain of intuitive eating. I hope this is only for a short time, at least until I can get back to walking. I am not going to deprive myself of any food I love. I will cut back on what I see is my issue at this time, and that is bread, and sweets. I do not believe that bread and sweets are completely bad, they just need to be controlled. I also know with my low blood sugar that I have to have carbs to keep my sugar level stable.  I will just see if I can get everything under control again.

This Ash Wednesday so we are off to Church and a lunch time snack. Then the fireplace guy is coming to see if he can fix our heatilator.  

It is a cloudy morning and cold

Just looking at the forecast for the next 10 days, the short version rain everyday is possible. This is not what we need, we need to get the fence up and the shed built. I it also makes it hard pulling boxes and out things out of the garage so I can working on putting things on shelves. We also have a large hanging shelf that needs to be installed. 

Even with my being busy around the house, I am having issues getting my weight back down to where it was. It may be that I was too low at that point and my body just adjusted to it. But I have been eating food I should not be eating. I need to cut back, but not cut out. I also, believe that some of this is due to my muscles being very sore and needing repair and my muscles are holding on to water to repair themselves. My hands, ankles, knees and every muscle in my body is sore at this time. It is not that I have hurt myself it is just using them again in ways they are not use to. 

I believe in intuitive eating but I also believe you can over do it. Intuitive eating is great but you have to use common sense. I also believe that I am not taking time to eat when I should be and I am getting overly hungry and over eating. It least I have not been feeling stuffed, but maybe I am not paying attention to myself the way I should either at this time being so busy with the house. 

This is just the things I have to think about and keep myself on my toes. 

I feel Blessed to be here and to have such a wonderful wife.

One last thought a person, a country or even the world without God has already failed. 

Beautiful Day, lots of work

The morning started out cold but it has been a great day it warmed up fairly quickly. The handyman was here caulking around the windows and doors, then he installed the doggy door. I worked in the garage to get the shelving up. I managed to get the shelves up for my wife’s food pantry, and one of the big shelves up for the yard chemicals. I also moved some of the stuff to my office and got some stuff on the shelves. 

Met one of the neighbors and had a talk with him. His name is Frank and they have been here for 12 years. 

Breakfast was steel cut oats, milk and why protein, bread, honey cranberry juice, and hot tea with ginger. 

Lunch was an orange, an apple, and a sandwich with honey wheat bread, a slice of low salt, light bologna, and cheddar cheese. 

I still did not manage to get my walk, but I did get almost 7000 steps just doing the work I was doing. 

We are slowly getting things together. 

You will notice that I have not said anything about politics at all. I am trying my best to stay away from what is happening in this country because of my feelings that neither party is right for this country any more. 

Wonderful Sunday

It is cloudy and cold, and even a few snow flakes here and there. The service and church the morning was very good and after the service Linda and I Renewed our wedding vows. It was just Linda, the pastor, God and myself. It was very simple but it is very important to me to do this. 

Breakfast this morning was eggs, bacon bites, peppers and onions, milk and whey protein, cranberry juice, honey wheat bread, honey and fig jam. Dinner tonight will be oxtail soup. Snacks so far two small chocolate chip cooks, and a banana. 

We have lots that we need to do by we are setting here watching a movie. This coming week is packed with unpacking and hopefully getting the fence, shed and blinds taken care of along with it being Ash Wednesday, and our Wedding anniversary. For our anniversary we are going to be pampered for the day. 

Rainy day today

Today has been rainy and foggy. Not much done, we did install the security system control panel, the door monitors, and the smart thermostat. A POA member came out to see what we were wanting to do as for as our fence, and storage building. It looks like we will have the permits Monday afternoon. 

My weight this morning was up a little but it was due to a large meal last night and not going to the bathroom this morning like normal. Today’s eating has been much lighter, steel cut oats for breakfast, with my milk and protein. Lunch was orange, and apple and a few nuts. This evening meal was salmon, lima beans and rice. I also had a few fig newtons.  My salt today is almost none. 

Tomorrow morning we go to church then we will renew our wedding vows after the service, this is something we do every 5 years.  Tomorrow is going to be colder and rainy also.

This coming Thursday is our anniversary and we are doing a spa day at the Arlington Hotel in Hot Springs, which is very old and famous. That day we will be getting a facial, and massage, brunch, and time in the hot springs. 

My goal is to get as much done this week so I can start to walk again as soon as the weather allows. At some point we are going to Tulsa, OK to see about getting Vespa Scooters, so we can explore the Village. And we will have to have GPS so find our way around. I am also going to do my best to start getting pictures to post of this beautiful place. And every time we meet someone here we cannot get over how friendly everyone is. And how so many here are so involved with their church. There are so many churches here in the village that I have not even been able to count them. Also, the POA (Property Owners Association) is also so very help full. Not like the HOAs we have sealed with in the past. 

I cannot wait to see the greening up of this place. 

I almost forgot to say that the trees in front of the house today was full of beautiful birds, and squirrels. Again I cannot wait for spring and all of the new life in this area. The new diamond dove we got yesterday is a male if we can understand the difference in the sexes. And the one that we have had for a long time is a female. Could that mean we may have young ones soon?

Another busy day

Today started off early for me at the men’s breakfast at church. It was a great breakfast and a great meeting. I am looking forward to being able to work with this group and to work on the projects that the group has taken on. Breakfast was eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, juice and coffee. I do not drank coffee, so I took my milk, and whey protein shakes with me, I also had my green tea and ginger. Yes, I ate more than I should have but I did not eat lunch due to all of the running around we did today. 

One of our diamond doves, died last night so today, we went to the pet store and got another one to make sure the one we have left has another one to keep it happy and health. You see diamond doves are very social and need to stay in pairs at least. We also got pet supplies, and a doggy door. 

We also went to find where we have to go to get our Arkansas drivers licenses and register our jeep, and trailers. 

After that we went by the grocery store and get what we needed and more that was on special sales.

Then the handy man that we had called came by the house and we met a very nice man that will be taking Steve’s place and helping when we need thinks done. 

Dinner to night was ribeye steak, asparagus, and corn on the cob. And while I was working around the house this afternoon installing our new security control panel I ate way too many fig newtons. So I have gone over my budget for today. But it is only one day so I am not that worried about it. 

I had a great walk today

The weather has been great today, so I worked at unpacking for a while then this afternoon I took a walk, to another part of the neighborhood. It is very much up and down the hills, and such a beautiful tree shaded roads. I am finding there are a lot of smaller roads in this area that do not even have road signs, so I have to make sure I keep up with where I am going so I can get back. So of the area does not even have homes on it and I really do not see how there could be with the ridge being so straight up down. I cannot get over how some of this houses can be built on such a steep slope. I walked just under 3 miles and it took me about 49 minutes. My apple health apps says that I climbed 20 floors. I sure believe that I did more than that seeing I would go down some really steep hills then up the other side then reach the end of a road and turn around and walk it back. I am sure I will get to know the area but now it is a little scary, to thing I really do not know where I am going and at times where I am at. Sure, I have my phone with me that has GPS but there are places that I do not have any cell phone signal. 

Dinner this evening was pork roast sweet potato, and a salad, all without any salt. I am hoping I am back down to 189 soon. I want to do my best to stay below 190. And I am hoping this spring and summer that I can get down to about 185. If it does not happen then I am willing to accept what my body sees as its happy weight. 

I am finding that I am doing very well with my intuitive eating. I really do not like feeling of being stuffed or too full. I am having issues due to being so busy going here and there that I am having issues at times of becoming dizzy or getting a headache due to not eating anything. That happened yesterday afternoon, and I found a snickers candy bar that go me over to dinner. I had it earlier in the week and I found a sweet limeade that did the trick for me. I guess I am going to have to start again at keeping a snack size m&m pack with me, or get me some of the small snack size snickers. You see I have low blood sugar, or at least it just as the low limit of normal. 

It is a beautiful morning but cold

The sun is shining bright. My weight is down 1.6 pounds. I know the loss is only water weight but that too is great. There is frost on the trees, and roofs of houses in the neighborhood. There is not a leaf moving because there is no wind at all. The squirrels are playing in the tree in the front yard. I am so looking forward to spring and the trees greening up. We have a hedge of crape myrtles a cross the backyard. And there are two very large crape myrtles in the front yard. We also have a very large fig tree in the back yard. The front and backyard is all rock and does not have any grass, I know we well have to use roundup to keep the weeds killed. Our living room has a big picture window that looks over the top of the houses a cross the street and you can see the valley below and the ridge of the hills beyond that. If you look to the west from the end of the drive way you see the ridge of hills in the distance. I should watch myself because the locals here call the hills mountains. But when you have seen the Rockys this is just hill country. It is so quiet here, I just cannot get over it. Our home in Texas I heard the traffic from the roads all around and the trains when the wind was out of the south. The only problem with it being so quiet is that I hear my ringing in my ears a lot louder. Even this house is so much quieter you do not here the dishwasher, or the washer and dryer at all. I can be in the bedroom and I cannot here the TV in the living room which is on the same wall. 

Walking here in the neighborhood will be challenging with the hills, and the fact there is no sidewalks. But I am looking forward to my walks. We are thinking about get a couple of Vespa Scooters so we can get around the Village without our Jeep. I can image myself riding the Vespa to the trailheads so I can walk, or riding it around and exploring the lakes. 

I feel like God has brought me to my little piece of heaven. 

Very busy day

While we got no boxes unpacked today, we did get a lot done. The house inspector that inspected the house came by to help us with an issue with the power plugs in the master bathroom, it comes out the GFI for the master bathroom is in the guess bathroom. The wiring in the house is confusing at best. Also today, the windows got measured for blinds, the backyard got measured for the fence, and the Tuff shade came out to check on the site for the storage building. Then we had to go to Home Depot to pick out the blinds, and get supplies. 

We ate dinner at our favorite dinner here in the area, I am learning what to get and what to ask to make sure I do not get overloaded with salt. My weight was down just a little today, I am a little concerned that my weight is not coming down as fast as I would like. But I am not getting to walk like I was use to. 

We love this area and the neighbors and neighborhood. 

Cloud cold day

It is trying to rain and they say we may see some icy conditions tonight. Yesterday I rested too much. We had the gutter guys here putting up new gutters int back of the house, and fixing and putting leaf filters on the front and back gutters. They did bit finish yesterday so they had to finish up today. My wife did a lot of calling and running around yesterday getting information about getting a fence installed and a storage building. Also she got us registered here with the POA. We have our car, and dogs registered and today we got our IDs. We went to my sister’s barber shop and got hair cuts, then back to have pictures done for the POA IDs and a picture done for our new church home. After the gutter guy finished up today we went to get gas and get some groceries. Everyone in this area are so friendly. 

My weight is coming down just a little, I am still being overloaded with water weight due to way too much salt. But we are eating at home and fixing our own meals now, so that will help. My calories have been good compared to the activity level that I have had. So I am not really worried about gaining real weight. I will say it is possible that I will due to way too much sugar here lately due to dizzy spells from not eating as regularly as I have been while not in the process of moving. I will get it off and I will get back to my walking as soon as I can.

I have promised pictures and I will get them when I have more time. 
A few pictures from a website showing a lookout north west of here.

Hello to our First Monday in Hot Springs Village

The sun is shining but it is cold, 21 degrees. We have so much work to do so I will keep this short. 

My weight is up to 193.6, I believe it is all due to salt. I have set my goal to lose a half pound a week until I get it down below 190. I have looked over my calorie counts and I am still well below my budget even with not walking. But I have been very active with unpacking and moving and lifting boxes. We have the gutter guys coming today to take care of the gutters, and install leaf filters, with the beautiful trees I do not need to destroy my new house with the gutters stopped up. We also have to get surveys to we can get the fence up, and a storage shed. I will try to get out and walk this afternoon for 30 minutes at least.

The Church here is wonderful, and so are all of the neighbors. I want to get active in the men’s group and to also go to the food pantry to help at times. 

Got to get with it.

What a wonderful, beautiful Sunday

The sun is shining and it is cold by Texas standards, but it feels really good to me. This morning my weight was up again, but I believe it was due to the salt in our meal last night. We were really busy yesterday so we ate out again. I had turkey and dressing. 

This morning we went to Church at the Church we decided on before we ever went to a service. We had planned on joining this Church next Sunday but did so this morning. I cannot explain it, but I felt that we belonged at this Church almost at the moment that the service began. I have felt for over two years that I had to move on to something that God wanted me to do. I felt a relief this morning that said this is it. We have met so many here that are from Texas. Also, we have been made welcome by so many neighbors. Our next door neighbors are great. 

I was able to get out and walk a little today. Only for 30 minutes and about 1.75 miles, it is very hilly and even though it was only 30 minutes, it was a good workout. I know me and I will keep pushing until I I am able to do about an hour walk. It will not be even close to what I was doing in distance but it will be a very good workout. 

God has called me here for something.

What a week!

This has been a wild week!! 

Monday we worked from can to can’t trying to get ready to everything ready to be loaded. 

Tuesday we closed on both houses at one time at the same Title company. Then we had to do some running around, then back to the house as the trucks were loaded. What our movers believed would be a couple of hours of loading ended up being about 9 hours. Also, our movers believed we only need the one 26 foot truck, but we had to go back and get another 16 foot truck so we could get everything loaded. Both trucks were packed feeling every square inch of space. Then my wife and I was up to almost midnight cleaning up, and going to dinner with my next door neighbor and we slept over at her house that evening. 

Wednesday, we were up at 4:00 finishing cleaning up and getting ready for the caravan to Arkansas. My wife and I were in our Jeep, and the two movers in the two trucks. We also had 3 dogs and two birds in the Jeep. When we got to this area I switched and rode with in one of the trucks and my wife took the 3 dogs to a kennel so the dogs could be taken care of while we unloaded the truck. I know the dogs must be so stressed and confused  with all that has happened in the last few weeks. And they are going to be stressed even more due to the fact that we will not have a fence in the back yard for some time to come. Our movers unloaded the small truck Wednesday night and got the beds so we all could sleep at the house. 

Thursday was also very busy, our movers finished unloaded the trucks, and we returned the trucks, and took the movers to the air port so they could fly back to Austin, Texas. Then we got home and worked on unpacking, which by the way we will be unpacking for some time to come. 

Friday we worked on unpacking and gave up and went to bed early. Also, on Friday the pastor from the Church we plan on going to came to the house and blessed it. We also asked him if we could renew or wedding vows on February, 11, and that we would be joining the church that Sunday also. Also, the propane gas company delivered our takes and checked out our gas fireplace and we found out that we have to get someone out to fix the remove starting so it will light. Also, the cable guy came out and installed our internet, cable TV, and phone. We also have him coming back to install a phone line, and cable connection in my office which is really what was once a storage room, and someone added heat and air ducts, so I am making it my office. Then Friday evening we had someone over to look at our gutters, we needed a way to prevent the gutters from filling up with leaves. The needed changes will be done on Monday. Also, one of our neighbors came by and welcomed us and gave us banana bread. 

Today (Saturday) we had neighbors come by and welcome us to the area, and gave us a cake. We also went to Home Depot and ordered, a storage building, and fence for the back yard, and someone to put window blinds in the house. We also, got things we need to make the house work for us. Then we ate dinner at what has become our favorite place to eat here. We had turkey and dressing. 

I have not been able to get out and do my walks, but I am very busy and active so I am not too worried. Both of us are so very tired. Tomorrow we plan to rest and catch up on bills and small things around the house, more than likely installing new shower heads. And getting the WIFI modem in its correct place. 

My eating and weight: My weight is up due to way too much salt. But it is wild seeing my calories are down but my salt is way up. So my weight is up about 3 pounds as of Friday morning. This morning I was down 4 tenths of a pound I am not too worried, I know I will be able to get it back off.

I will do more later, just way to busy.
