Independence weekend

There is so much information out there on the web about what really happened back in 1776, and I spent time reading it this weekend. Great stuff that we were never taught in school.
Lots of things we never learned in school. Diet, exercise, and nutrition all come to mind in the context of this blog. I won't elaborate. I'm tired of the same old stuff, rehashed time and again.
1000 calorie burgers, fries, and what not.
I am eating so much better now, but could be doing even more.
I am working on so many new things now, and want to do more.
I am overwhelmed by all the stuff happening in my life that I never even considered going to see fireworks this year.
  • I am planning a wedding for next weekend. I have been thinking about it for weeks, and now am down to the wire and finally writing it all down.
  • And so, I am awake earlier than I have been in awhile, because I am overwhelmed.
I will tackle all of this stuff this week, and I will move on.
  • The painting of the back basement will be finished by the end of the week.
  • I will have cut the lawn at least twice. The grass is slowing down now due to the reduction in the amount of rain, and the warmer temperatures.
  • I have songs to buy and prepare for the wedding. I also have to test my equipment, and practice.
  • I borrowed a bass guitar and amp from a good friend, and I need to play this week.
  • We borrowed the carpet cleaner from my son, and I want to run that. They really aren't steam cleaners since they don't steam. More like piddling on the rug!
  • I have to bundle up some more trash and bring it up before Friday.
Other than that, I have to schedule a blood test for my next appointment with the bariatric team at the end of the month, and call the dentist to cancel the crown work for now. I can't afford it. I still have a few grand in medical bills to pay off as well as $3,000 in taxes that our illustrious State leader (Boss Rendell) promised us we wouldn't have after we let in the casinos.
So, if I don't go broke, I will be lucky.
I am now down to 207, which is very close to where I should be for this segment in weight loss. By the end of summer, my new shorts won't fit me, and I can live with that!

Hi, Lee! Isn't it nice you've slimmed down enough to be able to do all of those things. Thanks for commenting on my blog, Renewal. I visited my brother and his wife. I hadn't seen them in a while. She said "Wow, you're getting around so much better." And that's pre-knee surgery.
