I’m sick of the USPS at this point.  The loan letter still hasn’t gotten here and the absolute last chance is tomorrow.  We’re supposed to be going to New York on Friday, if the letter doesn’t show up I guess we’ll be hanging out here for the weekend and twiddling our thumbs to figure out what else we have to do.

My stomach has been acting up quite a bit lately.  I know it’s not good for my diet but I’ve cut back on how much I eat during the day.  I’ve been doing the 6 small portioned meals every day but I’m lucky to even get one into my system at this point.  If I do get it into my system, I’m lucky I can keep it down.  I’ve hung out with a few other people whom were also sick so I want to assume that I caught something.  Our neighbor has been MIA for a few days and we found out that he’s got a nasty stomach virus.  Not sure where he got it but I know where I did.

Oh well.

In order to give people a sneak-peak of what I’ve been up to, I’ve uploaded one of the free templates I’ll be offering when I finally get around to launching the themes section. This template, when completed, will be available in all of the colors on the rainbow and more. So far I’ve completed the red, orange, yellow, green and blue templates - I’ll have the rest completed sometime over the course of the next week. The sidebar is completely widget powered. I need to alter that for my own personal usage so I’ll have my blogrolling based links up and running as soon as possible!

I did quite a bit of walking in the last few days, and since I’m cutting back on spending I’ve done a bit less eating as well. I’m down another 5 pounds which brings me 25lb weight loss down to 30. I’m only 30lbs away from dropping under the 200lb mark, a place I haven’t been since high school. ::jumps for joy::

With all of the money I’m saving on food, I’m putting some aside so I can buy some new clothes. Mine are falling off me, I’ve switched over to pants with elastic bands instead of my usual pair of jeans. I can finally say that I own a pair of fat jeans, I just can’t hold them up with pride just yet…heh.

I enjoyed a slice of pizza, I haven’t tasted it in a very long time and when I walked past the shop on the boardwalk my mouth instantly began to drool and the two miles that I had just walked (most of which was in the rain) made me feel as though I’d earned it. I had one small slice, instead of my usual crystal light I only drank water and I blotted off a lot of the grease as well. After eating I wound up doing an extra two miles to help work it off. I want to think that the heat helped a bit considering how badly I was sweating but hey, I’m fully content either way.

I’m more than likely going to be eating salads for the next couple of days. I’m going to be spoiled on monday with my anniversary dinner. My fiance is taking me to The Olive Garden, no matter how healthy of a meal you ask for unless it’s straight salad you’re bringing in a lot of carbohydrates with the pasta dishes. It’ll be well worth it though, it’s my once-a-year treat that even a diet isn’t going to stop me from.

I am down another couple of pounds, this brings my total weightloss since April up to 25 pounds, I have to update my sidebar when I put up a new theme later. I’ve been designing freebie themes to get up in the Templates section on both this domain and a few others. I should have those up soon.

I don’t know why but for some reason I tend to attract people who are borderline crazy. I was outside a little while ago and some toothless old man decided to walk up my driveway and start asking questions about how long I lived here and how much I liked the community. Bella didn’t like him but neither did I considering in the 90deg weather he’s got me standing with my dog in the middle of the driveway! The fact that the booze was sweating through his skin didn’t help very much either.  Then his other buddy came up and it was to the point that I told them to both have a nice day and walked out of there.

There’s a difference between southern courtesy and southern comfort - you don’t drink it!

I’m unfortunate enough to have come down with a pretty nasty cold. Some are telling me that it is bronchitis while others are telling me that it’s just congestion. Either way I’m rather unhappy and when I can start breathing through my nose and not having such a rough sounding inhale through my mouth - things will be much better!

It’s kind of easy to stick to a diet when you’ve spent 24 of the last 48 hours, asleep! I’ve been snacking here and there on 100 calorie packs but I’ve been drinking a lot of tea as well. It’s very hard to get myself to the point of being as active as I used to be considering I’m having trouble standing up.

I managed to get a little bit of exercise in tonight though. Bella hasn’t poo’d in about two days because there is a rabid animal on the loose and it’s already attacked a 70-100lb pit bull, lord knows what it could do to a 18 pound Lhasa who thinks she’s a cat, minus the whole crapping outside thing, naturally. Sean went off to do his own thing, not quite sure what it was but no matter how dizzy I was, Bella was going to take her much needed nightly poop walk. So I threw my sneakers on and high-tailed it out the door. I admit, I was having some trouble and half way down the road I realised that I’d be screwed if something did happen to jump out at us because I’m in no condition to run anywhere, I just know that my dog is not going to be attacked by a cat/racoon with an attitude problem. So the littlest bit of noise that I heard behind me wound up having me walk just a little bit faster. Sean caught up with me just as I was getting back to the house so I’m certain that he made some sort of noise to scare me but either way no one was attacked, Bella got to do her business and now we’re home safe and sound.

It’s been very hot for the last few days, I know previously in the week there have been record highs all across the mid-west. I heard that one area hit the 115°F(46°C) mark. I felt so bad for those people, and then it made it’s way over on the eastern shore. DE hit high 90’s for the last few days but at least I was lucky enough to have the air conditioner in the window and being fast asleep during most of the heat. There was supposed to be some massive storm going through here today but nothing ever touched down. I noticed that my flowers are dead and I have to say I’m really annoyed by it. No one could think of watering them for me and even on top of that - where’s the rainfall? We’re about 5 inches behind this year, many farmers in the are are suffering pretty badly as well considering their crops depend heavily on the rain and I don’t think they’ve got those big booms that shoot water along their 5+ acres of crop like many other farms in the area do. Either way it’s hot and it’s just aiding in making me even more uncomfortable.

I waddled my self over to the office, took me a while to get here too. The AC is on but that trip from the bed to the office after walking her has left me with little to no strength. I’m more than likely going to get myself in bed as soon as possible, no need for me to be up if I can’t be productive about anything, you know?
