Next weekend I will be moving to Oregon, I have been so busy packing and getting other things taken care of that I have not been here to post anything. I'm taking some online classes in Stepping Stones Through PSP and that has occupied most of my computer time. I am learning so much more than I did when I took classes a few years ago, it is really taking me in depth to the PSP program and everything that it does. before I just learned how to edit photos and also to make graphics and stationery without knowing the ins and outs of the program..
I will go up to get Keith on Thursday and come back here on Friday pickup the truck on Saturday, load up and take off, he is driving the truck and the dogs are riding with me in the car. I will take my computer up on Thursday and maybe get it set up on Friday before we come back here, I will have time while Keith is at work on Friday.
Tomorrow is my 69th birthday. Geez I don't feel like 69 years old. I am having a facial with my Mary Kay consultant and trying out the new Mineral makeup. Keith will be arriving here around 4:30 or 5 pm, we are going out to dinner to have Mexican food. I really like Mexican food but I have to be careful to remember Portion contro!!!, since I am still involved in the contest at Curves. I have only lost 1½ pounds. This is disappointing.
We are starting a contest at Curves tomorrow to see how much weight our four person teams can lose in 6 weeks. We are to workout at least 3 days per week, (I go 5 days) keep a food journal and show it to staff once per week. We had to buy in for $10.00 each and the team that loses the most weight wins the pot to be divided between the team members. I need to lose at least the 10lbs I am up from this time last year, however to lose it in 6 weeks is going to be hard. Whatever I lose will be a blessing maybe I can at least get back into my size 14 Levis.
The last two days I have spent a lot of time on the computer writing to friends and dumping a lot of things on them there were on my mind. Praise God for the few friends who do not judge and will listen and send good thoughts my way. Much needed prayers from those friends mean so much to me. Just being able to tell them anything and not have them look down on me from someplace they have never been, understand, or even imagined takes a special friend. I have been there already, picked myself up and changed my life getting rid of the past, and moved on to a better life. So much that many of you do not know, or have ever even dreamed of having lived through and would never understand.
Been there, done that., no t-shirt.
I am so tired of the high and mighty legalistic so called Christian friends that look down on me from their ivory tower, for going to live with the man who loves me and that I love. They have no comprehension of what it does to a person who has been physically, mentally and emotionally abused to the point of being completely broken. They have no knowledge of the hideous men who terrorize women to that end. Then they condemn me for not getting married, and tell me I am going to hell if I move in with Keith without being married. Bull S---, Happiness, the love of a good man who treats me right is all that matters to me at this stage of my life.
Praise God for the "True" Christian friends, who do not judge anyone and care about me just the same as always. They are the friends I will keep.
Here I am coming to you from the cold 29°, Lost Coast of California. it is COLD. I am not even going outside until I am positive there is NO! ice, not taking any chances on falling. It feels so good to be pain free, Praise the Lord!! God is so good all the time. I am so blessed!!!
Not much is new here other than I am still trying to get things sorted so I can start packing, I have about 7 weeks to go until the big move to Oregon. I keep procrastinating and spending entirely too much time on the computer. This morning I will shower and wash my hair; it takes so long for all this long hair to dry, and I don't like to use the blow dryer. Although at times I do use the curling iron, not much use in that either as the weight of my hair and weather just straightens it out again. So I just end up putting it on top of my head. Keith likes me to wear my hair on top of my head but he likes it down too.
If it warms up enough this afternoon I will take the dogs out for their walks. Happy can't go far as I don't want to irritate his paw , his surgery is the 15th to remove the growth from the toe pad.
I reached 500 workouts this morning at Curves; it has taken me 2 years and 2 months to get there. At first I gained 6 lbs as the muscle formed and I began to lose inches. Then I lost 17 lbs over a year and now I have gained back 9 lbs. At least the 23 inches I lost are still off. The gain has been due to the change in my eating habits since Keith and I got together. What a bummer, we eat well and I gain weight. I will continue to workout after the move at a gym near the house with a friend of mine who lives in Coos Bay.
Happy (dog) will be having surgery on one of his back paws to remove a growth that is growing on one of his toe pads, in a couple of weeks; I won’t be traveling again until after his foot is healed. I don’t want to leave his care to anyone else.
Today I think I will take all the pictures and things off the walls, books out of the book case and knick knacks out of the China Cabinet and get that packed up. Might as well start with the stuff I don’t like to do first. I also need to call my Chiropractor to make and appointment for an adjustment.
We had a great Christmas, Keith and the kitty arrived on Tuesday and were here until Sunday. The dogs get along well with the cat, they are so funny sometimes, Happy even lets the cat eat of the same dish with him. Bebe was a little more distant, when the cat ate out of her dish she just stayed away until I made the cat go someplace else. We had a great time with family both on Christmas Eve and on Christmas day, lots of good food and good conversation. Keith even went to work with me on Wednesday and Friday. thank God the rain stopped long enough to take Elizabeth and her dogs our for their walks. Today I plan to take down the tree and get all that put away and maybe I will get around to sorting the drawers of this desk where I have been accumulating things for the last 5 years. I still have so much to do and haven't even started packing things up. There is a lot of stuff that my son wants me to give to him before I leave, family heirloom stuff, that will be his anyway some day might as well stay here with him.Well time to fix my breakfast so I can eat before I go to Tai Chi practice.
