C-DAY
Cday is coming closer every day. Monday is the start date. I have finished the Poppycock, have only four cookies left, the chips are almost gone, I bought my last carton of Orange Crush for a while and all that remains is a healthy dose of chocolate and a banana split. Then I will be fortified for the long haul.
After the last couple of days I’m looking forward to this. All I can think about is my ankles are going to hurt a little less and I may climb upstairs to Momma’s Corner without a stoke threatening. I am so tired of hauling one 80 lb half developed twin around on my back. I know it has got to get better and it will!!! I won’t be posting the weight weekly because my scales and the Doctor’s do not agree. So let it be known that I start at 244.6 lbs. and the only way is down…..
Peaches
The significant other and I canned peaches a couple of days ago. Cinnamon peaches to be exact. While conversing with my brother and learning that we had ruined some perfectly good peaches (in his mind), we decided that we would do plain peaches too. The fact that my kitchen counter is covered with pears so we can do spiced pears too was beside the point. It looked like a fucking fruit market for a day or two until something started ripening. So now we have about 44 pts. of plain and spiced peaches. I felt the pears last night and it looks like pear day today. All this to avoid paying $1.29+ a can come snowfall.
