Hello July

Well, officially half of the year is gone. In less than a month school starts for the girls (August 1) and it feels like summer outside.

I feel like my life is slipping a little further away all the time. I know part of it is the change in the meds, remembering to take 2 pills a day that are half the strength of the origianls is hard to do on a regular schedule. Good thing Will reminds me to take them everyday. (Better go take one now)

I dream at night of myself in the perfect shape. What I was like just one short year ago. Only weighing in at 135, feeling great, looking great, feeling like I owned the world and that nothing could stop me. 12 months later and 60 pounds heavier I feel miserable. Walking doesn't seem to help much (might if I did it more often) watching what I eat and trying to cut down on the pop hasn't helped either. I keep hoping that one day I will wake up and feel good again, but I guess magic doesn't live here.

Will is cat sitting for his mom this week. At least he will be able to stay busy on the apartments during the day. It could be a little lonely around here without him.

Emily leaves for camp next week, and I need to have her get her stuff rounded up. Of course that would be easier if she was here. She has been staying with Linsey since last Friday. I hope to get her room finished while she is gone. Need to paint the ceiling, finish off the closet, and rip up the carpet and pull staples and nails from the hardwood. This has been an ongoing project since spring break. Once school started again it was just easier to wait until it got out.

Looking forward to the crop in Greenbrier the end of the month, and hopefully will get to meet my roomie for CKU sometime this month too!
