Well.... I'm behind on almost everything this week. I'm doing really well, actually. I'm making my bed every morning, which is just helpful to sort of... make the bedroom look a bit more done, and make me feel like I want to not go back to bed.... I've been trying to get things done during the week, but it turned out that I've had to keep pushing things back and back until I don't know when they'll be done. I'm almost done with my crochet goals for this week, but the yarn got all tangled and I finally went to bed last night because I couldn't concentrate on untangling the yarn. Going to try again today. ;)
As far as writing goes, I've done a couple hundred words twice this week. I really wanted this story finished. At least I have a mini-outline, now, I know where it's going, so it'll be easier to get there. I don't think it'll take that much more to finish up the draft, so I'll try and get it done this weekend.
As far as reading goes, I've started re-reading Conversations with God, Book 1, again. Also, still reading Rebel Fay. Hope to finish that soon. I haven't finished a book since March 11. I realize there was Dr. Who and Torchwood and Dexter and now Supernatural... but still....
I've been walking three days this week, going for five. If it looks like we might have a break in the weather I'll go out again today. We bought pedometers. Mine is a little quirky and I'm still trying to find the best place for it, because it doesn't like being on at my belt, it doesn't seem to count all my steps. I was only at 4500 yesterday and that was with a 25 minute walk, so I don't think that can really be correct. I am still losing weight, but it has slowed down. Still about 12 pounds in about 3 weeks is pretty damn good. I know I overate yesterday, but I'm doing better. I used to get a grilled cheese at Frisches and one or two orders of fries. Today, i didn't finish my grilled cheese, and I had about 5 fries - they are pretty nasty when you actually taste them. Bleh. No more fries from Friches for me! I really want a good cheeseburger though - either made at home or from Red Robin... yummy. Let's see, since I've started losing weight, I've had McDonald's, Arby's, Friches, KFC, BW3s, Papa John's.... it really is fanastic to not feel like I'm have to never eat out or eat certain foods to lose weight.
My step-mother's mother passed away quite suddenly this week. I went to the funeral this morning to support my step-mother and brother. My stepmother did really well, until the very end. I think she had been keeping herself busy and trying to take care of everyone else, and when she had to stop and say goodbye, it really hit her hard. I can't imagine what she's going through. She was pretty close to her mom, especially recently, and to have her pass so sudden like that.... I know it was hard when John's grandfather passed away, because it was so sudden. At least if someone has a terminal illness or other factor that really makes living hard and full of pain, you can prepare yourself. I don't mean the end isn't hard, it really is, but you feel at ease, knowing they are not in pain or not really suffering any longer. I guess her spirit was done with whatever work she needed to do here at this time. I didn't really know her that well, but she was always nice to me, and I know her family really misses her.
