Weather

Despite our January thaw and the milder start to February, it looks like we will be back to frozen pond fountains and water dishes. I read a few weeks ago that February's weather is supposed to be more like December. By the time we hit February, everyone is ready for winter to be done and spring to hurry up. I don't suppose an unusually cold and wet February is going to help anyone's mood. I am thankful that February is a short month and we can get on to March soon!

Some Freedom

Despite having a newly licensed driver, I have not felt the need to research life insurance quotes! He is actually a really good driver and I feel comfortable with him driving himself and his sisters. I am enjoying the little bit of freedom it has afforded me. Even though we are still sharing a vehicle, he is able to get himself to and from school and practice several days a week. Soon, he will have his own vehicle to drive and I won't have to worry about being his chauffeur. It will be a really good thing!

Spam

My email inbox has been flooded with all sorts of spam since the first of the year. I have gotten everything from bogus offers of interest free loans and sweepstakes winnings to the best quick weight loss tips and breast enlargement pills. I am not sure what is going on but the amount of spam has been massive. I think that the start of a new year has precipitated this. I am sure that it is mostly people trying to exploit the tendency of folks to make resolutions and life changing decisions in January. I hope to see a slowdown in the amount of spam I am getting as we get farther into the year.

Diet?

If you are searching for diets that work, look no further. I have the perfect one for you. All you have to do is kill your fridge. When you do that you have to farm all of your food out to whoever has some room in their fridge until you can get a new one. This means that you are really limited on what you can eat. Yesterday we all went without lunch because there just wasn't anything here to eat for lunch. We ended up eating an early and big supper, though. So maybe it isn't the best diet in the world! But it sure does make you cut back on a lot of things you would normally eat.

Walking

I believe it is time to break out the thermogenic fat burner and start doing something. This week I plan on getting the treadmill space cleaned and the treadmill dusted off. I want to start a walking program by week's end. My plan is to start small since I am so out of shape. Maybe 20 minutes a day at first. I really am not so much about losing weight as I am at just getting back into shape. I want to just feel better. Hopefully losing weight will go along with a consistent walking routine. But if I can start feeling better then I will be happy, too.

Vegetable Day

I have been feeling like I have been running around like crazy since the kids went back to school last week. In fact, I have been finding myself feeling worn out. Maybe I just need hgh supplements to get me going again. Nah. I really just need a day of nothingness to recharge my psychological batteries. I think that I will get that today. I don't think that, as a family, we have anything pressing to do today. We have to move our dead fridge out to make room for the new one. Other than that, I think we will just live in the living room today.

Blah

Have you ever felt so wrung out from life that there is nothing left? Like you have just experience the ultimate colon and body cleanser? I am on the verge of that today. It feels like everything around here is breaking. We have had to pay so many repairmen in the last few months it is mind boggling. I hate that everything breaks at once. Today's broken thing could be fixed by Tom if he were here. But he is not and it needs fixed quickly. And I hate being the only grown up here to deal with it.
