Every Entry Needs a Title

I was horrified this morning to read of the attacks on London. Selfishly {but understandably} I am glad that I am not flying into Heathrow or Gatwick this time next week but into Bristol instead.

I have washed the dishes and put the ingredients for a loaf of white bread into the breadmaker. Now I am digesting my breakfast and drinking coffee. As soon as the bread machine reaches the point where I can take the paddle out, I will be off for a walk. It is cool and overcast here. I much prefer this weather to the heat and humidity we have been getting. {I can just hear my younger son scoffing at my complaints about the heat and humidity in Vermont. He lives on the Mississippi Gulf coast and really knows heat and humidity! }

I have just been looking at the corner where the green chair was. I think it is probably going to be a bigger clean-up job than I thought! But then, isn’t that true of all clean-up/clean out jobs? Anyway, when I get back from my walk, I will take a large trash bag over to the corner and start.
Ok, a reminder to myself. Eat less; move more. And I can do anything if it is just for today.

In case you are wondering what all this is about, I am gaining weight and this is unacceptable. I need to stay healthy and I need to keep the weight off because my hip doesn’t like weight. What I am doing, I think, is feeding the worry-lump in my stomach but that only assuages the feeling briefly. and in the long run is not good for me.

I have just taken the paddle out of the bread machine and I am off for walk number one. it would be great if I could make 1000 steps again today! This is definitely possible!

More later…

hope you get to 10,000 steps today. i doubt if i’m made that many steps in a long while. i’m not gaining but i’m not losing either. why is it so easy to gain and so darned difficult to lose? it’s not fair!! take care,

I will pray that you stay safe when you go to England. I came here first after reading about the attacks. I am so sorry for all the English people have and will suffer as a result of this. My heart goes out to them. I wonder at how the world has changed and will be changed. I will pray you safe and that your sister is very well. Boy do you look good on the front. I have to get out and walk

more then I am. The dog loves it. Eleven on Top is fun reading. I hope that you can enjoy it this summer. I wish you a safe trip.

I think you’ll do fine, and get back to losing weight. You have the correct attitude about it!! I am VERY glad you are not flying into or out of Heathrow. When the kids and I flew out of Heathrow (at the start of the Gulf War) there were armoured tanks all around the airport. It was quite disconcerting. hugs, Weesprite

About that corner…. seems it is simply employing a rake and a shovel… huh?

I was thinking of you this morning when I heard the news & glad it’s not until next week that you fly even though you’re not going into London.

Such tragic news this morning and selfish or not we are glad that you are flying there either. Hope you make your steps today.

One of the first things I thought about this morning after hearing the news on the bombings, was YOU going next week… I’m glad you’re going into Bristol! But be careful, will you? I know all about messy corners and worry lumps…. Am working on both right along with you! Love ya! ~M
