Saturday I got up and mowed at 9 a.m. in order to avoid the heat. I sort of overdid it though. Mowing takes about an hour to an hour and a half and by the end of it I was dizzy. I am usually very careful and in fact I did take a break, but it was just the last 15 minutes or so where I really pushed myself because I just wanted to get it out of the way. Anyway, was at the "spots in front of my eyes" stage so knew I'd pass out if I wasn't careful. Went in and laid on the floor in front of the air conditioning vent and was ok in about a half hour. Stupid of me I know.
I had to laugh today. As you know I've gained weight and it has been an adjustment for me to accept it. Well today I walked into Kohl's and saw this old man with a white beard and a slight belly walking towards me... then I realized it was a mirror. HA! Now that was a wakeup call. Good lord I look old if I don't color my beard, and of course the weight doesn't help. So, in response I thought about exercising all night as I watched tv. I burned a lot of mental calories I think.
I have to take my room mate to the airport at 6 a.m... ick. I hate driving to the airport, long boring ride. But you do what you need to do for loved ones and friens, right?
Wednesday I have another tattoo appt. Hope she'll get to the body soon.
I'm doing ok. Sad today but ok. I'm just so tired all the time. I was going to do yardwork today as it was finally decent out... but I just had no energy. So laid on my bed in my nice clean room (thanks to my friend visiting), and stared at my new tv. There are worse things.
Hugs and love!

Yeah, don't ya' just love these reminders?! After having had a few different people tell me that I lok like Cournal sp?! Sanders of KFC I knew I'd arrived at a new zone. Yeah, those mirrors are a kick in the butt, too. Hey, regarding the heat, my friend, be careful out there! Otherwise, you're hanging on and that's great!

I've have a similar experience, but with a photograph. Did not recognize myself! That'll give you the shivers for sure! lol. Well, the good news is getting older is just fine; we all do it, if we're lucky! And, we can always pull out the hair color and jump on the exercise band wagon if we want to fight the years a bit. :-) Yea, you really can't power through chores on hot summer days. And the very fact of the heat makes it so tempting! I'm glad you're okay. I look forward to updated tattoo pics!

I should take a pict of me with my white beard and see what you think. Yup I'll update the tatt picts. I still feel slightly insane for doing that... but then again I am. ; )
