Another half pound.  Still going in the right direction

Lost about 2 pounds on the first day.  Just water loss.

What is it about being outside at night just before a thunderstorm hits?  A cool breeze blows across you, and your skin, just the tiniest bit moist from the warm evening, positively drinks in the...

So my mom is now admited to the hospital.  Everyone was telling her all the while that all of her tests were coming back fine, but she ended up failing her stress test, and now the cardiologist is...

Holy Moley!  I'm not even going to ASK what went on in here last night.  My only job was to report the truth at the begining.  I am, however, so glad that the person in question went SO far out of...

My alarm went off 7 times this morning before I finaly told it to shut up.  I woke up naturally at my usual time, which was 15 minutes before I was supposed to start work.  Grrrr....  So much for...

A beautiful blue skyA bit chilly...I can live with that.It's warm here, the silly pink walls of my officemaking the room seem brighter. There is a part of my soulthat is still numb, still hiding...

It was a little rough yesterday.  I was in a wonderful mood most of the day.  My wife cut out of choir after an hour because it was too much for her.   After she picked me up and we went to...

I saw my doctor today, and he suggested I try to start my own, real-people type self-help group.  I thought it was a worthwhile idea.  When I went home and talked to my wife about it, she thought...

Jeeze, I hate being like this.  I like it when my mind is sharp and I can think and come up with all kinds of witty stuff.  Now someone has snuck in and filled my head with gray mud and filled by...

Just feeling blah, blue, and tired today.  No really good reasons. As usual, I don't feel like doing anything.  Or rather, the things I feel like doing aren't things that my work would like me to...
