I admit that I've been dieting. Atkins, 1970's style and not that newfangled stuff. On for a month, off for a week, and I'm a week into the second month of dieting. (Going off of it was GREAT! I had Hostess O's type powdered doughnuts, some of a friend's birthday cake, some chocolate icecream, and also squeezed in a trip to my favorite Chinese food buffet!) I admit I've lost 19 lbs. I admit I am NOT exercising (it's BORING)...but am doing yard work and spring cleaning instead. I admit that my slave has had too many traumas these past months and both of us are totally wrung out trying to deal with them. My fall from two months' back irritated old fractures...that keep giving me a major (and quite literal) pain in the arse, as well as sciatic nerve pain and muscle spasms. I'm about to cry uncle and beg my doctor for Flexaril just to stop my legs from spasming for 3-4 hours per day. (Somebody call for a waaaaambulance.) I admit I have that momma kitty tucked away in a big cage in my house now, thank God. No more neighbor's kittens are going to be born on bo's porch. I cannot stand to see starving pregnant animals, and starving, dying kittens. When the babies are born we will socialize them and try to find them good homes. The mother will be spayed and then I will figure out what to do with her when that time comes. I admit I don't have the heart to shove her in the basement just yet. She will get more attention and be more safe where she is, in that HUGE dog cage. I need to bleach the basement floor and cover the couch down there with blankets, after putting something waterproof down under it first. Am trying to train her to use the litterbox first before letting her wreak havoc in my basement. I admit that I am very depressed. But...this too shall pass. Must start watching more comedy movies, maybe read a sci-fi book, and maybe pick some of my purple flowers and bring them into the house, in vases. Watching cute little kittens romping with each other just isn't doing it for me this time. My having more hot flashes this week might have something to do with it; hormones from hell and all that. I admit the need to start sewing again is caaaaaaaaaaaaalllllling to me, but spring cleaning must come first. Got rid of a pretty desk and some stuff, and am planning on getting rid of a small book case or two before this month is out, as well as an old sewing machine (gifting it to someone in our MAsT group). Three sewing machines in a household is enough. Mom just gave me her "old" one, making my newer machines three instead of two...I found her what she had coveted in exchange, a Singer "Featherweight". I admit that if all goes well, I'll be getting rid of one of the tables in my computer/library room and stacking against one wall a lot of my tubs of fabric, about 18 tubs full. Yay! (I miss having a huge apartment with a sewing room that's separate from my bedroom.) I admit that two local nursing homes in my town are going to split between them my donation of (many of them are classic Disney, many are James Bond) VHS tapes and DVD movies. Two large tubs full, and a full cardboard box. The movies I keep simply must fit on my shelves or something has to GO. I admit...I think I need another hot cocoa. Edited for clarity, turned an "A" into "My".
