Woke up feeling a little on the "headachey" side of life. Still not feeling great but I think it is improving. I'm actually cold in my house but I don't want to close the windows because it is supposed to get warm again. No air conditioning at our home.

Well after my temper tantrum yesterday, insisting that fatsecret could not guilt me into weighing in, I caught up all my old "hardcopy" dates/weights into fatsecret this morning. After all, who exactly am I fooling? Fortunately I also got to see a nice dip on the scale this morning. Not terribly excited about it though because, 1. I don't trust the scale and 2. Oh I have such a long ways still to go to get back to any kind of reasonable weight for my body.

Nevertheless it was good news. Today my DH is going to see his uncle to work on a gun of his. He asked for some kind of a gadget to put on his rifle I believe and his uncle will help him with the modification. A part of his birthday present.

On my agenda? Well first off is starting the laundry while it is still cool outside. Pilates is in my future as well. Breakfast at some point. Later today mom and I have a hair appointment. I'm long overdue, needing a trim and a spruce up of my highlights. I love getting my hair done. It always brightens my day.

I cannot believe how quickly the summer is passing by. Next week we have a music festival in town. We have tickets to go see Ladysmith Black Mambazo on Thursday night. Before that concert we also have tickets for a Brew Tasting ... better save up my calories eh? Friday night Mom, DH and I will go see Allison Krauss & Union Station. It is an outdoor venue ... every year we have a week long of concerts. We haven't gone in a number of years. It's a big deal around here though. The Festival at Sandpoint it is called. It is going to be a busy week!! I have my last Grant Consensus call on Tuesday, all day and a full schedule of clients as well. We still haven't gone camping!!! Maybe we'll have a nice extended fall???

And ... at the end of this month one of our storage unit businesses is hosting a "yard sale." We have a ton of stuff to get rid of and so planned on renting a small unit and taking advantage of the sale event. BUT ... we need to do it and move all the stuff there!!! We live far out in the boonies so a yard sale at our house is not feasible. Oh good grief ... more to do!!!

Anyway ... I'm okay. I'm still sore in the mouth. I only have 4 antibiotic pills left. Hope that does the trick. I suspect I may need more. I think this infection is pretty stubborn. I'll know by Monday and will call the dentist then if I need to.

Working on feeling okay in my own skin. Remembering what I am grateful for. Being kind to myself. Focusing on what I have instead of what I do not currently have or what I have lost. It is a challenge at times.

So cheers to chattycathy in Vegas!!!! I hope you all are doing well, have fun things planned for the weekend, and are able to be kind to yourselves as well. Life is short, no sense in beating ourselves up, it steals time from us.

Take care!!
