400 Days of not weighing in.
Got my leather pants out yesterday for our 'splendid' christmas buffet lunch, and they fitted well. So well I wore them all day and just kept on changing my foot wear. Brown leather boots- Black shinny 6 inch heels- brown boots- wellies- slippers- black boots :)
Exercise for November was on par. I managed 15 out of 30. A lot was spend in the great outdoors, walking with my spanial. But 6 hours walking solid certainly qualifies as exercise in my book.
So far I am on 9 out of 17 days for December.
My tennis elbow seems much better now, but now my left knee keeps playing up. The weird thing is that I can squat without any pain but normal walking seems to agrievate it. For now its ibuprofen gel and knee support.
Its nearly x-mas and I am a complete BA-HUM-BUG. It gets worse every year. I have put some decorations up, even bought a little tree(3 foot tall), and keep on baking christmas cookies. I am looking forward to the time off...but I just don't get that christmassy feeling anymore. Its so commercial. Its all about buying, spending and then obviously the sales. Good grief....it drives me crackers.
Last year I watched LBs son opening presents for his 3 month old son. I think it nearly took 2 hours. Then his 5 year old granddaughter came over to his with her parents. And after a manic hour long ripping of paper, all she said was: is this it ????
REALLY????
It drives me mad. Yes my daughter proberbly got more than I did when I was little. But then again I only have the one. But she never got so senselessly spoilt. I did manage to teach her the value of money and to embrace how much she is loved.
LB does and doesn't get my point. He agrees that they get way too much but at the same time he states that he still HAS to go out to buy some presents.
Don't get me wrong. I love giving. But on my terms. Not when the calender stiplulates it.
Okies, rant over.
If I don't get round to record another entry:
I wish you all a very merry, happy and peaceful Christmas
und einen guten Rutsch in Neue Jahr :) x
