I am doing well. I watched some TV this early morning as it was a repeat - my cable has been cut down but I can go into our building lounge and usually after 11 p.m. it is empty in there so I can watch whatever I want on the big-screen TV. I am close to finishing up the first historical novel. I must work daily for hours to get things going - I do watch some daytime TV and maybe it's time to just get rid of it to give me much of that time to just write or read; I tend to have music on all the time anyway... The weather was cold, windy on Tuesday and I pigged out at our building Christmas dinner, I dressed up in a suit jacket, most of my neighbors wore their street clothes. I am making up for the past days not doing vocabulary words as I have been quite busy!

I found 30* weather that is sunny to be comfortable with a sweat jacket under my coat that isn't too thick. Both have hoods, so it helps keep me warm enough and I am trying to walk as much as I can especially now as it is the time when we gain from overeating. Thanks for checking in, it's too cold to walk out in the early morning for me right now... Merry Christmas loosin' - I'm not doing anything special, but might go to church Christmas Eve and that's it...

Lisa - some people at the Thanksgiving party thought I was someone important a neighbor said, they were town officials or something, because I was was wearing a suit jacket and decent clothes instead of torn jeans. Anyway, last night was the extent of my partying, I am not doing anything anytime soon... loosin' two layers aren't bulky - you're right, but I won't go out when it's too cold anyway... I do think I may ditch the cable TV, there is nothing on and I can watch some sports in the lounge with some of the residents here. For now I'll keep it, but I doubt for long... I am back on track with the dieting now...

Lisa - there was no dancing at this party, and my neighbor Wayne came up to me and restated I was dressed well like the other party where some people thought I was someone important as I wasn't dressed like a bum. Anyway, I really have no family but extended relatives who are in general people I don't want to be around at all. I had a mental breakdown in 1995 but have acted normally since and they can't act respectful toward me so I want nothing to do with them. There are three relatives at my twin sister's house who I don't want to see, and I went there a few years ago and got treated like trash and am over it with these people. My friend wants to come over on Christmas, but he really is neglecting his girlfriend Tasha I think, his last girlfriend was a live-in who took off with another guy and at the rate he's going that will happen again if he doesn't start showing more interest in his new girlfriend. I am doing well, and will leave the area as soon as I am published and will be glad this holiday season not to be around toxic relatives...
