Hello! Been gone far too long. Really no time for myself, BUT I am taking care of myself. Weight crept up a few, but it'll go just as slowly or quickly as it usually does. Taking care of two aging parents is ridiculously hard. Both need physical assistance (especially my father) and my mother in law's mental state is slipping more and more.
I have been dedicated to walking/strolling for about an hour every evening. Makes my body feel good and I sleep better. Sometimes I NEED a mojito in the afternoon to take the edge off...but I definitely WATCH THAT...I know happiness is not found in a cocktail. or even a vacation....cuz when you come back...you return to all the work and responsibilities. We did get away to Hawaii to be a part of our oldest son's wedding and we shared a beach house. GLORIOUS!
So much is good in my life and I have to remember that! A new grandson is expected around Thanksgiving from our youngest son! So much going on and I am sure all of you have so much to share. I hope to allot some time to catch up. Best wishes to my fat secret family!
