so stressed -- in time for my stress test!!!

Wednesday, August 15th 2007

hi everyone,

just a quick drive by to say hello and that i am alive and well. you know when you try to pack too much into a short span of time? well that's what it has been like this week and will continue to be until next tuesday. this is not really a complaint, just a fact. i am concerned about trying to remain on point with my calories. i have several meals planned away from home and that always gets troublesome. here's how it is working out for me this week:

my tale of two tomorrows

Monday, August 13th 2007

it is actually sunday evening, but i am writing my blog for tomorrow. i will be away most of the day spending time with my dad. he needs to get out of the house. when i was with my parents on saturday i could see how depressed he is. because of my mom's dementia, they don't really go anywhere and he is not one to do anything by himself. as much as he wants to get out he would never leave my mother's side. so with the help of a little white lie (which my mom will soon forget because of her d...

Saturday, August 11th 2007

i will keep it brief for today. the wedding was wonderful, but the weather didn't cooperate. walking to the ship was crazy. it was very cold and windy on the dock. all week i had been worrying about how hot it was going to be and it was the exact opposite. all the women in their strapless, sleeveless and silk dresses had pulled out their pashmina shawls and sweaters.

sometimes i feel
like i don't do enough
to save the world
and do the things
a good citizen should do
when they see
something wrong

i am kind
to everyone around me

working in my yard
i tip generously in restaurants
and to anyone whose ...
