Off the Premises
I have worked so hard today! (yeah, right...I have a lady who comes in every 3 or 4 weeks and helps out with the cleaning). Actually, the days she comes, I do next to nothing other than run around (I do help her change the bed linens though). I think having this type of help is wonderful and well worth the money. To me, it just gives me a real feeling of contentment to come in and smell the clean rooms, see everything in its place, and know that it will stay this way for at least, say, maybe 24 hours. But then, I've always heard that a house is not a home until it is lived in and full of love. I do try to stay out of A's way when she's cleaning so it's best for me to leave the premises.
I went to lunch with one of my friends who won't retire from her full-of-pressure finance job (although she could have 4 years ago). She was not a happy camper today and she even begged me to come work for her part time; me! the one who has trouble balancing a checkbook! The biggest decision I had to make today was trying to figure out what to eat for lunch, and with that, I didn't have to do any counting; it's very difficult to determine what's legal. I know my choices were not good: a house salad and a baked potato, too much white I think. (Maybe I did have to count a little bit, carbs that is). I remember when I could go out and eat anything and everything I wanted; the amazing thing was that I never put on a single pound! I didn't hit 100 pounds until I was in my 5th month of pregnancy with my first child; the day I delivered, I only weighed 113! Oh, the good old days! In some ways, I guess pudgy is okay; the main down side of this is that health problems can and will occur. Thank goodness, I gave up smoking one and a half years ago because that causes even more health problems. In fact, we were told in our class yesterday that of all the diabetics who have faced amputations, 95% of them are smokers! (I'm hoping I quit in time; I also hope that if any of you blogees read this that you, too, will forego the pleasures of smoking. The side effects are just not worth the pleasure, I'm learning).
