Welcome back!

It ain’t fair.

I think that I have put back on weight since I have recovered from the flu.

It just ain’t fair.

If I sound like I am pouting, you are probably right. At my age it is not easy to lose weight. I keep hearing about diet and exercise. Nice, if you are able to do the exercise. The diet part is not all that easy either. Too bad there is not a ‘magic’ pill that would just melt away all of the unnecessary fat without effort. It does not exist, yet. I figure that the diet people are trying to get that one right. Even without it being in existence they still make a lot of money.

I know that I cannot be the only one who wants to lose weight. All of the diet foods, and pills are thought up for someone, not just me. Stopping ‘cold turkey’ does not work either. That is called starvation. I am a long way from that. I am not giving up. Sooner or later, I will finally get some weight off. I think that I’ll go take a shower. That might help. After all, dirt does add weight, too.

That might not seem very news-worthy. Our area has been having trouble with a lack of rain.

When I got up today and saw the wet sidewalks, I felt joy and happiness. It wasn’t much rain, but every little bit does help.

I heard on the news about people who had been hit with bad storms and tornadoes. I am thankful that those bad storms by-passed us. I just wish that people had not been hurt by them. Those victims need food, medicine, clothes, and shelter. In one town alone, over 300 homes were blasted off the face of the earth. Mena, Arkansas was one of those places that hit so hard. Arkansas is a state that does not have a lot of resources itself. Those people need help.

The time is getting nearer. We should soon be on the road again.

We have been trying to get our van up and running again. It appears that will happen soon. We are both tired of not being able to go where we want, and not being able to visit the people that we care about. Not having transportation can be very frustrating. Not having the money to get the repairs is even more frustrating.

We have been patient, so far. I have never really been able to be very patient. It is one thing to be able to wait, and quite another to have to wait without choice. Some people have prayed for patience, I have never been THAT brave. I have seen what those people go through, and find myself to be basically chicken thinking about patience. :}

Remember the sign? Well, it is done.

It only took around a week for it to get done, and I must admit that I had fun doing it. Soon, it will be put up where others can see it.

This opportunity to have fun and do something for our little church was fun. Sometimes it can be amazing what different uses can be put to wood, paint, and a little time.

Yes, it is a sign. I am not getting all strange here.

I am making a sign for our church. I am having fun. I was able to take the information that was needed, lay out the arrangement of the information. Then I have drawn it on the wooden board.

I got ahead of myself. First I figured out what size to make it. Then when I presented with the board, I painted it white (several times in order to seal it from the weather). After that I laid out the information, talked to our pastor, drew it on the painted board and then started to pain in the words.

It will look great when it is totally finished, and I am having a blast doing this.

Yes, I have lost weight. Having the flu will definitely take away your appetite.

A friend mentioned that it was noticeable. I’m just glad that she didn’t ask about the best diet pills to use to do that. She has been complaining about needing to lose weight. She is only about 20 lbs over what she wants to weigh.

I do not understand what she is worried about, though. She is newly divorced and has already had guys looking interested. Some models that I have seen on TV look as if they have anorexia or boulemia and need to see a doctor. I am no where near having to worry about being too skinny. Too skinny is just as bad as being too fat. It is just finding a balance between the two, I guess. Haven’t gotten there yet.
