We're off to the fair!!
I am taking Moll to the LA County Fair today for an early bday celebration. I am very excited. We're gonna go see the baby animals and all the as seen on tv stuff - we might buy a crazy mop or the Debbie Meyers Green Bags! I am quite excited for a day of Americana. Gotta love traveling inland a little.
One day closer to surgery. I haven't been sleeping well at all. I keep waking up in the middle of the night and then staying up for an hour or so. It's annoying. This morning it was 5am-6:30ish. I have gotten in some extra tv time - that's been a bonus. Not so much. Hopefully the sleeping trouble will go away soon.
Good 2nd date last night. That's a first for me. He knows I am having surgery and all about the bypass and stuff. I had to tell him. We're in a "talk soon" place now. I think all will be well. We get along really well and seem to have lots in common. It's nice to just let stuff happen and not be all crazy about it. Amazing how well that works in all aspects of my life.
Still treadmilling. Not so motivated this am but I did it anyway. The fried foods I might (plan to) eat at the fair today will at least be a tiny bit counteracted.
Waiting for time to pass sucks. I have spent a lot of time looking at my body and checking out things that aren't gonna be there anymore. I have spent my whol elife - seriously, since I can remember - with my fat, hangy stomach. It has always been there, sticking out around my underwear, ruining the chance of anything looking even remotely sexy or cute. That is going to be gone. I have always wondered what it was like to just have your midsection be continuous - not have it divided by a fat roll. I will finally know what that is like. I can't get my head around that yet. I don't think I will really be able to get it until it's been there for a while. I have realized how much the skin really is getting in the way of exercise. I have been jogging for bits of time on the treadmill and it is just painful with my skin all loose. My arms rub against my sides too and it hurts after a while. In a year all will be better, I hope.
I have been painting a lot, oddly enough. Bought some little canvases and paints at the store and have just been being artsy. It's actually been really fun. Who knew?
Enjoy your day - wish you were coming to the fair!!
