Huh? What? Where am I? What day is it??
Well, I'm finally vertical again -- hurray!! This flu knocked me back but good! I'll be horizontal again soon, but since I'm vertical for the moment, thought I'd check in. I'm getting better, but this has been a doozy!!
My shipmates are just the best! You guys threw a birthday party to remember -- those Chippendale boys are to die for, eh? Chocolate cake was delicious, Kygirl, thank you! No smokin', of course, 'cept those 55 candles on the cake put up some serious flame and smoke!
Ok, so now that I'm 55, I'm willing to call myself "middle-aged". Ha! (I wish!) Think about it -- if I'm middle-aged, then I'm halfway to 110! Why not? I don't smoke, so anything's possible, right? How's that for positive thinking?
FREEMOM: I'm concerned about your struggles. How can we help? I'm going to look up your other post that you mentioned. You are SO close to being able to talk about your quit in MONTHS, not days or weeks. You're doing an amazing job -- we want to help when you need it, so please holler out to us, ok?
JT: I'm hoping that by tomorrow, I can start my walking again. I'll keep you posted. I want to be able to put down my mileage as well. That would make me feel like I'm doing something positive.
Now, girls, there's too much worrying about chocolate around here. Chocolate is lifeblood, don't you know? It's like anything else -- moderation. Well, not smoking, there's no such thing as moderation there -- just DON'T! But with chocolate, eat small amounts and SAVOR every wonderful bite. Then go for a walk. We can find that balance, I know we can!
I love you all -- thank you for the kind words, for the wonderful birthday party and for wishing me well again. Enjoy your Saturday!
Keep the faith
