the beat goes on
Anyway, I never did get to the bike last night–ended up doing keyboard so A could work on a awful high (F, I think) violin scale….and no, I don’t play other than a few scales she’s taught me for her own violin practices. All the keyboard keys are labeled with tape so I know what to hit. Playing music is NOT one of my talents. Neither is singing, for that matter. But I do love listening to almost anything.
She’s pretty miserable, but I sent her to school full of pineapple and drugs with instructions to drink and drink. We’ll see if she makes it all day including the orchestra practice afterward.
I felt bad about not having my usual gym day yesterday; it opened late cause of the holiday and all I did was ladies lite aerobics and a little here at home. So, I went in at 6:30 and did extra today– stretch and warm-up, weight machines, and 2.8 mi. on the treadmill with slight incline. I stepped on the scale today and I’m down 2lb. since I first got weighed this go round–3 more to get off by the end of the month. I’m not sure that 2 down in 5 days is accurate; we all know what capricious monsters the hateful scales are and I haven’t been THAT good, but I’ll take it.
Food so far: bfsk: 1 pkt. oatmeal w/skim, V8, decaf tea………….snack: 2 pieces thin sliced deli turkey, f.f. cottage cheese, 3 prunes………
Off to read the paper and clean bathrooms—exciting day, I tell ya, chickadees!

I would actually find a few of those *exciting* days of yours quite pleasant. And yes, NO scale is to be believed or depended on with any degree of trust whatsoever. I have found that mine enjoys a rather sadistic sense of humor, and always at my expense. It does all manner of things to entice me into stepping on it….sends out such warm and fuzzy vibes, don’t you know (?)…and appeals to my curiosity…”C’mon, just a QUICK peek…can’t hurt… you’ve done pretty well with your eating this week…and then, Ba-BOOM! Nastiness. Just sheer, demonic nastiness.
Two pounds is WONDERFUL! (And if that danged scale tries to take that number back tomorrow, you just give it a swift kick for you - AND for me…
Hope the paper had some good news,

If there is one chore I hate, it’s cleaning bathrooms. But at least you’re burning calories right??
I think you’re right in regards to clarifying my title for duty’s sake. And yes, it does still hurt. I suppose I have some left over angst from losing friends as a kid, and I guess I’m mostly scared that I am going to lose her too, or that I have already. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling for someone who is so used to control, in every area of my life. Thanks for your thoughts though, it helps to get some perspective.
