Austere August

I am out for lunch tomorrow to meet an Aussie friend who's in town.  Then my husband invited me for dinner with another out of town friend.  I am trying to back out of dinner.  Too much of a good thing, honestly. Went for a bike ride this afternoon, but not much after that.  It's hard to focus on anything except the huge mess in the house right now.  I did manage to clean the old range and it's probably sold and out of here tomorrow evening.  A quick $100 to help pay for all the expenses we've had with this renovation. Dinner was a salad of grilled chicken and lettuce and assorted condiments, prepared in the makeshift kitchen.  Thank goodness we will have our kitchen back by the end of the week. Send PM

Great weight loss for you!!!  No wonder you are getting so many compliments. Send PM

On a brighter note, I took my daughter to a breast cancer fund raiser - fashion show.  She enjoyed the food and a glass of wine, I had a large bottle of water. I am liking how I'm finding activities that don't involve eating. First day of work for me today.  The floor should be done by tomorrow morning, then we can move the furniture back in and reclaim our kitchen.  I'll be glad to have a cooktop again. Send PM
