I have been missing since August. Too much going on at work (I write mortgages, so we have been a tad busy with refinance customers, so I've been working from 8:30AM to 11:30 PM) and camp renovations on the weekends. I had wanted to go on the cruise, but had to cancel because the camp needed a new roof. Another long story and it ended up like a series on This Old House, adding a second floor, porches and way over budget. But, work was so busy in mid-October that I would not have dared go away. Maybe next time.

Life is a bit calmer now. I think everyone who wanted to refinance has done it at least twice in the past year, so the phones are quieter. Now I can concentrate on me. I am back on Adkins. It's all that seems to work for me. I bought an exercize bike today...whooppee!!!! It is being delivered on Sat. Can't wait.

I was delighted to see when I checked my profile tonight that I actually had lost two more pounds since I last checked in, so that is a real plus and reason for encouragement.

Glad to be back!!! Nice to see so many old friends are still here.
