It is 11:46 a.m.
Labor day weekend and then a week in Madison last week pretty much blew my good intentions out of the water where "common sense" food choices are concerned. Aside from a lot of swimming in Madison, I have not done much for myself in the way of weight loss since I babbled a few weeks about kick starting a diet plan. How does this happen?
I found myself in Barnes and Noble yesterday, however and have added a very good tool to my inspiration arsenal. I will see what that nets me this week. More on that another time - I don't feel like talking about this anymore because it annoys me. Much like country music makes me angry.
I wish I canned something....anything. I came from a family of gardeners and canners, yet this little act of preserving garden delights never rubbed off on me. I did make some killer salsa on Saturday though. I better learn to like it (love it) because I will be eating tomatoes for some time to come. My cucumbers are about done, thankfully. I think this years garden fare has nearly beat to death my love of certain foods. I hope it returns.
Well - a glass of water and I am going to try and go back to bed now. Sleep has been restless off and on for a few weeks. Things that seem to be just fleeting thoughts by day, awaken me in the night like a 2x4 to the head. There is something so vulnerable about the darkness in the middle of the night. The smallest worry by day is somehow magnified beyond comprehension at these dark hours.
The more you think about something the bigger it gets and unrealistically so, most of the time. What am I worried about you ask? Good question. Nothing worth losing sleep over. I go in spurts. I can be without a worrisome thought for absolutely months on end. Then something [in me] finds something to focus on and its GAME ON. I need to dig out some books to calm that nagging little gnat in my head. There is only one thing that can put this stupid human trick to bed (no pun intended) and it is looking inward and upward.
I think I just answered my own question. My weight is not the only thing that I have lost touch with this summer. Hmmm. I think I know what is keeping me awake.

Been out of touch too long and happy to return to see your humorous spirit still going strong. I also wanted to do my canning this year but just settled for making some sun dried tomatoes ~ should be a nice treat during the dreary days of winter!
2x4 to the head...or is it that we are getting to the age of sleepless nights? I have been up at 2am-4am almost every night for a week...arrrggg! I feel your pain.
