Monday feels like a Rest

 Weight this am - 162.6

I think the stress of the election is getting to me.   I feel so drained and yet so hopeful.   A lot is riding on this for a lot of people I love.   

Waiting to hear from the delivery people about timing for tomorrow.   PLEASE let it be early!   I just want to organize my living room, figure out what goes where, and have it all set up and ready for the end of the month.    Then I can move on to detailing the rest of the house, setting up the table, and being ready to open up our home.   

Tomorrow is election day and I'm hoping to have everything done before results start coming in so I have nothing on my plate for the next few days while the results come in.   

This is the week to just be gentle on ourselves.    The "gung-ho" can come back once this is done

Sunday Steaming

 Weight this am - 162.8

Back down again.   The wobbles are interesting and keep getting lower so that's awesome.   I'm just looking forward to hitting those last few sixes and getting back into the fives.   That will be much more familiar territory.   

Today was emptying the living room and steaming the carpets day.   It's all done and clean and looks so empty.   Can't WAIT to have our new furniture come in tomorrow.   I realized that this is the first new actual living room furniture we have ever purchased.   Everything we've had was either a futon, a papasan, or a hand me down of some ilk.    And let's face it, as much as I LOVE a good futon or papasan...they are not real solid furniture.    It's an interesting 'adulting' step to be taking in our 50's LOL!!!

I also set up the Thanksgiving Open House event on Facebook.   Now I just need to set one up for the off Facebook crowd.   

Thanksgiving feels like it's weeks away AND just around the corner.   I'll be happy when we have the house done but I definitely feel further ahead that other years.    

Saturday is for Sofa Shopping

A jog back up.   Today was furniture shopping day.    Lots of walking.  We did find what we wanted though.    Bought a new loveseat that is so soft and comfy.   AND we even got ourselves two chairs.   They are like a hug and they swivel and rock and recline.    Everything comes on Tuesday...just waiting to find out when.    Now we need to get the space ready.  

Also, as you do, we came home with a tiger.    I love my life.

Hello November

 Weight this am - 163

So Tired after yesterday.   Next we get things into gear for Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season.    

Working on my bookshelf all day.  Once that is done all the major projects will be completed.    Then it's just cleaning and reorganizing.    We did all the major work so this is just getting things back into place, setting up the dining room for dinner and making sure we have everything where it needs to be.    

The nausea isn't there today (although it was yesterday)    I'm not having really bad effects from the meds, which is great.
