Follow-up to the mouse story…
I’m way overdue reporting on the mouse situation here at Chez Editormum. We had poison boxes and mousetraps out for about two weeks, and I checked them several times daily. We almost got him the first day I put them out. I put it down in the laundry room, just next the refuse bin, and […]
Working My Tailfeathers Off
The last week or so has been incredibly busy. Work was so busy and tense last Thursday that I went home and just cried from tiredness and tension. There was just too much to do, and too little time to do it. However, I worked hard and got a lot done, even though it wasn’t […]
I Wish I Understood…
Why people like places like MacAllister’s so much. If I’m going to go out somewhere and pay someone else to prepare my food, why, it had better be food I cannot prepare for myself. I can make a sandwich with deli meat any day of the week. I can make soup. I can make a […]
The Irony of Life’s Juxtapositions
Tonight started visitation for the kids, so I was on my own for supper and after. I have many, many things to do this weekend; foremost among the items on the list is writing the articles to complete my April quota. Anyway, so I decided to go out for supper, so I wouldn’t have to […]
What a Weekend!
I got a lot done — not everything I wanted, but a lot. And I’m coming to the realization that I probably have far too optimistic an expectation of what I can get done in one weekend. LOL. Bit slow, huh? I got four articles written and submitted to the website I write for. I’ll […]
Planning for the Weekend
I have a lot of things to accomplish this weekend. I have some herbs and seeds to plant, and some flowerbeds to weed. I have a house to tidy up. I have articles to write — I need to finish 20 of them by the end of the month. I have taxes to do, and […]
Breaking the Fast
I broke the fast on Saturday with grapefruit juice. Mmmmm. Sunday and Monday were soup days. But I made a mistake on Monday night. My professional group meeting was Monday, and I ate the food they served: a chicken salad croissant and pasta salad. Man, was I sorry! So today it’s back to soup and […]
Transitioning
Okay, finished my ten days on the Lemonade Diet. Today is grapefruit juice. Tomorrow is vegetable soup. And I can add back in more and more things over the next few days, until I’m back to my regular diet. I lost 15 pounds, and I felt great doing it — though the menu was rather […]
Cutting It Short
I think I’m going to come off of the Lemonade Diet after today. Today is day ten, and that’s the minimum number of days. I had hoped to be able to go to the maximum of forty days. But, while I have had no physical problems at all, I have been fighting a battle with […]
