Made copies of the travel certificate and Tom will insure it and express it to the travel agent in Boston on his way home from work. Still don’t know exactly where we’ll be or when or for how long, but we should have this information within a week or two.

I’ll be sending postcards to Tammy, Andy and Nane so far that I know of.

Nane said her mother has visited Hawaii before and loved it. Being the travel fanatic that she herself is, I’m still surprised she’s never been to Cali, LOL. I told her so, too.

Decided to stretch my legs outdoors in the fresh air once it warmed up late in the morning yesterday. I walked around the park and chatted with a few people. Maybe I’ll walk outdoors again today or just exercise in here. Don’t know yet. I suppose I could do both.

My periods are coming later and ending up lighter. I wonder if menopause could be setting in. Tom says the increase in exercise can cause this as well. True. I’ve heard that some athletes don’t even get periods at all. Nonetheless, I may not be able to lose weight without starving, but I can at least keep from getting any huger. I don’t even want to think of the day I eventually can’t even do that anymore, but I suppose there will eventually come a day when I’ll wish to hell I could weigh what I weigh now.

I not only like the way exercise keeps me from gaining more weight but the strength and energy I get from it as well. I’ll be able to walk along the beaches in Hawaii, go swimming, browse through stores… and not feel like I ran a damn marathon.

I was in for quite a landscaping marathon yesterday. Hope it’s more peaceful today.
