The rats are out playing now as I write this. Yesterday was very annoying as far as landscapers go. Instead of just a few minutes here and a few there, it went on and on for hours. Not consistently, but close enough. I wonder if some of it was even coming from outside the park. Whatever it was they were doing was bigger and louder than usual. I could hear it over the music I was playing. I hope it’s quieter today. 

I realized two things this morning. One is that I’m never going to lose weight as hungry as I am most days, and two, I could send my doctor a message and ask if she can recommend an effective appetite suppressant to help get my calories low enough to lose the weight. There are tons of them on Amazon, but do they actually work? One person will say it’s wonderful, then another will say it’s worthless. Without something snuffing out my constant hunger, I’m forever doomed. I’m not so big right now that it’s unhealthy, but I could get there soon enough if I don’t find something to help me. Otherwise, I’ll never lose weight. Never. 

I actually wrote the above two paragraphs 4 hours ago. I wanted to go out for a run. I like it when there’s no sun glaring in my eyes or traffic. It’s not just about the running for me; it’s about the fresh air as well. 

After my run, I cleaned the kitchen and did a few other things. 

Another reason doing the entire place in laminate flooring is appealing is that if we drip any paint on it, it would be easier to wipe it off a floor than carpet. 

Been having fun doing surveys both for money and for fun. I put little treats in my Amazon cart and let the survey earnings pay for them. :) Some are boring but most are interesting. You just never know what they’re going to ask. Some questions I couldn’t possibly answer, though, because I either don’t know anything about what they’re asking or I never experienced it firsthand.
