Right now it’s a very pleasant sunny day and we have the windows open while up in Klamath it’s 34º and snowing! LOL

It was gorgeous when we went to the store, too. A little chilly in the shade, but nice in the sun.

I almost felt like a whole new person at the store. I’d see things I used to get in the Klam and remember how I’d worry about my weight, not knowing if I’d ever know what to do about it. Well, I’ve grown accustomed to my little homemade timer diet for the most part, and another 10-15 pounds lost will seem almost like I’ve gone on a free shopping spree once I can finally wear the shorts and other items I haven’t been able to get into for years. I’m now just three-tenths from 129 pounds! Changing my exercise routine also seems to have helped accelerate things. I don’t want to take progress pictures till I dye my hair, though, and I want to wait at least a few more weeks for that.

I may’ve forgotten to mention getting new sports bras at the store. I’m down from 38 to 34.

Meanwhile, I don’t know if Jesse really did get it after all or if it’s just a coincidence, but this is the longest we’ve gone without having to hear the dogs. Is he just home all the time? Taking them out with him in the truck? Doing something else to shut them up? I don’t know, but I know I like it! It’s like old times. I haven’t even heard the motorcycle which is also nice, although the dogs had gotten to the point that they made that seem like nothing.

The doll and fashions have less than two hours to go, then we list some more!

Oh, shit! He’s leaving on the motorcycle right now, so there goes the peace.

Later…

It stayed quiet after Jesse left on the motorcycle at 4:00, but only till 7:00. Then the dogs went crazy for about 15 minutes before he returned. But then they started right back up for a few minutes afterward. Did he turn around and leave in the truck?

The same person won both fashions for a little over $20 and they’ll be on their way to Wisconsin as soon as they pay. Not sure where Sydney’s going yet, but she sold for $41.

We ended up listing the Tyler and Angelina dolls, plus 3 fashions. A red dress, a teal dress and a blue dress. The red dress got a bid right away.

Tom will have plenty of errands to run tomorrow. I don’t know if he’ll be going to the post office as that’ll depend on how soon the items get paid for, but he’s got to pick up bedding for the rats, pick up our mail, drop the recyclables off, and call for propane. Unfortunately, we’ll have to call the same unreliable people out because the other places won’t come out for just $100 worth. So being poor means dealing with poor service. Because there’ll be some sort of problem to delay things as always, we’re calling them a little ahead of when we’ll actually need them.

Within a few days, I should hit down in the 120s! Tom thinks my losing 17 pounds is a huge loss, but not to me. Not after losing 45 pounds like I did when I was 19. Although, and as Tom pointed out, losing weight at 43 is a far cry harder than losing it at 19.
