Woke up at 126.6 pounds today! I’m just one pound away from the upper end of a normal weight range for a 43-year-old female of 4’ 11”! I think the reason it had plateaued there for a while was that I cut my exercising back to every other day. I’m really going to have to keep up on it almost every day till I hit my goal weight. Today I can’t run, though. I pulled the hell out of my calf muscles doing who knows what yesterday.

Did I sleep well last night? Of course not. I woke up freezing and hungry at 4:30. I’m sick of these wide temperature fluctuations and being cold in the mornings and hot during the afternoons! Makes me want to be in the tropics where the highs and lows only fluctuate 10 degrees. Even the desert was better. It too, has wide day/night swings, but it’s so hot during the daytime in May that it can’t get cold come 6am.

I’m sorry we blew the heater pilot out so soon, but am glad we did as it saves on propane. Tonight I’ll either set up the portable heater by the bed so I can turn it on if I wake up cold, sleep with a T-shirt on, or keep the other comforter handy as a backup. I think I’ll just pull the portable out. I might not need it as the temps are rising. Finally! It’s to be near 100º in a few days!

Today was quiet as far as barking and gunfire, but there were helicopters swarming about. Not close enough to wake me up, but they did get slightly annoying. I’ve never lived in a place that had such air traffic like this! Just tons and tons of helicopters and small planes. I couldn’t tell if it was the power company or what. I just wish they’d give it a rest, though it sure beats shots and barks.

Tom got a message from a temp agency (it figures it’s got to be a temp, though he’ll take anything he can get), and so he’s got to call this place in Sacramento tomorrow. The thing is that it might be a scam. He didn’t apply at this place. They just said they saw his resume online. We’re wondering if it could be a work-for-free thing where you have to hope to hell you can sell crap.
