I am indeed back, and things are fine, very fine indeed. I’m still walking around in bit of a daze over how easy everything is here. I am soaking up the quiet. I haven’t heard a horn since I got back, I told Rick that I couldn’t believe how quiet the traffic was, even when we hit a backup on 95.<\/p>\n
I weighed myself on the same scale I had been weighing myself when I was fighting for weight loss. On my first day back, I came in at 193.5 pounds. That’s from my heaviest of 237 on thanksgiving 2 years ago. I’m pretty happy about that but I’m worrying quite a bit about a “bounce” since I got back. I’ll just have to watch myself and keep the weight under control.<\/p>\n
What else… Haven’t really seen anyone yet. I will miss Olga, I won’t be back up to DC in time before she leaves, have a good trip! I think I’ll be spending time down here in Gloucester\/Matthews for a while, not really sure when I’ll head back up to DC.<\/p>\n
Anyway, I hope to get out of my daze sooner than later and get back to writing. If all goes well, I’ll be writing quite a lot over the coming weeks, not all of it will make it to this blog though. Mom pointed out that the title of my blog doesn’t really make any sense anymore. I’m going to leave this blog as it is I think, but I’ll probably add a new one, or maybe several. We’ll see how it goes… Right now, I’m going to eat something and then go over to dad’s later. I’ll blog more in a couple of days…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
