Here it is.

I left the house today and told Terry, "Let the beatings begin". I go to work tomorrow, it's really not that bad but it's tough leaving Terry and coming down here. I also told him, one day closer to retirement. It will all be okay, some days are harder to leave than others.

When I got here I ran down to the fitness center. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill and 10 on the elliptical. 1.33 miles on the treadmill at 3 mph and 2.5 on the elliptical. Plan to do the stairs again tomorrow. Hoping all this amounts to something on the scales. I need to get a better scale. Terry has the kind that is the wheel that tells you your weight. I need a digital one though. It's easier for me to read and track my weight loss.

With Brandon leaving soon I am looking for a smaller apartment, house or duplex. The complex here has a smaller one bedroom apartment that will be perfect for what I need. Plus it will save me about $200 which is really good too. Also utilities won't be as high for just me. Especially in the winter. Summer I like having it cool but winter, I am so hot blooded that the temperature won't be hot. Unless its below zero most of the winter and I don't see that happening. I am looking forward to autumn though, even though it won't be pretty at all.

As I was coming down here today I got so melancholy. Not sure why but it could have to do with the fact I went drove through 3 towns I use to live in. Lots of memories in each town; some good, some bad. Then tonight I was on Facebook and I saw a someone on Facebook that I remember when he was a little boy. He's probably just about 40 now and not a little boy anymore. His mom, grandma and grandpa, uncles were very close to my husband and I. I have wondered at times what happened to him, just like I have wondered what has happened to others that have touched my life throughout the years.

Signing off. Tired and ready to hit the bed. Talk to you guys tomorrow.
