Labor Day

I survived most of Labor Day weekend.  It started with weigh in on Friday, down 1.8, so I am back to a "loss".  Saturday, we went to the Stormville flea market.  I'm not sure, but there didn't seem to be as many vendors as normal.  Could have been many were effected by Irene, or the problems with some of the roads.  Who knows.  I was looking for kitchen knives, and there was only one vendor there selling them.  So, I didn't get to compare prices.  If I wanted to get them, I had to pay what the one vendor was selling them for.  I ended up with a paring knife, and a small kitchen carving knife.  Oh well.  Then, a Renegades game.  They lost, but the fireworks were impressive.  Sunday, went to church, still not sure about the new pastor, then off to the Woodstock/New Paltz Arts and Crafts festival.  That was really disappointing.  To start with, it was really humid, and being in the vendor tents was torture.  I was looking for something to send to my mom for her birthday.  Several of the vendors we have bought from in the past weren't there.  (again, I wonder how much of this was due to the hurricane?).  I did find some a pretty "paper bead" necklace and matching earrings. So, that will go out tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow, I have a doctor's appointment with an orthopedic surgeon.  My knees haven't been cooperating with me lately.  So, we'll see what he says.  Yeah, I know, lose weight, and your knees won't hurt, but that's easier said than done.  Which also leads me to confess to considering weight loss surgery.  I still don't know if I really want to do it, but I am so tired of struggling to lose weight, and the minute I stop being vigilant, I gain it right back.  I know, with the surgery, I will have to be super vigilant, but if I eat the wrong thing or too much, I will be in physical pain.  It's something to think about seriously, and I'm not sure if I really want to go down that route, but it is an option, and right now, I'm not ruling it out.
