One more day and June is over. This year has flown by. And my birthday is on Monday. How do I feel about that? Not sure, but parts of me (my knees in particular) really seem to know that I'm getting older.
I got my new stove today. When we got home from Disney, the oven wouldn't turn on. And after investigating, we found out that we had bought the stove in 1991. So, instead of ordering a part that may or may not work, we ordered a new one. It matches the microwave, which died last summer, and the refrigerator, which we replaced last December. The fridge we replaced was purchased when we bought the house, in 1987, and it was making weird noises, so instead of waiting until we HAD to replace it, we bought a new one. So, those appliances are a very modern stainless steel finish. Unlike the lovely harvest gold that was here when we moved in.
It's hotter than heck today. I'm sitting inside with the AC on. #2 daughter went to the mall with her friends and she is exchanging a skirt I bought for a smaller size! Weight loss is moving slowly, but more or less steady towards my next goal. Which is "onederland". For those of us with massive amounts of weight to lose, that is <200 lb. Hubby hit that a few weeks ago, and I've got a little more than 10 lb to go. I know this is a lifestyle change, and I have to take it slow to try to change all those bad habits, but it gets frustrating.
So, as I start the next year of my life, I am happy. Yes, parts of me hurt more than they used to, but I have a loving family, and I really do enjoy the life that I have made.
