Not too bad

For the first time since this whole horrid a/c saga began, I got on the scale today. I was only up 2 pounds. It's a miracle.

Now to get heading in the right direction.

 

Still here (kinda, sorta)

When last heard from, our protagonist was getting her a/c fixed and then headed for the beach with her ex-MIL in a couple of days. Things did not go as planned.....

Why no, the a/c was NOT fixed - it was more complicated than that. I finally got a/c back last Friday. It has been a rough month - my house has been generally 85 degrees and 75% humidity. Yes, we have a portable unit we used in the bedroom so I didn't die, but it's been tough.

Basically, I've managed to do my job and that's it. Too hot to use the kitchen - we ate out, bought deli food, etc. Exercise hasn't happened, it's just been survival. And spending $6k.

What else? Food has been "meh", exercise non existent, my trip with Jan (ex MIL) stressful, and I have of course used food to cope. So.... not very happy about that. 

But you know, no use crying over spilled milk.

 

Summer of crazy

 Not even sure where to start. This summer has felt crazytown.

We haven't been to Pennsic since 2019. Costumes don't fit, stuff been lost/ worn out/ given away etc.  Trying to figure out what we need to take and make sure we have everything we need. We are leaving July 29.

My back has been bothering me for the past 4-5 weeks, sometimes better sometimes worse. Why? Who knows?

The logistics of August are a nightmare.

We came home from the beach last Monday to our a/c not working. I mean, the unit works but the ducts had to be replaced. Remember the whole "couldn't get materials"? Yeah. Thankfully a family friend was able to get what they needed. After a week with no a/c they are here working on it today.

I am leaving for the beach tomorrow b/c my ex-MIL needs to get to Wilmington to get a ride to her grandson's wedding. (No, they won't drive out of the way to pick her up even though she's like 90 minutes away.) So out of town for 5 days while frantically trying to prep to essentially move for 15 days.

I've been up and down the same 2 pounds for forever now. I'm beyond frustrated. I need to reset and rethink my plan. I need to make this a priority. But that's a challenge with the crazy schedule that is August.

I haven't given up, but maybe treading water in place will have to be ok for now..... sigh.
