ho ho ho

I woke up feeling 'thinner' for some reason. At least my tummy is deflated. Go figger. I did well yesterday eating until late last night when I lost it and ate a bunch of potato chips! I was craving them which is odd since I don't usually have cravings. I guess the stress of the day finally took over.

I didn't walk yesterday, but I do feel like doing so today. That is good.

I cold wrote to seven local hospices yesterday and sent my resume. It took nearly all day and I had to keep pushing myself on auto-pilot to get it done. Usually one "hears" through the grapevine when there is an opening, but perhaps I will be able to place my name in the que for future openings...?

I have discovered a treasure in the old books I've been lugging around for 20 years. I mentioned the little ole lady I met in CA named Ruby... we scoured bookshops to find her a collection of Emily Loring books and also Grace Livingston Hill. I bought some and never read them. They are perfectly delightful! The Loring books are old fashioned, wholesome romances with a twist of Nancy Drew-like mystery. I am having such fun reading them! I've had the experience of longing for something only to find it already in my possession many times. This is one of those times. Now. If I can just find my stamina to continue this trek through the desert...ho, ho, ho.
