ramblings

21 lbs towards goal. 1.6 more to go til I hit 10% of body weight lost. Almost half way there. Some clothes are fitting better. Other clothes are falling off. I'm thinking I should go get the belly button piercing for my 10% and promise myself a shopping spree when I hit goal cause none of my clothes are gonna fit. No side comments about going without clothes either. I already know how people feel about that no matter what they say.

Honey is gone til tomorow. Thought about doing several things tonight but none of them worked out. The Honey suggested sanding as a worthwhile pastime. I thanked him for his advice on such an important topic. He's afraid it'll never get done. Never is a long time. And I hate not having company.

I must finally concede and agree with faedaughter in that I need a girlfriend. I never really would have thought me the type of person to need a girlfriend but I can finally admit that I do. There are just some things that are easier with a girl. Understanding for example. I thought about looking for applicants but seriously, my love life is fucked up enough as it is. Who'd want to get involved with that?

See! Not having company to talk to makes me morose, depressed, blah. Nobody to even talk to on the phone. Everybody is busy or not answering. Damn I feel like going out tonight, have a couple of drinks, dance for a while. I know the only reason I want to go out is because I want to be around people. How sad is that? You're down and depressed, go surround yourself with people and you'll feel better. *sigh* Maybe I'll take a bath. Walk at the mall? Nah.

Walking with Rosie has really helped me out. She reminds me that I'm slowing down by pulling on the leash a bit and I'm not walking alone. Motivation is good. Walk the dog cause she needs to be walked. Actually give her exercise and you'll get some too. We almost have each other trained to the point where we can walk a similar pace. She has had to accommodate me a bit, her trot is considerably faster than my fast walk. We ran for a bit today. I can't do that for long. But she seemed to enjoy it, not that she was full out running, prolly more like a lope for her but I do what I can. I may see if I can work up to longer distances. I saw a guy with two collie/terrier mixes on one leash. He was riding a bike and they were getting a great workout. I wonder if that would work with Rosie. Maybe roller skates would be a better place to start. Sounds like it would be fun and dangerous all at once. Perhaps knee pads and helmet should be procured before that venture is undertaken.

Bath is sounding better. Maybe I should get some work done too. I wonder who I can call while doing said work...
