Online Hiatus and Other News

Hey friends! Boy time sure doesn't fly when it's hot, muggy, and you have no internet. Thank goodness for free Wi-Fi around town, generally even in places with air conditioning. I expect to be offline for another month while I put other priorities first. If only a mothers pocket book was as deep as her love...sigh. On the plus side, in a few weeks I will be able to talk to Ian again, just as soon as I activate and send him "our" new cell phone. Currently he has no cell phone, or home phone, and I can only talk to him for a few moments here and there through his fathers work phone. I am SO looking forward to having regular chats with him again.

In other news, I'm in my 6th or 7th week of "skills" class and I'm really seeing a huge difference. I started the class because I was having trouble making some of the lifestyle changes that I need to make for bariatric surgery. It must be working, because not only have I been able to transition to a new meal plan AND keep my diabetes in check, but I've also lost 20lbs without even thinking about it. It's still a very long process, and I'll be continuing class for about 1/2 year. I'll revisit the surgeon in a few months, once I know I'm firmly planted on the right path.

Other than that, I'm leading an incredibly BORING life, and I'm finding it to be a particularly refreshing experience.
