Yup Two

Jack had a day of Magic with his friends. But I was the one who had to do all the dishes.

Yup

I know it's trivial, but it's telling.

I dropped off my car to have rear shocks replaced. Jack picked me up once it was clear I'd have to wait too long. When we got back, the boys began to play games. And when my car was finished, Jack let me know he had no intention of taking me to get it until they were done their games.

Trapped at home with no way to move. The boys and the games more important.

A Week of Christmasing

Jack has been off this week, and so he got the tree up and festooned while I dealt with the holiday letter / pictures and cards. We had planned to gym every day, but my hip was so bad after Monday's gym that we didn't.

We attended the Galactic reading Tuesday, featuring Fran Wilde who is just adorable as well as brilliant. The only thing was, with Jack there, I felt glued down instead of being able to mingle with my friends.

Then we had a wonderful evening at the new Star Wars opening, a corporate event Jack got us tickets for along with Jesse and Liz. They had the ultrasound of their little "cherry" as they call it, since that's about how big it is.

The corporate rep then gave us a huge box of incredible goodies to bring home. I gained 2 more pounds at least.

Jack doesn't know how to not do anything. As long as he is home, he has to be doing something. He's driving me crazy, making me feel like a lump!

Some Progress

I've finally got my weight down to 220. If I can get 3 more pounds out of the way before Christmas, I'll have recovered from a year ago. Not too bad.

I bought all my own Christmas presents. At least I know I'll get what I want this year. Anything Jack gives me will be extra, and I told him I don't need anything, so I hope he listens.
