The Median Sib

The movers will be here at 8:00 Thursday morning.  That means I have one day left to get everything ready to move.  Sigh!  I’m making great progress, but there is a lot to do on Wednesday.  Right now it’s 11:30 p.m., and I’m so tired from all the 4th of July festivities and packing.  This morning I took one load of stuff to the storage space I’ve rented.  By the time I finished loading and unloading all those boxes, I was drenched in sweat.  So I think I’ll call it a day and go to bed.  I’ll start fresh in the morning.

I had some good news today.  This afternoon I tried on some jeans that I couldn’t even zip a few weeks ago. They were still a little snug, but I could zip them.  So my exercising at Curves and cutting back on food is showing some results.  Yea!  It’s absurd how happy that makes me.

I think the doctors are right to doubt this guy’s story. (Warning - rather gross, but humorous, link)

I was sleeping soundly awhile ago and through the fog of sleep I became aware of a sound.  Very rhythmic.  THUD! pause. . . THUD! pause . . . THUD! pause . . . THUD!  This went on and on.  Was it coming from my house?  What on earth was it?  I determined it was coming from outside - but very close.  I got up and looked out the front window.  Across the street, workers are building a new set of townhouses.  A large truck with bricks is parked there.  One guy is standing on the truck lifting a handful of bricks.  Another guy is standing on the ground.  First guy tosses the bricks to the second guy.  Second guy tosses the bricks into a stack next to the townhouse - THUD!  He turns to accept another handful of bricks and then tosses that handful into the stack - THUD!  Mystery solved.  Sleep ended.
