Good morning. I hope everyone is doing well today. It's a beautiful day here, but will get very hot by the end of the day AND if today is like most days, we'll probably end up with some rain. Not bad compared to what some parts of the country are going through.
It's been kind of busy this past week. We decided Wednesday night to take off for a couple of days, so we drove down south Florida and spent the night in a little cabin close to Lake Okeechobee. It was a nice drive and we had a good, relaxing stay, even though it was only overnight. Sometimes the spur of the moment things end up being more pleasant than something that's planned for months ahead.
Aside from that, I've been practicing my floral painting. Yesterday was third of a series of 3 classes and now that I've learned "what" to do to make nice florals, I have to practice and learn "how" to do it. :-) With the issue in my neck, I can't always make my hand do what my brain tells it to do, so what I end up with doesn't always resemble my original plan. Oh well, I'll get the hang of it, eventually.
I'm still trying to watch what I eat and how much, but I haven't gotten busy with the exercise yet. It seems there's always something else that needs to be done. lol One day earlier in the week, my weight was down from last week by 2 lbs and the next day is was up by 2 lbs - that's quite a swing and I know I don't eat that many calories, so I think I'm safe in saying that fluctuation was fluid retention. I haven't weighed today, but will do so later and figure out whether I've actually lost or gained.
So how was your week? I know a lot of places are already starting school, so I supposed everyone is busy getting kids ready. We're almost done with our "tax-free" week, during which people can buy certain school supplies, clothing, etc and not have to pay sales tax on the items. That saves quite a bit. IDK if all states have something like that, but it would be nice if they did.
Anyway, I hope you were able to meet/exceed whatever goal(s) you set for yourself during the past week and look forward to hearing about it.
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
**Stay safe and wash your hands**
