63/67 degrees this morning. I wonder if the warm weather is gone for the year?
Monday, need I say any more? Actually, I normally look forward to returning to the office. The area of the dental surgery is aching this morning and so I feel I am somewhat subpar, although it isn't enough to worry about.
The Lakeland City election is this weekend. Hopefully things will settle down after that and the residents will have made the correct decision for the future of Lakeland. I feel the local elected officials of a municipality are the most important elected officials in how they affect the lives of residents. A city can have a huge impact on the local environment. At least the signs will be gone.
Going back to making 8 cups of coffee in the morning (I have been making individual cups since surgery since I was concerned about hurting my mouth). I like drinking coffee, what I say is my only remaining vice, although I don't know if it is that much of a vice anymore. I especially like drinking coffee while sitting on the patio and reading the paper, but I feel it is more valuable to read the papers while I exercise on the stationary bike.
Lost a little weight since dental surgery. I would like to lose about 10 more lbs (just enough so I don't have to buy a bunch more clothes). I lost weight in the past two years (with a modified "low carb" diet of little bread or potatoes, although I do eat fruit) and had to buy all new clothes at the tune of about $1500. And I had the pleasure of finally being able to wear the clothes I had kept for years for "when I lost weight", which was probably the highpoint of losing weight! I have been stalled at one weight for about a year (since November of 2012), although I am not dissatisfied with that weight.
Losing weight, especially the relatively large amount I did, was pleasing and I do everything possible to not let "weight creep" allow me to get overweight again.The weight charts still say I am overweight, but I know what I can maintain and look and feel great at, which is about 12 lbs less than I weigh now.
Aliene's brother and his wife are coming by for a visit today. This is their first visit to us here in Lakeland, so we will enjoy showing them around Lakeland and Memphis. Probably include a trip on the Mississippi. One good thing, when I was in grade school, I learned to spell "Mississippi" as a rhyme, so I never have a problem spelling it!
No poem today, I completed "The World Without End is Ending" and I have never written another poem that I would care to publish.
