Summer 2013 September 21

60/60 Degrees this morning, 69/69 degrees in Lakeland.

The last day of Summer (or maybe this is the first day of Autumn).  I had a teacher mention once about how it always rained around the first day of Fall.  My question (and it still is), if this is true, how come it doesn't rain everywhere on the first day of  Fall? 

Teeth are still very sensitive.  I have learned to avoid crunchy foods.  In a way that is good, I have lost almost 7 lbs (at last count last Monday) since the surgery, which means I was just eating too much!  I had been maintaining my weight and not really concerned about losing, although I would like to lose about 17 more lbs. I had lost about 45 lbs and had stabilized at my new weight for about a year, so it is time to go ahead and lose the rest I need to lose.  I can lose 15 lbs and still wear my clothes I have purchased since I lost weight. I have spent around $2,000 just replacing too large clothes, so it has not been cheap.

Opportunity to swim this morning.  I love swimming.  It is such a good feeling to glide through the water, feeling the water slice before you and the cold (if so) water on you.  It is a sense of freedom that is hard to explain.  I want sometime to have my own indoor "when my ship comes in", but I have a feeling the "ship" will be an apartment or condominium or an exercise place close to me!   

I don't really swim, I just dog paddle around, but I have a lot of fun.  If these is a hot tub or a sauna, even better!

Just got back from swimming. I love the pools with "salt" instead of chorine.  I don't understand how it works, but it is a lot nicer.
