Reality, a New Stage, and a New Start... For Realz


I'm still waiting for the silver ink to dry on the program covers I made for the wedding. They've been drying since last night, and I'm trying to fi
gure out if it's really wet or the silver stuff just smudges anyway. The sample I did a few weeks ago doesn't smudge anymore. Hm.

Today has been a long day. I'm actually about to get ready for bed, I'm so tired. I took my nightly meds half an hour ago. At 8:00. I'm opting to go into work early tomorrow so I can go to bed now.


I had a doctor appointment this morning. I got there 15 minutes before my scheduled appointment and didn't even have time to finish the top of the form before the nurse called me back to start getting vitals. (By the way, I was very sad to see my weight. It's gone up about 50 lbs in the last 3 years.)

So, as a result of some somewhat minor health issues, I have been instructed to lose weight. What does this mean? Weight Watchers! Good news is that I have a smartphone, otherwise I don't think I'd last long. I can track my eating on the go! Plus I found out that even my favorite fruits cost me no points, so as long as I keep within the suggested daily servings, they can really supplement my meals so I'm not as hungry while I get used to smaller portions of less fatty foods.


The crazy thing is that I feel today has been a real turning point in my perspective on this stage of my life. I'm really working on my weight issues, I've got wedding things surrounding me, and I know a healthier me is getting ready to emerge.

So, here I am.
