   Hehe...mom fed me today so today was a good food day. I'm real bad about that, how did you know? Spooky!
   
   I do need to get back on the exercise thing. Had a routine and well yeah this last month has pretty much killed all my routines.
   
   Once I get this little painting project done I intend to sit down and get my head wrapped back around me.
   
   Grocery shopping for one kinda sucks though,

   One of the things she did was get a day planner and make a plan at least a week out and stick too it. for both meals and excercise..The more detailed she made the plan the better she seemed to be at sticking to it.

      No not on post our house is in a development, Zena had a couple good friends, One that lives in Helen Ga and one in Augusta. They were Army Wife Vets, (for lack of a better phrase) and stayed close.
      She had her garden as well which was a source of great passion pain and pride...

   I have people close, I mean mom and dad live right across the pond, which overflowed and flooded my crawl space last night. But I cut myself off after my divorce from everyone except close family and now I have no inclination to hit the bars and all not that we have that many with it being a dry county.
   
   Had a church but yeah even mom and dad have stopped going there due to the preacher that can't be removed for some dang reason. Not a lot in my age group there either. Mostly older or a lot younger with new families.
   
   Thinking the volunteer thing might be the way to go.

    Zena and I had an operating philosophy to live no closer than 800 miles to living relatives (At least a days drive) Hers were in England and mine around Chicago. That way when we or they came to visit we were always happy to see each other, and being far away left you with a good excuse to leave in 10 days or less. Kept us out of the family dramas too.

    Rawlus - WELCOME BACK! I've been checking in on threads that have started in your honor, and I'm glad to see you up and typing!
    
    Lynne - I like Hmrjmr's schedule idea.  I'm used to being busy as can be, all the time.  When I was home on my first maternity leave (although I was busier than I ever knew I would be just trying to take care of a baby) I still didn't quite know how to handle not having specific tasks. As I started gettinga little more sleep, I started making a list of chores to do each day.  (Sometimes it was only... "Wash enough utensils for dinner" , but it helped keep me focused and not feeling like I was floating in the ether.
    
    Well, just stopped by to stir the embers and say Good Morning.
    
    I'll try to pop back over later.  Could be a crazy day here.  We're having some trees taken down,and the tree guys just got here. They're unloading their machines and equipment, and my little guys are going nuts running from window to window to see where the trucks/bulldozers/chippers are going!
    
    Take care all.

       I made a tag board. It has the days of the week with big blocks and I bought these little strip post-its the kind you would use to mark a spot to sign or something that are blank. Using them to write down what to do each day then take them off as each task is completed.
       
       Need to remember to do one for eating and exercising cause once I get focused on a project or get here I kind of lose track of time.

       Don't know if I've ever had it on a bagel, but it sounds good.  I usually just go for white bread with a nice slice of tomatoe.  Or, if I'm feeling as though my blood is flowing a little too freely and unrestricted, on triscuits w/ a teeny dab of mayo on top.
