Saturday, May 16

6:50 a.m. - So we are headed to Dixon, Missouri today for my brother's wedding.  It's a long drive there and a long drive back, but I'll be sitting...which is good and bad.  I won't be loading packages, but I may be sitting and getting stiff and cramped.  I've decided that even though working at FedEx Ground is financially wonderful - a week there doesn't even pay the Mediacom bill - I am getting paid to workout, which is helping me lose weight again.  In fact, this morning featured a weight of 211.2 pounds, which is a record over the previous record, which was 211.8 back in February.   I started FedEx Ground on 4/29, and since then I've lost about eight pounds.  When I get to 210, it will be 50 pounds lost, and maybe I'll get there by the end of next week.

I need to have a good "lawncare" day tomorrow, and it looks like weather is going to cooperate this coming week.  I can get some lawncare things done and maybe start back on the pool and spend some time in the pool, as temps look like their are going to reach the high 70''s and maybe 80's by the weekend.
