6:24 a.m. - For me, July 4th always marks the mid-point of summer break. So in some ways, it's sort of sad, but in other ways it's okay. I really need to try to get my back and legs healthy and recovered. I had hoped to really stay off my feet yesterday, but that didn't happen. We went to the farmers' market, then we went to Camping World to look at campers, and then I came home and worked on the yard. None of those things equated to staying off my feet. Oh, and I also got the new diving platform installed, which went much easier than I anticipated. Today, Amber is planning a pool party for family and friends, but I think it will be just a "day thing". I don't think this will be a "night thing", but I am considering a little campfire if the situation is right. I think since there will be a lot of people here today, I'm going to hold off on weed killing until tomorrow or later this week.
Bad news - I gained three pounds since last Sunday. I'm not happy about that. It's actually pretty simple because I did plenty of exercising. I just ate too much. I know part of my back and leg problems are weight. I just need to do a better job of restraint on portion sizes of food. Talking about it doesn't help, and I really need to write everything down, but I've never been very good at sustaining that effort.
Not great news - I've managed to "dip" into my savings to make everything work this summer, and I'm not happy about that. An easy remedy would be to work more softball umpiring weekends, but I really don't want to do that for my mental health and my physical health. I'm still okay financially compared to past years, but I had really hoped to build on my savings this summer, and that hasn't panned out.
Good news - I have a lot of reasons to be grateful and blessed on this holiday weekend. I have family and friends and enough to live comfortably. We have a nice vacation planned for later this month, and today will be a good day giving back to family for all they do for us. Plus the kids will have the new diving board to use for a platform to jump into the pool.
