No Pictures Today

Which makes it easier to post. But it is a very lovely day here today, new month, new weather pattern. There's a very blue sky with almost no clouds, bright sun, and an expected temp of 72, although it's about 11:00 and so far only 53 degrees. We had a fire drill anyway, and it was wonderful just to be out in the crisp air.

I hit a very good number on the scale today. It may go up, but today I saw 150, which means I have lost 15 pounds. Now, ten years ago, if I had seen 150 on a scale, I would have needed in-hospital psychiatric care, but now, it just looks beautiful to me. My actual goal is still five pounds away, but I'm not unhappy with this at all, and it means I can try on all the dresses that will start arriving tomorrow. I won't have them tailored yet, and probably not for a while, but I can get a good idea. As it turns out, I have not lost a single ounce in the chestal area; the bra that fits me now is even bigger than the one I wore before. *sigh*

I'm drinking my water like a good girl, and I've found a massage therapy place that actually helps me a great deal, so I'm going there again today. In general, I'm not feeling too bad. I've even finally figured out after all these years how to stand up straight and walk straight, without being hunched over. My mother would be so proud, and wouldn't have to yell at me anymore about my posture.

There's no school tomorrow for Good Friday, something I knew, of course, but which I couldn't quite grasp all week. I brought in yogurt and apples -- lunch -- for a five day week, and will be taking tomorrow's lunch home with me at the end of the day. (I have a big note on my desk so I won't forget.) It will be just wonderful to sleep until I happen to wake up, even if it's 7:00, it's still better than 5:30.

As of today, lots of the kids are wearing summery clothes, although nothing too revealing yet. (When it actually gets hot, that happens.) And for some reason, lots and lots of kids are wearing school sports jerseys today; I don't know what's up with that. There are many kids every day wearing a whole lot of school-related clothing, whether it's sweatpants or basketball sweatshirts or whatnot, but today, I'm seeing what appear to be football jerseys, but not all of them the same. Odd. Maybe they're actually lacrosse jerseys and there's a big game today, but I have no idea. That's not my thing, baby.

Okay, so, more water, and then it's about an hour to lunch.
