So here I am. 05/06/02
For the first time in 8 years I've decided to try and write in a diary on a regular basis. I've only had spells of journal-keeping last about 2 months in the past, but maybe this time I'll be vigilant about jotting down a bit of something at least twice a week. Right now life is great.
I'm looking more fit and slender lately, and also a bit tan. I've done so much shopping in the past 6 months that my closet is overflowing with clothes that I am eager to wear. I want to try and stay the weight I am now. All my summer clothing fits well and I feel balanced at 120. I am happy with my body and would love to figure out how to stay this way. But I've never kept the same weight for long, and never had "healthy" eating habits.
My job is much less stressful this week and spending an hour outside every lunch-hour certainly helps. Will my efforts at finding a work-at-home job ever pay off? For the meantime I can hang in here at the place I've been for seven years.
Looking forward to taking vacation time in July but dreading having to visit with Steve's relatives during that time. The idea of being stuck in Missouri with too many strangers and too much food makes me nervous.
The house is a mess again but I've got lots of free time lately to putz around; picking things up and washing things in between web surfing and dancing about. Also reading a lot lately, "Enchantment" by Orson Scott Card. Been a while since I had a book like this that's hard to put down & stop reading when lunch hour is over or I'm getting really sleepy at night.
He has been gaming a lot, either on the computer or role-playing with friends. I wish there were more things we enjoy that can be done together. Computers, books, movies. Not very conducive to good conversation. But do I have anything to say, even when we're not doing anything distracting, but just sitting together or cuddling? Maybe I should learn more about current events, mythology, history, computers. And then share it with him.
