Eeyore Feeling, Again... - I know, I know, but I am feeling the "It'll never work...." all the time, lately.  I am trying to stay positive, but it just isn't working.  Monday, I see Dr Hunter again, but I ju...

Met Dr Hunter... Still have at least one more visi - Shaking my head.  I am growing tired.  Physically, mentally, and emotionally.  I haven't lost it, yet -- I am just tired. Saw Dr Hunter today, and I am still fluctuating my weig...

Dreary Seattle Summer... - Wow.  One day it is high 80's, next (literally!) it is barely 61 degrees, I am stumped.  Aug-uary??? I haven't really been getting my walks in, swam only a little bit, I am feel...

Sporting Shorts! - I cannot figure out where my shorts are hidding.  I put them away last year when Winter came, for the life of me, they must have runaway.  Jeff has been on my butt to buy some new ...

I am Intelligent Person... - I was having a conversation earlier today with a friend on OH who told me she needed some positive reinforcement.  Since we live very far apart, I told her about a group I had been...
