Oh my! Since I went to the doctor and I'm scheduling knee replacement surgery in November, I have to take off some weight. In January, I did that Healthy Connections program, which is a local company that cooks the food here and delivers it to your home. Sounded good - food was not.
So, time to take this weight loss serious. I was going to do Jenny Craig but after talking to the "counselor" to set it up, I mentioned being allergic to Brazil nuts. They immediately cut the conversation off and said they could not assist me..... I had tried their food through a relative and thought it was pretty good. But alas, not for me (shucks). So, I immediately got online and ordered Nutrisystem. Food came in Friday - it really does suck. So now I've got 26 more days of this stuff to eat. I'll lose weight alright - due to not eating - LOL.

Nothing much new
Glorious day! No real responsibilities and no appointments. I am taking the time to learn more about my Ipad. In fact I am posting this with it. I don't know if I could ever use it as my primary computer, though.
Nick and Christie are finally going to get to have a few days for a real honeymoon. They are taking a train to New Orleans and spending a few days there. Hope they have a wonderful time.
I'm waiting for my nutrisystem to come in. Have to drop a bunch of weight before my knee surgery.

Updates
Well, I feel I am squandering time - not being at work for the first time in a long time - but, when I think about it, I've been pretty busy since my last post.
I finished all my paperwork that I could get done for the end of school. There are always a few I can't complete because I am waiting on someone else to complete their part - oh well!
I was honored in our district's teacher recognition program. Twenty teachers were chosen across the system and we were hosted by our rotary club for a luncheon and a were given a plaque - way cool - even though I often feel inadequate as a teacher.
Our son got married and we hosted the reception. I think everyone had a great time. It was hot outside but still a fun time.
We went on a five day cruise with several of our friends out of the Port of Mobile. I liked going out of that port because we could drive there and not have to bother with airplane flights. It was fun to get away, but because of my bum knee, I did not live the boat.
Speaking of my bum knee - went to my orthopedist today for a follow up on the three injections to try to help the pain. We decided that I would need full knee replacement soon so I am planning on the surgery being in late November so I don't have to miss so much school. The nurse who helps with his surgeries demonstrated the replacement - titanium - wow - high tech!
Next, I need to make an appointment with my general doctor for the old yearly blood pressure and such check up. I know he is going to want me to do my first colonoscopy - not looking forward to that.
Then, in mid-July, a trip to wine country with a few friends. Can't wait to chill out.
