Last Shot!

So, I lost NOTHING today! Lame! I guess I should be grateful it hasn't happened until now this time (even when a slow loss, at least it was something). That's life, no?

Let's see. The tally for this round: 13.8. Not the vaunted 15 promised. Hrumph. Oh well, it's not nothing. This I discovered last night during The Tale of the Coats (Isn't this why you read this blog? The breakneck pacing and action?)

I have been attempting to do what I can with house stuff before my surgery. It's tough with the pain I'm in. So I often start with smaller ones. Like the coat pegs at the end of the hall.

When I was straightening them up, I noticed a few coats of mine. One, a fleece vest I bought some time ago and was never able to fit. FITS! I tried on my long green winter coat (that I've had since I lived in Port Orchard in 1993). TOO BIG! I tried on a coat Mark passed along to me several years ago that only fit for a short time. FITS! My standard green barn coat that never ages. TOO BIG! So, I'll be giving away the large ones and really relishing the smaller ones.

Boy, was it satisfying to do the last shot. Hurt like h**l today, too. My legs have bruises up and down. Glad to be giving that a pass for awhile. I'm not excited about the likely weight gain starting Wed. when I go on stabilization. I shall try not to freak out.

Mark and Anna are having pancakes and bacon while I type. It smells good. I would like to have a big plate of pancakes and bacon. But I like fitting that coat a whole lot more.

Grand Tally since I started this adventure in mid-February: 65#.
