What I'm Reading This Week #27
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you've got the day off to enjoy. I would really appreciate the weather dialing it back from Satan's taint to dryish heat please. I'm not even asking for much. Like 83 degrees would make me happy at this point but there's no end in sight to the 90's. The Mr and I have both been plagued with migraines this week. He had a two day event and I had an ocular migraine which is just so crappy to deal with since you can't read or do anything until your vision isn't screwed up. I got to wait on hold for an hour Tuesday with the state tax department so I decided to sand and prime the newel post while listening to hold music designed to make you hang up. To quote Bugs Bunny "he don't know me vewy well, do he?" I got that squared away and later went out between pop up storms to deadhead some zinnias which you may have seen in Wednesday's post.

I've done so many. They all work for while, even the sweat suit, but they are difficult to maintain and often you lose water weight and maybe muscle. Healthy habits are the way to go but if you were put on one of these fad diets in elementary school, as I was, you learn bad habits that haunt you your whole life. I've learned that any system that requires you to pay money or join a membership to learn its 'secrets' is probably a scam to make money for someone else and is unlikely to help me change lifelong habits.
