I haven't done anything on the job front. I'm hoping that the job I applied for last weekend will materialize. In a month I should at least know one way or the other, and if it doesn't happen, I should be beginning to do some of the transcription work, for which I'll need to buy some equipment and software first. That will take a little time and research,but I'm going to try and make a phone call today about that, and find out how much it's going to cost me to get outfitted to do this at home. So, by the end of my first month, mid-May, I should have something positive to report on the job front.
My lovelorn weight loss plan is working beautifully. I can't eat a thing. I've now lost 6 lbs. since about 2 weeks ago. I choke down half a package of ramen soup at lunch, and that's about all I want, all day. Not the healthiest way to lose it, but I'll do it however I can right now.
I tackle the house decluttering a half hour at a time after work. I'm working on the laundry/ storage area now and have already made some headway. I just go through a couple of boxes every day and throw away what I can. I've put some stuff into the car to drop off at a Goodwill trailer at lunch time today. I may have the Salvation Army come pick up some old furniture, once I can decide what to part with.
I haven't started my yard work yet (will try to get that going this weekend), and I haven't gone out all week. But I've been reading and writing like crazy, and will be trying to post entries here at least every couple of days, even if they're not terribly inspired. I ordered cheap "student organizer" software that has a timeline builder in it. Hopefully that'll arrive early next week and keep me on task for the duration.
Not a lot of progress, but a reasonable start for the first week, IMHO.

Hey Patty, I am back home with a cold sore the size of Montana. Hope to see you soon. I love your blogs...you write and express yourself so eloquently. It is so good to see you growing, in spite of the recent rough pruning you have had. From my own experience of consolidating my belongings into a small space, decluttering is the most freeing thing I have ever done. Somehow your mind clears...and Working in a garden provides you with a wonderful head- clearing experience. I know you pretty well, considering the short time I have known you...you have what it takes, so do it no matter how hard.
p.s. I am just a boob...I can't find the 4/30 blog.
see?...anonymous was me. Are you laughing yet?
Phil's mom, Sandy?
Thanks for the compliment; I'm still having ups and downs, and not totally accepting that this thing with J. is probably over for good this time. But my little project keeps me busy in the evening, and somehow I'll get past this eventually.
Good job, Patty! That's an awful lot you've accomplished this week!
But eat some vegetables and good protein, okay?
