I have been up for hours now and before I got to this Blog I did a bunch of things around the apartment, plus I re-editied my Home Page as I had been wanting to do. My only problem with editing is that it generally means I add stuff,  correct stuff and seldom take more away. It is a bad habit I got into with my book writing. My editor sent me back the last book she edited for my final review and rather than double check her work, I got off on a tangent and added more stuff along the way. Now I will go back and have to re-edit what was edited because it was re-edited....by me....when does it all end? I think most writers with a creative mind tend to go down that road because they want their product to be the best product possible. Enough said.

I referred to today as Leap Day because I had a good sleep, jumped out of bed, had a shower ecetra and began the new day with a lot of enthusiasm. I sat down at the computer and spent the last hours putting away  on the keyboard. I know that because my bum is getting sore from the sitting still while I type. A weight problem and replaced hip joints do not make things any easier. Hopefully, I won't have to go through that again and they will hold while I lose all the weight I have gained over the years. At least I am starting to feel better and my movements are better. Must also be a result of changes I am making in my lfe....well overdue. I began when I first moved her five years ago by trying to stop smoking after fifty years of it. It took a while but I finally did it for good and I never plan to go down that road again. What a waste of money that was over a lifetime. Don't you love hindsight?  Needless to say, it got me to eat more and when you are already fat, additional calories are not what you need. At the same time, something has to replace the smoking during times of stress. Food and sleep seemed to be it for me. Now that I am on a diet to cahnge my eating habits for good, that is another big leap for me. Then again, finding out you are diabetic is always a bit of a stressful thing and cuts into your usual thoughts as you ponder what the best thing is to do. My changes are going to be relatively gradual over time so that I do not suddenly bounce back to old habits. There is nothing hard about a new routine, it is just hard to stick to one. Sometimes life sucks though. This is one of those times. Now that I have a house full of food, I have to start finding new homes for the unopened dry goods. That should not be too hard as I need a good clean out anyway. Well,  as fast as I sat down to do all this computer stuff, it is time for me to LEAP up again to make some breakfast....I am a diabetic, you know....got to stick to a schedule more than ever now. Life goes on....well at least for another thirty years....yaaaaaah, RIGHT! Have a great day!
