Yesterday, I stared blankly at our worn, rickety back yard fence. Our Spring project has been to create privacy by covering the old wood with weather-treated slats, but yesterday I was momentarily overwhelmed. The job seemed impossible, and I felt very frustrated.
The solution was to stop thinking and merely act. Going to Home Depot to pick up supplies served to get me back on track, and the job doesn't seem quite so intimidating now. I even look forward to it finally being completed.
Ah, the joys of being a home-owner.

Summer on the horizon
I haven't written in awhile; of course, I've been meaning to, but life tends to get in the way, and free time seems to be quite elusive.
I still miss junk food, but feel good about my improved eating habits. A soy or potabello mushroom burger subsitutes for a greasy beef monstrosity adequately, and sugar-free pudding with a dollop of low-fat whipped topping can be divine. My back aches alot less than it used to; an aquaintance mentioned to me that he requires morphine three times a day to deal with his pain, so I consider myself fortunate.
I'm not looking forward to the sweltering days of Summer; once the pool is up and running, I'm certian the girls will spend alot of time splashing in the clear, turquoise water.
