Being Busy Helps

Time goes by.  Every day I tell myself that I am going to post a new blog.  However, this last week has been so busy at the Inn.  Seventeen people at breakfast several days.  I was so exhausted the other day that I almost fell asleep at dinner.  I felt terrible about it, but I was just so exhausted. 

My mom and two nieces (Lauren and Julia) were here last week for three days.  They had wonderful weather.  I took them to a farm about 20 minutes away.  There is a pottery studio and gallery there.  We made pottery.  We actually used clay and the potter's wheel to make bowls, vases, etc.  They had a great time.  Well, I did too.  There were all kinds of funky looking chickens, turkeys, ducks, llama, horses, cows, etc.  What an experience for two city girls from Detroit.

I called my doctor and he put me back on my anti-depressant medication.  It is starting to kick in.  Yesterday I wasn't quite in the "funk" that I have been in the last two to three weeks.  It's hard to move on but I guess I still need the medication for a while.

I've lost 14 pounds in the last two months.  Mostly from all the work around the B&B, plus Drew and I have been walking 30-45 minutes a day and I've cut out a lot of the crap foods I was eating.  I would like to lose another 10-15 pounds.  That seems totally possible now that I am 1/2 way there.  My doctor will be proud of me, that last time I was there he was quite disappointed.

Ray and I would always take a post-labor day trip to Macinac Island.  I did not do that last year.  I had intentions of going this year, however this morning I am thinking that I can't do that.  Still too soon.  I don't want to push my emotions.  I'm not ready.  So, I will have to think of something alternate.  Somewhere NEW.  Any ideas?

Well, gotta run.  Breakfast won't make itself.  I'm doing good, being busy helps.  - Jimmy
