All in the Family

The little seedlings are heading north today.  I pray the weather is mild and the snow and hail and ice AND tornadoes are a thing of the past.

We have had a good visit.  Poor College Boy is in bed with a semi-swollen mouth; he had all 4 wisdom teeth removed the day after Christmas.  2 of them were impacted and the other 2 had gnarly roots.  The Dr. told us the sedation medication might cause hallucinations and sure enough College Boy thought the Dr and technicians were playing baseball.  I told him it looked more like a wrestling match.  One root was going in the opposite direction of the other.  I have photos but I don't want you to lose your meal....in case you are eating while reading this post.  I will, however, private message you the photos if you are interested!  :)

A bit apprehensive

 And After......

He gave me permission, I promise (and he wasn't sedated when he said "yes"!!!)

The Graini-Mom came to visit and take us out for a meal.  Step-Dad's favorite spot happens to be the same favorite spot for Master College Girl.  Can you guess the place? #ican'tbelieveiatethewholething

Boy tried to take the photo and we said NO, do a selfie with us in it!  Hahahaha  #ilovemyfamily

The holidays were wonderful and although I did watch what I ate, I didn't do a good job of the slowing down what I ate part!  I did watch, unfortunately I watched myself eat and eat.

Today I'm back on the wagon and it's a go.  I am happy to report I've kept off the 14-15 pounds I lost when I first started the journey and then decided to restart the journey and (ahem, sigh) continue with the journey.  It IS a journey.  I recently saw an acquaintance who lost about 20 pounds last year.  This year she has put them back on plus. (No, I'm not talking about a grainiac! This person does not read my blog!)  All I'm saying is best made plans and all that.  For me it will be a continuous journey.  There is no "arriving."  I will always struggle with weight.  But that's okay.  It gives me something to do. (think positive)

That's about it in the Strawberry Patch.  Oh, except Hubby has caught a cold.  He thinks he caught what the nephew had on Christmas Day.  We like to keep it all in the family.

Have a Terrific Tuesday, Grainiacs.  I'll start journaling about my journey....tomorrow....maybe.  wink wink
