Tidbits Episode 4

I know I know, you're probably thinking, really? A tidbits? Didn't we just do one of those? Well yeah, we did.  But then I took a super long break to mope a bit and feel sorry for myself. And to rest and relax and get my brain working again and so now I'm back and will hopefully be posting regularly again (cross your fingers, and heck your toes too!).


~ So I finally finished the challenge during my time away and it went bad.  I did end up finishing fairly strong. I avoided soda and junk food at the end. But I did it for about a week and a half instead of 20 days. And I am currently not craving soda.  Or junk food really but I still find myself reaching for it entirely too much. 

~ I've recently purchased a pair of decent shoes so I'm trying to start walking every day. I'm failing, but I'm trying. At this point I am walk/running about a mile and a half a week. Which I usually do all in one day..  Yeah, I gotta work on that. And with it getting dark earlier I'll have less time to get out and walk. So I gotta stop making excuses and sitting on my butt and start moving.  

~I've gotten used to my daughter being out of the house and I'm doing better with only seeing her once in a while. I miss her like freaking crazy.  But I think we're better now than we ever have been.  I actually got to see her for a few minutes today and that was nice.  
That face lol <3 


~ With winter around the corner I'm finally starting on some of the outside jobs I've been wanting to do around here forever. I HATE snakes. I mean I loathe them. And we have a building in the back yard that is overflowing with junk. And I mean that literally.  I have put off cleaning it out because I'm afraid of what I'm going to find digging through all of that mess. It started out all nice and organized. And then more and more stuff was added and eventually mess started falling over and pretty soon we didn't even care lol. So this winter my goal is to get that mess out of here. I don't care where it goes but it can't stay here. I want my building back!  

~ We will also be doing some odd jobs in and around the house which I'm sure I'll take pics of and update you all with ;)  But those will be done as money and time allows so don't expect anything too soon or quickly.

~ In an effort to get back into the swing of blogging I'm declaring November "Challenge Month".  My goal is to do a challenge every November, starting this year since, well  ya know, I'm out of practice.  :)
