Queen of Rambles

My mind is totally blank so I’m not sure how I’m going to write a ramble tonight. I guess I’ll do like I always do–start typing and see what comes forth from my fingertips.

It’s been a pretty boring day today because my Internet connection went down about 11 and didn’t come back up till after 5. That meant no chat for me. No fun. No games. Just sitting here watching the few English shows available during the day. Blind Date is just about the worst show ever made.

I did get something exciting in the mail! More scrapbooking stuff from Jenn! That brightened up the day and has me motivated to continue my scrapbook work (we don’t want to take the pics out of our wedding album until we have our order complete so we don’t mess up the numbering system. We really need to place that order).

It’s been raining all day long, which makes for a very long day. No walk tonight. I had to walk down to the tax office to get a print out of Mike’s birth certificate and got pretty wet. Thrilling stuff I know.

Tomorrow we are off to Stockholm. Have I mentioned that I’m scared to death? I want to move out of this hell hole more than anything but it’s a lot of stress. How are we going to move everything? How are we going to get jobs? How are we going to find a place to live? I guess those things will just fall in to place but it seems like a very uncertain future.

The diet has been going pretty well. The powder stuff isn’t exactly good. I can’t close my eyes and pretend I’m drinking a chocolate soda from Dairy Queen. I want a chocolate soda from Dairy Queen. I haven’t had one in years and years and suspect they may not even make them anymore. But that’s a whole different ramble. I had two “shakes” today and they were just kind of blah, but a whole lot better than a plate full of lettuce. I got really hungry after swimming and had to eat something, but I guess that’s allowed. There’s no point to a diet if you are going to be totally miserable all the time. I ate a lot fewer calories today than I normally would and that must count for something, right? I honestly think I can keep this up. It’s nice to have a normal meal to look forward to. I only have to wait a few hours for gratification instead of days and days and days. Let’s just hope my stomach takes a leave of absence.

And that’s all I can think of for tonight. Short little entry I know, but it’s better to cut it off when I run out of things to say than bore you with mindless drivel. I don’t even have any mindless drivel tonight. Maybe I’ll have more to say in the morning. And then I’ll be off to Stockholm and you’ll be left in the very capable hands of Secret Agent Josephine (except those who read this on LJ).
