Lots of goodies arriving!

This has been an excellent week for me, in my mailbox. All sorts of things, that I'd ordered, started coming in. Some, quite unexpectedly quicker than they were supposed to!

Kudos to KMart - my wire shelf unit for the kitchen arrived in only 2 days! I was amazed, I thought it would be at least a week or so (their site said up to 15 days). Nope, it arrived Thursday, and hubby basically erected it that evening, and then it was in use!

From Francis Frith, my book "Taste of London" arrived, with old recipes and photos, and my personalized calendar for 2019. I'd chosen pics of places that meant a lot to me over my lifetime, some from childhood memories, others places I'd lived or visited. I'm thrilled with it and already have it up on my living room wall.

As part of trying to get organized, in my business as well as my life. I invested in a planner from the folks at Multibrain, who are overseeing the social media aspect, and training, for AVON. I am a very erratic person, I am also very forgetful. I am productive but not really in any organized way. It's something I'm trying to work on, so I'm hoping this will help. Just scanning through it, it looks really awesome.

Then, there are my AVON tee shirts. Oh I love them! And I love they are 2-3 sizes smaller than I used to wear! That feels so good.

I'm now 81 lbs down from when I started this journey, that's about the size of a 10 year old child! It's terrible that my weight had ballooned that high, but getting my walker has definitely helped as I am able to get out and about more now. That, and my seated elliptical, are the mainstays of my exercise right now. Trips to my favourite supermarket, Lidl, are an exercise session, as I walk around the store, and sit when I need to.

I'd love to have spent more time down at Cedar Falls and done more walking there, but it's been too hot and muggy for me most days. Shall have to wait for the cooler Fall weather.

Hubby's also been getting mailbox goodies, I'd ordered him some aircraft mechanic tee shirts, and a veteran one, and he likes them. He has another gift coming but I can't say what it is as it's a surprise. It'll be kind of bittersweet.

So that's what's been going on Chez Dempsey this past week.
