I love Fridays. My hubby usually has a 3 day weekend, and so we get to lie-in and then take it easy throughout the day. It's also a day for catching up on chores, without feeling stressed about doing so. Like earlier, he was outside mowing the yard. Enjoying the sunshine while he was out there. We've already been grocery shopping and I've pedalled some on my elliptical cycle whilst reading one of my latest library loans. I made a quick and easy grilled ham and cheese for lunch, filled the spot without blowing my fat/sodium/calorie limits.
A week ago, at my doctor's office (I only weigh on their scales when I have a doctor appointment) I'd lost 12lbs since my last visit and she was pleased with me. Oddly, we may have to cut my thyroid medicine again as it seems it may be moving me towards hyper status ... and that affects my A-Fib. It's a delicate balancing act, enough to remedy my body's lack of hormone without exacerbating other health issues that I have. Getting older is definitely a journey, that's for sure.
My second childhood is definitely underway, and I've been working on buildings for my train layout. I have a small section of hubby's American urban industrial end done. It's a "skid row" section, with a bar on the corner. I'm planning on police and a fight scene at the back of it, and have bikes and bikers lined up at front (and 4 more bikes to make. The kit is so fiddly, it hurts my fingers putting them together.
My little English High Street is coming on nicely. I've named my town St. William, my dad's name being William, and this is kind of dedicated to him. I've room for some more shops along one side. I have some signage to work on, and some buildings that I have not yet glued in place as hubby is trying to learn how to do the LED lighting properly, and until he does that and puts the lighting in the buildings we intend having it in, I can't fully complete them. He's also working on the table area, in the corner bedroom, so that we can move the sections and put in there.
I did set up a farm vista the other day but the glue warped the base so I took everything off and will have to start that bit all over again.
We spent the later afternoon decluttering, somebody came by that wanted to buy our 2 old mowers and he told them "take them" , then we took a load of donations to Miracle Hill, before heading out to Berea to deliver AVON to one of my customers.
It's been a great day. I'm about to pedal again and then lie on the couch with my legs in the air, as they are swollen from my ankles to my knees. They do NOT like me being sitting and driving around.
So, hope this has been a good Friday to start everyone else's weekend as it's been pretty perfect for us
