There's a lot going on this month. With things opening up, life's beginning again. Two of my nieces are graduating, so there will be parties, I have tickets to two baseball games, my aunt's memorial service is coming up, & my 60th birthday lands on the 25th. While it's nice to be back living again, those occasions also provide many opportunities to eat. I was kind of pissed that I gained 1.2 pounds at Weight Watchers this past week, but there's the potential to gain a lot more than that if I'm not careful this month.

@ buddha1too and all:
Wow, my mood is effected by the lengthening hours of daylight in Spring too!
Amigo!
Usually i get euphoric hypomania and this year i am having a nice time tho with COVID i can't have my regular adventures.
This year i am managing it with light-deprivation. I stay in the dark except for when i take my dog out and then it's a thousand-million-eleventy-hundred lux assaulting my eyes.
I really must get sunglasses but i need that special giant kind that go OVER your glasses or else prescription ones so it's a big bore. Maybe i'll try online or negotiate a deal with my retailer since i was too sick to wheel-and-deal last time and overpaid by 40% for two pairs.
They're pretty good, tho, my bricks-and-mortar retailer, i played them off against an online company one time and they price-matched plus i got the optician's advice on selecting frames and he did multiple adjustments for free. Laurier Optical they're called.
Not sure where i will be mood-wise by the 25th so i'll wish you a special very early H@pPy BiRtHd@Y now and hopefully again on the actual day. I hope you'll treat yourself big, because after darn COVID, we we need to celebrate!
Glad you have some fun events coming up!
Sorry again about your aunt. I know the memorial will be emotional for you but try and remember the good times. In the wise words of Theodore Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, "Don't cry because it's over. SMILE because it happened!" Not sure if i've used that quote on you before, apologies if i am repeating myself, i just LOVE that quote.
I say eff Weight-Watchers for the moment. Just put it on pause and INDULGE. Life is too short. Enjoy yourself!!! Eat hot-dogs at the ballgames and holler your head off, stuff your face with cake at the parties!!! Feasting is natural for humans. If you eat a moderate diet on a regular basis, the occasional indulgence is fine because our bodies just rid ourselves of it as waste.
Once you've celebrated for a while, THEN buckle back down to Weigh-Watchers. It's ALWAYS gonna be there! It's not going any where.
I want good things for you, my friend. Pleasure and joy!
This moment is your life!!!
Warmest Regards,
Jane.
