Getting Out Day

Power back on this afternoon. Yeah!

First five things I did:

1.      Picked up and listened to my phone messages

2.     Turned on the computer and read Internet messages

3.      Made a pot of coffee

4.     Called around to assure people I was OK.

5.     Took a hot shower

Then I went shopping at Speer’s

a.)  Replenished cat food supply

b.)  Got some beets, carrots, and grapefruit

c.)   Paid full price for a filet mignon steak

d.)  and a nice bottle of Pinot

e.)  and an array of four deli salads

I would liken the adventure of the past four days,

   to being picked up on a bogus rap by the local police,

   on the Friday night just before a 3-day weekend [S-S-M);

   tossed in a cell – with no recourse until the following

   Tuesday court calendar when I would be and was set free.

 Sitting around with a few books to read, a portable transistor

   radio, a hunk of chicken meat cooked on Friday, that got

   worrisomely older every day I had another hunk; a tiger milk bar;

   plenty of water, but only one glass of wine a day.

I expended almost no energy, so I established my next level down’s

boundary level for weight.  I’d worked hard over the summer to

get down to 170 by my school reunion, and I got to the edge

of that last month when I was varying between 170-174.

My variance the past 2 days has been 166-168.

I don’t see how I could go lower – and anyway this is a fine weight for me.
