I've written about Bob before, the gerbil that was only supposed to live 6 more months and has outlasted that by more than 3 years. Bob is now almost 6(3 years beyond expected lifespan) and had spent the weekend alone since we were at Arisia. Apparently great age grants intelligence to gerbils because Bob has figured out how to get out of his cage. There I am at the computer(horrors-2 days without email or LJ) when who comes out from behind the sofa...BOB! The little sliding door on his cage had a seed pod in its track, and he managed to figure out how to get it up and out of the way. We know he did this since he did it again the instant we put him back in.

Arisia

For the first time in this journey I felt like my body changing was noticeable to others , and really to me for the first time. Dug out clothes that weren't baggy and felt better about my body than I have for a long time. I'm at the halfway point weight loss wise, -50# out of intended -100#. I know the last 25# will probably take as long to lose as the first 75, but I'm prepared for the work it will take. These past 2 weekends have just made it seem to be about more than the standard health problem, end of diabetes and joint problems, people love me no matter what my size crap, and really start to appreciate looking better.Not being willing to spend money on clothes that might be really nice on me now when they'll only fit for a month is a bummer, my clothes are rags and baggy, but what can you do. I need to get some folx out to help me sort everything I own into too big, just right and not yet boxes and than host a clothing swap.
