Last night, just prior to bed, I happened to look at myself in the bathroom mirror. I about got so excited! My abdomen area is taking shape. Granted, I still have plenty of frontal belly-fat to work through, but definition has begun at the sides of the abdomen area!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plans: work 8hrs

A sixth one is mine, if a man wounds me
With the root of a trunk still with juice;
Then I am unscathed, the man himself is consumed
By the evil with which he threatened me.

Outcome: OMGs! YaWK IS HERE!!!! WOW! He’s looking SO good! The last time he was here he looked so poorly. I thought for sure he was on his death-bed; here just to say good-bye. LOOK AT HIM NOW! WOW! I am so relieved. I’ve saved a few inexpensive cans of cat food from Aldi just for this occasion. He chomped it right down. Socks needed one, too.
*Thurisaz and Kun, right here!
*YaWK comes…YaWK goes. That’s the way it is with him. I’m good with that.
Good AM work

Stopped off at Dillons. I picked up my FIRST EVER lottery ticket. I’m playing Super Kansas Cash http://www.kslottery.com/ I figured my chances are better if I limit my area. I picked up a ticket for $9, 6 string of numbers, played three times (Sat, Mon, Wed). My curiosity got the better of me.
Toby out for a fairly well behaved 1-mile walk.
Picked up my wreaths from “A Wreath in Time”
