about getting from point A to point B in the most interesting ways possible

If you're a large woman in America, your whole life is an opportunity to feel self-conscious, embarrassed, resentful and way too big. You can hide in the corner or on the couch, you can go to therapy, or you can put on your lycra bike shorts and get out there and move.

Different day, different location, still, it rains! Did I bring this with me? Maybe. It's just funny.

Sweetie and I are hanging with family and trying to adjust to small town life. Well, that makes it sound like we're in the thick of it, and really, we're just hanging at the house or driving around. It's been nice to have a total change of scenery.

I finally finished Devil in the Details by Jennifer Traig on the way here. So today I bought a couple books in case I have downtime: Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, and In Praise of Slowness: Challenging the Cult of Speed.

It's not like I don't have other things to do: finish the red stripey socks, mend the socks I made for J. maybe 4 or 5 years ago, and darn the moth hole I just found in my new Goodwill sweater, but realistically, I have to go to a yarn store to do most of that, and that continues to be deferred. I'd like to make something for A. before I go as well, but of course, that also requires yarn and needles. That's my only real complaint, so life is pretty damn good. I'm just hoping for a little less liquid sunshine so I can do some walking.
