Bored and Lonely
Ok, so it’s been another busy week or two. I’ve not gotten to swim the past week cuz the water’s just too chilly. The daytime temp gets up to the upper 70’s, but at night it’s been getting down to the 59-60 degree range. And the water temp is now down to 70. I tried a couple of days, but the chill of the water causes me to hurt too much. So we’re shutting the pool down for the season. We’re hoping to enclose and heat it before next winter. That will be a very good thing.
My diet isn’t going too good at the moment. I’m bored and lonely. Micheal had to go up to southern Indiana for work, and I’m home alone. Not good when it comes to dieting. I don’t do alone very well, which has a direct effect on my diet. But I’m working on it.
I am trying to get some alternative exercise in. I’m shopping again…something I’d virtually quit doing when I was able to swim every day. And I’ve been doing a few things around the house that I’d been putting off. One of our neighbors offered to mow the front lawn while Micheal’s gone (if it’s gonna need mowing again) but I’ll still have to take care of the trimming and the back yard. Gee, it’s been years since I pushed a mower or handled a trimmer! I wonder if I still know how…LOL!!!
I’m still into my photography. I’m thinking I may go out tomorrow with my camera and do some drive-by shootings…LOL!!! I was at the drive-through at the bank yesterday and got caught by the teller pointing my camera at the wall of the bank. She wanted to know what I was taking pictures of. There happened to be a Luna moth on the wall and I was snapping pictures of it. I guess that would be called a drive-through shooting…haha!
Well, guess I’ll read a few blogs then see what kind of trouble I can get myself into.

You can do it. I know it is hard when you lose the support at home, but you do it when Michael is away, and when he is home again, I bet he will be so thrilled with your progress.
In the meantime you have us here for support, motivation and advice. We don’t want you to be bored and lonely, chat to us. There are some great forums too, where you can exercise and log your progress with your online buddies.
The photography sounds great. Why don’t you put some of your photos in your blogs. Catrina wrote a blog a few days ago about how to incorporate photos.

Keep strong.
Awww, I’m sorry Mary, I feel your pain, I don’t do well alone either. But you can do it. Have you tried any workout dvds? Leslie Sansone is good and low impact. Hugs, Kama
Im one to turn to food due to being lonely. Stay tough and keep that camera in your hand, not food to comfort. BTW, dive-thru shooting was funny
I know the feeling all too well! lol But I don’t get to see my hubby for another 4-5 months still, and he’s already been gone for 8 months.
Did get him home for a two week visit in early July though, so at least there was that. 
We’ve a pool too that isn’t heated at the moment. It’s been awesome all summer, but the pool temp is hovering right above 70 now and it’s just a matter of time before we have to close it up for the winter. So, I am feeling your pain there too.
Ever since having it put in two summers ago I’ve become a fish in the summer time. lol
Would love you see your photos sometime!
Did you do anymore more drive by shootings girl? I hope you share some of your pictures with us! Miss not having you here much!
Big HUGS!
Just wondering how you’re doing?
