In Bloom...

The good news is I have been working out regularly this week.  Not every day, but 3 times.  Baby steps, right?  I’ve been eating okay.  That’s always the hardest part with me.  I love food and I love fatty foods.  Foods smothered with melted cheese are my weakness.  I haven’t gotten to the gym as much as I would have liked since I’m studying like crazy for the second CPA test (which is this Friday!!!).  I’ve been trying to get in as many hours as possible to prepare.  I’m a little freaked out.

An update on Mr. Ass – the recommendation was surgery to remove a piece of disc that is pushing against his nerve.  This is what is causing the constant pain down his left leg all the time.  The surgeon is also going to create some more room around another disc that is bulging.  Unfortunately, there isn’t anything they can do right now to close up the burst disc or prevent the second one from rupturing.  He has degenerative discs, so it’s probably only a matter of time until another one blows.  He’s only 33; you’d think he was a lot older.  So… surgery in mid-September.

I’ve been spending a little time in the yard now that it’s cooling off.  I’m pleased that my first summer with my own garden has produced good results.  Here a few samples of my bounty…
