Made it Through the Day

 Just to recap the day, we got a lot done, but not in the way I'd planned.

The dryer stopped drying late last night, and with a big trip coming up that presented a dilemma. But fortunately the dryer has stopped working on previous occasions, leading me to buy a clothesline.

And so I spent a fair amount of time setting up and fiddling with the "design," helped in no small part by each of the three remaining sons.

All but one person got their laundry done so that's another thing off the checklist except for a few last minute loads on Saturday.

The heating element is busted on our dryer, but Loren managed a temporary fix. Don't know how long it will last so I'm saving it for the last minute laundry. A new heating element is on its way from Amazon.

In weight loss news there is progress to report. After two weeks I have lost 7 pounds :-)

That is a decent start. My goal for the big Hoyt reunion in Georgia not necessarily to lose any more, but definitely not to gain any, either. We'll see how that goes. At the moment I am feeling like I can keep it up. I even got through Nolan's birthday meal with small helpings and just a sliver of cake and smidgen of ice cream.

One day at a time.
