Truly a year without writing. Writers call this heaven or hell, to me it was a break to focus on my weighty decision of GLP-1 and just deal with one big change at a time. My weight is under control. Clothes are falling off and I haver mastered cheap looks, that look great until I find my size. I have found that I like jeans, blazers, vests, tweeds,  basics t-shirts, and comfy sweaters with plenty of jewels, cool shoes, and a full rotation of handbags. I am basically preppy. Always was and I still am underneath the extra 75 pounds of weight that vanished with time and work. No more old lady clothes but nothing runway crazy that will be out tomorrow.

While I have been doing everything but writing, I have taken a fancy to everything face care. You name it, I have the product and use it well per the directions with an extra prayer that the miracle in a bottle works. I roll, massage, red light, serum and more serum, and the infamous neck care in a variety of forms. I do not believe in plastic surgery, so it me is against products galore.

My other diversion from the two books that sit is finding my fitness and what Mayo requests for muscle gain. I cannot swing big medicine balls or ropes due to former injury so I have chosen home pilates, yoga, barre in rotation with light weights plus cardio spin. Most can figure this out in less than a year but to me it was more than choosing, it had to be fiscally sound, able to do twice a day (before and after school) and activities to build upon and focus on strength, and longevity of movement. I still am not a fan, but it is not a choice, it is mandatory.

Now, that time has flown by and my house is in order it is back to writing as the stories won’t tell themselves and my nugget wants a signed copy. No pressure.
