So... [View all]

…it was hot and humid on Memorial Day. My son was marching in the parade. My family was meeting in town at the end of the parade route to see him, and then we all planned to go to my in-laws’ for swimming. I had a lot of trouble getting dressed that morning because I don’t like to show any leg, or my upper arms, and I like to wear dark colors and it was so damned hot. I was also nervous about last year’s swim suits fitting because I’m sure I haven’t lost any weight since last summer, and I have probably gained some.

The end of the parade route is near a bus stop. The closest place to park when town is all jammed up for a parade is the parking lot where I work – about 7 blocks east. My Mother-in-law parked there and walked to meet us. Upon arriving, my Mother-in-law says, “Well, I don’t have to do my work-out now after that long trek.”

I say, “I make that walk twice a day, to and from the bus stop.”

She marvels, “Then why can’t you lose any weight?”

So after we saw my son in the parade and picked him up, they all went to the house to swim and I went home by myself and tried not to eat too much.

I did 5 loads of laundry.

I accidentally washed at the wrong setting and shrunk some of my clothes.
