Yesterday, I shared with you some positive (I hope) changes going on with my family. But today, sadly, there is bad news. First, I didn’t get the movie role of a distant father who can’t connect with his daughter. Offering me that part would be typecasting. So, why didn’t they choose me for the part? Probably my utter lack of acting ability, but I won’t discount my demand for a bowl of only blue M&Ms on the set at all times, even when I’m not present. It’s probably for the best as I am spread thinner than my hairline these days.
And I didn’t have to go far this morning for more bad news. All I had to do was look out the window to see this …
April 21st starts the 4 best months of the year for me with the summer solstice smack dab at the midpoint. And it snows. It was snowing like crazy as I finished mowing the back lawn this morning. I’m hoping it’s an aberration and not a trend for these next few months.
And for the last bit of bad news, I stepped on a scale. Over the next few months, I need to lose weight. That seems to be constant bad news with me. I need to lose about 10 pounds to get down to a weight where I still want to lose another 5 pounds. Does that make sense? I didn’t think so. How can I lose the weight? I wish I could say through self control, but that historically has never happened. I think I’m going to have to increase my walking, biking, and swimming, although the spring snow could slow me down a bit.
