It's harder to lose weight if you don't give yourself permission to have snacks and treats every so often.

I've been putting off the trimming out front, but I think I'll do it right around sundown, when it's cooler. Maybe a little earlier, to avoid the bugs. In a little while, at any rate.

I picked up some chopped barbecue beef and buns today to use for sandwiches for a couple of days. I haven't had that kind of barbecue for a while so it's a treat. Since this weekend I need to get busy with some stuff around the house again if I don't have to stop to cook I may have an easier shot at finishing some things.

Good news, I think. My son's friends have found a place for the school year. He thinks. They haven't taken care of the finance end yet, so my last remark as he was trying to end the call (it wasn't long, but he was out with friends, apparently) was to be sure that they were dealing with the owner of the property. I can just see three young guys renting a place from someone who represents himself as being the owner - it's one of the scams the school off campus house folks warn about. But it would be nice to just make one trip instead of two.
