Success at last Skyping with my daughter and grandsons. Buying a new computer was totally worth it! It's so lightweight, I could walk around with it. My grandson wanted to say hi to our dogs, which was really sweet. Unfortunately, that made him sad and he kept saying, "I want to go there and see them all!" It broke my heart!
By the end of the conversation, though, he was being natural and just sharing neat things with me. He ended the conversation with an "I love you, Grammie Gillian!" and a big smooch. Just what I needed! I can't wait until he receives the special book I bought him on my trip back East. I bought a second one for me and he is excited about reading the book together on Skype.

I'mdoing well jumping back into good eating habits. Now, if only my computer issues could go so well!
My seven year old laptop has been acting up, so I took advantage of a $100 off deal at my local retailer and purchased an Acer Aspire V5 11.6" screen Notebook.
It's been a long time since I've had to set up a new computer. I'd forgotten how much work is involved. The only thing that went easily was downloading the Microsoft Office that I purchased. Nowadays, you don't get the actual software, just a key that you type in on their website. It went off without a hitch, but iTunes and Skype gave me HUGE issues/problems. Almost an hour on hold and on the phone call with Apple yielded virtually no hints as to why I was having so many problems. Everything she read me from her resources I had already accessed online last night. Stupid. The Skype issue seems to have resolved overnight, thank the Lord. Now I can finally Skype with my daughter and grandsons! I'm excited to see how it goes the first time we try it.
Computer stuff aside, all is well. Hope everyone else's week is getting off to a good start.

I'm back from vacation and feeling reacclimated. It was a great bonding experience for my dad and I. Seeing my mother in Vermont was lovely, but she dropped a bomb on me, admitting that she'd been diagnosed and treated for TWO separate types of cancer over a year ago. She stated that the reason she didn't tell me was that she wanted to do the BRAC1 & BRAC2 genetic testing first. She still hasn't done so due to various insurance issues and her two different physicians' reluctance to deal with a new genetic testing company. The old one that had cornered the market gets $3,000 for the test. There is no a second viable alternative that costs half as much.
Anyway, my mother is doing well and had the best treatment available. She is doing all the follow-up I could hope for and I have enough medical knowledge to feel alright about things.
My dad and I did a road trip from my mom's in Vermont down to Cape Cod. There were three wonderful days of family events and I felt enveloped in their love and caring. I plan to initiate ongoing relationships with those I only met on this trip and continue the wonderful relationships I had formed from those I'd met on previous trips.
I didn't always succeed at having healthy snacks available and as I suspected, sometimes breakfast didn't happen until 11 am or later (my dad has always had a different schedule). Despite the hurdles, though, I feel that I did fairly well and am grateful to only have gained one pound.
I hope everyone is well and I look forward to catching up on my buddies' goings-on. It's a beautiful autumn day here in the NW, so I'm off for a much-needed long walk.

Gaining 0.2 kg a Week
14 September 2014
Just when my back started feeling better and I was raring to exercise, I got hit with a stomach bug. Yesterday morning I was actually down 3 lbs. Not a healthy way to lose weight, that's for sure.
I leave Tuesday morning for a week back East with my dad. I'm excited, but I had hoped to spend some quality time with my sons, one of whom moves 2 hours away for his senior year of college while I'm away on my trip. Cross your fingers for me! I'm hoping to do something with them this afternoon, if my stomach cooperates. Oh yeah, and I still need to pack, which takes some energy. At least I wrote a packing list of exactly what I'm taking, and everything is laundered.
Have a great week, FS people.
