I did it! I kept on track weight wise. I will be honest that the scale this week wasn't looking like a drop but rather a hold your own week. I kept eating according to plan with a bit over in places but told myself to trust the process. Viola! My weight dropped 2 full pounds! Now I have to hang onto it. I have a week to cement that in as the following week I am traveling for 5 days and that may make it a bit hard to keep the pace. I am so close to my 'anniversary' date for my own record keeping that I want to finish the year strong. I am already more than 10 pounds more down than my best weight loss year so I am set to bust all my own records!!
Last week I was talking about the crazy amount of work to do in my garage. I have finished my end of it. 36 hours to get there but finished. Now I am going to be inviting my friends who are 'experts' to look at the sections of the garage and fine tune it. I have a friend who does painting and carpentry for a living coming first to look at those aspects. I am expecting another friend in the next week or two who is a mechanic to look at that aspect. Will still need a tiler, plumber and electrician to look at the rest! Dave was versatile in his skill set!
I had a 5-6 page list of things I wanted to get done between April and September. I am extremely close to crossing everything off the list. There are a few things that I am waiting on others to get it totally done but as far as what I can do myself I am nearly done! I think I will have it all crossed off before August 31. This week is about maintaining the yard, getting a quote on some window work I want done, getting some furniture moved from rental units to the put n take and signing bank papers.
As the work is slowing down, I am finding that my grieving is picking up a few notches as I am not being distracted by hard physical labour. I did expect this would happen however it is never easy.

Thank you for your words of support. I have grieved my dad, my mom, my brother, grandparents and uncle. I am somewhat prepared for the process. This is the first time that I am grieving a person who lived with me and was a presence 24/7. The reminders are constant and every where I look. My relatives were people I was very close to however I saw them on a more occasional basis. The exception was my mom who was a big presence by telephone. We talked long and often so when she died it felt empty and sad to not be able to call her every few days to share our lives with each other. I have reached out to my support people and they have risen to the occasion. I am truly fortunate to have so many people to turn to. Today I spoke about my sadness with my daughter. She understood and commiserated with me while reminding me that I had been deliberately pushing a lot of my emotions into a 'later' box and now later was here.
Expert friend number one came today and we were able to pull 5 more garbage bags out of the garage. I am glad that he was willing to take a look and to give me some advice. I had a good laugh when I saw his truck. He has a rusty old Nissan. Today it was covered in pink flamingos. I asked. He turned 40 last month and his sisters decorated his truck with 40 pink flamingo stickers.
