Comas are underrated as a weight loss tool...
You know you miss your kid when you start looking longingly at girls around her age that have long
dark hair...or as you walk behind a girl with long brown hair searching for similarities, with a smidgen of hope that it is her and she travel ninja'd back to Canada to surprise you. Alas - it is never her...amazing how many cute, little mocha colored girls there are with long, lovely dark hair in this city.
Miss A has a few weeks in Melbourne, staying at her pal Rosie's house for free, time to relax and soak in the last bit of Australia before she departs for Queenstown, New Zealand on May 20. Queenstown looks gorgeous....very Jasper / Banff like actually ...mountains, lakes...and cold! I am hoping the cold temps will make her a tad bit more eager to get home to summer in August....one can dream. haha
It is a quiet Sunday. All I hear is the hum of the ice maker, working hard to make me ice. Love that thing. I am drinking tea, listening to a CBC radio podcast...listening to a lot of sadness around the world. I have been a bot disconnected from the news, purposefully, I do not even know wtf is going on in Baltimore and I do not want to know b/c its always the same thing and it hurts my soul. Nepal pretty
much wore me out this month, reached my limit of bad news in record time. Very sad to hear about the Canadian couple from St Albert, AB - was holding out hope they would be found but they are assumed buried under an avalanche of dirt. They were hiking in the epicenter of the quake unfortunately. Stories like this are a lot more intense when your daughter is far away, in unfamiliar lands.
Got my stand up desk @ work last week...not gunna lie, my work space is friggin awesome now...so much workspace! Funny realizing that standing up while working takes a bit of practice, my level of coordination is poor b/c trying to concentrate while standing seems difficult. haha I am sure with time it will be less of an issue. With my knee improving a bit I will be able to do a bit more standing. Some of the mats you can get, holy moly....you can get these spongy awesome mats for standing - some are 150.00 - ouch I think I'd like a cheaper version of one...or new crocs to wear while standing....seriously those things are so rubbery and spongy they really feel good to walk and stand on. OR I COULD LOSE SOME WEIGHT. There is always that.
Sometimes I wish I could just lapse into a coma for 6 months and lose a billion pounds and wake up - with no muscle atrophy of course (this is a dream after all), looking slim and trim with great hair hahaha JEN'S COMA WEIGHT LOSS PLAN...omg I have to Google this and see if I am the 1st one to think of this (unlikely)....
DAMMIT! CLICK HERE
Jesus, that article is amusing and disturbing...brides using feeding tubes 10 days before their weddings...wtf is wrong with this culture of fat haters? I shake my head.
