I’m so happy that the summer is starting to wind down a bit. At least as far as the weather is concerned. After a week or so of temperatures above 90 degrees and several minor “tornadoes” we’re getting a little break. It’s supposed to be under 90 degrees for the first few days of August. That makes me happy. Once August comes and goes the weather will be so much nicer. I’m looking forward to that because I’ve had my fill of high temperatures and humidity!

I’m really looking forward to fall this year. I have so many things planned. I don’t even bother planning things in the summer because it’s too hot! Good thing Halloween isn’t until fall. Can you imagine what kind of costumes people would be wearing if it was in July when it’s 90 degrees out! I prefer fun costumes that are creative and interesting. They’re better to wear and to admire.

I’m feeling really fat tonight. I don’t think I even ate dinner tonight because I filled up on chips and ice cream. I have no motivation when it comes to eating the right things. I actually feel really bad about eating the chips, but I’m not really sad that I ate the ice cream. I’ve had a sore throat for the past few days and the ice cream is soothing to my throat. Besides, it was “light” ice cream so it had half the calories and fat as regular ice cream. That has to mean something!

I hope to get back on the right track as soon as I feel better. I won’t use the sore throat as an excuse to eat ice cream every day. When I do get back on track I’m going to have to be really strict with myself because it’s so hard to lose weight when you don’t have fat burners, a gym, or anything like that to help you out. I’m pretty much trying to lose weight all on my own. That’s going to be hard.

For some reason my body decided to get sick once again. I go through this every few month or so. I think I got sick this time because of the weather. One day it was in the high 80s, cool and raining and the next day it was sunny, humid and in the high 90s. Weird summer weather! I hate summer colds because you can’t ever get comfortable. The things you usually do to get rid of colds in the winter are not really helpful in the summer. Who wants to drink hot tea and eat hot soup every day when it’s almost 100 degrees. Not me!

I really need to figure out hat’s wrong with my immune system. I hoped that by taking vitamins every day I could keep a lot of things at bay. I guess some things you just have to deal with. I’ll never stop taking vitamins though because they do help me a lot. I notice a difference when I don’t take them. They really are a necessity to me.

The other day my mother told me that she wants us to start looking into getting life insurance again. Every time she becomes sick she gets really worried about what I’ll do if she passes away. I really hate having that conversation. No one wants to think, let alone talk about losing the one person in the world that they care most about. It’s extremely sad and depressing. However, I do understand that it’s necessary since dying is a part of life. I’d just prefer it if I died before my mother.

I guess eventually we’re going to have to meet with the insurance agent and discuss policies. I know nothing about life insurance. I’ve read some things about the best term life insurance online, but I’m not even sure if that’s the type of insurance we’re supposed to get. Ugh, it’s all so stressful.
