Well... the good news is that I found my mom's wedding band last night. She took it off in a hurry the other day and set her rings on her computer desk. When she went back to get them, her wedding band was gone. I looked all over and under that area and everywhere around it, but had no luck. The ring was missing for several days. Last night I was sweeping our small kitchen, and decided to sweep the little spot of tile by the front door as well. There, right behind the door was her ring. So that's good. She was really happy.
On the weight loss front, I got weighed at the doctor yesterday. I weigh exactly what I did two weeks ago. That's a bummer. I've been walking three miles, three or four days a week. But now I know that I need to 1) walk more miles every week, and 2) and to work on eating less and eating healthier. That's the hard part since I'm living with my mom. She really likes to cook, and she likes to have someone eat what she cooks. I'm the only someone around, so I end up eating too many second helpings. I need to work on that. To celebrate my weight loss plateau at five pounds lost, I had a Little Caesar's pepperoni pizza last night. Yeah, I know, I know. But I hadn't had a pizza in quite a while, and it tasted really good.
Also, I want to talk about the Kernersville library. When I walk to the library in the morning, I plop down in one of four big, old, comfy chairs they have in the center of the library. On the wall by these chairs is a big, glass display case where they display collections of various kinds. Right now there's a collection of handmade baskets. Yawn. Sure, they're well made, but not that interesting to the majority of people in the library. Before the baskets, they had a huge collection of Transformers there. Day after day as I sat nearby reading, I would see small children, about 3 to 7 years of age, literally RUN up to the case to check out all the Transformer toys. It was really cool to see kids get really excited by something in the library. I've been an avid reader since I learned to read, and I want libraries to survive and thrive the onslaught of technology like ebooks and e readers that are changing the way people read. Sure, it's cool to have 500 books on your tablet computer, but there's also something magical about wandering through those tall stacks of real, physical books. I hope that doesn't get lost in the future.
Finally, in that last post, I shared the story of Evantube HD, the 8-year-old making big bucks on You Tube. In previous posts, I wrote about why so many people, myself included, are having a hard time finding jobs these days. In the future, I'm going to write about more people who are finding success in various ways in today's work and business world. There's a huge paradigm shift happening in the work world these days, and lots of people need to find a new way to earn a living. Since I'm one of those people, this issue is important to me, and I'm going to spend a lot of time in this blog on this subject.
