DAY FIFTY-FIVE: Wednesday

Moving things from cardboard boxes into plastic storage containers, and pulling out stuff for a yard sale.

Back in 1912 or so, Theodore Roosevelt got shot prior to giving a speech. The bullet lodged in his rib. He spoke for an hour before going to the hospital. He recovered in about two weeks. It is taking me longer to recover from a mere COLD than it took T.R. to bounce back after GETTING SHOT! 🙁

DAY FIFTY-THREE: Another Monday

Another Monday. Another early morning. Another day at work. Still feeling the vestiges of the cold, so I’m pretty well wiped out by the time I get home.

I stopped at WalMart on the way home from work and purchased a dozen plastic storage bins in a variety of sizes. I am intending to leave nothing packed in cardboard boxes by the time I’ve finished cleaning out The Room of Doom.

DAY FIFTY-ONE: Recap Fail

Today is supposed to be a halfway point recap on the progress I’ve made toward my “100 Days” goals. Now what were those goals again? Ever since I came down with this cold at least thirteen days ago I’ve felt too congested, woozy, and lethargic to do anything. I’m still not feeling much better – slightly less sinus congestion at this point, but the cough is lingering and I have zero energy or enthusiasm to do anything, including writing the recap I wanted to write.

I weighed myself today. 194.8 pounds. Stomach circumference is 38-1/2 inches relaxed, 37-1/2 inches pulled in.
