Outside My Window

View from the towpath heading back toward Big Bend.

I am thinking…
about my son, Calvin, who is headed to the coast of North Carolina to help the hurricane victims.

I am thankful…
that Calvin and Sarah made it through Hurricane Florence okay.  Also grateful that Noah made it back from The National Catholic College Cross Country competition last week.

I am pondering…
this entire imbroglio with Judge Kavanaugh. I remember the Justice Clarence Thomas hearings and how difficult it was to get him seated on the bench. I also kinda remember that the loss of Robert Bork gave us David Souter and I would hate to see something like that again.

I am also captivated by how well the Saul Alinsky tactics work. 

One of my Favorite Things…

Rosie pushing into the top 20 out of 102 runners.

In the kitchen…
Meatloaf tonight

I am wearing…
Blue capri workout pants and a black T shirt.

I am going…

• Walking, exercising, weight lifting and ab work as much as possible. I finally hit 3 miles. I’m walking a bit faster. 
• PrayMoreNovenas.com.
• to cut my carbs via the Wheat Belly Total Health: The Ultimate Grain-Free Health and Weight-Loss Life Plan recommendations and Intermittent Fasting.  
• Last year, I lost 5 pounds in one month by eating one meal a day with intermittent fasting. I’ve fluctuated downwards from there but haven’t gained any back. I have been eating about 2 meals a day but this month I’m going to try to lose another 5 pounds before October 15. My ultimate goal is going to be to lose my mommy’s tummy. What made me decide to finally try for a totally flat ab was Miss C. thumping on my belly while we were waiting in line at the store. I’m kinda done with that. 
• More flute practice in this week. 
• Prepare my labs for Wednesday for my science class. 
• Give my editor more information for my book proposal.

A quote to share…

“When you fast,* do not look gloomy like the hypocrites. They neglect their appearance, so that they may appear to others to be fasting. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward.17

Matthew 6:16
