Oriel's House of Fluffy Pancakes

Six Pounds

I was all excited to be able to document this. I got on the scale the other day, which I don't do very often at all (you have to understand, I have the same fear as other folks, only in the reverse). I was so thrilled. It said that I had actually gained 6 pounds since the last time I checked, which was probably over 6 months ago. And then Levi told me that he had gained a similar amount in the last several months too. This was encouraging to us both until I realized that my clothes aren't fitting any better, and in fact some feel worse. And there's nothing to account for it at all. no changes in lifestyle. I thought that perhaps getting more sleep was the thing, but that only lasted a couple weeks and it was about two months ago. so that's not it either.

Anyhow, I think I've got it all figured out. Our scale is one of those really cheap place holders that we got several years ago at the clearance section of Wal*Mart for showing the house I think. we have been meaning to get another so that we can verify our bulk meat orders when they arrive, but this has yet to happen. I was hoping that the foot care specialists I went to see yesterday would have a scale, but no such luck.

So, no real news to report after all. I hope everyone else is faring a bit healthier than we. Analeasa's struggling with a very persistent wheezy cough today, Levi had two near emergency injuries in a couple hours last night, and I feel like I've been run over by a truck.

So, there you go. I think I may be making a trip to see Violet and step on their really neat-o glass weight measurement device soon. Besides I need to check out the new place since they've gotten "settled."
