Focus, focus, focus

Like the title says focus - I think I have lost mine.  This week since the surgery was cancelled I seem to be a little down.  I am bummed and conflicted - wanting to get this done and behind me, but not wanting to spoil the things I have already planned.  I have not changed the surgery date yet but I will.  I can then just take time off in October and recover.  In the meantime, I will try to get back on track, eat better and get back to walking and working out everyday to help my other issues like blood pressure, weight, and any other risks.  I still struggle with the damn abs being tight, crampy, and by the day's end I am struggling just to stand up straight.  Yoga does help and if I exercise early in the day that is good too.  If I wait until the end of the day, I am usually too tight to do much without a real strain on my lower back. 

We have new carpet coming for the living room, new tile for the downstairs bathroom, and then I will order new blinds for the living room.  A new sofa is also on the list and reducing some of the furniture I have sitting around the house.  I want to make the blue room (which is currently filled with stuff) into a meditation/yoga area, change out drapes and give the ability to darken the room, put in my yoga equipment and be able to stretch and do my poses and enjoy the space.  There is no real other function for that room and it is just a hodge podge of stuff we never use.  Joe got that game table with chess/checkers board and has NEVER used it and I am ready to move it downstairs or sell the damn thing (or give it away).

The cooler weather has been a nice change although it does not make me any more motivated to do anything other than sit.  Where did Cindy go?
