I got my new purse and love it! I'm a little more iffy about the wallet because there are not enough card pockets, but I could make it work. It also can function as a clutch purse, which would be handy.

The new diet food so far has been quite good. I had waffles with fruit compote and sausage for breakfast, tofu pad thai for lunch, and chicken eggplant parmesan for dinner. I got my infuser pitcher and am trying strawberries and kiwi in it. I also got my new scale but haven't set it up yet.

The only problem is that I want to eat more food, but I'm trying to distract myself. I also got some Kindle Unlimited books on self-discipline. I wound up having a snack that was on my plan, although it wasn't what I wanted. Go me.

The first week of August is over. Yikes. I bet that August will go fast.

The weight-loss app asks what you are grateful for. I'm lucky to have a job in which we solve problems for people, which makes them happy and appreciative. I would hate to have a job in which people don't like what you're doing.

I'm wondering if I need a life coach to help encourage me to make progress on the house. Expensive though. Okay, I signed up with BetterHelp.

Took a nap and slept through until 11 PM. Oh shit, I just realized that I need to clear the breezeway too. Otherwise, I won't be able to get to the garage.

I tried the water from the infuser. It's good! I didn't have my hopes up.

I got the breezeway cleared. My back is seizing up, so I'm taking a break before moving stuff in the garage. It occurred to me that visualization might help me lose weight and get the house together, so I bought a couple of books and audiobooks on it. I've also been listening to Jim Rohn, which is helping motivate me. I got the area of the garage where the freezer will go cleared out. Now it's bedtime.

I didn't get up early to call Heartland. My devious mind included my phone alarm in my dream. I was throwing out some electronic cards "because they kept making noise". I think that tomorrow I need to set the alarm that Zara hates (a mechanical alarm with bells). It usually works.

Today was hot. Did I mention that the air conditioning at work was struck by lightning and isn't working? It was a long, hot, beastly day. The front desk worker wore shorts, which was smart of him. I was dressed formally in a blazer, short-sleeved shirt, and pants. I was sweltering. I got a lot of stuff done today though, which made me feel good. I like being productive.

I've done a little more research about Santa Fe. It has some condos that are within the realm of reason price-wise, although a lot of Californians are retiring there, which will no doubt run the prices up. And it's very pretty. When I was a kid, I saw a picture or something of the area and became enamored of it. Erik and I spent part of a day there, and I liked it. It's worth spending some time there. Expedia had a package with a week's stay, including airfare, for as low as $700. I want to make the trip happen next year. I also requested books from the library about the area, and they're starting to come in. I want to do some reading about it during this long weekend.

I can't believe that tomorrow, it will have been 20 years since Princess Diana died. I remember that day well, and it just seems like a few years ago.
