Even though we have someone do the calculating for us, I'm the one who has to remind everyone to download T4s, etc. It's a headache.<br />Your garden's going to thrive after all your nurturing. My garden remains buried under a thick layer of snow. I'm so eager for signs of spring.

I remember in my 20's when I got down to my lowest ever adult weight (and went running every morning which blows my mind now!) I still felt like a fat kid no matter what the mirror and the scale showed me. Maybe it's that way for everyone who spends most of their life overweight?

I'll keep it low key and small, too, with just a group of six of us going for a meal at the nearby Italian restaurant (Mum can walk there, so nobody needs a lift or has to drink soft drinks only).<br />My birthday present to myself is a new computer. The old one is 15+ years old, and it shows... Also, the OS can not be upgraded anymore, which means I can not play my favourite games any longer. Today (Sunday), I am going to backup data on the old one and maybe start setting up the new one - it's been sitting in its unopened box in my bedroom for a few days already.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-88924609144678797262023-03-18T23:33:23.541-04:002023-03-18T23:33:23.541-04:00A big congrats on the weight loss!!!
