Week Four

January has skated past rather quickly.

My weight has dropped by 9 pounds, as of a few days ago. On and over target.

Reading has been patchy. Starts but very little in the way of finishes. Harry Potter is about my limit at the moment. Today I started to read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larson, having watched the film during the week. It’s gripping, although I wish I didn’t already know the outcome of the story.

Aside from that, we have been busy preparing the house for our oncoming arrival in April (hopefully - perhaps May). This week we’re arranging for some guys to come in and tile our kitchen floor. We also had a clear out of all sorts of old shit. And decorating. We’ve been decorating.

Things are going to start to change indeterminately in the next month. Abi finishes work and is already ever expanding, her stomach a constant reminder of what’s to come. Our lives are pretty much caught up with the whole thing at the moment.
