Busy Day

Don and I had a pretty busy Monday off. He helped me catch up on some laundry, and I took down all of the Christmas decorations and packed them away. I took the tree down on New Years' Day, but I wanted to leave the lights up longer. I just couldn't bear having Christmas lights up on such a warm, spring-like day! I fully intended on getting out and walking in the beautiful weather, but I ended up cleaning all day! Don played Frisbee golf and then worked out at the gym. I went to the gym after dinner and did water aerobics. It felt so good to get in the pool. My legs are sore from all of the walking I've been doing, but the water aerobics workout is really a lot more challenging and burns more calories. The downside of exercising at 7PM is that I am wide awake at 11:21! (That also comes from sleeping late on Mondays with Don, but I'm not complaining!)

Some really great news is that one of the publishers I contacted about my children's book, Pay Attention, Andy, emailed me and requested my manuscript! Yea! I did some editing and wrote out what kind of illustrations I want to use....I actually hope to do the illustrations myself, and they are open to that.....and I emailed it back tonight. They asked me to respond quickly, so I did. I hope this works out to be something serious, but if it isn't, I'm still going to keep trying.

Well, it's officially way past my bedtime, and I'm going to pick Little Man up tomorrow, so I'm outta here! I'm weighing in tomorrow morning, and I'll report in tomorrow night! Thanks for your prayers and support.
