Currently

hello Monday! what is currently going on in your world? here are the prompts...

Thinking about--too much. i am thinking of closing the blog for i do not know how long. comments have been hit and miss, i am not sure what to blog about anymore, and worst of all is that some of the comments are not that nice and words do hurt. 

Reading--a book about weight loss and diabetes.

Listening to--my co-worker talk to me and tell me about her weekend.

Watching--nothing at the moment, but hope to watch either Days of our Lives or a Lifetime movie during lunch.

Thankful for--being alive and a job and for some toning going on with my body so that is good.
