Mom's Birthday!

As I was filling in the date at the top of this email I remembered it was my Mom's birthday today. It's hard to believe that it has been over two decades since she passed away.
I do miss her.
It's an absolutely gorgeous Spring day here in northern New Jersey. It's not quite shirt sleeve weather yet,however it's still pretty early in the day. I am sure by game time (the Yankees have a 1 pm start) it may very well be.
My day stated out in a fairly mundane fashion.
The scale was basically stuck on the same number from yesterday. Not quite a plateau, just a resting spot.
With Thursdays being my last bus driving day of the week, I am looking forward to a few days reprieve from behind the wheel.
Yesterday I searched the internet for some ideas as to where I might go to buy my new suit for this upcoming wedding.
 Damn are they expensive!
I was not looking forward to having to deal with that.
Did you ever notice though when you search for something on line, suddenly every one wants to sell it to you?
That's exactly what happened to me. 
Thank Goodness!
Jos. A. Banks  regular price $890....on sale for $98.92!
Guess where I am headed today?
Something cool did happen to me though that I wanted to share with you.
In 3 separate conversations this morning,in mid sentence on a completely unrelated subject, 3 different people interrupted themselves, turned to me and said "wow ., you look great!....really great!......really healthy".
While it was flattering and uplifting, the truth of the matter is that I am exactly the same weight I was in January.
I have noticed some shifts. 
My wrists are very slim. 
My socks go on more easily and go further up my calves.
My forearms are skinnier.
And for the most part, I am much more comfortable in my own skin.
It almost makes me want to forego the trip to the men's store, where I will don a jacket and be reminded of how the number on the sleeve is way bigger than where I once was or where I want to be.
I guess I'll just have to deal with it.
 Time to suck it up. 
I can't wear jeans to a wedding!
