Pre-Hibernation

It's Not Official Just Yet But I Am Close To It. I Consider The Saturday After Black Friday To Be My Official First Day Of Hibernation For Me. Black Friday Is The Conclusion And Grand Finale For The Robin Hood Foundation Of Danville. The Blanket Drive Will Be The 4Th Annual Event To Collect Blankets To Help Those Less Fortunate. Every Bed Should Have A Blanket. Lowering Your Thermostat At Night Allows You To Save Money While You Are Asleep. For Every Degree You Lower The Thermostat Saves You 3% On Your Heating Cost. This Years Blanket Drive Will Be Noticed More Through Our Local Schools. We Are Focusing More On Elementary Students Because They Are More Likely To Take Home The Flyers We Are Distributing To Their Parents. I Want To Personally Thank Those Who Have Donated The Cost In Having The Flyers Copied For The Students In Danville And Area Communities. The Following Week The Blankets Will Be Distributed To Those Who Need Them. From That Point On I Am Officially In Hibernation. This Year However Will Be A Little Different Than Previous Ones. In Years Past I Have Gained Back Most All The Weight I Had Lost In The Summer Months. I Am Motivated In Trying To Maintain My Present Weight. My Chances In Shedding Unwanted Weight Is Greater In The Warmer Months When I Am Most Active. I Really Don't Expect To Lose Any Weight In The Winter Months Because Of The Holidays And The Likelihood My Path To The Fridge Is Frequent. My Brother Has Been Walking The Same Path Day After Day, Weather Permitting. This Has Helped Him To Lose Weight Over A Period Of A Couple Years. I Pray We Don't Get Too Much Snow This Year. My Continued Prayers For Days Of 50 Degree Days Or Higher. When It Snows It Would Be Difficult For Me To Walk Without Falling And Taking The Chance That I Hurt Myself. My Winter Will Consist Of Bowling My Three Leagues. Playing Euchre Online And With Friends And Relatives. The First Day Of April I Will Get Started Once Again In My Truck. Hopefully I Will Weigh Less And Be Able To Get In And Out Of The Truck Much Easier. All Of The Leaves Have Fallen From The Tree's On My Property. Now All I Have To Do Is Clean Them Out Of My Gutters And Mow Them Into Mulch. The Garage Is Almost Clear To Make Room For The Car. I Don't Like Scraping Windows Or Clearing Snow Off The Car. I Plan To Dress Warm And Walk As Much As I Possibly Can This Winters Season.
