Journal - 4 September 2009

Today was a banner day for Tess. She completed her third, fourth and fifth tandem skydives, all from 13,500 feet above sea level. Jim and I took her to Jumptown, in Orange, MA, where she got hugged and mauled by the instructors for being the first person any of them had seen make three tandem jumps in one day. Her next step is Accelerated FreeFall, or AFF, where she will learn to jump *shudder* solo.

Jim's here (hurray!!!!) and I'm still being successful about eating right; this is an Accomplishment. I had a veggie wrap and half a chicken quesadilla last night for dinner, then a bowl of raisin bran for breakfast today, followed by an apple, followed by a chicken caesar salad (dressing on the side, thank you) and a bottle of Lipton's citrus-flavored green tea (at 180 calories, if you please). Tonight's dinner will be ... um ... probably spinach and chicken and some nachos (we brought those home from the restaurant at which we had lunch).
