I haven't weighed, but I'm thrilled with my measurements--waist 26, bust 35-1/2, hips 36. One of the gray Ladies said something about "you slim young things" & I had to look around and see that I was the only one there to realize to whom she was referring. I take a size 14 now, having skipped over 16 very rapidly. I do believe that people get fat out of boredom, after all.
The places where the moles were are scarcely visible at all and I'm so glad I had them off.
Back to the 12 cards & 35 letters now.
Love,
Helen
P.S. My typhoid arm was sore just that one night & otherwise didn't bother. I'll get the last shot in Washington at the Pentagon.
