Well good morning Miss P and the rest of you wonderful ladies. I am beating myself up this morning. Or maybe just kicking myself in the *ss is more like it. Stayed up much later then I should have between chatting online with Rhonda and then sitting on the couch so getting up this morning for me was a bear. But I did it and I went to the gym. I came home, fixed myself some scrambled egg whites and canadian bacon and my morning cup of tea. Before eatting I went on the scale since I have not gone to a WW meeting in several weeks. Well you should have seen my face when those digital numbers flashed 155.5..............wow the same I was 2 weeks ago and 3 weeks ago and 4 weeks ago. What gives here.........I walk 1 1/2 miles 4 to 5 days a week, follow the WW guide lines 98% of the time, don't drink wine or alcohal.............nothing has changed but my age. And that number goes up daily. I pulled my WW book back out and I am going to try the Core program. I am also going to drop my WW membership since I do not have the time to go to our local meetings on Tuesday night. Plus since the old leader left I do not care for the new one. I need to find a Friday morning meeting or a Saturday morning meeting or just plain kick myself in the backside and do it home. Which I know I can do and I can save $39.95 a month too boot! I only have that 30 minute window in the morning because Aunt Linda needs to be home and get ready for work and she can not wait for the 1 1/2 miles to be done........she won't do any extra. I have tried running a lap or two but then I find it hard to catch up with her for another round or two of walking. Its like a comedy act sometimes. I can not get there with my work hours and home responisbilites.......argh. I do not know what to do other then sew my darn mouth shut. I had a cow last night when I walked in the door at 4:00. I yelled at both Katie and Rob........they just throw dirty dished into the sink, not the dishwasher or even wash them themselves, Rob must have walked past the over flowing garbage can in the kitchen 4 times and the 2 bags sitting on the patio at least a dozen times. Why do I have to tie the bag close, put it on the pation and then ask one of them to take the trash outside???? Because I am stupid, that is why. I really want to go on another girls weekend and extend it to 2 weeks away. They really do seem to function when I am gone. I will give my Bill credit he does help with the dinner stuff after we finish eatting but that is it. Venting here and I can hear the bed police upstairs now. Shower time and its a full day..............not wanting to go to the office big time but at least boss is away all day today. Thanks for listening.............I know Donna is gonna wanna come down and kick some butt for me, lol.
Sunshine has appeared after a rainy day yesterday but along with the sun the wind has picked up and temperatures not as warm as yesterday. I was able to get Otto out for a walk after dinner before pelting rain came back last night. Looks like we'll be bundled up a little more warmly for tonight's walk.
Battling a bit of the blues this morning. It was one of those nights that I had trouble falling asleep was awake at my customary 3:15 and then tossed and turned until 5:15. Just too much junk in my brain being tossed around. DH is working at the dealership for the next couple of days cleaning everything out. It was nice (interject a bit of sarcasm here) that Ford bought them lunch yesterday. DH is after to me that I need to stay in a routine and get myself up and down to the basement in the morning. He's absolutely right but just can't seem to do it. He's threatening to push me out of bed in the morning so maybe I had better set the alarm and actually not turn it off in the morning.
Work is work. It was a bit calmer yesterday. My coworker and I are supposed to have our new desks by Friday morning but along with it comes a 5' wall separating us. Looks like I'm going to be in a rather small cubicle which I've never had to do. No natural light just a wall to the right of me a wall to the left of me and a wall behind me. I've always been in an open space and not sure how I'm going to like being so confined. I'm sure the intent was so that we can't talk. Sometimes I feel like I'm in grade school working there.
Not much else going on. Resumes still being distributed but no feedback from anything. Feeling a bit frazzled this morning and trying to get on a positive note but today seems to be a bit of a struggle. Sorry that my mood is definitely on the downside.
I am thinking of you all. Nancy-I'm glad that your dental appointment went well. Oldest DD is having her wisdom teeth pulled Friday and then is due for 2 root canals after that. Karen-what track events is your DD going to be doing? Rhonda-glad to hear that your Dad is doing better. Patty-so glad that Rick's job offer was finalized and good luck to Ryan with the 2 jobs.
Better get my act together and get ready to head to the workplace. Hope everyone enjoys a wonderful Wednesday.
After howling wind and rain pretty much all day yesterday and very late last night, Wednesday is just gorgeous - still windy and cold again, but really pretty.
Good message, Patty. I think that holds true for other things in life too. Sometimes we just have to let go of unrealistic expectations and get on with it.
It is a very sad morning here. We found out early this morning that our dear sweet friends lost their son last night after he apparently took his own life. We don't know the details and they are unimportant to me right now. We've known this family for 13 years. Nick and our Shawn and Sarah have grown up together, playing sports, swim team, school. Sarah and Nick have had an on-going flirtation/crush for years. Recently, he went down a different, troubled
Lori, I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew and will add him to my prayers. I hope there are no permanent after effects from so many toxins in his system. Thank goodness they found him in time to get him to the hospital. Hugs to you.
