This time it’s for real

Yeah weighed in today- a pleasant surprise that the scale said 208. But no surprise since I’ve been too nervous/busy to eat! Today is a half day at work- but really I have nothing pressing to do- I’m leaving at 11 am to go to the bank and get some stuff taken care of for my mother (shocker). Remember the cookies I took home? I’m proud to say I have only eaten TWO of them- but they were the two that were my FAVORITES so I couldn’t help it lol. One was this tiny cheesecake bites but seriously they are the size of a dollar coin- and then the other is like a chocolate biscotti- I reserved it for my dessert last night

Hubby and I spent a nice evening together- we definitely needed it! I apologized to him for being so out of it the past week or so- he said he totally understood and knew that I was doing my best to get this new job (which is true). It’s more than a job- it’s a career- it’s my dream- I’ve always wanted to be a scientist AND a lawyer- and going into forensics as a criminalist is the best of both worlds for me. I get to work in a lab, I get to help solve crimes, and I get to testify in court as an expert witness- I mean HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT!? So all those years of of college getting a bachelor’s and master’s in science paid off! (THOUGH I’m still paying off my school debts and according to my schedule will be done in NINE more years *cry*). I promised hubby the next few days I’d stay away from the books and make the days about me, him, and the rest of the family.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy holiday- take care, be safe, and don’t go crazy with all that yummy food coming you way!
