I’ve piddle around today but I’ve finally got the reports ready to go to the boss. So glad I double checked things on Friday.
Kinda funny to me that my co-worker left me a vacation slip to sign stating that her niece would have surgery on the 13th. Guess what, it’s on Friday 13th. I don’t care though. It will be extra money to go on vacation. And I’ve decided to take the whole week not just the week end. I’ll have a long drive to and from the Smokey Mts so I’m thinking and planning ahead.
When I talked to my neice yesterday I told her that my bff and I would rent a motel room. She has rented a cabin with 5 bed rooms and that’s enough for her parents, sis and hubby and brother and her brother who was killed family. I can’t wait to see all of them.
I’ve sent my neice a text today to see how she is doing. She found out that she’s pregnant but started bleeding yesterday.
I’m getting better at riding the bike. It’s easier said than done though, especially when working 12 hour shifts.
Food has been horrible today. I stopped by the grocery store on the way to work this morning and bought some pound cake. I can’t stop eating it. AND I know what is going to happen with in a couple of days if not before then. I can’t blame any one but myself.

It’s been gorgeous so I decided not to waste time inside. I trimmed bushes and worked at cleaning off the side walk. Not sure if this was tree sap or mold from previous floods. The side walk was black in some places. I had to use straight bleach. Also cleaned the outside of the Rav4. When I was outside I noticed water around the water meter. It was full so I called L. to have the stand by person come out to check it out. The leak is on the city side. L told me that we were down to 2 filter’s. The effluent valve has leaned over on it’s side again on number 1 filter. Hopefully that can be fixed Monday.
The neighbor has had his dog on a leash today. It honestly felt good not to have to worry about that creature snapping at my heels.
Food has been better. Not enough of it to be exact. But I have not been hungry either.
I did ride the bike for 15 more minutes last night. I will not make my 500 minutes for March. Wow tomorrow is April.

I hate when that small dog comes charging over here acting like he’s going to bite off my foot. If I’d had a stick this morning I would not have hesitated to use it. Instead I looked him straight in the eyes and told him in a stern voice to go home. After two times he tucked his tail and went home. We do have a dog leash law and I know the dog catcher.
I paid to have the lawn mowed today. I’m not going to chance hurting my back this week.
I did get to exercise last night for 20 minutes. Think I could have gone longer but the phone rang. My sister called me back. I’d sent her two text message’s concerning relatives. She told me that I was invited to a baby shower on the 21st of April. I think I’m going since I didn’t get to go earlier.
I do better when I plan and stay on schedule. Not planning kills me especially at night. This week I need to stay away from the fast food places.
Today has been a house cleaning day. I’ve gotten two rooms done and started on the third one. Tomorrow I’ll clean the kitchen and bath room’s. Laundry is also done for the day. I’ll have one more load of laundry tomorrow.

This has been a busy week. End of the month reports are always due on the first and that’s Sunday. I’ve gone over all the paper work with a fine tooth comb. I’m thinking that L has been leaving N some error’s to catch on his paper work. I found that when going over the copies. Yes the little stinker got me into trouble over that and I will repay her. Think I already have in a since she now knows that I can go back into the machines and find out if she is really testing or making up her lab result numbers.
Haven’t been doing any exercise this week due to the fact that my lower back has not let me. It still hollers at me. In fact I’ve taken another pain med this morning. I really don’t like to take them but when two arthritis strength Tylenol’s don’t help, I take one.
Food has not been the best this week but the scale showed 197.6 with clothes on this morning.
It definitely didn’t help matters when I eat out to many times and eat to late at night. And didn’t help when I at pizza for lunch today.
Got a surprise this morning. T, my boss, brought my vacation sell back check to me. More money to spend on vacation at Pigeon Forge in July. Also took an electrical cord that I’ve run over with a lawn mower to the shop at work. B said they could repair it and use it there. Also put some things in the dumpster while I was at work. I saw my friend who is also a boss and told him that I got to change my insurance. Sure am glad he came and talked to me about that.
Need to run to the bank and go to Walmart.
Laura, I try to post on your blog but it say’s that you are currently not in the data base!!!!!!!

Friday it was so pretty that I mowed the back yard, and washed the car. Saturday morning I got up and could barely move. Had severe pain in the lower back. My diagnosis is that I’ve stirred up the bone spurs in the lower back. It’s still painful if I move a certain way. Taking Tylenol arthritis strength tablets which is helping. Can’t find the mobic that the doctor gave me. I’m dreading work tomorrow because of it.
Went to Paragould, my home town/city, to eat lunch with the uncles. We had a good visit. I installed a new back up system on my uncle’s computer. But I don’t think it’s the right thing. My sister said that her’s was an external hard drive and this one was a portable hard drive. He still has the flash drive which is waht I would use.
This morning we went to church and ate at Grecian after lunch. I was hungry for a good cheesburger. My aunt and I went to Walmart and to Walgreen.
I’m dreading next week for my uncle. A missionary from India is landing at the Memphis, TN airport late Wednesday night. They will not get back to my uncle’s till around 3 a.m. My uncle, 81, is to old to be doing this trip this late at night.
Food has been good this week end and so has exercise.

Don’t know why I woke up at 4.30 a.m. today but I was wide awake. I got up and honestly enjoyed the quiet and peacefulness of the morning.
My bff called and we went to eat Mexican for lunch. I’m getting better at not ordering the biggest meal they have. Oh and I learned a new word in Spanish today. But I’m not sure how to spell it. Our waiter said okie dokie in a southern draw. He’s Spanish.
It was so nice outside this afternoon that I got the lawn mower out and mowed the back yard. It took 30 minutes. Then I washed my vehicle. I loved every minute of it. My allergies may remind me later of my day outside. My neighbor had mowed the front lawn while I went to eat lunch.
She, bff, called later tonight and wanted me to go to Jonesboro with her tomorrow but tomorrow is the day that I eat lunch with my uncles. My aunt has called and reminded me to remember the things for pop’s computer and my cell phone. I forgot the phone last time I went. My phone is making weird nosies lately.
No news from the doctor’s office on the cbc and b12. Will probably have to wait till Monday for the results. I may need to check the voice mail cause my phone hasn’t been ringing all the time. It’s definitely time for a new phone.
Think I’ve over done things today. My back is painful upon rising. I’m going to soak tonight in a tub of hot water.
Suzanne is helping me get my blog back to normal. Thanks Suzanne.

Got up this morning to drizzling rain but looked at the radar and major clouds were in TN. My trip to the doctor was good. Had my lab work, but not what I thought was to be. I thought that it was time for the cholesterol, thyroid lab but just a cbc and a b12 check. If they called me in december I don’t remember it. Maybe this is why my sinuses have not cleared up.
Ate at Olive Garden. The food was alright but it’s not my favorite place to eat. So far this has been all I’ve eaten. I fasted for the cholesterol lab work so no breakfast. Not sure what I’ll eat tonight, maybe left overs.
My 15 minute bike ride has been done. This was a 3 mile ride. It will depend on my mood as if I do more tonight.

Food has not been bad.
Exercise=10,000 steps but not altogether.
Rode the bike today for 11 minutes also did 15 reps of chest flys and bench presses.
I have to prioritize things when I get home. Tonight, dinner was first on the agenda. Put in a load of white clothes to wash, then did my little bit of exercise. Ironed two pair of jeans and now I’m getting ready for bed.
We may have storms to roll through tonight. Looked at the radar on the computer and the storms have died down a lot. Praying we only get rain.
Looks like the girls mowed the back yard today. Now my turn to mow the front and side yards..

I’m back on the radar with my blog. Didn’t want to be but was wonering if this was the cause of my problem logging in to the 3fc sight.
Now I find my blog and go to the log in and sign in that way. This is so weird.
Yesterday I had a little over 8800 steps, rode the bike for 2.2 miles which is only ten minutes but it’s more than I normally would do. Then completed 5 minutes of toning/pilates. Forgot to wear the pedometer today.
Laura, you are right. It’s more about getting that hdl level and blood pressure up to par. Think I’ve grown used to the way I look.
I need to stop by the grocery store on the way home and pick up a few things for the rest of the week.

There’s absolutely nothing going on today at work. I’ve had two phone calls.
Not sure how tough I’ll be on myself with this go around on weigh loss. I’m mainly concerned with my cholesterol levels.
