I’m trying to get into the blogs, but there’s been no connection yet, so I’m typing this in Word.

 

It’s overcast and misty today.  Ugh.  Was sort of drizzily yesterday too, but bf totally surprised me and did haul all the leaves piled in the backyard out to the curb, and the village did pick them up.  Glad for that, even though there’s still more leaves on the lawn to be raked.  I think it might dry out this weekend.  Crossing my fingers.

  

Yesterday was alright at work.  I still have a very messy pile on my desk, but that’s about it.  Things have calmed down after our department’s busy time.  It’s a good time to catch up on things.  I’m looking forward to getting my desk cleared.  I don’t know what I’m waiting for though, lol.

 

In the evening I didn’t exercise.  Instead I finally made the Italian veggie soup.  We had that for dinner, late, but it still needed a bit of simmering to get the flavors melded together.  I watched part of the show Glee.  It was sort of interesting, but nothing I’d watch regularly. 

 

Nothing special today at work, but I do have a couple meetings.  The countdown for the lead admin’s departure is 2 more days.  She’ll be on vacation all next week and that following Monday, and after that, she’ll be in her new position.  The boss asked if she wanted a farewell lunch and she declined.  Goes along w/ her recent bad attitude.  Which is odd because when we’ve been meeting w/ her to go over the transition tasks, she’s perfectly helpful.  It’s when she’s in meetings w/ the whole department that she acts really obstinate and pissy.  I think she likes being in the position of knowing how to do those tasks and imparting her knowledge to us.  After the first meeting w/ the new admin and I, which I scheduled, we had another meeting yesterday and have one more scheduled for today, both of which the lead scheduled.  It either makes her feel powerful, or she plans on totally ignoring us if we go to her with questions after her move to her new position.  We shall see. 

 

Well, nothing much else to report.  I brought some of the homemade veggie soup for lunch today, and my snacks – apple, banana, granola bar.  I wasn’t tracking food very well since last Thursday, and I’ve not been totally on track the past couple days, but even so, my weight was down a pound from last week. 

 

Well, I finished writing this before 10 am and now it’s almost 4 pm and I finally managed to connect to the blogs here at 3fc.  So I’m publishing.

    Laura, your soup sounds fun! My new favorite way to make soup is in the pressure cooker. BUT… a person misses the hours of delicious aroma throughout the house. The taste results the same.

    Congrats on the loss! You gotta love it when you don’t track and STILL lose. :D Success!

    I have an excellent and easy recipe for Yam Souffle for your veggie side dish (or you could google it too)! I was introduced to it about 3 years ago at a family Thanksgiving. There is brown sugar, milk, vanilla, eggs and butter in it. Otherwise I was thinking that a corn souffle would be good for a side veggie dish too. I guess I like souffles because they are easy, beautiful, filling and delicious! Hah!

    How is the zipper project going? Have you made it to the next step yet? :)
