Nothing really going on. I still haven’t made it to the Y since arriving home from Michigan. However, tomorrow I plan on sleeping in until……whenever I wake up.   :)   Then, to the Y to at least walk the track, maybe some elliptical or circuit room as well. Then, home to clean from top to bottom. Trust me, this is one way that I relax. I know; I know: I’m a strange bird. In the afternoon, I am going to see Horton hears a who w/my oldest DD (youngest DD will be gone) and a couple of kids that are practically family. All in all, a good day planned.

Work was crazy, crazy, crazy! We have a lady who has been consistently absent (what an oxymoron-consistently absent!) for about eight weeks. The office manager and I have been carrying a lot of her load although everyone has helped out. When she finally came back for a couple of days recently (yes, literally-a couple of days) they bumped her back to her former position of receptionist. She was NOT happy. She has been sick with what she thought was kidney stones for this long. I’m not saying she wasn’t in pain but there is no way I would have let this pain continue for 8 weeks without doing something about it. I would have camped out on my doctor’s door or something. Anyway, in addition to covering for her, I’ve been training the newest caseworker, who has been out this week with the flu so I’ve been fielding her calls, etc, this week as well. So, my boss handed me a case today and said, “what was Jill thinking when she did this order”. I said, I don’t know: I’m not Jill. Well, it needs to be fixed by the end of the day. I said I’ll get to it a.s.a.p. but I thought, Look, lady, it’s lunchtime and so far today I haven’t even gotten to work on a single one of my cases. When I get back from lunch, I have to take my turn up front as receptionist until 2:15. Then I have to type some motions, prepare some wage assignments, answer some phone messages of my own and other workers. So, when do you suppose I should squeeze this in?  I don’t say all this to complain but to make a point and here it is: with all this stress there was no emotional eating!  Thank the Lord-literally! Today was good for my prayer life, though.  

So, I figure today’s success needs to be followed by success tomorrow by going to the Y. I’ll let you know how I do.

Have a great day!!
