Very Windy Wednesday
I had to get up at 4:45 this am to be at work by 6. As I was doing my morning meditation there was a roar coming closer and closer to the house…it was a wall of wind! I thought it might even be a tornado, but just wind and a bit of thunder. As I drove into work and wire came doen on my car (no damage) - just scared the hell out of me. What a start to the morning, eh?
I really really blew my eating plan yesterday. I decided to go to the church womens’ holiday pot luck (which had been postponed from Dec due to snow), and this was some terrific pot luck! So much yummy yummy food of all kinds. I know it would be hard to resist and I just gave up. I did, however work out for 45 minutes at lunch so it wasn’t a total loss. Sigh. So back to “day one” of sensible eating. I’m finding it very difficult to get back on track.
Had some great news about my DD2 yesterday. She thought she might owe 5K on her college tuition bill and was panicking on Monday. I was surprised as she had appled for federal assistance and her income is practically nothing. So I, of course was ready to come to her rescur and lend her the 5K and my husband very much disagreed as we want her to learn to be self-sufficent. Anyway, after much arguing, tears and anxiety, he went with her to the college yesterday, and found out she indeed does have a grant fo 2K and an offer of a loan for 4K - she just needed to accept the loan. So she is all set for next semester. Ahh sigh of relief… Woops I have a conference call I have to call into now…
Bye all.

I can’t believe how windy it is today! I’m glad your car is okay - I saw a few things down on my way in, but it wasn’t too bad. Although I was just waiting for a tree branch to fall on the car!
Have a great day!
Wow, that’s WIND.
Glad for you and DH and DD about the college loan thingy. I am so there.
The exercising before the potluck was an extremely sensisble thing to do. Good on you.
Glad you are okay, wind can be so damaging. My little dogs hate the wind. My cocker especially. He must sit on “moms” knee when the wind blows too hard. But of course it is to protect me.
45 minutes is a great workout!
Glad you’re OK—wind hasn’t gotten here yet, but I imagine it’s coming; we’re supposed to have a cold front go through later today.
I’m not looking forward to the colllege loan/grant game and want alll of you to remember how this stuff works when I need answers!!!
On the food—-good work-out; better days ahead!!!!
Gosh, the weather’s going crazy the past couple of days, isn’t it? Glad you or your car were not hurt. College financial aid always leads to a big headache. I’ve been to 3 different institutions and they all SUCK at making sure you get the money you need or were promised. Glad it worked out for your daughter.
Good to hear that the loan thing worked out. It does sound a bit scary.
Good job exercising.
lots of love,
