A Day Off..
Of sorts. Today I was supposed to take my husband to the train station, and then meet up with him later in the evening. We’re going to the Depeche Mode concert. It was a good plan.. I would drop off the kids and drive downtown. But, due to the events of yesterday, I was worried about driving and decided to give him the car and he has to drive all the way back here to get me and the kids.
Yesterday I was going with my cousin to the bank.. we had some errands to do and I was driving. Hardly three blocks away from my house, I almost drove through a red light. Then we got to the plaza where the bank is and I parked in front of Walmart by accident. No big deal, I go there enough to pick up stuff.. it was probably instinct I thought. So I backed out and turned around, only to do it AGAIN hardly 1 minute later. Weird part is that I didn’t notice until I already had the kids out and I realized I hadn’t parked in front of the bank. We decided to just walk it… but in the back of my mind I’m thinking.. this is really weird. I told my cousin to drive for the remainder of our outing.
I would of probably of just done the driving today, but last night I was awake from 2:30am to 6:30am, and I just don’t trust myself when I’m that tired. Yesterday too, people are talking to me, and I don’t know what they are saying. It’s freaking me out. I must be exhausted or something. I woke up at 10:45 this morning because my uncle called looking for my cousin, but she stayed over at my Mom’s house last night. I wonder how long I would of slept had he not called.
I have so so so many things I have to do. I still haven’t gone to see my friend’s baby. One of my cousin’s had a baby this week too. We have new neighbours that moved in last weekend and I haven’t gone over to meet them since they moved in. I met them briefly on Thursday last week… but I should go there and bring something over. It was my niece’s birthday and I want to go over and see her too. I have to return the library books.. although I did renew them so that if I was late it wouldn’t be a big deal. I still have to get my bike.
But really, it can all wait. I am chilling with the girls at home today. I made french toast for us for breakfast, and we’ve been vegging on the couch all morning. I watched yesterday’s episode of So You Think You Can Dance.. I was very disappointed that Jeanette was sent home.. she was my favourite. Best part of that episode was the Hummingbird and Flower dance from a few seasons ago. The breast cancer routine from the day before was outstanding.. it made me cry, I went back and watched that too. We watched Cake Boss too.. I just started watching that show.. I LOVE IT.. and so does Yumna. She is fascinated by cake decorating.
As for weight, I am 176.8 lbs today. I have looked over the last two weeks and really I have to say that I am okay with this.. It has not been an easy 2 weeks food wise and I have managed to lose rather than gain.. so it is what it is. I also checked my measurements the other day and was shocked that I managed to lose 3.5 inches in a month and a half where I have done very little to deserve it.
We’re still in our jamas here.. so I need to get off my butt and get things started if we are going to make it to the concert tonight. I thought I would be a lot more excited, but I’m not. I’m sure I’ll get into the mood once I get there.

Wow! Sounds like you just really need some rest… I hope you get some this weekend!
Regarding the past two weeks and still losing - I always imagine that this is what maintenance will be like - you make do, you maintain/lose despite not having perfection, and in the end..you’re still happy with it. Sounds like you are really getting it down!
