Almost time for me to head home, quick change of clothes and off to the gym. Then back home to eat, do website work, watch some TV and relax.

Mel - I hope you have a nice, relaxing and quiet evening with no more full moon madness.

Annie - I hope your day is going well. Are you working at CVS tonight or spending the evening with T ?

Love and hugs,

Annie - Why the heck does EVERYTHING you talk about fixing for dinner (or whenever) make me ? Sheesh, lady, I wish I could hire you as a live in cook or something. How do you make your fried rice? Recipe please. Okay? I'm just gonna have to look for some low-fat, high fiber EASY yummy recipes on the internet and actually cook.

BTW, my tomatoes are just starting to ripen! Fresh tomatoes from the garden! Yummm!

Mel - looking for me on the thread yesterday was a waste of your time. I wasn't there. I took a look early in the morning and then went over to the challenges and then thought maybe I just need some time for inspiration and from there the day got away on me. Explanations later.
Sorry to hear about the neighbour. Still it has to be expected in a building like yours. Keep chipper my friend.

Michelle - Glad to hear that the fair went well and that there was no back pain and you went to the gym. Exercise queen - you are.

Annie - you must be feeling a bit worn out. Hope you have a quiet week at work and a nice time went the boy comes over - at least you will be off your feet!

Ceejay - that's a long shift you have pulled for the next 12 days or so. You need to be kind to yourself and look after the body now.

Happy - have a wonderful time away. Vacation time is too precious to not enjoy it. Hope the weather is good and you see the meteors or showers or whatever. Don't forget the telescope!!

The worst of the tiling is now out of the way. I have a short on the knees session today while I do the last corner and from then on it is all about standing and using the brain. It should be finished - even at my slow pace - by the end of this week. Then on to the next project and finish up a couple of other outstanding ones.
My wee lettuces are nearly big enough to eat now. I've picked some of the mint and parsley and I had strawberries, grapes and chocolate mint along with yoghurt for breakfast yesterday. And then onto the day.

First I had a couple of words with the recruiter man. Okay so we are reasonable work buddies, but that doesn't mean he can do whatever and get away with it. I might not want to work, but I HAVE to work and it will serve him right if I find work from a different source.
Then I went for a hearing test. It seems my hearing is much worse than I thought and it will necessitate a couple of hearing aids. Since I am not on a pension, I don't qualify for government help and to get something to do the job will be costing me around 6K. It has to be done, and the money is there but I didn't really want to spend it just yet. Apparently I was supposed to break down in tears and beat the breast and say I am not old enough for this and why me and all the other denials things - but that is not my style. I am old enough, I've never been a fashion plate (long story that one, but you can now get the wee things that fit behind the ear to match up with your glasses or your eyes or your hair colour etc.) But at 6K a pop, you'd need to be sure your glasses were going to stand the test of time I would have thought. Anyway, I could see that I surprised the audiologist because the only thing that upset me was the way that I could not pick up words in the softer and higher registers - and that means I haven't been listening to my girlfriends properly. Aaargh. Although I have to admit, I don't have a problem on the phone.
After that I took my nephews computer down to my friendly guru and had a chat with him about the state of it. His recommendation is to chuck it out and buy a new one. We couldn't get the internet up, there is no disc space left, none of the recent microsoft updates have been done and there is no room to install the necessary There is also no active anti-virus - it probably got turned off because of space and because it interfered with games etc. Rob said that to fix it up, add more disc space and replace the internet card plus labour would cost nearly as much as buying a new desktop and the latest windows XP. So he gave me a quote for a couple of different options - the most expensive of which was less than $600 and I returned the box and quote back to the nephew. WHO DID NOT EVEN SAY THANKS FOR YOUR TROUBLE. It was all he could do to say hello before he got on his phone to his mates. I had a cuddle with the niecelet and went home steaming at the ears.

So today will be a bit of shopping, so gardening - watering and fertilising. It's cheap petrol day and half price car wash, so we will go down and do that. Then back to the tiling. It's a public holiday in Brisbane today for Peoples Day at the Ekka (State Fair) and DS2 has the day off. Don't know what he is up to, but I guess I should go find out. Don't want him starting some other project I need to finish off.

So I'd better go get some breakfast and get on with my day. Hope you enjoy yours. Don't forget to get some exercise during this day - no matter what form it takes.

I told the boss that I was taking it easy these next few days. I've been there done that and he was nice about it and said I expect you too. I'm my own worse enemy at times. I have a hearing problem also but not yet enough for hearing aides. I had trouble talking to my sister Sunday while I was shopping. The back ground noise was bad. I told her why I kept saying "what did you say?"

Mel and Annie
I will probably join you in the pajama party tonight. I'm trying very hard to get to bed by 9 p.m. but it's really hard when the sun is still shining. I've put black hsades on the windows. It does help.

I'm curious about why the ambulance was down the street this morning. There is usually a traffic cop sitting there so I try to avoid that route. Hope it wasn't the annoying neighbors. I don't wish any sickness on any one.

Happy Wednesday (aka Hump Day and Annie's Trash Day) -

I had a hectic day at work yesterday...but was able to get to the gym after work to release stress and recharge with endorphins! I did the elliptical instead of the recumbent stepper and it worked my quads in ways I'm not use to. I had a little twinge in my back driving home...but it didn't last long and I'm fine now. After the gym, I came home and was starving....so I popped in a Lean Cuisine and supplemented with LOTS of fresh veggies. Spent a little time on the computer and then relaxed and watched tv with DH. Today, I'm planning on walking with a friend during lunchtime, and after work, I'll either go to the gym or walk the doggies.

Shad - I'm glad the tiling is nearly done. Enjoy your lettuces...I picked the last of mine a few days ago and am still enjoying them. So sorry that the recruiter man is giving you trouble. Bummer about having to spend so much for hearing aids, but at least you'll hear better. Funny you mention getting your hearing tested. I've often thought about having mine tested, as I have trouble filtering out background noises when someone is speaking. It was so nice of you to take your nephew's computer to your guru. Sounds like your niecelet has much better manners than your nephew - even when she is spitting up on ya'. You have "cheap petrol day"? Awesome!

Ceejay - I hope you had a relaxing evening. I was at the pj party too...in my jammies and relaxing by 7:45 last night. Have a good day at work...don't work too hard!

A big to Mel and Annie both of whom I'm sure will be checking in soon, and to Patty, Ruth, Laura and everyone else!

Love and hugs,

Default For when you are feeling like giving up

Great Poem I stole from someone in the 100 lb club who stole from someone else. Don't know who the original author is.


When you've eaten too much and you can't write it down,
And you feel like the biggest failure in town.
When you want to give up just because you gave in,
and forget all about being healthy and thin.
So What! You went over your calories a bit,
It's your next move that counts...So don't you quit!
It's a moment of truth, it's an attitude change.
It's learning the skills to get back in your range.
It's telling yourself, "You've done great up till now.
You can take on this challenge and beat it somehow."
It's part of your journey toward reaching your goal.
You're still gonna make it, just stay in control.
To stumble and fall is not a disgrace,
If you summon the will to get back in the race.
But, often the struggle's, when loosing the grip,
Just throw in the towel and continue to slip.
And learn too late when the damage is done,
that the race wasn't over...they still could have won.
Lifestyle change can be awkward and slow,
but facing each challenge will help you grow.
Success is failure turned inside out,
the silver tint in a cloud of doubt.
When you're pushing to the brink, just refuse to submit,
If you bite it, you write it....But don't you quit!

Mel - You are so right. I need to quit drooling and think of the scale. My back was gently reminding me that even though there's no pain...I still shouldn't do anything stupid. At least it wasn't yelling at me like it used to. I do like the new entrees by Smart Ones (the artisan pizzas and flatbreads are AWESOME) and Lean Cuisine (the quesadillas are phenomenol). I just bought a Healthy Choice Roasted Tomato chicken dinner but haven't tried it yet. Have fun doing laundry!
