Good Morning,

Its a rainy gray day in NJ. Whats doing by you all?

Allergies are REALLY kicking in since yesterday, the pollen off the trees is making me and DD feel cruddy lol.

Did you all have a good weekend?

Hi all! Good morning.

Leenie - ugh. Allergies hope the clear up soon.

Well, I think I may have started to turn myself back around yesterday. I just refused to be in a bad mood on mom's day. I ate a lot better too. I am still a little gun-shy this close to the end of a binge, but I have high hopes for the week.

I even got out for my run this am - it was supposed to be my first 28 min run, but my hips really hurt, so at about the 15 min mark I walked for 3-5 min. Thank goodness it was just the muscle on the outside of the hip, and not the joint itself, but I am going to have to figure out a way to stretch it!!!!

How is everyone else doing?

Just a quick update on our orders. They've been offically given to us. So YAY!! We leave here in Augand have to be there by Sept. 22nd. Does anyone know how long it will take to drive from Washington to Maryland?? LoL!! We're going from one coast, to another...with 3 freakin cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm really nervous about moving..I dont know why. I wasnt nervous when we first moved here. Maybe its because we have so much stuff now? I dont know. We spent the first 3 years of our marriage here. Its kinda nice to be leaving, but kinda sad too. So many memories here. And now we're going to someplace totally new & different. I'm very scared to be traveling with my 3 cats. Before it was just one..and now its 3. I dont want anything to happen to any of us, especially them.

Ugh...I can already feel the stress building up now. We have so much to do before we move. Grrr...I wish dh was home right now so we can get started on it. We have to clean out the 2nd room..and the walk in closet. We had to get rid of so much junk too. Then we have to find someplace to live!!!! He gets home in July and we'll be leaving in Aug. Omg..this is all too much for me right now. Thank God we dont have to pack anything ourselves.

Well, I once drove from MT to VA with my sister - in 3 long, but not overwhelming days, and another time I drove from MT to Seattle - in about 9 hours, so... 4 days of pretty reasonable driving - 3 if you are crazy and take shifts!

I suck. I am eating like a mad woman. I feel like crap from it but I can't stop. My house is a mess. I'm having nightmares about being unemployed and I feel the depression getting strong enough to swallow me. Just shoot me.

No. We love you too much. You are a wonderful fabulous person who deserves to be happy and have a job you enjoy. I'm sorry times are tough. This, too, will pass.

Thank you Amarie. I'm not sure I agree, but I do believe I at the very least I deserve a job that I don't enjoy!

I worked out earlier and started to feel better and then my workout buddy called so I ended up doing almost 2 hrs worth combined. My outlook has improved ever so slightly. Better than nothing considering where I started.

Shop: Moving is always stressful, even under the best circumstances. It will work out though, despite your 3 cat's best efforts to make you feel like you are leading them to a slow death. Hang in there.

Leenie: I'm beginning to think somebody moved a rain forest to VA without my knowledge. The next 2 day we are going to get a small break. I'm going to plant my 3 tomato plants I bought today and mow the yard Wednesday afternoon. I know the ground will still be soaked though.

Tonight I found a disadvantage to the cat using the doggie door: he brought a baby bunny into the living room! It appeared to be OK so I took it and put it in our shed with some celery and carrots. I don't know if it's old enough to eat something like that or not. There is enough space under the door for him to get out if he wants. I hope he lives.

Well, enough rambling from me. Thanks as always for listening.

I've not really posted her before but good god I feel like crap today. I just feel like I'm sinking and just feel thoroughly miserable. People at work just think I'm a misery but I just want to be left alone to get on with it; kind of a 'keep my head down and plough on' approach. It's hard though; I have a job I hate on the phones for eight hours a day talking to people who have little or no respect for me as I'm 'just' a call centre type person.
Argh; I've worked out today; I'm eating right but right now I'm verging towards either wanting to cry and just go and hide in bed and sleep

Sounds like we have a lot in common. I too feel like crap today, also feel miserable, and also can't stand my job as well. I have the same approach, just get through it. lol. I too work in a call center, so I know what you mean only I am here 12.5 hrs...... I know what its like to be talked to like your a piece of garbage, its no fun. WTG on working out and eating right. Big

Hello, anybody in here?

Welcome Denial! Sorry you're having a rough time. I know how you feel. Hiding sounds good right now. Hope to see more of you.

Still feeling low. Still eating like crazy, sometimes hiding it, sometimes not. I have to get up early tomorrow for an oil change and gyno appointment. Sounds like tons of fun, huh?

Onto another topic... The cat found the bunny again so it is now upstairs in a shoebox with a sore on it's hip. I called animal rescue and am waiting on a call back to see what to do for it. I hope they will take it and nurse it back to health and set it free. It's so cute but I don't think we can keep it. I hate to put it in a cage forever.

Again I say... Hellooo? Is everyone partying somewhere and didn't tell me about it?

Had my oil change this morning and my dr.'s appt. Both went well. The bunny is doing fine today and I gave him/her some fresh clover to eat. I'm waiting on a call from a rescue worker so I can take it over to them.

I'm off to mow the yard before the rain starts again tomorrow and lasts all weekend. Joy.

Sassy: good job on the walking!

hi hope! i haven't posted here in awhile but i was reading over posts and wanted to let you know that i'm here - not out partying without you! =)

Hi all!

Sorry Hope, I didn't mean to totally disappear I've been struggling a bit (well, not so much as last week, but kinda like a step backwards I guess.) Anyway, I'm here and I'm kicking! I'm glad your oil change and gyno appt went well - that so made me laugh for some reason! I am so glad you are finding the bunny a new home!

Sassy - WTG on the walking! Did you ever get your new bike?

I am not doing as well on my exercise this week. My ouchie hips turned out to be a strained illiotibial muscle, so I've been resting that. It feels much better, but just yesterday my rib went out. Ugh. I've got a doc appt Saturday to get it resolved, but I don't see much activity in my future til then. Maybe I can go for a bike ride tonight or something. Hmm....

Hi Iris, Leenie, Heather, Buddly, Cathy, Emmy, Francie, et al..

denial! Haha, that was knida funny to write! Hope to get to know you better. I'm glad you found us.

Anywho all.
