Good Morning Ladies!
Ruth: Glad to hear your mom is doing okay. Sorry to hear about the gout! I have a good friend (old boyfriend actually) that has had that for years! I'm not sure how old he is, but I know he's had if since he was in his 40's, maybe even late 30's. He eats like a bird! Always made me self-consious, I like to feed a man!
Hang in there - I'm sure you'll find something to eat.
Sparkles: I feel like my hair has been falling out for the last two years! Even since I started my weight loss. I'm surprised I have any left!
(See: bald smiley!
) I'm not sure why either and it worries me too, but so far I guess it's growing in as fast as I'm losing it because I haven't noticed it getting too thin (kind of like my body - not too thin.) And
on the loss!
As usual, I've been busy, but mostly just kind of "unsettled". Not in a bad mood, not sad or depressed, just kind of on-edge, if you know what I mean. I have ZERO motivation to work or to do anything else. I'd really like to lock myself away for a week and read and watch TV and veg.
Not to be of course. I'm FINALLY having the long-anticipated garage sale this weekend. I have two friends putting stuff in; my oldest friend-who I've literally known for 38 years, and
THE friend-you know who I mean, the one with all the drama in her life. On top of everything else going wrong, her Dr. did a spinal tap yesterday. They suspect Parkinson's or MS. She has a sister with MS.
How is it even possible for one person to have such bad luck? I couldn't
make this stuff up if I tried! It's like she has the worst karma in the world.
But, bad as I feel about it, I've decided I have to distance myself from it. I was literally making myself sick with worry. Couldn't sleep, bad dreams, tension headaches, stress eating, smoking, you get the idea.
So I'm still there if she calls, but I've made up my mind to quit calling and checking on her every day and worrying so much. She is an adult and A-hole that he is, she has at least got a boyfriend to lean on a bit.
I have been having a pretty decent life since making that decision. I still am WAY off program, but working on it. Starting today I begin journaling my food again. I am quite sure I've put on at least 8 lbs, maybe 10, (I haven't had an "official" WI in ages, but I feel it in my clothes) but they'll come back off.
I'm starting drinking my water again. No exercise yet except for the ½ mile walk into work (the weather is BEAUTIFUL
today!) because I'm working my butt off on the garage cleaning it up for the sale and still not sleeping enough to get up early, but I'll get there.
OMG! I just had the
WORST hearing I have
ever had. 13 years at this job and I have
NEVER lost it with an atty. This one made me so angry I actually hung up on him.
He was SO disrespectful and rude. If I had been a real judge instead of a hearing officer he'd have been sitting his butt in jail for contempt.
As it was, after I calmed down I called him back and we ended up with a continuance. On my docket again, but next time I'll be ready for him. Big butt-head will NOT push my buttons again!
I hope everyone is having a good day and everything is going well. I need to get some work done - but you all remain in my thoughts!
