Hello chicks, first chance I've had to pop in today. I was on the road this morning for the dreaded face-to-face meetings, and stopped on the way home to pick up new pants for DS, as he only has two pairs of jeans right now, and I am not into doing laundry THAT often. Work is hopping, and it's kinda stressful, but I call it Job Security! I think I'll put a turkey breast in the oven for dinner, easy, and DH is away and he hates turkey so I won't annoy him. DD is scheduled to work at the horse barn after school, and I need to spend a good bit of time with DS on homework, particularly French, in which he's struggling. DH and I being away for 10 days put him behind - he really needs someone right over his shoulder making sure he gets everything done. Hoping for early bed for everyone tonight - we ALL really need it.
I'm having no trouble staying on plan, since my stomach is off and I really don't want to eat anything at all. Everytime I eat I get the feeling you have right before you hiccup, kind of a pressure, but I never do hiccup. Different, never felt like that before. But I can't eat more than a little at a time - maybe I am having sympathy pains for our Nessa.
The rest of the week I am WFH and working on getting back into our regular routine. If I'm caught up on household chores, I want to get the Halloween decor up this weekend. Hoping for a beautiful fall weekend so we can also get in a hike. DH leaves in about a month, so I want to maximize family activities while I can. And also make him finish up some projects before he goes.
Oh, and I scheduled the architect next Tuesday to come see the house and give me an estimate for plans for the addition/renovation - can't wait to hear his ideas! I'd love for it to be done by spring. I am very jealous of Ruth's new room.
Lexxis, your day sounds lovely, I hope you have enjoyed it. I too appreciate feeling so much healthier than I used to. When I get frustrated about not having lost all I planned to, I reflect on the fact that I could have spent the last two years gaining. Heck, I could be 300# by now.
Barb, always good to hear how things are going for you and Brian.
Kierie, I hope things ease up for you soon. It is so hard to stay on plan when life gets crazy.
Feel better soon,
Gothik.
Pearly, Holy cow, they play rough. Shrinkwrapping a car IS kinda funny though.
Chelby, I hear you, I love to cook, but sometimes I just need a break. And if there isn't something ready to go in my mouth when I get hungry, that spells trouble.
Tryin, an egg and tomato isn't much, maybe you need to eat more. Make yourself a nice taco bake to combat the TB cravings. This too shall pass.
Ruth, does that mean you are ready to decorate and move in to your new room? Where are the pix? Are you traveling to PA for Thanksgiving?
Cyndi, enjoy your Chinese. A walk is a great idea, after hours in the car, I could use one too. Maybe before dinner.
Well, kids will be coming in any minute, and I've got a couple of docs to review before I'm done for the day, so check you ladeez tomorrow.
