Morning all. TGIF and the boss is out another day!
Annie - I'm not into doing that type of goal stuff either. I took home the big career development binder we got at the session last month but haven't done anything with it. I thought it might be a good idea to take some of the other assessments in there. Haven't done that or the career dev plan we're supposed to put together. Good thing the boss is in another world right now and isn't focusing on this stuff. Michelle is the
of this kind of stuff.
Yes, our first meeting of the session was this past Tuesday. I had a gain of 1.8 pounds - been engaging in self-pity eating because of this bladder thing. Dumb. It seems to have eased up, but it's still hard to get back on track. I'm working on it!!!
Happy - Good luck at the dentist - hope you don't get any zings of pain. I agree - give me all the shots, I don't want to feel
anything. Sorry the cortisone shot isn't taking care of the pain/inflammation. Good to just get back in and get another. Your hair color sounds pretty - you're so brave with your hair color! I just keep to the same shade. Sometimes I think it looks a bit too dark and harsh-looking, so I get it a bit lighter, but that's it for me. Have a good shift at the shop today.
Shad - Good to have a house-sitter, and I should hope a police officer candidate would work out nicely for you. Hope you catch up on your sleep!!
Michelle - I hope your eye heals soon - though I do like you pirate eye patch idea, lol.
Hellos to Ceejay & Susie!!

My health evaluation went well yesterday, but all they did was draw blood and take my blood pressure - no weighing or measuring of height/waist. Bf did his at a local lab and I did mine on site at the office - wonder if that's the reason for the difference?
Left work a bit early for my EKG, bf met me at the metra stop nearby. Afterwards we went out for dinner at a place in the area - very mediocre. Everything was rather salty too. Bf had been there before, but for breakfast. Apparently the breakfasts were better. Anyway, no need to go back there...
Back at home I put together our Halloween costumes. Basically cutting and machine stitching of the easiest sort, and the stitching could have been substituted by glue. I'm setting your expectations here - these are not elaborate by any means!
Yes, I'll make sure to get a photo.
My bike was left at the station yesterday, so I walked to the train today. Walking obviously takes longer than cycling, but I do feel like I get more exercise that way. I'll adjust to the cold eventually... I have to get a new battery for my pedometer. I actually wouldn't mind getting one of those Fitbit gadgets. In addition to your physical activity, I hear it tracks your sleep. I generally sleep just fine, so I don't think that's an issue. But I'm curious about how much I move around at night. Sometimes I think I sleep like a log and don't even move!
Tonight bf and I might go to the gym. Tomorrow night is the Halloween party, so sometime before that, I want to make something to bring. They are serving chili, so I thought some cornbread might be nice. Or maybe a dessert. They said they'll have a "graveyard dessert" and that sounds like some awful kiddie thing... Of course I have no business contemplating sweets, so maybe I should be boring and bring veggies.
Okay, better get back to work. Everyone have a great day.
