CONGRATULATIONS, JAN, FOR MAKING LIFETIME! We are all so proud of you! You kept heading for the finish line - and you made it! Yea! I know your family is thrilled with your progress. What do your sisters have to say about your successful journey?
And congratulations to you, too, Beth, for a nice loss this week. As long as the scale is moving in the DOWNWARD direction, it doesn't matter how fast (or slow!) it goes. I am sure you will adjust to school time soon. I remember when I was teaching school all my friends would say - Wow you have an easy job - getting off so early in the day! They didn't know about all the "other stuff" . I can't remember a night when I didn't have papers to grade, exams to construct, etc, etc, etc. Definitely one of those jobs where you take your work home with you!
Carol - You get congrats, too, for your good check-up news. That should take some of the stress out of your life now. It seems you are having lots more aches & pains recently. I think that you probably overdid it with the move - and, of course, being with the baby and all that lifting isn't good for you either - but I know you can't give that up! Just take care of yourself. I worry about you. Sorry you have to work Sat - bummer!
Joyce - How did your "chat" with the carpet people go? Were you able to get them to see the error of their ways?? I bet you are getting excited about the New Orleans trip. It's getting pretty close - the end of SEpt, right?
Linda - I wish I could get on my treadmill. I just can't risk screwing up my back right now with all the wedding stuff coming up. Maybe I will try to ease myself back into it after the big wing ding. If I can't, guess I will have to get rid of it. I hope your husband can use all the family praise to spring back into the program. It always helps to have that support.
Jan, how old are your students? I wish I could talk to the Near-Genius one! I spent all afternoon typing a document at work and then promptly "lost" it just before quitting time! I am just sure I saved it - probably not where I thought. First thing tomorrow I will do a search of my hard drive and see if its there. If not, guess I will spend another few hours re-doing it.
I am feeling more like I know what I am doing at the new job, but I am still overwhelmed by the scope of it. I didn't realize what a big chunk I had bitten off! I keep thinking it will be better when I am more organized, but I don't have time to get organized!! But the days sure do go fast! Can't believe we are mailing out the invitations next week! I will take about a week off just before and after the wedding. That was part of the deal before I accepted the job! I am not sure I will get paid for it, but it really doesn't matter. I need those few days beforehand to get it all together and then a couple to recouperate afterwards.
OK - maybe I need more than a couple, but that's all I could get!
Guess I will close down now and go do a little wedding stuff before bedtime. There's always something on my craft table waiting for me! Everyone have a great TGIF day tomorrow.
