I kept hemming and hawing about whether I should work overtime today. I didn't really want to do it, but I could use the money. The practical, financial side of my brain won out, so I've been up since 5 this morning. But what was getting me through was the nap I planned on taking this afternoon. Yeah, well I'm still waiting on that nap. Company showed up just prior to when I was going to lay down. By the time she left, it was too late to nap. So instead, I've wasted most of my night playing at Facebook. So there.
Just got an email from my sister. Last time I saw her was about a month ago. First time I'd seen her in a while and she hadn't seen me since I lost most of my weight. Well, I've inspired her and she's started exercising and watching her calories. She's down 10 pounds already. I'm really proud of her. Now if she could motivate to find a job, I'll be prouder.
I hate the autumn. I really do. Today was a perfect example of how I hate it. I got up this morning and the house was freezing. I left for work and it was 40 degrees out. It was cold and windy and I wasn't having it. Now don't get me wrong. I have nothing against the cold. While I prefer the warmer temps, I don't mind the cold. My issue is I don't like the transition from warm to cold. Hate it. Almost every year I end up sick during this change. Can't winter just get here already?

Wednesday
I'm in a mood. I just don't know what kind of mood. I'm not really in a bad mood, but I wouldn't say I'm in a good mood either. Go figure.
I finally broke the 225 pound mark on Sunday. I've been stuck at 226 for about a month and a half. I'd go up a pound or two and then back down to 226. No lower. I was 223 on Sunday and I'm thrilled, but I don't know if it will stick. I'll find out on Sunday, I guess.
Maybe my mood is frustration? Or at least partially. My problem areas are acting up again. The neuromas in my feet are making themselves known again. While there isn't any outright pain right now, they are definitely a little achy. Part of the issue might be shoe related. The pair of shoes I found that my feet love had to be sent back to Skechers. I only had them two and a half months and the rear inner heel on the left shoe started ripping apart and there was a hole in the side of the same shoe. I sent them back in hopes of a replacement pair. I've never had a pair of shoes that my feet liked so much. Hopefully I'll have the replacements shortly, though I did only mail them out a week ago.
Dane, I did not delete your email. I swear!! :)
I know I had other things I wanted to say, but they're gone now. Just my luck, huh?

Poll
Oh, and before I forget, even if you don't give a shit, vote in my poll. I'm trying to decide which of those books to get next from amazon.com.
The End
The three day weekend is coming to an end and I don't feel like I got any rest at all. Probably because I didn't. This morning was my last chance to sleep in, but the cats didn't care. Taking turns, they jumped up on the bed and started climbing all over me. First Ollie, then Lucy, then Ollie, then Lucy. Little shits.
I was supposed to have the day to myself. Ken was going into work, but he couldn't breathe this morning, so he blew it off. His allergies are back and they're brutal.
The P.F. Chang's restaurant opened here today. Knowing that when a new place opens in this town, it's impossible to get in for months, we went there for lunch. I really liked it.
I think I got almost everything I wanted to get done this weekend done. I really wanted to sleep, but that didn't happen. I still need to clean out my wallet. And I wanted to get all my cds picked up and filed away, but that will have to wait for another day. Oh, and I'm still so far behind on email that I might as well delete it all and start fresh tomorrow. I'm going to bed early tonight. That's all I know.
Oh, and I got sucked into another new reality show. America's Most Smartest Model on VH1. not what I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. Especially since I didn't know there were going to be male models on the show, too. I love my trash tv.

I Killed Myself Today
Man, did I over do it. It's the beginning of a three day weekend and I've decided it's the perfect time to get things done. I slept in this morning, which was the most important thing on my "to do" list (seriously). When I got up, I signed on to the computer and started playing. But I stopped. Today was so nice out and it is probably going to be the last nice day of the summer (yeah, I know it's autumn already, but you know what I mean.) So I got ready and went out for a nice long walk. When I got home, I flipped the laundry from the washer to the dryer and then went back out to start yardwork. I raked the backyard, and in the process ripped all the skin from the base of my left thumb. I also discovered that I still have no upper arm strength. I really killed myself raking. When that was done, I mowed the lawn for probably the last time this year. I was ready to pass out by this point. I went in and Ken had finally managed to pull himself away from World of Warcraft in time to bandage up my hand and suggest lunch.
We went to a new place in town that I can't remember the name of. It was some Chicago Pizza etc place. I wasn't very impressed. At all. We were told it was a 15 minute wait when we got there. No biggie. However, the restaurant was less than 50% full. And this one waitress kept coming out to the waiting area begging them to seat someone in her section since she didn't have a single table. The food was pretty ordinary. Even less than ordinary, I think. I'm glad we went so we can now cross it off of the list of places to go in the future. Where we really wanted to go was PF Chang's, but it doesn't open until Monday. We did a drive by just in case they had a soft opening, but no such luck.
When we got home, I got right back to work. I cleaned the bedroom, started going through the summer clothes (and also all the summer clothes that are now way too big for me.) Then I cleaned the kitchen and vacuumed the living room and the sitting room. I'm exhausted now. I feel like I got a lot more done than I was planning. I still want to go through all the paperwork I've let accumulate over the last month or two. That's next. And tomorrow I get to re-rake the backyard. We had heavy rains this afternoon and you'd never know I raked up two big leaf bags full of leaves. Bah.

Slacking
I haven't posted since Tuesday. I'm bad. I've really run myself ragged and I'm exhausted. I'm so happy today is the last day before a three-day weekend. I really, really need one. Or even just a single day to sleep in after 6:50. Now if I can only get through today.....

Running Around
I'm off from work today. I had a doctor and dentist appointment scheduled for today. The doctor visit was a follow up on my cholesterol. I was really hoping to hear good news. After all, I was down another 4 pounds from my last visit to him a couple weeks ago. My blood pressure has never been better. He told me my HDL (the good cholesterol), while still lower than it needs to be, jumped up 10 points. I'm so damn close to where it needs to be. So close. My LDL (the bad cholesterol) went up, too. He didn't say by how much, but enough to bring my total cholesterol level to 210. It should be 200 at the highest. He prescribed some type of niacin pill for me. He doesn't want to go full out cholesterol medication yet since I'm still right on the borderline. I go back in 4 months to have it checked again. Otherwise, I'm as healthy as healthy can be it seems.
I had my teeth cleaned today, too. And what do I get with a teeth cleaning? Attitude about not having my bottom wisdom teeth removed yet. I get the 'tude every visit. The bottom ones grew in sideways. To get them out is going to require having them cut out of my mouth and that's why I'm dragging my heels. I don't want to do it until I have to do it. Otherwise, my mouth is very happy and I have no cavities. I'm thrilled about that.
In between appointments I ran a bunch of errands. I had a deposit to make at the bank. I had to go to the post office to send back a pair of my sneakers to Skechers. I bought them two months ago and they're falling apart already. I went to the mall to look at new shoes. I went to Circuit City for blank cds. I went to the drug store to get my prescription filled. After the dentist I went grocery shopping and now I'm home doing laundry. And while typing this, I realized that I forgot to go to the other bank to pay the mortgage. I'm getting ready to go out for a walk anyway. I'll do it then. I still need to empty the dishwasher (I ran it just before I left the house this morning), straighten up the downstairs and I really, really, really should clean the bathroom, but I just don't like doing it. And I have to pay bills. What I really need is a nap.
And the new Annie Lennox is out today! Hooray!!!!
