Which is good and bad. Steady means no spiraling down, but it also means no progress in a positive direction. I set the date for the challenge before being accepted into Grad school. I was accepted the day classes started (the 9th of this month), which meant I started the next day, after paperwork was… Continue reading Holding Steady
I am sorry I haven’t posted in a while. I just have two words: Retail and Holidays. Okay, three. Exhausted. I started a challenge group on Facebook with 3 friends, although we hope to add more. It is kinda Beachbody geared, but not totally. I’ll share recipes and thoughts/ideas, but participants are not required to… Continue reading Almost 2017!
Last Thanksgiving was when we first, collectively, thought there was something up with my mom. Mom is (was) a good old-fashioned southern cook and we all flocked to her house, year after year, holiday after holiday to enjoy it. Last year the majority of the food she made was not edible. Dad said that… Continue reading Dementia is an ugly beast.
Thanksgiving day I hurt my back. I have no idea how. I was sitting there talking to my parents and it started to have shooting pains, randomly. By the time everyone else arrived it was getting tighter and tighter and unexpected pains would happen at certain (normal) moments. I didn’t think much of it. I… Continue reading Back to step 1, it seems
Things haven’t improved at work in terms of being short of help. In fact, they worsened. The part-time manager gave notice so he could take a full-time position elsewhere. So, with the FT manager out still that leaves us with two managers – me and L. L goes on vacation the first week of November.… Continue reading Still here!!
I stopped by the grocery store, on my way home from work, Sunday night. I knew that if I put if off until Monday, I might just not do it ……………. So, yesterday morning, at 9am, I was cooking! I made spaghetti and meat sauce to have for dinner, with enough left over for another… Continue reading Prepping again!
I was thinking last night about how tired I am and I don’t get it, really. I’ve worked longer and harder hours than I am working, so why is it kicking my ass this time around? Age? Possibly. Stress and emotions? Possibly Lack of exercise? Possibly I am still eating well, although only about 85%… Continue reading Rambling update
Co-worker is still out and, as of yesterday, will be for at least another week. She has, however, been put on leave so that means I no longer have to leave her on the schedule, which will make some aspects easier for me. Next week, we will be fine! I was given enough hours and… Continue reading So, so tired
I promise I am. Work has just been nuts! This is our busy season and we were already short staffed by being under the store needs for part time help and then one of the managers was injured and is still out of work. She’s been out for two weeks now and rearranging the schedule… Continue reading I am still here!
I said in my last post that I had maintained my healthy eating and I have – 95% of the time. The 5% of the time is my usual crappy habit – emotional eating. Sigh. My brother is doing well. The doctors say he is in remission! 🙂 He just finished his last treatment and… Continue reading Healthy food isn’t enough
