Hi Peeps,

What glorious weather for this first day of May.

i am on the mend. My back and body hurt from coughing. I sound like a dog with kennel cough but the fever is finally gone. I've been rubbing my chest and back with essential oils every nite before bed. I can sleep without hacking. 

Work yesterday was disheartening. The owner let his chef walk out yesterday because he cut his pay in half. The rest of us were told in order to keep our jobs we would have to take a cut in pay also. Since the business is only open 2 days per week, it's not the way I would have done it, if I managed his place.  But,  I agreed because I really like this job and I make great tips. But morale will not be good. Oh by the way, the owner just bought a million dollar town house. His kitchen help are all young illiterate men who live in Englewood and make less than minimum wage. Sad.

On a brighter note, I have a date tonight. We are going to Greek Town in the city. 

What's happening in your world?

Hugs,

Sharon

Hello everyone

I am so glad it's Friday.  I am ready to relax a little tomorrow. 

I lost another 2lbs this week.  All I did was start working out, stop snacking in between meals, and replace my dinner sides with a salad.  And BAM...I'm losing weight again.  I never do any drastic diets or fad things.  I am done with those.  I don't do things I can't legitimately live with in the long term.  Like giving up fast food and soda and sweets and sugary food during the week and eating organic whenever possible.  Those are the changes I made a few years ago and I have been able to stick with them.  I think eating a salad a day is good for me...I need more fiber.   

I have to say I have been really forgetful this week.  I forgot my breakfast one day, my meds another, and my phone today...Geesh!!!  I need a checklist before I leave the house in the morning.

Today I am running to Walmart and that's it. 

Sharon-  I am sorry to hear about your job.  I don't know what to tell you about people like that owner.  Except when he dies he will be surrounded by all his beautiful things and we will have our family and friends.  Who is really poor? 

Well time to get back to work...have a great Friday my peeps!!!

Just got off the phone with my vein specialist doc office and I was approved for 3 sclerotherapy session per leg for the life of my work insurance policy.

Uneventful day at work. Was not too busy so it was a day to do some learning for the FOIA Law. It is so extensive that one cannot really learn it in a short while.

Off to the club here shortly.
