What's New Tuesday

Hi Annette and all, Awake REALLY early again, up outa bed a 4am...I will go walk the treadmill in a little bit. Talked to former co-worker last night;did my heart a world of good, reinforced my decision to move on. Work is going well, very busy and still overwhelming at times. I can see the pinpoint of light at the end of the tunnel, not all the time but sometimes. The days fly by so that is good. I am exhausted when I get home. Last night I had a massage scheduled and spaced it off...I was so mad at me, I had been looking forward to it and  after the 31st of March will no longer get to have them. Been playing with the same 2 lbs for over a month and getting a little nervous...not real bad but a little. I hope it is just a plateau and not stopped. If it has, so be it...I have clothes now and if it has stopped I won't have to replace them! It is cold here, snow is forecast for this week, the sticking on the ground kind. We typically are in the 50s at this time of year but will be in the 20s, 30s and 40s. Yuck. Well, see you all later, Cheryl

Cheryl, Lack of sleep is annoying. It is such a vicious cycle. If you wake up to pee, your immmediate thought is  " Am I up for the day?", then it is so difficult to get back to sleep.  Have you measured yourself lately? Perhaps you are losing inches instead of pounds. During my losing phase, I slowed way down when experiencing stress in my life. You have had so much job stress, that could be what is happening to you right now. Kisses Annette

Darlin' Annette..just like I have told my daughter "it is actually more likely you will fall asleep when you are actually in bed...instead of walking around in the kitchen".....have you ever tried Melatonin?...we all need so much sleep....and so many of us don't get enough.Lover, Marti

Dearest Marti, When I am sitting at my kitchen table at 3 AM, your words of wisdom are going to prompt me to get back into bed! You have such a wealth of common sense. Thank you Love and lots of kisses Annette

I think now it's actually more of a habit and I like having all the extra time...now I do know it's not so good for me and I do need more sleep... I measured about 3 weeks ago...Yep, you are right things have been stressfull. I spoke to a former co-worker last night and after talking with her, I again, thanked the Lord that I moved on and knew, again, I had made the right decision. She is a good friend and I am sorry for her that she is still working there. My new job is going well...had a good day...haven't really had a bad day yet, just overwhelming days. Thanks, Annette Cheryl

good morning! the computer thermometer says it is 33*--i don't believe it!!! the sun is trying to peek thru ...roxie is in my lap watching michael as i type and i am getting ready for my first sip of coffee! nothing new since i went to bed..that's always a good start to any morning! last nite i posted (on what's new ) about my DAR dinner experience. i forgot to mention that i wore my kicky shoes, boo! i have some that look like granny shoes with three "buttons" - i love em and they used to be too small!!! some of my faves are now getting sloppy big...hmmm..... i'll stop back later to see how everyone is!

GOOD FOR YOU  REMEMBER SHOES MAKE A GRIL FEEL SEXY SO WHEN BUYING SHOES BUY THEM FOR YOU AND HOW YOU WANT TO FEEL ( I HAVE A LOT OF HO--KER SHOES LOL GET PACKING WE ARE ON OUR WAY BOO

actually--these are clunky type--oxford old lady ones with a chunky heel--i love that type--makes me feel like i have boots on--which i don't wear unless for snow and working outside or in a factory! i have wide feet which have never looked good in pretty shoes- they are wide at the toe area not at the heel...i personally think feet are ugly....my arches fell about 15 years ago but i don't have flat feet! i wish taht i could wear maryjane's too but i cannot...... i've started some basic packing-wish the weather would get better! since i'm driving i guess it doesn't make any difference!
