I'm on afternoon shift today and night shift the rest of the week.. I'm a bit nervous about the whole eating on nights.. but it'll be an adventure either way

Learning my new normal, one day at a time.
QOTD- I used to be a volunteer Firefighter, and worked at the Portland Women's Crisis line answering phones and as a sexual assault advocate. I love the firefighting I did it for 11 years. But the crisis line triggered me a lot. It was for my college internship but I kept working there for almost 2 years.
It was a very long weekend. Saturday was packing and sorting and Sunday was another dump run over 1100lbs of stuff. The countdown is really on. Next weekend we will be taking furniture from my house to an apartment and to storage, and moving stuff from one storage to another for my roommate.
My cat has really been freaking out, stuff keeps disappearing and he hasn't been sleeping with me like he usually does. It's going to be a tough transition for him, to an empty apartment- the owner is in a rehab facility. It is someone that my roommate is a caregiver for. I made him promise that he needs to go over at least once a day to feed him is wet food and give him some attention. As soon as I have a permanent home for him I'll have him shipped over.
I still haven't found a place to board my horse, so I haven't talked to the shipping company yet.
Have a great day everyone!

G'morning all!
This is my last full week in US before I leave next Wed. Very excited and worried. I keep praying that everybody keeps it together--vaccine wise and delta variant spreading--so that I can leave and come back. No airports shut down please.
Eggfast week 2 didn't bring any change to my weight. I guess that's why it's recommended to do 3-5 days only, to shock your body, otherwise your body gets used to it. I'm going back to regular programming of ADF and hope I can lose this 1 lb before I leave. In my head I know it's not affecting my clothes or how I look and nobody back home would know, but I still want to lose the lb before I leave.
QOTD: I really like the way in America volunteering is encouraged. I was always volunteering in class with my kids at their center (almost like a teacher's aid) at least once a week when they were in elementary. I also loved being the room mom and planning their parties. Once they were in jr high and high school I volunteered in the office and library to sorta keep an eye on them without being seen. I have always volunteered during elections to work at the polls. And this year I worked at a vaccine clini****il the clinic was closed. Haven't done much volunteering since May. I'm sorry I'm gonna miss the CA recall election (not the actual stupid recall but volunteering at the polls) because I won't be here, but I have already voted.
My meals yesterday
- B: coffee + barebells bar
- L: chickpea + black beans salad
- S: ratio coconut yogurt
- D: curry chicken, skipped the rice.
- E: Rest Day
Happy start of the week!
