Monday July 10

Dave! Glad to "hear your voice," neighbor. Boy, you're sure building up a storm. Yeah, I'm turning into a mowing fool. If you run out of grass, please drive over the border. :)

Hi all! Weight same as yesterday - I think. Tenths might be up a few, but I can't quite remember if I was .4, .2. or .6. I think .2, so let's say I'm up .4 - Like .4 matters! LOL! Well, .4 does matter if it keeps compounding, right?

Yes, lots of good thinking on this board.

Way too much to do this week so I can be completely free to tend to my girl's needs next week. My bed to lie in. I made it!

Had my first bout of mild depression yesterday since starting the new meds. However, it was easy to pinpoint the source of the depression, ponder it, sit with it, and then make a choice. I decided that the issue is not mine and I must do what is best for me, which in this case is to ignore the trigger (Ron's behavior). So, today that is what I am doing and it's working for me. I'd rather feel a bit selfish and detached than depressed, so that's the choice I'm making.

Must get back up off my butt and do some chores before my next client comes with her two little lovelies!

I forgot to yell this earlier -- FRENCHIE PUPPIES?!!!! love

206. Son was admitted to the hospital Sunday for psychiatric maintenance issues. He will probably be in a few more days. His friends planned a surprise party for Friday night, so he has to be out by then. My daughter was admitted to the ICU this morning...early this morning. I told her to call the ambulance but she started crying so off I went at 4 a.m. The boys came with us to the hospital. She was settled in around 7 so we went home, slept a few hours and I dropped them off at my cousins to play with her kids. Hashtag lifesaver. I got to work before 12:30 and have been working like a dog. Tomorrow, I can take the boys to camp and my brother will pick them up, so no worries for tomorrow.

My son does not like rotisserie chicken, but I do, so I picked one up on my way home from his hospital Sunday night and have been picking it apart. Food is background for now.

Rushing into the office this morning, a co-worker probably thought I was at lunch and wanted to chat. No time, but she was saying that it is amazing how I have been able to keep the weight off...every diet she tries ends in regain. I took a minute to talk. :) She tried the Whole 30 and lost 12 lbs but as soon as she stopped, almost all of it came back so she is trying it again. I said that I have regained some but told her I'm working on getting it gone. She said that it doesn't look like I've gained anything back, that I look so healthy... (that is what I was going for -- healthy).
