Weight 127.8 after eating pasta, so not terrible.

I told SILs and DSD about my bout with Covid, but haven't told DS because I didn't want him flipping out. I was going to tell him in person, but I guess I have to call him today and disclose because he is making noise about keeping me in quarantine for most of my time home because I am flying back from Florida. Sigh...

And I am going home Sunday instead of Tuesday. I cancelled the flight I was taking with Mike because he isn't even sure he is going home at all. So I am flying from my usual airport on my own (with Justice). I am happy to have some extra time at home though I am not looking forward to being cold.

I bought myself my annual gift from DH yesterday: A Roomba vacuum. I had been thinking about it for a while and the prices were good. I spent a lot of time vacuuming the other day so I like the idea of it getting done automatically on a regular basis.

Today I am driving my car to Mike's place on the east coast so I can get my stuff and come back on my own on Saturday. I am going to try to take essentially everything in case I decide not to spend as much time there after I return in 2021.

Nothing else to report! Have a safe and healthy Thursday!

no weight- coffee (or was the coffee an excuse to dodge the scales...probably - pretzels and peanuts last night with over abandon).

The thing is to not turn this into more than a one time blip. Damned old tapes telling me that since the tap has turned on I might as well let the food flow. Tape also insisting that until I indulge this uncomfortable feeling of an intense need to eat junk, the feeling will not go away.

Brain knows that dumping food down the pie-hole will not satisfy- rather the opposite?the need to nonstop eat refined carbs will increase.

Inner child screaming and throwing tantrum to be indulged...

It is stop now, or stop God only knows when..

Thus goes my own journey with food dysfunction?-

****

Sounds like your inner food demons are twinsies with my my inner food demons!

Well, then, they Both need to be spanked soundly and sent to their rooms!

Weight: a pound of salt gain gone, but half a pound remaining

Oh, you guys. The book thing was too good to be true. First, two auction winners have ghosted and not paid, so I will not be mailing those. And then the first of my two really big ones contacted me yesterday to say that 15 books were missing from the order. So either she's lying or the box was opened, pilfered of half the contents, resealed, and delivered. Either way, eBay offers no protection to the seller, so I am not only out the books and shipping costs, but will have to refund her the money. It would have been so much less anxiety to just have donated them!!! No more eBay selling for me. Given my anxiety has been at Defcon 2 for a week, this is not what I needed at all.

I didn't end up having lunch with my friend, as she had something come up. But I do love canceled plans, so that was fine.

The cleaning people are coming today and my place is a wreck, so I need to get off of here and pick up.

Hope you all have good days!

Oh geez - that stinks! Definitely not worth it!

People suck sometimes - hate being messed around - sorry this happened to you Cec

Running in late ... been on the go since 5am

Physio this morning then a quick zoom interview for a job I applied for nearly a month ago and hadnt heard back from. Seems they had a lot of applications - hardly surprising given the situation many have been left in by COVID. Will see if I make it to the next stage. Certainly daunting after 16 years of not having to look or interview etc .... Its an Administration Manager role in the main icty close to the farm so if I was successful - I would be moving up there full time. Not a bad thought at all

Just out of meeting and having some lunch before I tackle the next task. Heading to the farm after work so looking forward to that. Family lunch planned at a pub after visiting FIL and SIL graves - both their birthdays tommorrow. Will be nice to gather

I had best run - chasing my tail today

Good luck with the job offer. I so hope you get the proposal you're looking for!
