Good morning! I didn't realize I forgot to post yesterday. I helped my dad weed the yard (hard to sit and relax watching an 83 year old weeding out the window...), walked Kirby, and cooked dinner for 6. It was a fun night.

My weight was down, but after the dinner party it bounced up so I had no loss this week. Last month's loss was only 1.4 pounds. Peps, I hope you're right about 12.5 or I may never make it to my goal! Even so, I feel pretty good at this weight and certainly better than 43 pounds ago.

Not sure what I will do today. It's another beautiful one. The only thing I have to do is clean up the stuffed toy guts all over the house and walk Kirby.

I keep waking up with headaches. Which is either dehydration or I fear sleep apnea. So I think I will try to step up my water (which, who am I kidding, is almost none and too much diet soda and coffee) and if that doesn't do it, talk to my doctor when I get home about a sleep study. Waaaah.

Alright, off to pick up stuffing... Take care!

PS on the subject of school nightmares, I also have them and it's either me showing up in my underwear and trying to hide or arriving for a final for a foreign language class I never remembered to go to. I think my subconscious figures I could fudge my way through a history or English final, but not one on a language I don't speak!

A good day it is!

The 1st day went well! The middle school teachers said this group would be as tough as last year. Maybe they will show themselves differently in the coming days, but they sure didn't come in all hot and guns blazing like my kiddos last year. I didn't hear anyone swear or call each other derogatory names. They came to class on time. They answered questions directed towards them. So I'll call that a good day.

167.4, another uptick but I'm not sweating it! Feeling better, food is mostly going down easier. Still waiting to take my weekly shot. I did get my 1000 calories in yesterday and am on track for today!

Much needed haircut this morning! I always love a fresh cut!

I met with a new care receiver for my Stephen's Ministry program today. We hit it off beautifully and I think it will be a good match. I'm essentially there to be a non judgmental listening ear!

Mushroom Swiss burgers were excellent last night, wish I could have finished the one small burger I made for myself. Tonight is BLT's since neighbor is giving us weekly tomatoes from his garden.

Not much else going on with me today. Think I will work on some scrapbooking. Need to fini**** up so I can sell my supplies before our move.

Glad you got good rest Liz, enjoy the beach sitting!

Peps, I still have work related dreams! I bet yours will continue as well. Funny thing is I still have school related dreams (can't find my classroom, forgot to study for the test, etc) and I have not been in classroom since 1992! I had to giggle about your cheating on the mandatory safety videos. I would do the same as you! Why not? If you can pass the test, you know the stuff! Other than that , I'm such a rule follower!

I finally slept last night! Amazing how much better one feels mentally and physically after sleeping well. This morning feels like fall - very crisp and clear.

Yesterday I spent a couple of hours sorting through the first box of pictures I brought here. Amazing how few are worth keeping years later. We did make it to the beach eventually but it was fairly cool so did not wear bathing suits and just went late in the day to read. We had a great piece of swordfish cooked on the grill for dinner.

I received an email from the claims person on my rodent chewed car - they are looking at it on Thursday, so that means I will have lost a minimum of another 1.5 weeks use of my car. The mileage sure is not going to show much change this year!

I'm not sure what we will do today. We are still at DH's place and will return to mine either late tomorrow or early Thursday. We might go to Chatham as I need to order DH's birthday gift there and then go out to eat or we might go to the beach here.

That's it for the rundown! Have a tremendous Tuesday!
