All in all, last week went okay: managed 3 mornings of stretching (pretty good after weeks of nothing, I think), made my annual word count goal, and crossed off a lot of my weekly goals. My biggest issue seems to be adjusting to the schedule. I hit a downtime between 3 or 4 till about 10 or 11, which would be fine except the kids are home and I ( Read more... )

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack ( Read more... )

I'm really frustrated right now. Between the financial pressures (which have indeed gotten even worse) and the weather and health issues, I'm having trouble keeping my head emotionally above water. Hubs hours got cut again. One the one hand, about everyone is getting their hours cut while the company hires new people (and the only thing we can ( Read more... )

I'm really struggling to get back on track with the exercise because the weather is flattening me. We've had a new storm roll in almost every day this past week. Some aren't so bad in terms of actual weather, but they are all beating me up: headaches, queasiness, and a general SAD related malaise. Either I'm in too much pain or too out of it to ( Read more... )

Last week pretty much sucked. The case worker for my son's SSI absolutely refused to return my calls, and then they took almost $300 from his money, and we had to scramble to pay rent and buy food. Thank goodness my oldest got her college "housing" check and saw the wisdom in setting aside her plans to make sure we had a roof over our heads and ( Read more... )

It has been a week. Again, good writing numbers, but that's in spite of the storm headaches, queasy tummy, and other aggravation this week ( Read more... )

Actually, despite a few minor setbacks, last week was a pretty good week: high word count (mostly on Charms), lost weight, and the infection from the tooth of doom is in check. However, because I started spotting within a week of finishing a period, I'm back on the hormones. Not totally bad, not what I wanted, but not totally bad. I'd rather not ( Read more... )

After all that talk about what I needed to do last week, this week spiraled badly. Routines changed--first week the kids were out of school, oldest and grand baby took off for a few days, and I started migrating to my night owl preferences which messed up my day stuff--then my back went out which cut out exercise for the week. Plus the leak we had ( Read more... )

The big news is the doctor's appointment last week. According to the doctor, I've lost 10 pounds since he last saw me (not really sure when that was-sometime around the end of the year, I guess?) and my BP was good. He's switching me to a new combo med that takes the two medications I'm on now and combines them. Will be nice to take one less pill ( Read more... )

So like I noted in my brief post yesterday, I'm not counting the sugar fest from the weekend against me...but I still lost half a pound. I was more than a little surprised by that. Now, with the Easter candy generally on its way out of the stores, getting back on track should be a little easier. At least I hope so. Also hoping things go much more ( Read more... )
