Close call

I almost made a very expensive mistake at today. It wasn't really my fault, but I sure felt like it was. Luckily I caught it before anything happened, but I was pretty upset about it. Crying, the works, I was so upset that I can still feel the sick feeling in the bottom of my stomach. Things worked out fine, I had to tell my boss, but she was nice about it. I think she just wanted me to calm down. The best thing was I didn't feel like I needed to eat over it. That was great. It even happened around lunch, and thought about getting a splurge for lunch, ( you deserve it, you really didn't bankrupt the company) but I went home and left over fish instead. Felt good about that too. WHO AM I?? I walked for 25 mins on the treadclimber, knee still feels good. That just makes me really happy. So I have been busy today. All in all it was a good day. If I have time after work and before my meeting tonight I might walk around the neighborhood. Life is good!

    Ooh, I want a tread climber.

    Glad everything worked out with your mistake, and that it didn't cause a binge :)

    Sounds like you are making some really positive changes in many aspects of your life! I'm also glad that caught the mistake you "almost" made. We sure don't need any more bankruptcies in these economic times. Just kidding! I'm sure you were exaggerating... :-)

    p.s. you asked about my job...I'm the fire marshal for a small fire department in western Washington. I supervise the fire inspectors, fire education specialist, and fire investigators. And I also am occasionally the PIO and have to talk to the media about fires in our city.

    I'm sorry to hear about your close call (thank heavens you caught it in time). BUT, congrats on staying away from any emotional eating after that situation. BRAVO!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I m...

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don...
