glad it's almost over

This week has gone by so fast. I had something everyday after work. Except tonight. I plan on going to bed extra early. I woke up 10 mins before I needed to be at work. That never happens. I went and got a massage after my adjustment Wed and I guess I was really relaxed. The massage was so nice. Butt muscle still ouchy. My upper arm is hurting now too. Ugh. I have a line on a over night job that is suppose to be easy. I would love an easy patient. I am waiting to hear from them. I hope it really is easy and pays the same. A girl can dream, right?

Of course I am conflicted. I don't want to leave my L.L. and her family in the lurch. It's pretty obvious that it's getting harder and harder for the family to keep her at home. Her funds will run out soon. Plus they can't keep care givers. Especially over nights. Another girl just quit. Like I said. It's not an easy job. Her sons are going to fill in over nights for awhile. Hopefully they can find someone else. So maybe this is the Lord's way of saying I need to move on. We will see what happens. Stay tuned.

I haven't walked all week. Toe + Early starts + pain + cold weather = no walking. Going to see if I still know how in the morning. I haven't felt mentally sharp. Kind of foggy. Can't concentrate. I am sure lack of movement and not spot on food is a major factor. I am still amazed at how much my physical well being is so essential for mentally well being. For all my fat years I thought I was functioning at my best. I told myself all those studies were bunk. I just feel kind of stuck.

I am so glad this week is over. I need 2 days off for sure. Today she was insisting I put her in bed with her husband. Bless her heart. I had to show her there was no one there. She still thought I was "pulling one over on her". She was so defeated. I was so exhausted. Tomorrow is a new day.

Keep the mood and the food real............

    Thinking of you today - you have given as much as you can to LL - and I know she, somehow and somewhere, appreciates it. xoxo GP

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...
