Good morning ladies, and hope you are having a great weekend.

Part of me feels I have failed yet again, but I am here now, so that is what counts. Each week bets a bit easier, and I know before long I will be back down to a regular work schedule. The new lady is working out very well. But (and I hate myself for this), I think I am a bit jealous of her. She is so knowledgeable and my boss is going to her alot to have her start on stuff. So, I have to be very careful not to let my unwarranted negative feelings get in the way. We need her....I need her, and I can't always be on top of the pack so to speak. I don't like myself when I allow such petty thoughts into my head...I want to be a kind and care person and treat everyone with respect. So, I have work ahead of me in this area.

Otherwise, I gained weight this week, and found myself out of control a few times (again because of the negativity, I believe). This morning stepped on the scale and exactly 250 pounds....at least it is an even number to start again. I went and bought groceries yesterday and made myself a pot of hamburger macaroni soup, and a package of grilled fish fillets. I also bought a tiny container of rice. Rice is not a food I normally eat, so I am not sure how I am going to make out with that. I think tonight will end up being grilled filled with a baked potatoe. I also bought some lettuce and carrots, but did not buy fruit. We have fruit at work all week, so there is no reason why I am not eating it!

Hi Cheryl - I heard there has been snow and storms around home lately as well. Funny in the north and it hasn't been to bad at all!
Julie - Very nice of you to give those tickets to you neighbor. That was so kind of you!
Karrie - Sorry to hear you are still struggling. It is good to see you back
Anni - Hope you are feeling better soon
Boston - I hope that the weather doesn't dampen your plans.....that is the one thing I don't like about this time of year. You never know what the weather is going to be like!!

I am off to Walmart to look for a shredder, and then off to work for a bit. I have had a bad sinus cold all week, so I am hoping to be home by 1 or 2 and rest for the remainder of the day. Have a great Sunday everyone!!
