A small glimpse in how my last few days have gone.
Thursday- Weigh in day and WW meeting. Missed both because I thought we were going to Water Country early. We made it to Water Country at 3 PM because there were so many obstacles thrown at us as we prepared. We were there for three hours and it turned out to be a great three hours. My nephew is at the age now that everything is such a blast for him.
Friday- Started off quiet but got mad when I had to drive to our main store to get some transfer items. I do not like to do that because it makes me late and wastes gas. Went to work and it was somewhat good. I left work early because my cousin's graduation was at 7 . I left in plenty of time and should have had time to spare. OK, sure . The main tunnel I use was blocked due to an accident. It took me 20 minutes to slowly make it to the next exit to try a different route. Well a thousand other people had the same idea. What should have been a 26 minute ride was 1 hour 15 minutes. I was one mile away from the graduation ceremony at 6:57 and the doors close at 7 PM. There was no use, I could not get there , park and run into the Coliseum in three minutes. I am not superwoman. My sister had my ticket because we were supposed to go together, so now I had no ticket and would risk her not being there either if she came out to give me a ticket. Well my cousin understood and I went to his party today, so he was happy.
It does not stop. I came home and did some work on the computer which I do alot because the computers at work are on sabbatical ( broke). I thought I had accidentally left a good amount of money in the car. I went out and did not find it. I was frantic and ran up the front steps only to trip on my own sandals on my feet. I crashed knee and elbow first onto the concrete. Yes, ouch. Sad thing, no one inside heard me even as I slammed up against the front door. I was out there alone , trying not to cry and praying nothing was broke. I was ok , somewhat, scratched and bleeding but ok. Oh and I had brought the money in earlier.
Saturday- Woke up sore from my fall the night before. I really want to stay in bed but have to get up and meet my employee to take her some things for the day since I was off for the graduation party. The box I pulled broke and all the books crashed out. I had another box that had father's day mugs for my preschool sunday school class. I pulled all six out with no problem and then pulled the box out and one mug came with it and went crashing on the ground and broke. Oh well, now I have to hope I have enough to pass out Sunday morning.
The rest of the day went pretty good. It was nice to have a Saturday and not to have to do much. I usually work on Saturdays. The only bad thing was overeating. I struggle big time with family get togethers. I am ok all week at home but a family get-together and I have an eating binge. Does anyone else have this problem?
Sunday- Havn't started that day yet but it has to get be better than some of the previous days. I will try to make sure both feet are on the concrete and not my knees or elbows. We are having a family get-together and I will try not to over-indulge. It will be hard though. The fortunate thing is that I prepared most of it and it is low-fat and WW healthy, yayyy.
Ohhh one more thing, the locals will understand. It is hard enough with this humidity for those of us who have any kind of breathing problem but we are also battling at night a wind change which is causing us to get smoke and scents from the Great Dismal Swamp fires. I think tonight was the worst night yet. I could even smell it coming through my vent in the kitchen. It has been horrible.
