Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Thanks to everyone who complimented the pictures from the weekend. You know how to make a girl blush.

We enjoyed our dinner and then we actually got to hear hairy lemon again because they were playing across the street from where we ate. It was a total coincidence.

I'm still in a lot of pain in my shoulders and I know it is from the tension at work. I spoke again to my team leader yesterday and he doesn't really take my complaints about getting help seriously because in his words, he is not getting that feedback from anyone else. Just because I am the only one that ever speaks up about anything. Everyone else is just scared shitless.

He did tell me that there are no time restraints placed on me when I am doing that particular job, so I am to take my time and not let call quality or anything bother me. This is very easy for him to say in theory, but when you have someone waiting on the phone it is just your instinct to try to help them in a timely manner.

All I can do is try to keep myself calm and when I feel the stress getting high, take an extended break off the phone.

I have a massage booked for Saturday. I hope it is enough to help reduce the pain.

I'm not doing that good with the exercise this week. I did go for a run/walk yesterday morning for 5 laps. But I was just too exhausted this morning. I slept in a little extra and my eyes are still stinging from the tiredness. I will try to get out tonight after the sun goes down. Maybe just for a walk with mr. ralph. I should also do my strength exercises.

For Valentine's Day I had flowers waiting for me at home. It was quite unexpected since he bought me the new shoes from the pictures as my pressie, but it was a good surprise. He got me two arrangements, one is just a bunch of pink and white tulips. They are absolutely beautiful.

good for you speaking out at work. i always say if one person is speaking out there are 10, 50, 100 who are too scared to do so. not everyone has the courage.

I got fuchia, orange and red tulips! I just adore tulips, I find them the simpler and yet prettiest flowers! I actually adore the way they seek for sunshine, as they turn their heads to the sun! Glad you enjoyed this extra surprise!

Hi Rebeka - thanks for stopping over at my blog earlier.

Ouch - not good when work is being a "real" pain. Hope Saturday gets here soon enough for you for your massage!

A trip down memory lane

Hello to all of you all of you coming via Michele , thanks for stopping by and I only hope it was worth the trip over. I began reading through the questions on the Slimmer of The Year application today. Of course there are so many things I want to include, but I can't possibly write everything I want to or they will be getting a novel. When I started thinking of how long I have been overweight and the reasons I struggled for so long with food and weight issues a lot of memories came back to me. I've been challanged by my weight for most of my life. Granted some of that time I only thought I was fat when I really wasn't. The point is that I have been fat inside my head for as long as I can remember. One of the most shameful and embarrassing moments was when I was 15 and some of the boys in my class thought it was funny to sing "thunder, thunder, thunder thighs hooooooo!" when they saw me coming to the tune of the cartoon "Thunder Cats." That experie...

Double your pleasure, double your fun...

Halfway through I do switch gears and talk about weight-loss once again [begin political rant] Recently I went out with one of my aussie female friends on a night where she was meeting up with a guy she had met on one of the match websites. That night I did happen to partake in a few too many drinks due to the price of one of my favorite bottled beers being only $4 compared to $7 or even $8 in some places. The man she met happened to be very nice, and I enjoyed speaking to him, but he had a friend with him who was with a female the likes of which I refer to as "granola". You know the kind. I don't like to contribute to stereotypes, but I hope the term "granola" is not in the least offensive to any of my readers. I like; it is good with some honey and milk. Anyway to get to the point the man friend and ms. granola appeared to not like me and it became increasingly clear why. With every comment I made about anything they seem to have the exact opposite opinio...

A summary of yesterday

The day started off really well because my body had somehow managed to go back to normal and I pulled out a one kilo loss for the week. I was very pleased with that, and the girls at my weight watcher's meeting had a present for me! I was soooooo surprised. I had invited them to come out for drinks with me and was pleased that they said they would come, they didn't have to buy me a present as well. But they got me a beautiful vase. I haven't photographed it yet, but it is in the plans. Friday night mr. ralph's friend that moved to Melbourne called and said he would be flying in and could come out as well to celebrate with me. It was very nice to see him. The dinner went well, except the dish I ordered was a seafood soup which consisted of seafood floating in heavy cream; not the most weight-conscious choice, but I managed to eat the seafood and bits of potato and leave the cream behind, and it took over an hour for us to get our food from when we ordered. After d...
