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...

Weigh-in March 5th

I weighed in at 68.1, and was amazed to discover that I lost 800 grams this week. I've only got just over 5 kilos left to lose before I reach my goal. Like WOW. I mean wow. I am pinching myself. Can you believe this? A weight loss 2 weeks in a row?!?! I mean jeez, imagine what I could do if I got my butt up off the couch and started exercising. I think I owe it all to the Wendie Plan, which by the way I told all my fellow weight watcher' members about today. I tried to tell them anyway, but I couldn't say a whole lot because our leader likes to hog all the air time. It is weird. I've never felt so shut down in a place where we should all be sharing our ideas with each other. Isn't it a support group, not a one-woman-show? Plus she is boring and only talks about the same thing over and over again. I've heard enough about low GI foods, exercising, how her daughter is a dancer, and how good it is to eat protein for breakfast. I would try out a different ...

Very sad

I was just told in an email from my brother that my 16 year old cat has been left by my sister to "fend for himself," as she is leaving the area and did not choose to take him with her. I know he is too old to make it own his own as he has been living as a house cat for his entire life. At the moment he has arthritis and doesn't walk very well and he is going blind. My mother was keeping him alive by giving him his regular pain medicine and watching out for him. We were considering having a vet put him down a few weeks ago because my mom told me that he was urinating throughout the house and she wasn't sure if he would be better off dying now than having to suffer more health issues as he gets older. We had decided to put it off, but now I have to let him go because I know he won't survive this. I can't stop watching the news and wondering why all of the people have been left in New Orleans for so long without evacuation. It is difficult not to think it is ...
