Grumpy

Yesterday was quite a busy day. Mr. ralph thankfully had the day off and drove me around everywhere I needed to go.

I had to have an x-ray and an appointment with my surgeon as well as get my fingerprints taken at the police station so I can send away for my FBI background check. I also had a 5pm doctor's appointment so I could find out why the hell I'm not getting any better after being sick for a week.

We went to the police department first because I wanted to get that out of the way at the beginning of the day, but they told us that it is better to go after hours because during the day they have a lot fewer people available to do the prints.

We went to mr. ralph's mum's house because it is right down the street from the police department and spent an hour there before going into the city and having lunch.

After lunch I stopped in to the Goodwill shop and bought a pair brown leather loafers for $3.50! She priced them so low because she said they were a "kid's size", but my tennis shoes are a kid's size too. I can get away with kid's shoes in most styles.

After that we got the x-ray and went to see my specialist. He said I am healing nicely and that was good to hear. The next appointment is in 3 months and at that time I will need to have a C-T scan as it will be one year after the operation. Can you believe that? I hope that by that time I will be comfortably below my WW goal weight.

After that we were home for just a few hours before I went to the Doctor's and found that I have a mild case of sinusitus. He gave me an extra day off today and put me on a 10-day antibiotic.

Am I feeling better? Well not exactly, but by tomorrow I should be on the upswing because it usually takes 2 days for antibiotics to take hold.

By the time that was over we were out the door to the police department again and had my fingerprints done. Which cost a hefty sum of $49 AUD. Everything about this is costly. We've spent so much money this week it is shocking.

The reason I was so grumpy is because I hate being sick and I have begun to really detest my life as it is. I want to move. I'm ready for a change and I'm ready to move back to the US. Mr. ralph is not finished with the rewrite of his thesis and it is driving me nuts.

I may be able to secure myself a raise at work in the next few months if I can keep the mistakes at a minimum as I have for the past month. This will be good and I will begin to start my own little savings plan for going to the US. I've actually told mr. ralph that if he plans on taking another year to finish this and get us ready to move, I may actually move without him and look for a job ect. while waiting for him to join me. I don't think he likes this idea, but hopefully he is taking me seriously, because I am so serious.

so hectic at the moment AND you are sick as well? that just sucks! I am a bit sad that you are moving back to the states - i guess you feel quite accessable here ( even though we haven't met - i know that we could one day!)but follow your heart!

as arlie said, follow your heart. and it never hurts to push the boys too!

i never use coconut milk with curry. I just use curry powder and sprinkle it just like you do with salt or pepper. you will find out the right quantity for your taste after a couple of times :)

It's rough to be so busy when you're feeling well. I hope you get some rest so you can feel better soon.

I'm sure the antibiotics will kick in soon and you'll be feeling right as rain.

Where are you thinking of moving to in the U.S.? Do you have family here? I'm always interested in what makes people want to move overseas. I've often thought about doing it myself, but it's mostly just so I can move to Scotland and be around a lot of hot guys, so I've never seriously pursued it.... (grin)

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 ...
