Ahhhh, finally Friday and I can relax… Well sort of relax- Now I do the stuff that I couldn’t cram into the days that I worked-

Someone told me yesterday that I didn’t need TV at my house, I suspect they are right- We have comedy, drama, and the Wild Kingdom wrapped into one household.. My DGD called me at 4:15AM (I’m at work of course) this time she had let the dog out and a bat in, and now she’s afraid that it will attack and try to eat her face- I am speaking about a  fairly intelligent person here- that statement that the bat would eat her face totally blew me away, HUH??? Of course she’s mad at the dog because he didn’t react to it, not sure what she expected him to do, but…
Definately an interesting start to the day!!

Weight wise, I think I’m doing okay, although I fear I have an addiction to rice cakes… I’m okay diet wise, but I do so like them..
Now that I’m on a team, I decided that I needed to get my hiney in gear and do a bit more exercise, so yesterday I did a WW Walk audio on the treadmill, and carted my brand new step bench thing I bought in February (but never used) to work- I think I may be able to get a few exercises done here during the off time.
Short one today- not feeling chatty~ must need more coffee

It’s been a pretty quiet night, except for my DGD- She called me 4 times..We have a neighbor who likes his beer- He gets so wasted that he gets lost coming home (walking) there have been times he has wandered into the wrong house and passed out on their couch, so since he’s moved back into the area (the past 5 years) I make sure when I work night shift I lock the front door. ( I had forgotten to tell her I guess, or she wasn’t listening )Shortly after I got to work she called me in a panic ,stating someone tried to break into the house..I sent the guys to the house, then called the LT and told me that it could be their neighbor guy. Even so they did a complete sweep of the house and yard. (also got a call from another neighbor reporting suspicious activity in the area* kids with flashlights ) I got my grand daughter  somewhat calmed down and hung up. A few minutes later I got yet another call, this time she’s hearing doors shut upstairs- My first inclination was to tell her it was just the ghost, but figured she might totally freak, so had her take a flashlight up to check my bedroom door- The wind was blowing, so I figured that it had most likely shut the door- It had* In the mean time she looks out my side window and can see our neighbor  and she starts giggling- I guess he was so hammered that he was having navigational problems.. She said he was better to watch than what was was on tv… Yet another crisis handled

On the whole, not a good day, I’m still dealing with the teenage drama- apparently they have almost gotten back togetehr again and I am NOT a happy camper. I like him, but they don’t do well together- sheesh only 18 more days!!!

I was so furious when I found out that it was either eat or do the treadmill- I’m getting stuck in my ways I like peace and quiet (I suspect I’m the female Mr Wilson, and she’s a female version of Dennis the Menace!!! lol ) so I opted for the tread, but I did have a few pistachios and a handful of cheese curls- Much better than it used to be tho I would have finsihed off both and went looking for more!!

She keeps me from turning into one of those old codgers tho and for that I must be thankful… She would like my catagory- Random is one of her favorite descriptions for everything..

Well it’s starting to get daylight and I want to catch up on a few exercises that I can do at work ** beofre the onlookers arrive :)  Have a great day, I intend to!!!

Wow, what can I say…This night shift is the pits, but the evenings are going to be a challenge, it really screws up my schedule, it seems that I’m awake too many hours for the points (calories, what have you). I have 2 more graveyards, then I start 4-mid on Sunday- yikes, that doesn’t give me much time to get things figured out.

  I didn’t get my outside walk, well the normal one with the beasties, so I have been pacing back and forth, back and forth, back and …Not exactly exciting :)… I’m thinking I’ll grab the beasties when I get home this morning and walk on the dike. If there’s a wind of sorts, otherwise the mosquitoes will be horrid

I’m trying to get most of my water in while at work- It works fine for now, but when the other people start arriving, I won’t be able to “sneak” off to the bathroom as I can during the night…

I have discovered that I wanted a theme song to go with my dieting- Weird, but it had to be a up song that would immediately “pep” me up- Kind of an anchor, in Anthony Robbin’s speak. I chose “Jump” by Van Halen for now, and  once I can locate that Gloria Estefan one, I’ll probably switch to that. It’s called something like” Get on your feet” I can’t remember it that well, except that I want it:)

  We have 3 more weeks with the granddaughter with us, then she heads back home- Well after a weeks vacation in Western Montana. The Daughter-in-law, both grand daughters, and DIL’s sister are having an all girl vacation and will be spending it with her dad (DIL’s) and step mom. Although it’s nice to have her here, it’s also nice to have her go home. There is soo much Drama in a 16 year olds life- Sheesh, I’m glad I never had a girl, she would be in a convent from age 5:)) My brother had 3 girls and my son 2, was I ever lucky with one boy

Well, enough blathering* Diet is going so so- Nothing spectacular to report same ol same ol

Ok, So here I am sitting here in the middle of the night trying to figure out what I am doing. I have never had a blog, well maybe a little one- Even so this might be good, it will aloow me to chatter, rant, rave and etc at will:) Now that can’t be too bad ..

I lost 1 measly pound this week- One would think as heavy as I am I would lose more, but I have to blame it partially on the darn meds I have to take and lack of movement. I’m alot more active than I used to be, but still I could do more!!

About 2 weeks ago I switched back to the Weight Watchers plan and so far even tho the weight isn’t spectacular, it’s going down.. Shoot I weght the same as I did three years ago and when I think of all the money I have invested… Mind boggling- One the other hand, what would have happened if I had NOT invested?? Would I be? Like Rita? It wouldn’t be surprising- I simply can not become her. To be held prisonor in my own body, unable to walk, to enjoy even the simplest pleasures because you are too fat to get there:(( It simply can not happen!!!
