...I don't have anything special to talk about today but I'm awake and no one else is so I thought I would talk to you (whoever you are). Anywho...my last post was about stress, would love to say the stress went away but it hasn't. I am just dealing with it better.
I know I didn't post a Wednesday Weigh In but it wasn't a good week, I didn't even realize I missed it until Thursday. Not sure what happened to Wednesday, maybe we didn't have one this last week. No worries, I will catch up next week (maybe).
Taz is doing well, acting more like himself each day...which is horrible for me. He wants to run and jump and do all those things dogs do. And he shouldn't. Still has at least 2 more weeks of recovery. The first surgery, on June 18, involved breaking a bone so he needs time for that to heal. He goes on Monday to get the stitches out from his 2nd surgery. Then it will be time for water physical therapy. He's gonna hate that, but I bought him a life jacket. The life jacket isn't so much so he won't drown because he can swim; it is because it has a handle on top that I can hold so he won't make a bee-line for the stairs to get out. He really hates water but it will be good for his leg and 4 weeks without a bath he needs a good disinfecting dunk.
Today is a shopping day for me. Need food for the week. As soon as my friend K texts me so I know she is ready. Not that the shopping list is long or even all that exciting. On this diet it is the same stuff all the time. Speaking of that, I need to make a list on my phone so I won't forget anything.
So, back to stress: I found out that my department is being RIFTed. For those unfamiliar RIFT means Reduction In Force Termination. Big fun, getting laid off. I decided that was the best time to further my Year of Self Improvement so I registered for school.
I have long regretted not going to college straight out of high school. You see, I was so much smarter than my parents back then that I thought I could make it without college. And that is kinda true, I have been making it so to speak just not making it as well as I would have been. Plus just having a degree, even if I don't use it, will make me feel better. So now that I am older and have realized how stupid I was at 17 until (probably now) I am going back. "Great"(sarcasm) news is that any and all classes I did take back then are (1) mostly over 10 yrs old so they won't count (2) even the ones not 10 yrs old are from out of state schools so they probably won't count (3) I don't even remember them so even if they did count I would have to take them over again so I can pass the next one. Anywho...onward and upward.
Not yet sure what I will do about my job. Maybe transfer within the company, maybe take a part time job to focus on school, maybe... Still lots of maybes in my life.
I am also thinking of going back to church. I have felt, over the last couple of years, that I am lacking peace. I can't really explain it but it is a feeling that I have. I remember when I used to go to church I had a way busier schedule but life never seemed chaotic, I have lost that feeling and need to find it again. More about this later, when I can formulate something to put in writing. Right now everything is just feelings.
Well, I guess that's all for now. Unless I think of something else and post again. Now I get to figure out how to label this.
