May 11, 2009 - Painted Into A Corner |
| I have seen my doctor more times this spring than I have in the last 5 years combined. Its been one health issue after another. Amongst all the issues, we have also talked weight loss. He covered a variety of options. Although I know they probably work quite well, one he didn't recommend was diet pills with ephedra. With my heart issues, he didn't think it would be safe for me, esp. when there are other options out there. I wish I could find something that would work in a great way, without all the side effects that I'm afraid I would probably be affected by. I feel like I have painted myself into a corner, and I am having a tough time finding that right path to get out of the corner. There will be a solution, I just have to find it. |

May 3, 2009 - Trying To Figure It Out |
|
We eat with David's mom and dad at least once a week. They run a "variety" store of sorts. His dad his always talking about his help and what they did (or didn't do) that day or that week. Another chief complaint is problems with his credit card service. They never can get their bank balance to balance out, and its usually because of the credit card deposits they do each day. I don't think they use Total Merchant Services, but maybe if they checked into a different service, he would have less problems. I don't know -- I worked with him 15 years ago, and I am not about to go down to his store and try and figure it out. I am finally out of his "complaint department" and I want to stay that way! |

May 2, 2009 - Skinny Kitty |
|
Our cat has a funny routine. He gets up in the mornings, and chases imaginary mice. He is literally bouncing off the walls. It will last all of 10 minutes or so, and then he's down for the count the rest of the day. Sleeping in my chair, or the bed. Someplace soft and warm. By all rights, this cat should be fat. We give him a big cereal bowl of food and he eats all of it. The amount he eats, I often wonder if we should look for cat appetite suppresants -- he just seems to eat and eat. But except for that 10 minutes every morning, virtually no exercise. And he is skinny as can be. There is another cat in our neighborhood that looks just like him, only that cat is fat. Or at least has some meat on his bones. I wish I had our cat's metabolism. |

April 25, 2009 - Not Rushing Into Things |
|
Ethan is out of town at a music contest for school, so it is just David and myself today. Course, we need to get to used to this. Ethan graduates in less than a month, so an empty (quiet!) house is something that will be occuring in the very near future. We have been kicking around alot of ideas. I work 2 part time jobs, plus computer work brings in some extra income. At my afternoon job, my boss wants to fire me. But here's the kicker. He actually really does like me. And he just can't justify firing someone who does a good job, and hasn't done anything wrong. The reason he wants to fire me? because he wants his new wife to be more involved in the company.
Because of the things I do on the computer to make extra money, not working at that afternoon job company could be an option. We just want to think this all through, and try not to burn any bridges, just in case it doesn't work -- the wife doing what I do.
All of this has me thinking. I like my job out there, and as long as I didn't leave on bad terms, only working part (my morning job, secretary at the church) would be great. Having the rest of the day to do as I please, working from home, having more time to get the sometimes neglected housework, maybe even throwing in top diet pills and a treadmill to my day and working on the physical side of my new lifestyle ... if I could make all of this work, I would quit in a heartbeat.
But, we aren't going to rush into it. David is backing me on this, so I'm going to follow his intutions on this, and try to look at the big picture before we decide anything. |

April 24, 2009 - Short and Manageable |
| I need to get it on my calendar just exactly what day I want Ethan to go get a haircut. Graduation is May 16. I don't want him to wait until May 15 to go get it cut. But cutting it May 1st is probably too soon. His hair is so thick and so course. He may have alot of problems as a teenager (acne, being overweight, etc), but seeking a hair loss treatment is not one of those things I will have to do for him any time soon. Although, if you look at his dad, it may be someday. There is definately some hair loss there, with his dad. Not bad, but somewhat noticeable. But, for right now, Ethan's only problem with his hair, is keeping it short and manageable. |
