meeting dawn!


A quick check in the mirror -
Yes - my hair is a mess - good!

I got to spend a lovely hour or so with the delightful Dawne!
All the way here from Canada!

So many of us Bloggers have been chatting together 
For nearly 5 years!

I can't wait to travel more and meet more people!

I have met so many wonderful and supportive 
Weight Loss Bloggers and Face Book People  -
I am so glad to be part of a wonderful group!

Have a safe trip back home, Miss Dawne!
Next time I am in Canada,
I would love to visit you!

an update

Hello Bloggers - and others!

I am finally finally finally 
About to start to recover
From the Funk of Late
That I have been in.

I have been at my new job 4 months - 
For almost as long as the Group Home had patients.
Which was all of 5 short months -
Before they closed it down.

So the New Job is giving us Dental and Vision
in our Insurance Packet.
I already have the VA, and I have not been to a Doc for like 20 years.
Except for my GallBladder, and when I broke my arm.
So I took a pass on the Medical part.

I also quit drinking my beloved Wine.
I get offended in it sometimes -
All the things we LC'ers have to "give up"...
And that is not the right mindset.
I mean - giving up crap is an improvement - 
Not a punishment!

 
So yay!

Still loving my LC and steaks -
What is not to love!

Plus, making all the changes to the apartment
Has really helped me sleep.
That, and Unisom.

A fellow FB friend said that maybe giving up wine is like quitting carbs:
We THINK that carbs will give us energy, 
And it does, a bit, but at a price.
Same with Wine.
We think it will help us sleep.
Maybe not so much!

The new job is on a wellness kick, too!
And now that I am sleeping and working out the kinks of my job,
I am happier and have a ton of energy!

So maybe -just maybe I can hit the trail -
And the little gym at the apartment complex!

I am actually looking forward to it!
