I got on the scales again this morning, only to find a few more ounces added to what had increased yesterday. What in the world is going on? Granted, I have not been following any diet plan; but eating what I want, but still..... I DID have a grilled chicken salad (1/2) from McAllister's and 1/2 of a McAllister wrap last night - surely that can't justify the scale going up. I had a protein shake in the morning. Ate some dark chocolate almonds - but not many - I honestly don't know what I could have eaten (volume or quantity) that could affect. This week has been the pits for sure as far as weight gain! And if I indulge in things I shouldn't, I expect it - but I haven't. It's irritating, for sure. Not that I focus so much on the weight - but I do. Sigh. Isn't this something we all deal with? Oh - I did have Mediterranean lentil soup - 1/2 cup - with my saltine crackers (I'm sorry, not sorry, but saltine crackers go with everything - especially ice cream - which I had none of) in it. And my legs are still sore from working out on Monday - and here it is Friday.... complain complain, right?
It's Friday and I get a long weekend since the office is closed on Monday. I started yesterday in asking people to approve their timecards - I do not want to have to get online Monday to approve them. This afternoon I'll check on who hasn't done it yet and start nagging. Why should I have to get online to approve their timecard on a holiday when THEY are responsible for approving it themselves first? Grumble! They will get it done - I nagged over the 4th of July and they all appeased me so that I didn't have to get online on my day off. :-)
Today I'm covering for a co-worker but her people generally do not send me anything. Unfortunately, for her, when I'm off and she's covering for me, my male boss gives her plenty to do! I think she had 8 meetings to do the week I was off. True, it doesn't seem like much, but trust me, it is work.
Hubby has left for his bible study this morning so I have a little time alone. :-) I've already got the work computer turned on and cleared messages so I'm hoping it will be a slow day. I want to focus on the boards and get the minutes completed and get the decks ready for the next meeting. I also need to start creating meetings for next year and get meetings extended so that someone else doesn't take the space I need. It's a hectic chore when you have 5-6 bosses that you need to extend their calendars.
I went to see Ms. Diane last night. She really looked bad. Especially compared to Sunday when I went to visit. Sunday she was looking happy, fresh, and in good spirits. I hadn't been back since Sunday, although I had talked to her a few times. I went last night and she was gray, she was in bed, she looked like death warmed over. A CNA came in to give her a pill for her blood pressure - and raised her bed - and the look on Ms. Diane's face was pure pain! The CNA stopped and lowered it some again. After she left, Ms. Diane said her back has been hurting dreadfully to where she asked for pain pill the other night and they gave her a pill, but it did nothing. She asked for another yesterday, and no one had brought her anything. She has had no more therapy except the one my DIL did (I think). She has laid in bed for two days; she can't get up - I take that back - they did get her to walk to the bathroom one day. But she is in extreme back pain to where I wonder if when she fell, because she fell backwards, did she pinch a nerve or chip a spinal bone? I am no medical person so I don't know - but no one has checked her injuries from the fall, so she says. And now I guess it doesn't really matter. She told me again that her kids are moving her to another facility on Tuesday. I looked it up and it looks like a nice place, and the reviews say a doctor stops in every day plus they get therapy every day. I thought she was getting therapy every day here (that she can do it) but I don't know what has been ordered. I'm sure nothing has been ordered now that her kids want to move her. It's further away - but I will still make an effort to go visit her as I can.
Can you believe this? I can't think of anything to write about! My life is so interesting, you know.
We are still sleeping with the fan off and the thermostat down (although not as 'down' as I told him to put it!) and I am finding that I am sleeping deeper than I was before. At least I feel like I slept when I wake up. We talked a little about it last night. I'm glad not to wake up soaked in sweat even with the fan blowing on me! I don't know what the difference is, but it seems to work. Hubby runs the fan on high in the evening to cool down the room, then shuts it off when we go to bed. Works for me if I can sleep better.
Looks like I'm out of time and need to sign off and get on the work computer. I couldn't even think of a scripture to add this morning. Has the work week caught up with me? Nothing going on tonight - I am going to try to run up and see Ms. Diane again. Her son was to call me last night but did not. He is definitely not dependable. I'll let him go until about noon today and I'll text him again - although he has not responded to my first text; he called Ms. Diane while I was there and I talked to him then. He said he was coming to her house today - so will see. I do have to make a run to pick up a combo box today - thinking about getting 4 more cases of strawberries....
Gotta go - have a good day and hopefully I will have something to share tomorrow!
Blessings!
