Hi all,
K-mom---Good to hear from you! I like what
Jaz says---in essence, just leave a paw print.
Trigger---Too hot for even you?!
Well, at least there is the water, and hoping that the nights cool down to oh, I dunno 95? Do you guys have AC in your RV? In any case, LOVE hearing from you from the beach! Actually, I would love to hear more details. We used to camp all the time, and I really miss it. I want to know what life at your RV looks like, right next to the ocean. You don't have to answer that wish of mine, but I really like to visualize where my pals are, and kind of try to live experiences thru them.
Jaz---Yeah, now see, that boss is just going to continue to be a burr under your saddle, just another reason to do the difficult job of starting to scroll for other jobs. I wish I had faith in corporate to remove her, but I do not, and I don't see any sign she's leaving soon. When you told me she's miserable at home w/her husband, that kind of said it for me. AND, I see a warm front and a cold front heading towards each other rapidly w/you and your boss.
Not to be bummerooni Blue, but my spidey sense says start looking for options, and the sooner the better, for many reasons. And like you said, maybe w/in the company you work for. I don't know how that works, but probably with an appointment w/HR.
But having looked at endless job boards out there lately, I can tell you that there's things moving and grooving out there, there IS NEED, and if I can say that in advertising/marketing, I can only believe it's SO MUCH MORE SO, in the health industry.
Hate the ugly truth about your car for you. I too once bought a total lemon and when you have one, you know you do, no matter what the miles. Agree w/
Nic IT IS WORTH a second opinion. But once a car starts bleeding you, my experience is, it never stops.
Nic---haha, you remind me of my SIL, who is in battle w/her counter point gramma for time w/the grandkids. They both love each other dearly, but give no quarter to each other when it comes to the grands. They every so politely push and pull. Our family's grand kids are incredibly lucky to be the source of a love tug of war. What could be better?
Lori---OMG, at least we don't have any wall paper to get rid of! We had plenty of it to banish when we first moved in here 30 years ago, and that is the worst.
Thanx for your sweet thought for us to the future---when we are all settled in our new digs and I can and will so enjoy describing our new life. I'm a re-arranger, a re-dreamer, a re-mixer and matcher, a re-do it person. And when I get there, I will enjoy that challenge, once again.

Ok gals. Directly to woe business. I'm not doing swell. Not horrible, but far from swell. Not binging, but not excelling on LC either. Not going wild, but not staying on the path. "NOT, BUT," pretty much describes it.
I don't want to make excuses for myself, and yet there are REASONS. Like the fact that we have no access to our kitchen right now. Could I overcome this? sure I could! But fact is I'm weary with it all, how fast things must move for us to get out of here, all the emotions involved, the financial stresses, and still working and looking for work.
This is NOT a POOR ME thing. It's a me who says, hands up, I am overwhelmed. Much of what was my life a year ago, has changed, and there are SO MANY things that need my energy and my attention.
SO. For right now my design is to eat LESS, but what is convenient. I am pretty much doing just one meal a day, sometimes more carbs than I like, but in the end, if I don't end up w/a great score on carbs, I'm doing really good on cals.
When the back end of our house is done and re-delivered to us as functional, I will re-design those rooms to sell, and I will re-design my woe to fit.
One thing I know is true. We are going thru a very fluid time in our lives, and it demands we bend and ebb and flow. No excuses, but OTOH, I'm not a LC robot either. Have to make it work in all times, yes, but sometimes it's a gonna work differently. And after going on 6 years on LC, those habits will not die easily.
I know I need to be back to them better, and I think I will be. I just can't take it all on now.
