Ghoulies HMs and margaritas (Page 46)

Good Morning

Not feeling my best today.  DH and I started a mildly cleansing diet yesterday.  I am a little tired and my stomach is a little weird feeling.  I may not stick with it to the letter.  We'll see.  I did go ahead and workout last night.  I may swim this afternoon if my break at work is long enough.

I don't like dieting this way, but I need a jump start.  I am as heavy as I have ever been.  It doesn't seem to be budging despite my consistency with exercise lately.  

Be careful with those cleansing diets, I've never read anything good about them. Same with all that detox stuff.

It is really mild.  I don't even know that it would be classified as a cleanse, though it can clean you out!  Basically we eat lots of fruit & veggies, no meat or breads, etc.  for 5 days.  I think the biggest shock to my system is trying to keep my blood sugar and energy levels in line.

Good morning Ghoulies.  I really should remember to say good morning before I go and start responding to other posts, LOL.  Manners, manners, manners.

LOL   Good Morning!

Does everyone have their own login to computers, or is there one generic login for all?

Morning Dee and Kendra.

Morning Dee, Robin and Anne.  Hope that you are all having wonderful mornings.

Tonight I get to go to see Flash Dance at the Fox Theatre.  Woot!  I will be driving and I just found out that I will need to drop one person off at their house after the show.  This person does not drive at night, and usually someone else drives them home, but that person is not coming tonight.  Don't these people realize that I am up at 5:45 in the morning and that driving this person all the way to their house, which is 20 minutes past my house and thus adds 40 minutes to my driving, I won't get home until about 1pm to turn around and get up at 5:45 again.  Aaaarrrrrgh!  Oh, well.  I am going to have a wonderful time anyway.  I just won't think about all the driving.

And the person who asked me to drive the other person is retired and does not have to get up in the morning.  Grrrrr!

I will play nice.

Focus on the show. That is going to be FUN!!

That is a lot of driving to do, especially so late. Is it possible that they don't know your schedule?

Would they let a volunteer come help for a week? I guess after doing computer security for almost 10 years stuff like that really drives me nuts. It is so easy to create and manage accounts these days.

There is a girl in my daughter's class that likes to play sports but her mom doesn't drive and her dad works long hours on a local farm. We have driven out of our way to pick this girl up for an entire soccer seasons worth of practices and games. We picked her up for some basketball games and practices a few years ago. Last year she was on my daughter's softball team and we did a lot of driving for them. I don't mine helping, but it got to the point I felt I was being taken advantage of. I would be expected to contact them to make arrangements for a ride. If you need a ride you can ask me. I would tell them I'd be there at a certain time, no one would be ready. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. The mom is from Peru or Portugal, I don't remember which, and has a very lackadaisical attitude towards most things. One week she assumed we would take them, but never asked. She never asked, I didn't know she needed a ride, so we made plans with my parents to go eat after the game, then we were stopping for groceries. When she called at the last minute for a ride she expected me to change my plans. We picked them up for the softball picnic last summer, it was almost an hour from our house. We were almost there and she told us we had to go back to her house she thought she left the iron on. We went back, she took her time going into the house. The iron wasn't on. When she got back to the truck she stood there and talked instead of getting in the truck so we could leave. Ask me how ticked off I was. And you know what, if I complained to anyone about it I was the bad guy most of the time. Grrrr

This year Keri is playing for a different team so we don't have to worry about driving anyone other than us.

I hate when a gesture of kindness is thought of as an obligation on your part.

On a good note. I am taking the dog for a walk. A real live walk. First time I have been able to in DAYS.

Working. Then napping.

Then in no particular order: playing with pups, playing with kiddos, feeding kiddos, working out, cleaning up the workout area so I can do more/different workouts, some sort of housework, pick girl kiddo up from basketball practice, sleep.

sounds like a jam-packed day.

They usually are.

Tomorrow I see the doc about my shoulder. I'm hoping to get it taken care of so I CAN start doing more than just spending time one the treadmill. I want to lift weights and such. Can't do that if you can't lift your arm.

How are you feeling today?

I am here. Feeling somewhat better but I am not 100 % yet. Today is the last day of antibiotics. I am going in tomorrow if I am not all clear. I do NOT want this to hang around.

I hope the doc can get it fixed easily.

Most likely a steroid injection in my shoulder. I think I may have found the cause though, and that's a help. I carry my laptop back and forth to work everyday in a backpack. Every day, twice a day, I sling my backpack over my right shoulder and carry it around, this is the problem shoulder. Just this week I started carrying it on my left shoulder, or using both shoulder straps, and I'm already seeing an improvement. After stopping everything else carrying the backpack was the only thing I could think I was still doing and using my shoulder.

NOPE. Time to kick the crud to the curb!!!
