It's the start of another week and less than 2 weeks to my daughter's wedding. I went to my dress fitting last week and nope it still didn't zip all the way up. The seamstress will be letting out a couple of the seams and have another appt. this Wednesday. Fingers crossed that she let out enough.
My daughter doesn't seem stressed about the wedding so I take that as my cue to not be stressed out about it either. Her fiance has been stationed in Turkey since last August and will be in country on Weds. She is so excited to see him. His parents arrive from Florida tomorrow. A week and a half before the wedding? Yep and not sure why. I just hope they give the kids their time alone together. We'll see.
I'm just excited to have all my kids, their significant others and grand babies all here. It's been more than a year since all of my kids were together and I can't wait. I have one more week of work and then off for 2 weeks. Super excited for that as well. Need to focus on getting the house clean and some yard work before the wedding. I guess that takes care of my plans for this upcoming weekend.
Work has been kind of slow which helps me stay in check on my WOE. I had interviews last week. Hiring a new person for one of my job openings. It went pretty smoothly. We had such a great pool of candidates that I wish I could have hired 2 people. It was interesting because out of the 6 I phone screened 3 of them had people reach out to me from inside the company to give me input on the person they knew. I have never had that happen before. Also interesting was that I didn't offer the job to any of those 3. They were all good but I had specific needs and only 1 candidate filled the specific need. We did send one of their resumes on to another manager who is hiring. For 2 of them we are sending info about other job openings within the company and trying to find a mentor for one of the candidates.
There was one candidate who just graduated in Dec. She put herself through school and it appeared was trying to do everything by herself. Unsure of how to break into the industry her degree was in. I think this was her first interview in the field. It was one of those times you think, " I need to help her.' I talked with some colleagues and we are working on how to provide mentoring and guidance so she doesn't feel like she has to do it on her own. Hopefully something will pan out.
And last but not least, my diet/WOE is plugging along. I still have a hard time getting enough fat. I am so picky that the foods with the high fat content are ones I don't like. Not a fan of avocados and I really do not like coconut. I like the smell in lotions but not in my food. I can taste it even if someone says, ' you can't even taste the coconut.' They would be wrong because I would be able to taste it. Remember back in the '80's when sprouts were a big thing? Every deli was adding them on sandwiches. I do not like sprouts (taste like dirt). Well, even if only 1 sprout made it on my sandwich I could taste it. Coconut is the same for me. Short story long, I need to keep working on this part of my diet. I'm also a boring dieter. I do a lot of repeats because I know I like it and it does not require a lot of energy.
Enough for today. Need to get back to work.
