Gosh I cannot believe I have not journaled in so long. I feel like work is burying me alive. I keep trying to claw my way out from under the massiveness of it and I am not making much headway.

I KNOW that I have to make time for myself, but I know that my job is also needed..lol. So I work. I work way longer than I am supposed to and honestly way longer than I would if I was not working from home.

I have got to put a stop to it and set some healthier boundaries. Yesterday, I left work on time. Drove to the post office and the store and home. In that time two calls (one from MS and one from LA). That is one problem. I work on Eastern time NOT Central time and typically I work into Central time taking these guys calls. Not yesterday. I got home though and a call from Ga office. So I answer and glad I did it was my boss. He was touching base with me and still working on hiring a person to help with all of these increased workload with the new branches that we have opened and the new things we are doing.

I go inside put my groceries away, and you guessed it, went back to work. I had some orders to enter (that my boss sent to me after regular hours).....sigh. However, I finished the orders and I did get my afternoon exercise in. I had bratwurst and cheese for dinner and a low carb chimichanga for lunch and wings for breakfast so my food was not bad...I just did not get to record it. Well I recorded it and my carbs were not bad but way too many calories. Cannot keep that up!

I am going to try to start recording again at least breakfast and lunch at the beginning of the day. I will try to get dinner in at night. I did have too much sugarfree chocolate but with TOM around the corner and this works stress...well I do feel bad about it, but not too bad. I need to try to cope.

I know that the exercise helps me and I just have to MAKE that time. I get freaking phone calls when I am in the damn bathtub!!! I started to answer it last week and say "it is after my work hours and I am taking a bath. You seem to forget that I start work at 5am in the morning".

My daughter is doing great...hanging in there. She wants an Almond Joy and Sweet Tea...lol...Said she is hungry and tired all the time. They are down to the wire. This week and next is firefighting, gas chamber and lots of tests. So I still appreciate all positive thoughts and any prayers that you want to send her way. We have our tickets for her graduation (PIR) on June 7 so looking forward to that. She writes me weekly so Wednesday is typically when the letter comes and that is my favorite day of the week currently.

Okay that is all the time that I have...gotta get back to work.

I miss all of my friends on here and I hope you are all doing well and staying on track.
