Fabulous!! It is Friday!!

Oh I finally went back and added my pistachios to my food journal for Wednesday. I meant to last night but had to shut down the computer. Believe it or not, even after eating an entire package of those delicious shelled pistachios I had a "deficit" for calories!! Not that I would want to do that all the time. I just thought it was cool that even though I exceeded my RDI that I was still in the "green" so to speak.

Yesterday was insane. I saw three families with parents who have special challenges ... exhausting. One was in crisis. Fortunately they ended the session with a family hug ... I hope things stay calm for a few days. Can't share details. Confidentiality you know. I drove out to the boonies to screen a new referral up an old, in ill repair, snow and ice covered logging road only to discover they weren't home. The family called later and the reason they weren't home was because they couldn't get up their own road!! Thank goodness I didn't get stuck out there!!

Due to the no show I had a little break between appointments in the afternoon and stopped by Coldwater Creek to use the bathroom and of course had to check out what was on clearance!! I found a really fun blouse for $13, a very nice black blazer for $18, and two sweaters!!! Not in the budget at all but it was the best part of my day!!

The up fluct from the pistachios was gone this morning. Good. I think I might have to go to nuts anonymous!!! Sounds like I would have lots of company there!!

Today is a joint session with a speech therapist for a speech/language evaluation for a 2 year old and then a joint session with the same family with their Early Head Start home visitor. The poor family saw me yesterday too ... they are going to be SICK of me!!!

Then I think I'll pick up a few things at the market (no nuts!!!) and head home. It has been a very busy week. I think I have too many hours. Don't know. Haven't had time to add them up!!

I am grateful.

1. It is FRIDAY!!!
2. 27 days to Mexico!!!
3. It is FRIDAY!!!
4. 27 days to Mexico!!!

LOL!!! Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Time to walk to the dog, finish up making my food for the day, dry the hair, finish the face, and cruise on down the road to the office. Need to be at my first visit by 9 am.

Do have a fabulous Friday. Do practice kindness towards yourself today. Do remember that this is a journey ... a process ... with many twists and turns and find a way to enjoy the journey. The joy, I am told, is in the journey not the destination!!

Take care buddies!!
