Wow, just wow! Been a tough day, but first: We have come up with a yummy breakfast! I freeze strawberries so they last longer, so I take about 8 frozen strawberries, an Atkins shake, some MCT oil and/or coconut oil, and add a bit of sweetening. I mix in my mini ninja. Oh my gosh! Its like a yummy shake or a soft serve ice cream! So yummy and pretty low carb! Its filling!
Next, last three nights have been very little sleep. Last night was a bit better, but I've had serious cramps all night long. I get up several times a night to try to walk them off. I might be getting 2 hours sleep, but not all at once. I've upped my fluids and potassium. I'm also worried that some of my weight loss is because of dehydration. Hopefully tonight will be better. My legs are so sore now, they feel like I've been running for hours. Wonder how many calories get burned walking off cramps all night.
Then, today at work was pretty much awful. Because of the holiday, processes that usually get run over three days time had to all be run between last night and today. Last night I started the first process. Almost thought I wouldn't be able too because we had storms and I lost internet, but almost 9 pm I was able to start. This process takes 12 hours and is usually run during the day. Well since I was up anyway I could check the logs all night to make sure it was working right. I had people messaging me two hours before it was done if I had the other processes done yet. The first one was ok, took a bit of time but the second one I had never done before. The directions were completely different, nothing was automated, and I had made changes to some of the process. So many things went wrong and it took all day to fix, but now I know how to make it better. There were parts that had to be done that weren't in the instructions. Of course the other team had to work late verifying everything before sending it on to the client, and I feel bad for that, but my team lead is on vacation and tried to get them to agree to run these over three days rather than one. Oh well! God has seen me through and helped me to make it through and learn a lot. I am blessed. Tired, but blessed.
And the work I've been trying to do on cakes? Not getting as much done as I would have liked. But maybe tomorrow I will. I did have time to make homemade chicken stroganoff over steamed broccoli though. Yum! Time to go to bed and try to sleep, and tomorrow is a new day! Have a blessed night everyone!
