Today will be great - that is my new outlook anyways. After a week of bad days it has to go up from here right? Well yesterday I felt like self rising cat poo. My head hurt, I felt sick to my stomach, just all around awful. So at 2:00 I go home early because I feel bad. I went home and took a 2 1/2 hour nap which was wonderful and I woke up feeling better. So it's Monday - Ladies night at the casino and you get $10 free to play with. I felt better so I decided to go - low and behold, who do I run into but none other than my boss. When it rains it pours right? So we'll see how long I have a job today. My dad has cirrhosis of the liver. He wasn't going to tell us what was wrong with him but my step mom got it out of him. It's in the early stages so if he changes his life he might live awhile. He has to quit drinking and the dr gave him medicine for that. I don't think he wanted to tell us because he is ashamed because he did it to himself. I am really relieved it's not cancer. He didn't buy beer last night and he shocked me to death by going with us to the casino - he usually doesn't leave home after 6pm because it interferes with his drinking. I know I am not drinking for awhile. I have felt awful for the last 2 days and I really think the alcohol did it. Yesterday I didn't eat very well. Yes it was low carb but I didnt get enough veggies in. I had a can of vienna sausages, and cheese for lunch then for dinner I had a can of tuna with pickles & mayo and that's it. I just felt so yucky and I didnt want to go out for lunch at work so I made due with what was in my desk and the fridge at work. Oh! I found something really fun! Go to www.cosmopolitan.com and click on hair - celb makeovers or something like that. You upload a picture of yourself and then you can pick different celebrities hair do's to try on. It is super fun and hillareous! I was actually quite a hottie! You can even put on makeup etc. Some of the pics had me rolling in the floor. You have to try this.

I am so sorry to hear about your dad! Thanks goodness they caught it early and are able to treat it. I will be praying for him and for all of you. As for running into the boss, that is why anytime I ever called in sick, even if I started feeling better, I went NO WHERE! I was always too scared that someone would see me and I would look like I was lying! So I know what you mean. Maybe explain what happened, you took a nap, and felt better, that it may well be related to all the stress you have been under for the last week. I saw that pic of you on FB. You were quite a hottie!! lol

LOL! I know right? I think when I am down I will go to that website and give myself virtual makeovers. :D Oh and I am not trying to be concieted or anything but I love what I am seeing in the mirror now. Yes, I am still overweight, but I am beginning to look good. I can see my face slimming and alot of days I feel very pretty. It is so nice what losing weight can do for your self esteem & confidence.

Amanda, I am so sorry to hear about your father. I will pray for him and him being able to stop the drinking. If it's early enough and he quits, he will have a much better outlook. Hang in there honey. As far as the boss, just be honest. Let her know you felt better after the nap and that you felt the need to spend time w/ your father. That has always been my fear. One Valentines day, DH and I called out from work stating my parents needed help w/ a fallen tree above their bedroom (it stormed bad that night). Before heading out for the day we ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel. As rare as this is, a bunch of COLs, commanders, and big wigs were having an eating meeting. Where? Yup - Cracker Barrel. My boss's boss called asking where I was that day. He told the boss what happened at my parents. He was then asked why I was eating there. Wasn't very good. My boss laughed about it, but asked that the next time I play hookie, that I don't eat where the big bosses are.

Amanda, I, too, am beginning to like what I see in the mirror more and more. There is still a lot of work to do, but for the most part, it is improving and all my hard work is really beginning to pay off!! Now to get rid of these last 70 pounds!! I am almost to the halfway point! w00t!! Keli, that is the kind of thing I am talking about! It never fails, does it??
