Densible's Journal, 28 July 2009

The fiber express blew in to town (finally) and I think my weight is back down to 142 ish. I think because I weighed myself this morning with only one contact in my good eye. The other eye is squeezed shut and swollen. Some allergic reaction-I think to ginger. I was cooking and have a terrible habit of rubbing my eyes...

Crazy (emphasis on the crazy) busy but doing okay. Hired a new person to help me with the business. Had over 200 resumes sent in response to the ad. Met with about 10 people and wanted to give all of them the job. So many good qualified people out of jobs-it makes me so angry and sad. Rented a new office space as well-moving out of the home office in 2 weeks-which means a major routine shake up. First, I will have to wear actual clothes (including knickers and bra) to work. Will have to figure out my exercise too-morning runs with the beast must continue. Poor beast-he can't come to work with me anymore either.

Studying to take first exam to get clinical license. I am spending my only day off and most evenings studying-I have to walk around or I fall asleep. Will have to start counting the calories burned.

Eating seems okay-my cals are in line even though I added high fiber bread the last few days. Scaled back on the fruit. I love summer fruit-peaches and nectarines especially. Costco has the best too-hard to resist them. I also found some amazing sugar free chocolate there. It's amazing-I can have it around and not eat it and eat it every day. I have a small piece a few times a week. "Real sugar" chocolate does not last at all 'round here. Must be the sugar I am addicted to...

Running and swimming at least three days (more like 4) a week. I love how tired I feel at the end of the day-lovely "bone" tired. Woke up screaming last night with muscle spasm in calf. Hate those Charlie Horses! Night before had a nightmare about ghosts and was woken by SU shaking me but in my dream it became a earthquake. I woke up thinking we were in an earthquake and threw myself -dragging him off the bed and fell on to the beast-no one slept after that!

Not able to spend as much time as I'd like lurking around here but am keeping up with my buddies even if I do not comment.

take care peeps
