Making me wonder if good old Mother Nature is going through a touch of PMS.
But it is a pretty good summation of my life as well these days. Lots of sun and rain often at the same time.
I am still unemployed. But have been keeping busy with many pleasant projects.
I saw my doctor last week who looked at me with shades of dismay that prompted me to go to a WW meeting right after. I did let my weight run away with me and now I have to rein it back in. I also have to go for a blood test tomorrow to measure some levels because of a med I take as well as the standard cholesterol, etc. levels. Sigh. I get soooo squicked at the sight of blood and needles. And then after that bit of rain I have to go to my 2nd WW meeting where I am sure I will have lost a pound or two. I have been good. Have not really eaten anything not on the approved lists all week. But dear Lord was i not tempted the other day. It was hot and I was cruising past a BR ice cream shop and desperately wanted their large chocolate shake. Which clocks in in the neihgborhood of 900 calories. *gasp* I walked home and had a glass of Diet Pepsi instead. While I felt good about passing up pure pleasure I was annoyed because I couldn’t have that pure pleasure. Yeah, yeah, I know you are supposed to be able to work anything you want into the diet. But I also know all hell would have broken loose and I would have chomped and tore my way through numerous other things since “I blew it already for the day.” It is this kind of thing I need to work on. A dear old friend of mine from my college days has taken the bull by the horns and even drifted into the land of soy milk and tofu and has done really well losing about 7 dress sizes. But I have to make it work with everyday food because to me tofu is like chewing on an eraser. I don’t NEED to get used to it so I won’t. Pass me some grilled chicken, thanks.
The boy friend and I are clicking along pretty well at the moment. He called earlier and was extremely enthusiastic about our upcoming date on Wednesday. He blew even more kisses down the phone than he ever has before when we were hanging up. Guess since he has not seen me since last week he has the good sense and taste to miss me. The relationship is not really going anywhere at the moment. Which is okay for the moment. And I am not expecting anything to change on Wednesday. But he was all excited about something. My guess is he found the menu he was looking for last week and we can try a new bbq place. God love him, it really takes very little to make him happy. Some yummy food, plenty of sex, interesting conversation and not having to sit through “Idol” and he is good to go.
Despite being unemployed I got a promotion last week. The original owner/moderator of a group I belong to has decided he needs a hand with our group as he runs like 63 others. (I cannot imagine.) So he asked me if I would step up since I am a regular participant and he thinks I know quite a bit about baseball. I don’t think I know that much but it is one of my grand passions so I said yep and now have a shiny crown by my name on the members list. I was tickled. Proving it takes very little to make me happy either.
I have been growing agitated over the state of my baseball team. We have been on a Manager Death Watch for weeks now. My thinking is that if getting paid several million dollars a year to play a child’s game is not enough to motivate you to play your hardest and win games, I don’t know what a manager can do. He is a good manager and has been a solid member of the New York baseball community for forever. We shall see. But it is getting wearing.
Speaking of wearing, time is wearing on and I have things I need to do. Bills to pay, dishes to wash and trash to take out. I do indeed live the most glamourous life, don’t I?
