Work sucks

I think I have hit stress overhload.  I have worked OT almost every day for the last two weeks.  Today I was on my way to the gym for the first time in a week and my supervisor called me and asked me to come into the office.  I told her no.  My work computer was at my house, I had an appointment with the trainer and I wasn't going to cancel again, especially not 15 minutes before my appointment.  I did end up working from home and will go in early tomorrow but I got in a workout.  It wasn't stellar because I am beat but it was better than sitting on my fat ass at the office.  I really hoped things would die down a little since yesterday was the start of our new FY but since the other lead in my division retired Friday it doesn't look like it is going to.  It probably wouldn't be so bad if I not only had to start taking over her duties, take on a huge project, and close out the FY; I also had to plan and pretty much pay for the other leads retirement party.  She is a good friend so I didn't mind making sure her last day was amazing but holy cow, a little help here!!

I am not sure if I have mentioned on here but I plan on going to London for the 2012 Olympics.  My cousin is going to school there and she lives about 2 miles from the Olympic stadium.  Tickets, it seems, are impossible to come by at this late date (a year out) so I have been watching the web like a hawk for any possible tickets.  Last night I saw that there is an Olympic run March 31 a 5 mile run through the stadium and crossing the official finish line.  That almost sounds like as much fun as the actual games to me, and plane tickets are $500 cheaper.  Of course you have to sign up for a lottery to get to run and you need a UK address.  I signed up using my cousins address.  I doubt if I get drawn but if I do I have to figure out a way to be able to do that run!!  If I go for the run or the games I am really excited about going to London.

Food has been ok.  I have noticed that now that I have restriction I am paying less attention to the quality of food that I am eating.  I rationalize it by telling myself I am not eating that much anyway.  I really need to do better but it is a learning process and I am glad I am noticing the patterns at any rate. 

Fill tomorrow, curious to see what the official weight is going to be.  Also curious to see how much he is going to give me.

Wednesday I am only working half a day since I have to get ready for my fake wedding.  My stylist is going to do my hair and make-up because the pictures are real.  I can't imagine having to do this for real, I would kill people, lol.

Hope everyone has a good week.
