1. I ran on the TM again last night!! I am so freaking slow, 14 minute miles but I think I would be faster on the road. Treadmills kind of freak me out.
2. I brought my running shoes to work. I am going to take a break about 2:30 and go to the TM and walk for 20 minutes per the Galloway app I am using.
3. Work is crazy. I have been working about 16 hours OT each week to try to cover for my Monday furlough days. I filed an appeal but I am equally afraid they won't approve it and I will lose $1,000 a month pay or that I will get approved and won't be able to spend my days off at the pool.
4. I had the most mindblowing discussion with my mother yesterday. It started when I was telling her about a friend of mine from high school and college who passed away Monday. He is my age and had a stroke during emergency surgery. We started talking about my uncle (my mom's brother) who had a massive stroke almost 20 years ago. First of all I can't believe he has been gone 20 years; second, he was my older sister age!! She told me that she was my age when they bought the house they are in now. Even at 40 it is hard to fathom your parents ever being your age. I remember moving into that house like it was yesterday. MIND BLOWN
5. I found out today that there is going to be a huge concert to benefit the tornado victims. So far the lineup is Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwook, and Willie Nelson. I am not a big country music fan, but I love Garth. Even though we are neighbors (yeah right) and you see him around town, he doesn't do concerts except for the limited engagements in Vegas. Tickets are only $25 each and we are working on our strategy. The last concert sold out in 5 minutes.
6. It's hot. I am not a fan of summer. I wish I could run outside after work but alas it is not in the cards.
7. Weight this morning was 120. I will take that. I really want to be 112 again but with the small amount of fill I have I am not going to complain.
8. My ring is finally fitting again. I think it had something to do with my BC pills. The pharmacy I use was sold/merged into another pharmacy and I didn't have time to deal with it. I finally got them refilled after a couple of weeks of not having them and the swelling in my fingers I had first thing in the morning went away.
9. I called my doctor and asked if she could give me something for anxiety. She called in something for me and I will pick it up on my way home. There are a lot of things going on at once and I am just overwhelemed. I still cry everytime I come home and my Dex isn't there to great me. Maybe this will help me not break down in tears everytime I see a black dog. I know it is more than that but that seems to be the big trigger.
10. I went to the new pharamcy the other day to pick up my vitamins and found several boxes of pure protein bars for under $2.50, they are almost that much if you buy one!!! I bought all the chocolate pb they had and the smores flavor. Now I am on a mission to stop at every WG I see to find out if they have more. Those are my favorite bars.

I'm not much of a country fan either but I would love that show! My ex-husband's wife reminds me of a really short Trisha Yearwood haha. But I do love me some Willie and I'll get to see him in August. Can you believe he's 80? I hope you are able to get tickets. I think I'm gonna have to search out those bars. I need a snack/meal I can take with me. I hope whatever your doc is getting you will help!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried pure protein bars; must check those out! Glad you are keeping up with the indoor running, since you don't want to run outdoors and risk heat stroke.
ReplyDeleteI am constantly having my mind blown when I think of my parents being 81 and 76, and me being 51. Scary stuff!
Good luck with the furlough appeal!
I'm not fan of the humidity we have here in Tn, but I do love the summer :) I heard that they think by the time we go back to school they may not furlough the teachers. Although I wasn't looking forward to the lower paychecks I was looking forward to all those 4 day weekends :)
ReplyDeleteYay on finding the protein bars at that price! Makes you feel like you're stealing, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteGarth does charity concerts like this. Nashville got hit with terrible flooding about 3 yrs ago and he did several concerts to raise money for relief. Overall a pretty decent guy.
