I really haven't had a lot to say lately. Things are pretty much status quo.
My weight is still up in the mid 120's. I am not particular happy about that. I am trying to eat more mindfully. I wake up with a new resolve to eat healthy everyday, sometime it lasts an hour, sometimes it lasts all day. Every little bit helps.
Exercise has kind of been hit or miss too. I did good last week but this week has kind of been a bust. They are doing construction right under my window, removing the sidewalk so it is so noisy I go home with a headache everyday. I plan every morning to get up and run before work but that isn't happening, I love my sleep. This morning little Sidney was all nuggled up with me which makes it even harder to get up.
Yes he was laying his head on my face so he could get kisses. Love that guy.
Thankfully I have a nice long break after today!! I took Friday off and Monday will be my first furlough day so I get 5 whole days off!! After all the OT I have been working I am so looking forward to the time off, even if I'm not getting paid for one of the days. July is jam packed and I am sure it will fly by.
The royal family will be here tonight (BIL, his psycho wife and the kid) so we will be expected to be there whenever possible. A group of friends from the dorm I lived in for the college years are having a get together tonight but I'm not going. It is at a restaurant that is a huge trigger for me and there are only a few going so I will wait until next time.
Tomorrow I am going with my parents and little sister to see Lone Ranger. I have been told it isn't very good but it is 3 hours of Johnny Depp so how bad can it really be? My sister said she watched Don Juan DeMarco 100 times before she even realized there were other people in the movie, lol. I am sure we will be expected at the in-laws for dinner.
Friday I got nothing and I am pretty sure the in-laws are going to the lake or on a float trip. Either way, I am not going with them so I will have a day to kind of clean the house and take it easy.
Saturday I am going with my mom, little sister and her BFF (our cousin) to the Toby Keith Twister Relief concert in Norman. Besides Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Willie Nelson, Carrie Underwood, and Sammy Hagar are going to be playing. I am not a huge country fan but I do love Garth and have a lot of respect for Toby Keith. I am sure we will have a blast.
Sunday....probably resting up from the concert.
Monday I need to take Foster to the vet to have her eye checked, she has a funky growth on the inside of her eyelid and it is making her eye goopy. I might do this on Friday, just depends. I want to go to the water park and just hang out at the edge of the wave pool and let the water hit me and work on my "tan" with SPF 50. I need to find a waterproof case for one of my ipods. The best thing, we all got an email saying that no one from work is allowed to contact us regarding work issues on our furlough day. Therefore, I am going to do whatever I can to not think about work (or my lack of pay).
Back to work on Tuesday :(
Wednesday is our Col's going away lunch. It is $13 for a catered dinner and I wasn't going to go until I had this light bulb moment that it only cost $13 for a half day off!! So I signed up at the last minute.
Friday is the Change of Command ceremony so that will be another short work day.
Which brings us back to the three day weekend. I hope to go see Despicable Me 2 and spend Monday at the water park again.
That Friday I am taking off early to volunteer at the first Center of the Universe concert in downtown. One Republic, Mutemath, OkGo, Neon Trees, and a bunch of local bands playing all weekend. Two concerts in one month, I haven't done that since my twenties.
I decided that I wanted to get one more fill before my money situation got dire. I am going to go in July 11. I don't have much in my band right now but there are times (like yesterday) when nothing wants to sit right. I wasn't able to eat much and got the yucky not stuck or slime feeling but the too full what were you thinking feeling. I probably ate too fast but I didn't eat a lot. I am sure stress is the biggest factor in tightening up the band.
Hope everyone has a great holiday!!

holly cow- I'm wore out just reading that list of things you plan to do.
ReplyDeleteI do agree with the Johnny comment- I actually had Don Juan the other night- I couldn't really hear it but I saw it and that's all that mattered ;)
Let me know your movie review of it.
Hope you enjoy your time off- you deserve it!
