Clear and sunny here for a change

Supposed to be 60 here tomorrow. I think I still live in Central New York. :)

Well I sent my son off to school, but just got a call from the district that there's going to be an early release because of the coming snow. He will be happy.

Yay for sunny London, Sao!

Too cloudy here for planet watching or space station sightings, although I love getting those alerts from nasa!

Off to work. Happy Tuesday y'all! :)

Hi Della! :)

Hi Della!

Hi everyone :)

Great to see you Della!!!!

Good morning all. Sorry if I said that already.

Good morning eveyone!
Hi Della!
Today is going to be a great day. Yesterday was so rotten, I don't want a repeat. So I started today with a gratitude list and am working on keeping positive.
I am grateful that I didn't drink last night.
Gonna bundle up and go for a dog walk. I think I'll take my camera.
See you all later.

Hi Della! Good to see you.

At work. Fun stuff. Got the kids off to school. I've heard snow and rain here. No 8 to 10 inches. Sounds like a good day for soup, MLD.

Behan, that's great that junior slept all night. How awesome! Then you get scared that something is wrong because the baby is sleeping. Enjoy!

Brain that must have been so cool to see. No viewing here because of the clouds. Hopefully it clears up at some point.

Nothing earth shattering here.

I could eat soup every day off my life!

taking 5 to catch my breath...
decided to wash the wifemobile... took it to the local car wash, did a cursory cleaning to get most of the mung off it - didn't rinse it tho...
supposed to get an inch of rain tomorrow... it can rinse in the driveway...

cleared packed snow from front of house - if water backs up it will seep into basement... my yews were flattened... I dug out the rhododendron/mountain laurel as it too was to the ground... but my task was to clear a way for water to 'drain' away from the house, plants will bounce back, don't need water in basement at any rate... it's on my to do list this spring to come up with an inexpensive plan to keep water out... giving it a place to go besides 'in' is the first part... we'll see after the deluge tomorrow... flood warnings abound around here. heavy rain combined with melting snow, should be fun

Hello Della!

Me too, I cry very easily Brynn xoxo
I hope you feel better.
Ignore that idiot at work, xoxo
You did awesome though, and drinking really never does help, it just makes things worse with its depressant characteristics.

^^This - when it comes to crying, I cry out of frustration and anger at work too. Doesn't happen often, but it happens. In hindsight I think it would be better to learn to tell those people to back off, but I always get tharn when it happens. (do we use "tharn" here? Can't remember. Urban Dictionary: tharn)



With food - I have to not have that stuff in my food choices. I've been logging food again for a month now and I'm just now getting comfortable at the lower number - my body fights me for a couple weeks and I have to really fight through the myriad desires. It's just like alcohol. Mmm mojito. Mmm cheeseburger. If I eat a cheeseburger, that's 600 calories if I make it at home - 800 with a potato. A pizza is 1200. That pumpkin pie put me back 1500 - which is a whole week's worth of deficit. I can't eat a reasonable amount of ice cream if I have it at home. Is it worth it to me? It is in the early days, but as time goes on and I've been on low cal for a while, I have to make better choices with lots of vegetables and fiber or I spend a good part of the day too hungry. I'm pretty comfortable now and feel like I can do this, but by Friday I'll have visions of sugarplums.

Bees. Mmmm. I spent hours yesterday online reading about bees and beekeeping. So complicated. Must find local people to hook up with.

I wouldn't know the planets if they had labels on them. Not that it matters/Seattle.

Me too Bim- Yesterday I was on my way to starbucks to buy a macchiatto and some kind of treat.
In total my little trip would cost me over a thousand calories, so I came home and has herbal tea with a small cookie.
I worked out yesterday, at well- the starbucks would've been the same as buying a bottle of wine.

Of course I'll have starbucks and other delights, but I'm actively trying to grt into shape right now.
Its about learning to tell myself no and set boundaries with myself- I'm not very good at that.

Brynn and HAF- I hope today is better xo
Good call not drinking xo- it wouldn't have helped ( words from a serial relapser: it never is fun, helpful or good at all)

Enjoy the sun sao! Don't melt!!!!!

Hello Della! What's new! So glad to see you xo
