Ack! Monday!!

Well, here it is -- Monday morning.  Up with the rising sun at 5am, I walked my Sadie and we puttered in the back yard.  We rested, walked again and then took a nap. 

Such a messed up schedule for me:  tomorrow is Inventory Day at work (and yes, it sucks!) there is much preparation and things to get done that today is the one 24hour block of time where I feel as if I never leave work at all.   My shift is 2-11pm, then I have to be back in at 5am tomorrow morning to be ready for the auditors, who start at 630.  Thankfully, when they are done with my portion, I can leave, head for home, and bed.  You can be sure I'll be having a long nap again tomorrow!!!! heheheheh

I don't have any more personal trainer sessions, and for this week at least, its good that I don't have an official Weigh In Weds.  *sigh*  With crazy work hours, and lots of stress, it isn't easy to keep eating the right foods, or to stay away from the wrong foods.  I'll just chalk it up to a really bad week of choices, and move on from there.  I'm ready for Weds to come along, ready to get back into my normal routine of exercises at the gym.

The next two weeks will also be busy ones for me as well.  My hairdresser appointment is on Saturday, the weekend after that I'm driving Sadie to my daughter's house; she'll watch her while I take a much needed trip the following weekend to my parents' house.  Busy, Busy, Busy!  I can't wait for July -- nothing whatsoever scheduled in among all that!!!   Just a few long weekends for me.  But I have to wonder why all the excitement?  July is usually the hottest and/or wettest month around in the Valley of the Sun!

We shall see......... more soon!

Rumbly and Grumbly

Today, I spent part of my day looking through old photos.  I was hunting for pix of my dad, in order to create a Father's Day slide show, and found lots of good ones.  Getting it to an organized state hasn't been easy --- chronological?  topical??  ugh the choices!  But I have some time to get it done......

My son's girlfriend brought her mom with her tonight to meet me.... that's always a fun thing.  It hasn't been that long since the two got together, I didn't think we were at 'this stage' yet.....

I decided to have popcorn as an afternoon snack; one serving equals 2.5 cups.  Tasted really good .... but doesn't sit well in my stomach - I guess I'm at an age where I can't tolerate it very well any more.  How sad is that?

I joined the 21st century with a new android phone last weekend - and now pay $30 a month for a data plan.  Do I really need this???  I like the new tech stuff, but have a few beefs about it.  For a smart phone, its not so smart.  I can't turn off the email notifications beeps without turning off the
txt message beeps.  How dumb is that?  So now I'm woken up in the middle of the night every time I get a new email.......  these phones should be smarter!  There should be an app for setting up a phone to be silent between "x and x" hours.   Someone invent one and give the credit to me!   But my biggest beef with it is I mainly txt with just one person, and its thru SMS txting, not real texting (that's a whole 'nother subject for another time.... (*sigh* )  and  now the SMS hasn't been working, so frankly, I'm paying for something I surely don't need.  I think I need to go back to my old phone, my old plan and forget the text stuff, the data stuff.  Checking email and playing backgammon at $30/month is extravagant IMO.

I'm ranting a bit tonight, feeling disgruntled and dejected.  I spent some time with some chat fellows, and ugh.  Wasn't worth the time.   Maybe that's a sign that I need to go to bed.  G'nite all!
