I don't know if anyone is still reading.    I wouldn't blame you.

So, here's the thing... or a few things.

First. I failed. My meet & greet was last week and I was no where close to what I wanted to be.   I hate the way I look.  I hate the way I feel.   

I've been fighting a lot of pain lately. I've had some fibro flair ups as well as arthritic pain. This weather and it's changes are beating me up.

Now why I haven't written.. I have no time.  

Long story short, a big project I work on at my job is causing MAJOR stress.   I've been putting in over time. My face has broken out due to the stress. I'm EXHAUSTED when I come home and coming home later does not help. Let's throw in that I returned to school.  

I'm forcing myself to write now. I just finished turning in my lab assignments for school as well as taking a test.  

I have 2 more days to work on the next chapter's reading, labs, and assessment quiz.   Ugh.  I'm really reconsidering my choice to take these classes.

I have not worked out in weeks because I have NO TIME.   Last weekend all I did was homework on Saturday and Sunday.  Did not enjoy the weekend at all.

I know this isn't good for my health.   Here's what my life looks like now....

4:15 AM  Wake Up
4:15-5:10  Get dressed, feed the dogs, get ready for work...and leave
5:10-600  Drive to work & get in the building.
0600-1530 Work and Overtime.    I barely get up to use the rest room since I'm so busy.
1530-1630  Leave building, go to car, travel home.

1630-1730 Dinner prep/eat/clean up

1730-1800 IF it's nice out and IF i'm not tired, walk the dogs.
1800-2030/2100  HOMEWORK.
2100-2130 Bedtime if I'm Lucky.
If I'm lucky, this gets me about 7 hours of sleep.  But let's be realistic...I've been heading to bed at 10-10:30...

Ugh.    I'm exhausted. My body hurts.  I'm stressed.   My week with my nephews was great, only because I was off work (I still had school).

I fear i'm going to make myself worse and my food intake is going to SUCK!

 I did go to the concert last week and it wasn't too bad physically. I did hurt the next morning , but I was able to enjoy it with minimal physical limitations.   And if you must know, we had a blast!

 I'm not going to promise any posting schedule at this time.   I won't know when I have a moment.

Rich & I are discussing how much this certificate will help me professionally and if it's worth it. 

Well, I have to get up and move around before I become fused to the seat.   Pray I get through my next chapter quickly enough to be able to enjoy the weekend.

Surprise midweek post

This week we have our nephews with us.  We're on vacation.  I've taken to walking the dogs so far. We just came back from Seneca Caverns.
While it was a bit difficult due to my pain,  I still was able to do it.

Not the end of the world
