Good Morning.
Day 23. Weight at 203.2, up from yesterday's new "low" of 202.4. This is why I am not holding my breath about being 199.8 by Thanksgiving Day!!! Didn't really do a darn thing different yesterday in regards to food ... except ... I had a few more carbs from some very tasty Butternut Squash. Hmmm ... maybe Anne is right about it after all!!!
Another 12 hour shift, plowing the roads overnight, for my hubby. I was up doing dishes this morning when he arrived home. He is one tuckered man. He tells me what he hates about nights is he feels like he is missing me all the time. Sweet. After 24 years together he can still miss me? Very sweet.
Yes. More snow. It seems to be coming regularly. I'm sure all the skiers and snow-boarders are delighted. I bet the local ski resort will be opening this weekend or next. I used to ski but it has been many, many, many years since I've been. I have cross country skis I can use here at home on the property. Every winter I promise myself I'll use them and I haven't for several years. Maybe this year? It is great exercise but I am a total dork at it!!!
I spent ALL DAY working on one report. UGH. And I still didn't finish it!!! It took forever to review the files. The children have been in the program since birth and their 3rd birthday is right around the corner. Their files are very thick. It is a tough one emotionally for me too. I have worked with the mom, on and off for 5 years or so, since the birth of her first child. I've grown quite fond of her and yet she doesn't appear to be able to hold it together consistently to care for her kids. Sad. And of course her kids ... well they have found their way into my heart as well. I hope I can finish it this morning.
So the fire is burning. My first cup of coffee has been consumed (with coconut oil!!). Time for breakfast, shower, and meandering down the hill. Hubby tells me the deer are EVERYWHERE so I have to be careful driving. Apparently is has snowed so much it has driven the deer towards the roads ... I really don't want an up close and personal encounter with a deer this morning.
Grateful I am ...
1. For being able to work from home yesterday.
2. For a long chat with my dearest friend about the upcoming changes in her career.
3. For a neighbor we can pay to plow our road and driveway since my hubby is far too tuckered to do it for us after plowing roads all night long!!
4. For riding the waves of fluctuations with a little more grace lately ...
5. It is FRIDAY!!!! Yippeeee!!!! Yahooooo!!!! YAY!!!!
And of course ... I'll continue to practice kindness towards myself. Some days it is a full time job in itself!! LOL!!! Be good to yourselves. Take time to consider what is wonderful about your life. Join me in working towards being patient with ourselves and remaining mindful.
Take care!!

I am bouncing around the scale with you LOL. I only take the lows seriously now, am used to the way my weight bounces around before hitting a new low.
That is so cute that your hubby still misses you!
Take care and be safe in the snow!

He is sweet isn't he? You can't believe the snow here ... looks like the middle of winter!!! Came home early to avoid driving in swirling snow in the dark. So happy to be here ... warm and hunkered down for the evening!!

My goodness you are having so much snow already! I do feel for you hubby as it must be just tiring and lonely out there plowing all night long!
Your job sounds so rewarding and how lucky these people are to have such a warm, compassionate person taking care of them and their files.
I am taking you last few sentences to heart. Being a care giver most of my life, it is hard to refocus on what is wonderful in my life even though I really do appreciate the little things.

Glad you got home safe. I had no time to check up on you this morning! Its wonderful to hear you care so much for 'your kids'. I am sure there is a lot of heartache in what you do as well as a lot of joy. Its also lovely that your husband misses you! We all know you are missing him! Have a wonderful week-end hun.
