As they are leaving, the youngest moves back home. Indefinitely. Or until he gets a job, saves some money and is ready to be launched. Yep, forever.
Where did my safe, quiet little life go?
I'm back to my regularly scheduled eating and it feels good. The break was lousy, but it appears to be over for now. Thank goodness. That was a battle. The war rages on .... *dramatic pause*
During my fall-off-the-wagon eating phase this week, I ate gluten and was promptly rewarded by a big old cold sore. Yep - I simply refuse to learn! It's big, but a quick healer at least.
Since I was stuck at home this weekend, I tried a Netflix series "A Person of Interest." Lots of recommendations from Instagram peeps. I watched 3 episodes - sort of, while I did other things - over acted, too outrageous, not my cup of tea. It tries, but missed the mark for me.
I'm still reading the book about the 100 year old man (too lazy to look up the title right now) - fiction, Forrest Gump type story. I like it when I read it, but it's not making me WANT to read. Does that make sense? I have a bunch of other "samples" I sent to my kindle, but I need to finish this first.
My Stitch Fix came for pictures. Did I mention we switched to our usual photographer for these pictures? The other lady "forgot" to mention the additional charges of $500-$1000 for the actual pictures. I kid you not!!! Good lord.
Anyway, I need to open the Stitch Fix and try things on. That's the number one rule - TRY IT ON! My very favorite skirt was my least favorite from looking at it. My friend who recommended Stitch Fix told me THE RULE and she's spot on right!! I cheated and looked at the options online and nothing is wowing me from the pictures - hope I'm wrong. Stay tuned ...
It's time for nails! I need to figure out a day for a pedicure (this week) and a manicure (probably next week). I like the SNS so much, I hate to stop it, but I had planned a break for a couple of weeks. Still on the fence if it needs a break. Pictures in a couple of weeks, after all.
Jack's trial adoption was a bust. I drove 1.5 hours to have her meet me in the driveway to say she changed her mind. There are some days I really can't stand people. We can't get this little guy adopted to save our soul. He's a sweetheart - I don't get it.
My workouts have been good, but no boxing last week. Back to it tomorrow (hopefully). Today is a rest day because ME + 5 dogs.
I have lots of house stuff to get finished today. It's a bust of a day, so at least I can get stuff off my list. I'm planning some good ME time this week. I need it!!
Some motivational news this weekend though. I've mentioned before, hubby loves to take pictures of me and send them to me. I wasn't unhappy with the picture - first time in a long time. That same day, youngest asked me to send him some pictures from our Paris trip. I see the difference - finally - and just in time for my week of struggles LOL. It prompted me to get my butt in gear again. I want to continue moving forward. (For some reason all the Paris pictures are off my computer - lord help me and technology - still on my phone, but not showing up on the computer - so no BEFORE picture.)
