Where did this week go?

I have been crazy busy this week. Each day at work I think "Oh I will have 10 minutes to type something up." End of the day, where did the time go? I get home eat my sugar-free Jell-O and start supper. Let me tell you this dieting thing takes up a crazy amount of time. In the time it takes to measure all of the ingredients, cook it, clean up, do the dishes and get tomorrow's lunches ready two warring factions could fight the war and negotiate a peace treaty. I honestly spend 3 hours a day now in the kitchen. The time has paid off 7lbs down. Too many more to go. But that is a start. I can already tell that my clothes are fitting better. Enough about that!

A week from yesterday I go see Dr. K. I am more than excited about this. I am starting to feel like a kid in anticipation of going to the first day of school. I will be bouncing around on the 1st and ppl will think, wow she is as giddy as a school girl. I think that I have cried all the tears and am ready to move on. Although there are momentary collapses, they are less frequent. Josh has learned that there is nothing that he can do but hold me and love me. Which he is really getting good at. I have tried staying off the drugs. I know it is crazy sounding. But I have learned to tolerate the day to day pain. So I only take them when the pain is more than I can take. I can hobble around. I don't need to screw up my liver by taking all of those painkillers. I am saving that for the alcohol!! ;)

We are off to Mitch-ah-palooza this weekend in South Wayne. We are hoping for minimal rain and nice weather. The forecast is highs on 80 and 62 at night. That will be really nice sleeping weather. We have all of our camping stuff in the spare. I hope Josh's car has enough room for it all!!! Have a great weekend!!!!
