Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Wednesday, why you gotta act like Monday for -t? Get it together. You should be helping us slide into the weekend, and not giving us heartburn.

Matt, I'm jealous of the walk and the pie.

I made the BF take all of the leftover candy to work. I don't miss it if it's not in the house, but I will snack incessantly on it if it's here. So I did my part to support my local EMTs by enabling a sugar rush.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would try eating bright yellow, it sounds like it might be effective! I don't know where I'd get some, though.

I had to look up Take 5 - it has pretzels? That sounds amazing. Huh, it's pretty recent, I didn't realize we were still getting new candy bars from Hershey's this century. I mean, of course we are, they aren't going to stop developing new products, but it still somehow surprises me.

That sounds like an excellent use of candy, Maria!

I am drinking coffee with chicory this morning, and wishing I was back in New Orleans with my people.

It snowed on me in the parking lot. Winter is here.

It should be. He's on a 16-hour shift today. The medic is on a 12-hour. And if there's any left, two different folks will be on that same schedule tomorrow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I ate a ridiculous lunch of all the fried things Monday, and it propelled me back to counting calories. I am down 4 lbs on the year (down 7 since spring when I had gained) and I want to keep on that track. If I get down 15 lbs from where I am now I think I will schedule a consultation about a reduction. It will depend if a 15 lb loss does anything to reduce them.

Yesterday I did well. On track today to do well. Increasing water intake seems to really help.

In Mac news, 2 days of being decent mood wise and mostly compliant, that's it. Last night back to doing no chores, not getting off computer when asked, up past bedtime. Didn't get himself up this morning, no talking to me on way to school.

I've contacted therapist, we are setting up appt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Can I say "ugh"? I just want to say "ugh."

Ugh.

There, I feel better now.

msbelle, I'm so sorry he's being difficult. You are a fabulous mom--the pinkest even--and I wish that things end up on an even keel sooner rather than later.

Woo hoo, reduction!
