I totally get this.

Confession #2: I don't drink enough. Of anything. Most of what I drink is plain water but regardless of what I drink- I don't drink nearly enough every day.
I feel your pain... I have such a hard time eating protein, it all tastes nasty to me! I've also started trying mio to get me to drink more water...0 -
It's Momday. It's not even 7am and I am already losing my cool with my manager.
ETA: her boss (my director) had the info I needed and now I have my cool back, but I'm aggravated that she did not tell either of us that there was a problem. We can't solve them unless we know about them. I will likely be on the phone with Medicare for an hour today, but I know what I need to do now.2 -

I know I was very annoyed at work last week (main reason I think I got up at 1 in the morning two nights last week).
I actually dreamed that someone gave me a box at the Service Desk & it had a grenade in it. I looked up the meaning of grenade in a dream & it said about almost being ready to explode. That's definitely how I felt!2 -
I know you will not believe I am saying this...
I have put too much blue cheese on my salad today.3 -
I have very boring cheese tastes. I think it comes from childhood trauma! My mum's home town is quite close to the village of Roquefort so whenever we'd visit la famille we'd always bring some proper, smelly, French cheese home. In the car. In the summer. With no Aircon. It takes ten hours to drive from my gran's house to Calais and then there's the ferry crossing and getting home in the UK! And my mother wonders why I don't like anything more adventurous than edam!2

Poor Anne-Marie. That sounds awful!!!1 -

Mmmmmm Roquefort!!!! That is so expensive over here!!!0 -
Update: people at my work really need to start talking to one another. Susan (from the old rival we merged with) was supposed to be at my office for a meeting today. Instead her old bosses told her she was moving to our building today. We thought that was next week. We kept her, of course and I never got to call Medicare, but spent the day helping her move in and showing her around instead.
I must call Medicare tomorrow, no matter what she needs.0 -
Confession: Hubby has also been losing weight and basically half-*kitten* IF, creates most of his deficit through exercise, and basically wings it. Things have slowed so he wants to get in on my meal prep action to create some diet consistency and more predictable weight loss. Fine by me, so I just doubled-ish what I make for myself this week, but made sure it was more food he likes than just stuff I like. So two days in a row he totally left his lunch at home and I'm super grumpy because it took me a lot longer to do meal prep this week and he's basically wasting my hard work. *sigh* He can make his own damn lunch.2

Also just called to tell him how awesome the quinoa salad I made is, so now we can both be grumpy.
Also I have a new job which is really interfering with my *kitten* around time on the Internet. Very grumpy about that.5 -
Grumpy seems to be going around today.
Plate in the Bathroom Girl was in there washing a knife a few minutes ago. I bit my tongue to keep from telling her how gross I find that. I was actually mad at an insurance rep and I didn't want to take out on her.0 -
LOL... I am an insurance agent - feel free to project any bad juju onto me. I am used to it!
The agent in the next office had chic-fil- a for lunch. It smells SOOO GOOD! I am thinking about knocking her out and taking her stupid waffle fries!!!1 -

can you send an anonymous note? Type written and slipped into her top desk drawer?
"We know you eat in the bathroom... We are watching you.... MUAHAHAHAHA"2 -

No, not your kind of rep. The kind who refuses to honor a prior authorization from the outside vendor that you make us use for Chemotherapy drugs. They authorized the drug for six months and insurance X only paid one date. Umm, no, I am looking at their site at what was emailed to you and to us. I ended up calling the pre Auth people to get them to argue for me. I was on the verge of throwing my coffee mug.1 -

I don't think so.. She has an office, not a cubicle. Someone would see me going in. The next time she leaves the plate in the bathroom, I may put a post it on it: "This is gross. The break room is at the end of the hall. The room with all of the windows and dish detergent by the sink."2 -

LOL!
I wonder why she feels the need to clean the utensils in the bathroom too? Isn't there a community break room with a sink?
Just read that Mel addressed this.0 -

Actually there are three community break rooms on my floor. She is simply not willing to walk that far for the sake of hygiene.0 -
I skip exercise for any reason I can think of. I have fibromyalgia and am in such pain, although I know exercise is important.5

I am a hot mess. Throw darts at me and you will hit both literal and figurative scar tissue.
My dad didn't believe in things like hospitals and physical therapy for injuries, so by the time I got actual medical help I was:
(1) an adult,
(2) obese, on the edge of morbidly obese,
(3) malnourished (somehow),
(3) infertile,
(4) suicidally and perpetually depressed, and
(5) half-crippled from a triple-twist (plus neck hump, plus neck vertebrae aligned *backwards*, somehow) in my spinal column.
Fortunately, my mom recognized #4 for the ticking time bomb it was and got me a therapist as a teenager. But it was the last one that did me in. Otherwise I might have just kept going like I was going. I have no idea where I'd be now if that happened.
By the time I realized there was something terrible wrong with my spine, I'd already lost 2/3 of the weight I needed to lose by sheer effort of will and exercising until near-unconsciousness. (Don't do that, by the way. The therapist and I have had words over this and what does and doesn't constitute anorexia.) And by "realized there was something wrong with my spine," I mean, "in so much pain at 25 that I could only take distances 10 steps at a time before sitting down."
It's been four years since then. I've lost a lot of weight and I'm not obese anymore, or malnourished (turns out my childhood diet of meat, cheese and little else wasn't good for me--who knew?), or even infertile--I got into a good OBGYN and an orthopedist who messes with my hips now and then. When I was nine, my abdomen (stomach, uterus, cervix, ovaries) was one long interconnected line of scar tissue. (It hurt. All the time. Also, it bled out a lot.) My stomach got better once I started eating better; the scarring's getting better with hormones and exercises (and other, nastier treatments, but hey...results). The hump came out of my neck last week, and my neck's going the right way again, so I only have---er---three other curves to tackle. *sigh* I walk, but I can't run. I can do karate twice a week, though, so it's getting better. It just feels so damn slow.
I sometimes daydream about having parents who'd actually take their child with broken bones to the hospital and physical therapy and whatnot, but that was not my life. (I didn't realize it at the time, but mom was as bad off as I was--she broke her neck(!) and my dad didn't even take her in.) I'm glad I don't talk to my dad or his family anymore.
I have an incredibly long way to go. Days like today feel like a death march. But hey, here's me. Marching.

Good for you, getting the help you need, no matter how late. I just hope most of it is reverisble! No matter how slow it is going, at least it is going. Glad you are here.3
