Hi @bex953172 - good to see you. And jealous of your squeezes from @maryrobinson40 - where’s mine?! Lol.
Actually I don’t think it’s safe to squeeze me. In the cold light of day these falling injuries are not so pretty. @MLHC1 - you were right!
My left knee is pretty banged up and currently the size of a snooker ball. So sore! Have a support on it and trying to keep it moving but any exercise is out of the question for now as even walking hurts.

- morning run ✅
- Vet at 10:40 ✅
- call TV repair people ✅
- gardening - mow lawn, cut back bushes, sweep back patio and front steps ❎ rain + injury = no!
- drop P to play date at 2pm ✅
- eyebrows and tanning ✅
- bed by 9:30 ❎ delayed by hot bath to soak injuries
Thursday goals:
- rest day! ✅
- Help P with homework ✅
- P to play date 9:30 ✅

PT went well yesterday. The therapist said that I way ahead of most and that I'd be getting full extension. Wasn't as grueling as everyone said. I probably did too much as we met our daughter for lunch afterwards and then I got my nail polish changed at a salon for my girls weekend. Given m energy level I'll be a couch potato this weekend but it'll be wonderful to gather with close women friends.
Since cooking, eating and drinking is a central focus of our weekends together, I'll be realistic about my goals. I plan on enjoying everything but be modest about portions and focus on whole foods and stay away from chips, bread, deserts AND that last glass of wine. I'm bringing lots of flavored sparkling water to enjoy.
JFT 5/30/19
Break even on the calories track at 1500

▪Lunch
▪Exercise (x2 DVD)

Well I'm starting the day with a bit of weight gain (0.6 lbs). I'm hoping that it is just from muscle gain. 🙃 Moving day is approaching so today will be focused on preparing for that. I'm hoping that the little one has a better day today.
@Faebert I'm sorry you are feeling the pain from yesterday's fall. Hang in there, it is important to let your body recover before hittin' it hard again. Soaking in aromatherapy salts (or even Epsom salt) will help your sore muscles. I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you. 🌻
@Bex953172 👋🤩 Try to focus on the positive. I know how tough it can be but it'll help.
Stay strong today ladies!! 😎2 -

JFT 5/30
30 minutes movement/exercise
Do not eat any more donuts! (I'm at an open house and already ate one!)
Give myself lots of space today-I'm feeling a little anxious
Meditate 5 minutes
Drink water
Get through the effing day with a smile on your face and fall apart later
That's about all I can handle today. I am flat out busy, my Dad just announced he's visiting next week and he really really stresses me out, it's my husbands birthday so we are having family over this evening to celebrate and I'm just a ball of anxiety and stress right now. Also, sitting in front of a bunch of really delicious donuts. Why I have anxiety right now I don't know. I just got back from a fun relaxing vacation only a few weeks ago and already I feel the need for another one. I think I need a day off from all responsibilities. Saturday I have plans with a friend to go see Booksmart so I am really looking forward to that. I hope everyone struggling today finds some peace and I hope thse of you out there kicking *kitten* and taking names today know how just bad *kitten* you are!4 -
OMG-I had no idea it would change my swearwords to kitten! LOL!

Today started out great (dog walked, 2 loads of laundry on the line before work), then Asst. Manager pulls her usual stunt of ripping my work, so now I have to spend the day doing a redo. Thing is, my work is the most professional in the entire dept. and no different than anyone else's, but she has a bug up her *kitten* about me and always tries to find a way to criticize me (not in a helpful way). Anyway, I will do as instructed (HUGE waste of time) and revise/reprint up to 110 summary pages. I will not let this ruin my day. On to my goals...

4) To-do's: re-reschedule HRA / schedule massage : / update budget s/s / review Frontier catalog & order? / bank for farmers market cash (vendors love that I pay with small bills) / mail belated bday card / try on new pants (keep or return?) keep / other? maybe sort laundry for R? even loaded washer with first load & soap so I could turn on as soon as I got up
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss didn't want to but thought of this list / retainers ditto / set/verify 5:40 alarm, bed & tv off 10:20 (walk dog before work R)

Oh man. Car went to mechanic yesterday and came back with bad diagnosis, transfer case failing. Had to bring it to dealership and pay them $135 to tell me what I already know, so that I can deal with nissan corporate to hope and pray they cover it under warranty that I'm juuuuuust over of course. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 months ago!!! I'm so upset. I have to rent a car since its our only vehicle. Timing is terrible with the wedding and the land purchase. I guess theres no good time for it. Waiting to hear back from the dealership still. So needless to say yesterday I stress ate - we went to the grocery store and just orderd from the grille there. Thank you all for your kind words about my dress, I'm holding on to that joy for now!

I had a very busy day yesterday with crafting and organizing things. Lauryn came out early with the kids to help, but Michaela didn't seem to be in the best of moods so it was hard to keep her occupied. I did get almost everything done just a bit to do today.
I received the email yesterday that I was expecting and I didn't get the job. He was very happy with the way I interviewed and impressed by the amount I had learned leading up to meeting him, but he wanted someone that could hit the ground running with the financial advisor background. Sarah told me that she is going to keep her eyes and ears open with their clients and if they hear of anything let me know. I am disappointed a bit, but not surprised.7
