    I need to find a job now.. I cannot stay in a place where I am in tears most of the day..
    Dr frustrated with me that I'm still getting things messed up and he has to back track and make sure I'm doing things right and I'm not working efficiently . I told him very hard to do when I am being pulled in 15 different directions and dont have all the knowledge of insurances..
    He basically said you need to handle this without bothering me and I dont want to keep spoon feeding you.you will never learn if I do..
    Have to keep looking and boy do I need this getaway.. I'm going to bed..

    Be positive things can only get better!

    So not the best mom moment today. I came home from work to discover my daughter had cooked lunch, but “forgot” to clean up from lunch. There was even a small boil over mess on the stove. I had a somewhat stressful day at work. I told her I was not Cinder-effing-Ella, and I really hated to come home from work and have to clean the kitchen before cooking supper. I know she got involved talking to friends, but I don’t think it is too much to ask that she helps at home over the summer. She’s almost 16.

    I know I overreacted, and I apologized for that. The heat index was well over 100 today, and I know that made me crabby. We’ve worked it out, but that was not a stellar moment.

    On the plus side, my nephew diagnosed with Asperger’s and food aversions tried my Italian meatloaf and loved it!! I was so proud of him!

    I know it's so annoying to come home to a mess, mine boys were both the same, hang in there be positive it can only get better!

    Some 'big knickers' arrived from Amazon today. :D Haven't tried them on yet. I wanted them to wear for dancing if I'm wearing my circular skirt with no leggings. :o They are like mini shorts in black.

    The plumber arrived today to put new valves in one of the radiators in the living room. Of course, the whole system had to be drained etc, but he did a good job and charged us virtually nothing. It will be great to be warmer in the winter as it was entirely out of action.
    The next thing is to get a new timer and thermostat. We had a high quote for a fancy one, but we don't need anything complicated, so I will ring the guy this afternoon and see what he says about something simpler. Hopefully cheaper. The very old one we have is almost incomprehensible, even to the plumber! Ridiculously complicated to programme. All winter we've just been pressing the override.

    Dancing tonight. :D

    Allie - if he wants an office manager he should be paying you as one. GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

    The wine DH ordered was delivered to our local post office as we were not in yesterday. We pulled the age card and emailed them to say we could not fetch it from there. >:) We had already told them we were out that day. :# My husband is very good at writing complaints. They are going to deliver it again on Friday. Yay!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    PS - the big knickers fit. :drinker:

    Have a lovely time dancing!

    Happy birthday, Sue, and many more to come... hope it's been lovely.

    Welcome to the new ones, please join in the conversation wherever you like. To the person who asked, this is a thread, which is part of the Community Forum, and it's restarted by the amazing Barbiecat each month, providing us with a clean slate, a clean set of goals, the ability to start anew. Some of us have been tagging along for years, some for months, some just a few days. You're welcome to chime in where you like, comment on what you choose. The only thing we refrain from commenting on are politics and religion, and that's more to avoid hurt feelings and departures than anything. There are folks here from the UK, Canada, US (coast-to-coast and border-to-border), France, Tasmania, and probably more. If you sign each post with a name you go by and a place, it helps us keep your story in mind when we're commenting, advising or just commiserating.

    As for me, one day to go... one-week vacation starts July 4... can't wait! No plans except to indulge in some of my favorite hobbies for a week or so.

    Bought my husband one of the LovePop cards with a 3-D house to celebrate our one-year anniversary of buying the house here in Arkansas - I'll give it to him on July 17. Can't believe it's already been a year. The days, weeks, months just fly by. I'll be 60 next year... and I remember being that over-dramatic teenager who never thought she'd survive past 18. Don't miss her much. :wink:

    Time to go fold some clothes...
    Love y'all,
    Lisa in Arkansas

    edited July 2019
    Goals for June:

    -do 30 min core/knee set at least twice per week - 100%
    -do 30 min upper body set at least twice per week - 100%
    -walk outside at least once per week - 50%
    -move 10 minutes at a time, twice a day (stretching, yoga, cleaning, walking all count as movement) - 80%
    -meditate in 10 minute blocks once per day - close to 0%!

    My new goals for July:
    -the same as above, except for meditation. I've given up, for the moment, on intentional meditation.
    -go back to basics regarding non-nutrient-dense foods (eg. junk food, processed food, "treats") and keep them out of the house. if I want a "treat", I will have to plan it and go and get it the day I want it. I was doing fine for awhile with having these things in the house, but things have changed a bit, so I need to switch it up.
    -treadmill, twice per week, 10 minutes at a time, until I can do the whole 10 minutes without stopping! Then I'll push up to 15 minutes at a time.
    -yoga video twice per week, minimum 10 minutes at a time.

    After a 7.5 lb weight gain (over the months of March-May) I am once again on the decline (lost 2 lbs of that 7.5).

    It's taken me months to get some semblance of balance again. Starting daily exercise in January sorta knocked me off balance with food a bit. But I think I'm finally getting it together and it feels good. I wasn't beating myself up about it, because I knew how difficult it was to start and maintain an exercise program.. but at the same time it was giving me a little anxiety. I'm relieved!

    Thanks for helping me stay motivated, ladies!
