Wallow today - it's allowed. Grief doesn't ever go away, it just sort of abates for awhile to return later. Hugs to you!! Thinking of you today. Grief bacon is okay for a day or two, though, but getting back on track returns to you the control that grief can steal away. More hugs!
This. And even more hugs!0 -

Suzie, honey, I ate all of everything yesterday. 20th anniversary of my mom's death. I still can't decide if the hardest thing I have ever said is "My mom didn't want to live.this way, unplug the machines." Or "Nana's gone to heaven."
I'm so sorry. Grief is its own creature. My daughter called me from my parents ranch where she was spending a few weeks a year and a half ago. She was 15. "Mom, I thought you would want to know, Gigi died a few minutes ago." (Gigi is what we called my grandmother the last decade of her life, GG short for great grandmother but it suited her so well that everyone started calling her that.) Gigi played the mother role for me in ways my mother never has been able to do. I miss her. I miss her very much. You gave your mother the most difficult act of love that you could, to honor her wishes even though it meant saying goodbye and being the one to determine when that was. That is an incredible and touching act of love that you had the strength to do. A huge hug and I'm shedding some tears with you.0 -

Today also starts Raelynn's first day in behavioral therapy. I'm hoping that this helps us, because she desperately needs the help. I feel like I'm losing control of my child, and that's the worst feeling I could feel right now.
I'm feeling that too with my son. Head up, deep breaths. It is a process that takes time and improvements are not linear. She'll do great, then she will revert to some behaviors, then slow improvement, then leaps of improvement. You'll get there!

I must confess that I feel a little crazy and conceited. A month ago, if someone was staring at me, I'd assume that they were lost in thought or there was something wrong with me. Tonight, one of the guys I work with kept looking at me while he was wheeling around patient beds for things like taking them to xray. At first, I didn't think anything of it.. figured I was probably just really close to being in the way. Then he smacked into a computer with a bed. When I looked up because I heard the noise, he was staring at me and paying no attention to the patient or the computer. He gave me a big goofy "oops" grin, and his whole face was bright red. He passed by me several more times throughout the night, and each time he'd stare at me, and when I'd look back his whole face would go red. Honestly, it reminded me a lot of middle school when guys are too shy to talk with the girls and when the girl smiles, the guy giggles and runs away.. The last time he went by me, he asked me where one of the rooms was, even though he has worked there longer than I have, and had just come out of that room about 5 minutes before. Conceited me is pretty sure he thinks I'm pretty awesome to look at. Crazy me thinks I should be wearing baggier pants to keep from having issues like that in the future (I wear size 16/18 right now for my work pants, because I bought them about 20 pounds ago, and can now fit in 12/14... if I go any larger, I'll need suspenders since the belt is having some trouble with the 18s as it is.. hence me feeling nuts)0

Oh, dang it, I forgot to try that tonight. In my defense, I was taking "before" pictures for a six-week challenge I signed up for on bodybuilding.com. Pictures, of me, in my smallest swimsuit. And I'm going to put them on the World Wide Web where anyone can see them... (Oh my gosh, what have I done?!?)

Hahaha! I have the same pics of me, but they aren't on the internet. They are on the cloud, but luckily I'm not a celebrity so I don't think anybody will try to hack my pictures.
Good luck with the challenge!0 -
I was thinking of signing up for something like that myself. I just got started with the 30 day beginner set instead. I still need to put up pics there.0

That's a great NSV and don't you dare wear looser clothes. You've worked hard and shouldn't have to hide it.
PS. I hope he didn't make the patient he crashed feel more pain than they may have been feeling already.
ETA I have no idea why my phone is added extra quotes...but I hate it.0 -
I confess that I find it funny that someone is giving my manager's phone number to people calling with questions about their billing statements.0

Edited because technology hates me.
I hate that. My old office was always freezing. I actually brought a blanket to work and put it on my legs, it was that bad.

Thanks I'm so excited to get it and get it all set up with you guys woo hoo!!
Nice!!! I'm still Fitbit-less, but that's ok. I'm currently obsessing over the Garmin Forerunner 225...has HRM w/out needing a strap, built in GPS, good for running.... I wants it! Saving up for that currently. Wish I could join the Fitbit crew, but I don't like the comparable Fitbit version (Charge HR) as much as I like the Garmin. heh
I adore Garmin, I'm trying to justify getting the new one...
Um, you just ran a 1/2 marathon... I think that's justification!!
I say get a sweet Garmin and then we can be Garmin friends when I get mine one day. Ha! 0 -

Laura! How do you like your new Fitbit? You got the Charge HR?
Yep the Charge HR! So far so good! I'm just trying to get used to a different app tracker and how it syncs with MFP is a bit different but I'm so happy to have an activity tracker again I felt so lost without it! It was kind of sad actually because before these came out I never thought about steps or activity during workouts, I just worked out. Now I can't stand working out without it!0 -
When I did my C25K last night, I had my Fitbit and my Polar HR on. So I was all geared up for my run!!0

And then when you do forget to put it on (if you're like me) you throw a minor hissy fit and don't want to do the workout/walk/whatever.0
