The river behind and the swamp next to us both crested the bank overnight due to torrential rain over the weekend. I left to go to the gym while it was still dark out and didnt find out we were flooded until I stepped off my front stoop...I was able to move my car but not Matt's. I parked up at my parents house about 200 yards away and had to walk through knee deep freezing water a whole bunch of times. At about 5:30 I went out to see if there was anything that we could tie a rope around Matt's to tow it out so I ended up kneeling in the water up to my chest reaching under the car. I couldn't find anything. I hopped right in the shower as soon as I got back inside. Oh! And it was raining again...Thankfully no water got in the house! The water has dropped significantly so Matt can get it out today, we're just hoping that the interior isn't ruined. Matt has severe asthma so mold will make it hard for him to breathe. Thank God we have comprehensive insurance though. So if we do need to get it repaired we can. The cold water wiped me out though. I ended up in bed by 9:30. But I think that I got too much sleep because I had the hardest time getting up this morning. Thank goodness I can go in late today or I would have been totally screwed. Lol.
The sky is bright blue and I dont think there isn't any rain in the forecast for the next few days. Hopefully the water will go down even further today. Right now it's about the quarter of the way up his tire. I'll post a before and after picture if I can.
Okay!
I didnt hit many of my goals yesterday with everything that happened so I'm just going to start fresh.

See this is what I find so funny about British people. We moan when it's raining (like spitting) and moan it's too hot, too cold, too cloudy, too windy.
And there you are knee/chest deep in rain water trying to love a car and other people get their houses (lol that autocorrected to horses) ripped away by hurricanes and yet we moan about a tiny bit of rain
I would not survive over there!
Haha OMG, that was meant to say move not love! I'm pretty sure you were not "loving" your car!

So today has been hard, well no its been okay but the lack of sleep is really starting to hit me now. It did before but I had an energy drink lol!
I don't know why I wrote down Exercise, there was no chance of that happening!
Marley had to come home early from nursery, when I dropped her off she was fine and dancing away in the music room and about 90mins later I got a call, they said she just turned pale so quickly and was burning up and she had gone to sleep on some pillows and it was just not like her. So I ran and got her, bit of Calpol and Shrek on the telly and she perked up! I even took her back to the nursery when collecting Saskia just to show them she was okay because they were all worried for her.
She did turn again, when we got home she went to sleep again and started to burn up so more Calpol, dinner and bed. Hopefully tomorrow she will be okay but she's at home with me anyway.
Other than that I'm sat here writing because I seriously CBA cleaning..

Hi to All!
I’ve been uber busy today and have not had a chance to get on our thread.
I’ve tried though to keep up reading your posts and my thoughts and prayers go to those of you who are facing life’s challenges. I know some trials can be hard but think of them as temporary and of those around you who can be of support, including this wonderful group of kindred spirits.
RECAP 11/26/18
JFT:
Hit 8000 steps
5 somethings every bathroom break
Sit down for every bite Actually caught myself twice starting to eat while standing and sat my bootie down!
I’m on Day 4 of the Beck Book (Give Yourself Credit). Boy is that hard or what! I did so in the early morning but the day has gone by and I just haven’t gotten the gist of it yet. I will though. That’s a game changer and I’m sure you can all attest to that! LOVE THE BOOK AND PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!
JFT 11/27/18:
Hit 10,000 steps
5 somethings every bathroom break
Sit down for every bite
Gotta go now, it’s almost 5 so I’ll be back tomorrow. You all have a great evening and stay warm. It’s even cold here in sunny Florida

My dinner dilemma continues - DH just said he would cook some cubed pork since he can defrost it quickly and then read my mind and said or we can get KFC! I'm like YESSSSS but NOOOOO. Leaving work two hours later than normal so cooking something at home means not eating until atleast 7 or 8 and I didnt pack a protein snack today so that's a stretch - okay now I'm just reasoning with my KFC addled brain lol. Just added a famous bowl to my diary and it doesn't put me as much in the red as I thought it would, so I think I'll take the path of least resistance tonight and plan on pork tomorrow! Now to resist the cookie the meal comes with and prepare myself that the scale will probably be over 180 tomorrow with all the sodium but its a choice I'm making so I gotta deal!3

Ah man, I fell asleep finally at around 2 am.
My partner sent me downstairs for coughing at around 3.30... I tried to get back to sleep, couldn't do it. So watched YouTube videos and then I started to feel. Sleepy around 5am until Marley started shouting me saying she'd been sick, fortunately it was just water she threw up from. Coughing so I changed her sheets and it's now 6.25am and my. Alarm goes off in 5 mins!
Today.. Will be interesting!
I really want to go get my e cig from.the bedroom. But don't want to wake my OH!
But anyway, I took a pic of Casey yesterday in ultimate chill out mode haha

JFT:
I will go for a run even though it's forking freezing outside.
I will stay within my calorie limit even though I'm flying across the country.
I will give myself permission to go to sleep really early when I arrive at my destination and not stay up doing work because the time change and altitude are going to be brutal.5
