I had a whole bunch of things I wanted to do today. But as soon as Matt got into work he got word that a friend he'd known for 35 years(since the guy came home from the hospital just a few days old) died of a drug overdose on Sunday. He called me sobbing, broken. Matt was a drug addict in a previous life but got clean…

Good morning my friends! So Matt and I got our second dose of the vaccine on Thursday! The only reactions I had were a mild headache for a few hours and a sore arm for 2 days. Matt was sluggish with a sore arm and random traveling body pains. But everything is gone now. We took the weekend off to recover because we weren't…

I had a really good day yesterday! I spent some time with Matt in the morning. Got a bunch of cleaning done. Shopped an Instacart order and made $21. And had a really relaxing evening alone. It didn't last too long bc I had to go to bed at 8 though. While I was shopping the order my manager asked me to come in at 5 today…

So the apple after work plan worked, but of course the exiting manager gave us each a bag with a hand written note and a load of candy. I ate all the chocolate while I was driving home. Le sigh. I splurged on food again last night. I bought a little variety cheesecake the other day. I ate 3 pieces over the last two days.…

I was doing so well for like a month. And then everything went completely off the rails. My problem is that I get so hungry on my way out of work that I feel like I always need to munch on something on my drive home. And it has to be something either crunchy or sweet. And it's almost always absolutely terrible for me. I…

Hey everyone! I did it again...I disappeared on you. Work just gets in the way and I've been having the devil of a time getting up early enough to post goals before I have to speed to work. Lol. I know it's not an excuse. My eating has been *kitten*. Stupid me bought a crap ton of easter chocolates last week and we only…

Day 5 of 7 is in the books. 7 straight days of work is just plain old exhausting. And all my days are at least 7 hours long. I had a whole list of things that I wanted to do the last few days but I got nothing but laundry done. And I don't think I'm going to get much done before my day off on Thursday. I'm just so tired…

And bc I went to bed so early I woke up at 3 am even though my alarm was set for 4:30...I decided to stay up though. I knew that if I tried to go back to sleep and succeeded I would have a *kitten* of a time getting up with my alarm rang. So I edited my chapter for the day, enjoyed my coffee, and actually ate breakfast.…

The temperature dropped and the wind picked up so I only got about 10 minutes of work done outside but it was still nice and sunny out. I walked to the end of the driveway and grabbed the garbage can too. So I got a few steps in doing that.

Today is absolutely gorgeous! In the 60's with abundant sunshine! I spent some time this morning sitting in my chair outside enjoying a cup of coffee. And as soon as I post this I'm going to go sit outside again with my laptop and work! I got a new planner! It's a daily one. Similar to the one I had in 2017. I absolutely…

I'm proud that the only thing I didn't do yesterday was the dishwasher! I still need to do it though. The sink is getting overrun! Spent most of the day talking to my bff that I haven't heard from in a few weeks. So that was nice. I also got 13 pages edited yesterday! That was a heck of a lot for me. I keep my goal at 1…

Didn't hop on yesterday because by the time the hellish work day was over I just wanted to relax. I also went to bed incredibly early. Lol. Today was much better and I'm now home in my comfy clothes and with a glass of wine next to me. Yes, I know it's only 2:30 in the afternoon but I don't care! Lol I wasn't going to get…

Went back to work today after two days off. It was rough! We got a snow/ice storm yesterday/last night so I was worried about the roads. Our parking lot was worse then the roads though. The owner of the property does a really terrible job keeping our lot clear of snow and ice. We've had a couple of people slip this year.…

So other than the update that I posted last night not much has changed. We're in the middle of a really heavy snow storm. Matt was supposed to have an allergy skin prick test done today but when I called the office to see whether it was still on or not I got the answering machine that said the office was closed. So I guess…

So Matt has sprained lumbar ligaments. He's been put on restrictions of not pulling/pushing/lifting anything over 20 lbs. Although I don't think he can really lift anything over 10. But the doc gave him a script for naproxen 500 which is essentially 2 Aleve. So there's no point in filling the script and wasting the money…

So I woke up(really late) this morning to an email from the VP of Human Resources and the Worker's Comp Coordinator about what to do next. Their office is aware of the broken website link which I find totally astounding. That a Fortune 100 company still after 3 days doesn't have a way for employees to report injuries on…

While looking for the HR phone number, I stumbled across the email formula(name@site.com) for Dick's and the names of all of the HR leadership team. So I legit just sent them all an email about what happened and asking what we should do next.

Blah. Just blah. Matt's managers still can't figure out how to get the incident report website to work. And I don't even know if they've reached out to anyone. But it's been 3 days and they haven't made any progress. Matt is in a lot of pain and we can't afford to go to the doctor until Friday bc we have no money. So…

I got asked to come into work today for a few hours to help with the truck. It was fine. We got the whole thing done in 3 hours so I was able to go home and spend a few minutes cuddling with Matt. Then Matt went to work and I hung out in bed and read emails. Got a call like 2 hours into his shift. He threw out his back and…

Ended up going into work at 5 this morning bc we were going to have a director walk and my manager wanted us to get a head start on the truck. It was all put away by 8:30. It was a big truck too! But today was another great day! I did curbside most of the day. Nice and simple. And pretty mindless. Which is exactly what I…

Yesterday was a really awesome day. After how absolutely horrendous Wednesday was, yesterday was like a breath of fresh air. I got a lot done around the house and I did it using the tips that Matt gave me during our conversation Wednesday night. Work today was the complete opposite of Wednesday. Granted I only worked 5.5…

Okay...so I didn't end up doing any reading yesterday. Lol. Instead I took a 3 hour nap on the couch because I was warm and comfy and journaled about my terrible day. But I did make dinner! It just wasn't healthy at all. Lol Matt and I had a really healthy emotional check in and we worked through some things. He gave me…

Yesterday and today we both *kitten* shows. No other way to put it. Work was really really bad today. Three of the four employees ended up pissed off, frustrated, and miserable. We had a huge truck and only had 4 people run it. I had to put away 8 pallets of cooler/meat freight (which I'm really pretty terrible at). It was…

I've eaten half a large pizza before too! That's why most of the time I try to stick to just getting smalls. Lol. I ended up doing absolutely nothing but reading. I had a small emotional hiccup as I was about to open my laptop to start editing. Then the words of all of you telling me to rest popped into my head. And for…

I didn't do the two things I gave myself to do when I got home from work yesterday. Instead I took a 2 hour nap and ate a half of a small pizza. Not the best night. Oh I journaled for a bit too. All I really did was repeat myself and talk about the same 3 topics over and over again. For some reason that's just how my brain…

Yesterday sucked. There was really no other way of saying it. I was a *kitten* pretty much all evening. I feel bad for Matt having to deal with me the last 5 weeks. I've been a total shrew pretty much the whole time. I really want it to be warm again. I miss being able to sit outside and write. Instead, yesterday we had a…

@Snowflake1968 He was diagnosed when he was having all of those really bad stomach issues. I think they found it through a colonoscopy. And this is really the first time we've noticed it. I dont think he's ever had a true flair up except for the peanuts. It was just something we discovered by chance.
