Weekend was good. Friday Tim took me to a nice dinner at my favorite restaurant and then we went bowling. Funny side note: I was wearing leather like pants and got really hot bowling. There was a brief moment in the bathroom where I felt like Ross on Friends. IYKYK. Saturday I taught spin and got my hair done. Then took my…

Yesterday at work was busy, but good busy. I spent most of the day going over 2025 goals with my employees. Most were receptive to some changes I made. A few were not, but it was the growth goals they questioned. I had to explain that in order to achieve a rating of "exceeds expectation" you actually have to do something…

So I messed up a large project yesterday. It was a critical project that got delayed because I provided the wrong specification sheet. I found the mistake this morning, but it cost us a day. Hopefully we can get things moving again. On an up note my pup-dates on Merlin's progress are amazing. If I didn't know better I…

I am so frazzled today that I just want to cry. Nothing really bad is happening, things are just hectic and a little sideways at work.

After I got home from work yesterday I had to clean up after the dog a bit. He's old and didn't quite make it until 5:00pm. One of us usually goes home at lunch to let him out, but didn't yesterday. Then I laid down and slept until 8:00ish. Tim picked up dinner and brought it home around 9:00. I ate and went back to sleep.…

Didn't win at trivia last night, but had fun. Stayed a little after to catch the second half of the WVU B-ball game. They lost also... Went to mom's, it was a tough visit, but it's ok. Have to go back today with some supplies for her. Dog food and cookies... Think I'll stay in this evening, not sure what we'll eat, but I'm…

Yesterday got a little hectic. I worked late and had to go pick up meds at the pharmacy and kitty litter at the store before I could go home. By the time I got home, it was time to leave to meet hubby at JP's. Dinner and drinks were nice, but I felt a little off. Not exactly drunk, but super tired. I decided to leave my…

Had a change of plans yesterday because I forgot that I needed to go with Tim to return his rental car. So I left work early, and got home early enough to take a short nap before spin. Spin was fun, I can't ride full out when I teach right now because I'm out of shape, but I still get a workout burned 330 in 45 minutes.…

Hubby took Merlin today. I cried when I said goodbye this morning (and now when I type this). I'm glad I wasn't the one who had to drop him off. Tim said he was confused and scared. I feel awful, but I need him to learn and I just don't have the time to teach him. When our previous dogs were puppies, I stayed home with the…

Typical training here is weekly group sessions, and he knows his commands he just needs a little more to behave. My daughter’s dog did this training and had exceptional results. She did it for her dog to be a therapy dog/emotional support dog. Gia went from getting kicked out of doggie daycare to a well behaved yet fun…

Yesterday was good, and today has flown by. I was very busy at work which is unusual for a Friday, but its goal setting time. I had to set goals for the area, for my direct reports and for myself. Then I had some training to finish up. Not sure what we are doing for dinner, but I'm sure it will be good. Late in the day, no…

He is a black lab. He knows his commands, but he gets too excited to do them. They will work on that, as well as preventative behavior. He will go there for 3-4 weeks and stay with the trainers. 2 weeks into the training we get to go see him, but we will get video updates regularly.

Yesterday was ok... Today started out tough. Could not get Merlin into my vehicle to take him to daycare. Now that he's like 65-70lbs, I can't just lift him in. It's a real problem. Luckily, my calendar opened up a little and I can go home at lunch to let him out. Silly puppy. He leaves for training this coming Monday.…

Forgot to call the oral surgeon yesterday, but seeing it on my list reminded me to do it this morning. Had a particularly crappy day at work yesterday, so hubby took me out for dinner instead of having left overs. Other than that the day was ok. Lots on the agenda today. JFT Wednesday - Work by 8:00 :smiley: - Meetings…

Yesterday was ok. Called the appliance store about mom's dryer, but they didn't return my call. Hopefully they will today. Pup woke up crazy early this morning 2:30am, I tried to ignore him for about 20 minutes. Then I let him out. He went to the bathroom and I put him back in his kennel. About an hour later he was whining…

Rather uneventful weekend. Taught spin Saturday, but only 1 person showed for class. It was actually nice because it was her first time and I could base the class on her needs and teach her as we went. The I went to mom's to have her new dryer delivered, which was a bit of a fiasco but I'll fix it today. Other than that we…

Did go to trivia last night, did not get a nap. Did limit my alcohol, did win at trivia. Did get to bed before 10, did not shower before bed. For the record if I don't shower before bed, I do actually shower in the morning. I just prefer to sleep in if at all possible Busy day at work today. Dotted line boss's, boss is…

They were shutting down a product line globally. I wouldn't say it's a surprise the business has not been doing well, but it did happen a littler sooner than I thought it would. Our plant does make the product, but we aren't going to have to let people go. That's good news. Other global sites aren't so lucky. New Jersey,…

Pretty much everything after 3:00pm was a miss. Oh well. Forgot to go to mom's, then Tim wanted to go out to dinner. It was an ok evening, but we hit a deer on the way home. Tim has absolutely no luck with those critters. It actually ran past the car and we thought we were good, but then it turned back and ran right into…

Work was a drag yesterday, spin class was ok, the football game was good at least what I stayed awake for. I've bailed on spin class way to often lately. Finding excuse after excuse just to call class instead of participating in the class. I decided yesterday that I was going to ride even if it meant struggling in front of…

I haven't logged for a few days. Friday was hubby's birthday and we went on a dinner cruise. Food was so so, no need to over eat it, but didn't log. Saturday was spin class, a funeral and we had friends over for chili and game night. Not really a bad food day, just didn't log. Sunday I didn't feel great, slept until…

Late getting on here today. It's been a busy morning. I started feeling better yesterday afternoon, so I decided to go to trivia after all. As is typical our team was in first going into the last question and then missed the final. It was good though. Kim brought Tim cupcakes for his birthday. His birthday is tomorrow, but…

Another cold day here, not as cold as some, but not comfortable either. 5F when I left for work this morning. Hubby suggested I stay home today because I still feel and sound awful, but there is a 1:00 meeting I need to attend. It's about raises for my people and if I'm not there money could be reallocated and screw my…

Still feeling like poo... Many, many meetings today. Can't wait to go home and nap. No goals.

Didn't post for a few days. No real reason, just not much to report. I'm a bit under the weather today, looks like I finally caught hubby's cold. Fever, sore throat & cough, oh my! Still not bad enough to stay home from work, just bad enough to be annoying and make me tired. V needs me to help with her resume later which…

Did well during the day yesterday, but self destructed at trivia. It started with ordering a calzone instead of a salad, and ended up with 4 drinks instead of 2. I also forgot to go to my mom's. So now I have to do that today. So not in the mood for her to complain about being lonely. It would be different if she were…

Kind of late checking in today, been a busy morning/afternoon. Yesterday was good, and after a week or so of mostly good days, my jeans are buttoning more easily. YAY! JFT Wednesday - Up with pup :smiley: - Meeting at 7:30 :smiley: - Take older dog to vet :smiley: - Back to work :smiley: - Meetings - Go pick up pooch -…

I broke down and logged my food for the first time in a looong time. I was pleasantly surprised.

Roads here were really bad yesterday, but made it safely to and from work. Hubby has been sick so he stayed home. Just had leftovers for dinner. He made soup beans Saturday evening, which I like ok, but they just didn't cut it last night. I heated them up added some cornbread ate like 2-3 bites and tossed it. Ended up…

Lazy weekend for me. Hubby came down with a nasty cold so we had to cancel game night at our place Saturday, but it was nice because we'd already cleaned the house for it. Did a few things with mom Saturday during the day, but finished up by noon. Didn't get any dedicated exercise in, but ate well and in good portions. I…
