Here I am again after months of not blogging. It’s summer, but nothing is going on. I did rejoin Weight Watchers again. I’ve lost 10.2 pounds since Februrary. It’s such a slow process.
I’ll do better at posting; especially since I want an accountability of my weigh loss. And I need encouragement as well.
I’ve been wanting to update my blog but haven’t felt much like it. When I came on today and looked around, I found out that most other people I know haven’t updated their blogs either.
We are either too busy or nothing is going on in our lives worth commenting about.
I’ve had a tough time this year for some reason. I guess it is just the time of year. My Dad died in 1993 on Dec 29 and my Mom died in 2002 on Feb 11. I’ve been told that our emotions know what time of year even if we don’t realize it. This year it seems harder to pass through these times.
Work is the pits. Even though I have made amends with my boss, which means I no longer walk around angry at him, I don’t trust him. His management style hasn’t changed in the last year which means he still doesn’t know anything about what this office does. We’re are supposed to have a goal setting meeting (at my suggestion) and he hasn’t even gotten that scheduled. We have weekly staff meetings, but all he does is pass along stupid, unimportant tidbits and then we go around the table. Most of us have learned it’s just best not to mention anything because we’d have to explain it to him. He wouldn’t understand it, he’d schedule a meeting to have you come and ‘bring him up to speed’ which he doesn’t follow through on and we just get more and more frustrated.
It’s just a tough time and I’m struggling.
I seem to have missed it, but I’ve learned now that there were three persons on the ballot for President yesterday, and I don’t mean the Libertarian. They were:
John McCain
Barak Obama
First African American to run for office.
The last one seems to have won because that’s all I’ve heard on the news today, “The first African American elected to the White House.” I wonder if the other two candidates knew of this last one’s credentials.
The election of Obama is supposed to heal our land of racism. In this state, all it has done is light the fire under already cold ashes. It’s stoked today. I pray it will not be a wild fire.
Don’t forget to vote. I can’t image that anyone would with all that’s in the media.
I have arthritis and today has been SO bad. It’s like a dull ache. Makes me want to just climb in the bed with an electric blanket and stay there. Tylenol helps. Funny how Fall is better for my asthma but is murder on my joints.
