T.G.I.F.... I know - I know... it was a short week - but MAN I am GLAD it's Friday! Dress down today too - so jeans and sneakers it is!! I know my back will appreciate the sneakers, when I am walking around the grocery store today after work! UGH! I don't have much of a list - and no decisions about next weeks meals, but I guess I will figure it out on the fly today! I do know there will be chicken and steak involved... I need to get back to those basics too!
I did track yesterday -got my 100 oz of liquids... mostly plain water, I was over on calories by 5! Over in sodium and FAT and PROTEIN! I was UNDER my recommended amounts of CARBS and SUGAR! WOO HOO!! BUT I need to control the fat and sodium intake too... those are NOT good.... so still trying to find the balance that I really do NEED to find ASAP!
So TGIF... Deb will be back from vacation next week - that will help, and I will need to get geared up for RELAY next weekend... I can't believe it's already upon us!
Let me grab coffee 10 oz of water in this morning - will get this 22 oz bottle gone before I head to work!

Good Morning ~ Rumor has it we might see some SUN today AND it's Friday so it can only go up from here, right? We've had gloomy clouds and rain and thunderstorms all around since Monday so it's a relief to feel sun. Late night last night - went to my mother's and actually had a good visit. She was in a FUN mood which was a relief. I think she's excited her younger brother, my Uncle, is planning to visit and stay with her in a few weeks - Need to flip laundry - brb

So I did most of my "Exercises" while at work yesterday - they can be done while working! Now to do them before and after work too! Failing there... Failed to take that walk yesterday too... NEED to find motivation to Just.DO.IT.!
Sue: Kind of glad the game got cancelled... better for you to be able to come home and rest/relax/regroup... you will most likely head to a game or two this weekend! LOL No buses... school here goes until mid-June... but on my commute, I usually only have to contend with one - heading West, while I am heading East.
Gabrielle: Ahhh, sunshine while you ran and while you were chatting here... so nice uh? I say it DOES make a "Difference". YAY for letting yourself just go to bed - and sleep... WOW 9 hours... you WERE tired... eventually ya' gotta give in and let it happen! Still a lot of driving yesterday for you - home last night?? Hope you let yourself sleep again...
Well sorry - didn't go for the walk... and didn't avoid the mac & cheese as well as I thought I would... I tracked it - but need to think about all of this before I shop today!
Minden does sound like a beautiful place... I think I'd like "desert" more than "mountains" for myself! LOL
OH I think you mentioned Birkenstock shoes the other day - yes... I have 2 pair, well on is a "knock off" but very comfortable... the other is "authentic" but a "Clog" type, closed toe - but I do like them. I heard on the Today shoe Birkenstocks are coming out with "bling" now, not just the plain suede they have always been. I keep forgetting to look them up - but will...
Sue: Glad the side affects are wearing off, and with the back feeling better - you will be GOOD TO GO This weekend! LOL I'd tell you not to "overdo" but that would be "preaching to the choir"... and probably go in one ear and out the other! LOL I am sure there are games to head to - maybe take a pillow for behind your back, while sitting in the lawn chair? You need one that has the leg supports that come up so you are more like a recliner!
Shelly: Sorry even on a slow day you can't get out a little early... but OK Pork steaks and broccoli is a good meal for you. YAY for tracking your water - yes 69 oz is a good start... Well yeah, I'd say with that small amount of eating you would "easily" lose weight... OK so you grabbed some chocolate... not the end of the world - and we learn from our mistakes, right?? LOL NOT that I'd ever call chocolate a "mistake"! LOL
Yikes, no that's not good to lose customers over the bad pumps! Hope they fixed whatever was wrong and you can get some of those customers back!
Not sure about the interviews... a week has gone by with no word on anything! I hear the department is super busy - being down one Trust Admin, but you would think they would let us know something by now! Whatever - I am still trying to catch up from my being out - so maybe they have an issue like that as well!
Oh dear... yes DS needs to get his own mower... sorry that probably won't happen this year - with the trip to WDW and all... I think I'd tel him he can borrow it but he can do your lawn when he brings it back! WEEKLY!

Received some disturbing news last night while I was visiting my mother - all work related - the Teachers are in an uproar and rightfully so - the Board pulled a pretty 'sneaky' move and promoted the Prince to Chief Executive Officer which is rather sickening but I'm not surprised. It's very clear Dragon Lady controls the Board AND manipulated them into appointing the Prince (someone she can control) but HEY, I am trying and trying to find the positive in all of this - remaining calm - and seeing that this might work to our advantage as we all know how truly weak the Prince is - lol - shaking my head - I will go in today and model calm, cool, collected leadership. Smiling...really, this I can do. After work and between rain storms I did walk ColbyGirl and met my goal. Felt good. Not sure it can happen again today as we have a neighborhood Graduation Party to attend around 6PM (I know, a Friday evening one. A bit different but could be nice). DD23 offered to come with me and hoping DD20 also joins as the graduate knows the Girls best! lol She uses to be the little 'tag-along' when the Girls were growing up so it's kind of sweet seeing her Graduate High School. Looking forward to the weekend ALREADY

Mornin' Christine... while we are seeing sun each day it is a COLD sun... and turns to gray skies each day with rain here and there... hmm, just heard today is NO RAIN - I do not believe it!
Hmm, DM was in a fun mood? So glad... oh I hope she enjoys having her DB staying with her.. is he coming for something special?
OH MY Goodness... such a promotion for such an idiot... I Hope he "Crashes and burns" quickly!! Sorry that's not very nice of me is it? I am sure the teachers will be all in a twitter today!! Can't wait to hear how this plays out!
YAY for a Friday evening party... hope you get your walk - YAY for yesterday... you'll figure it out, enjoy the neighborhood party!
OK Must get moving here... YAY it IS Friday - but I do NOT feel like getting moving today... sleeping better, but averaging 5 hours 30 minutes this week... tomorrow, no alarm, and nothing to get up for until I head to T-Ball - have to leave here around 9:30... so that's later than normal - so I am OK with that! Not having the girls tomorrow... after Eden's T-Ball game (we will take Zoë) but after the game we will take Zoë home - leave Eden with her parents and Tracy and I are headed to the mall! I need/WANT a pedicure and a manicure... nails are shorter than usual - been breaking and biting! A nice French gel Manicure will help me feel netter too! LOL
OK Signing off NOW... ♥hugs♥

Morning Carole, Christine and all to come...
I think I can say with conviction that side effects of the shot are just about gone....my arm is still really sore but the overall aches, pains etc are gone....hopefully it stays that way all day! Back is continuing to improve...forcing myself to just rest and "baby it" all week is a working...am I finally learning to take care of myself and not pushing it!
Both Colton and Kellen play away this weekend and I'm opting out of all baseball....would love to go to at least one but I know that another day in a lawn chair might not be in my best interest!
Got a text last night from one of my painting buddies and today is the "Summer Kick Off" at the winery that we often paint at and a bunch of them thought it would be fun to go for dinner and to try out the "new releases"! We will all meet about 5:15pm to have dinner and just visit! Will be fun!
Tomorrow is a pedicure at 11:00 am and some shopping on my way home.....should be able to catch up finally....did start to read back throughout the week's posts while pampering my back.....
Have a great Friday all.....for a short week, this has seemed long!

Ugh...another stressful day. Got a complaint on one of my cashiers and I may have to let her go. She can be so hateful and she gets that way with the customers from time to time. Of course she will deny it but she has just been in a mood all week and apparently she is letting the customers see that side of her again. She has been better for some time since I told her if it happened one more time she would have to be let go. Well it happened today and the customer was really upset about it. I don’t think the customer would have said anything if it was minor but he said she was down right hateful!!! Ugh I don’t want to fire anyone but I think the atmosphere would be better without her. Sorry for ranting but I needed to tell someone. Will let you know what my HR guy tells me to do. Getting ready to go visit with him. Catch all later

www.wsls.com/news/virginia/human-remains-stolen-truck-found-in-mecklenburg-county-amid-search-for-amy-fabianI've opted not to head out for dinner with friends....been a hellish long day....it started at 8:30 this morning when Sherry got a call from Amy's mom. While positive ID has yet to be made due to decomposition of the body found in the article above they suspect it is Amy....that SOB killed her! The remains were found in a truck that her Ex-boyfriend has stolen so ID is a formality at this point. I can't get my sh!t together....while her lack of attention to detail and work ethic annoyed me I loved her as a person...she was sweet, sassy, spunky, funny, kind and caring.....a blast to just hang out with away from the work frustration.

Hey all.... What a long day it was. So the lady I had to let go is just something else. She has had many complaints on how she tends to have attitude and many of the employees don't really care to work with her. She is hateful to the other employees and just acts like she is better than anyone else. I Know her and I have butted heads many times and I just let it go because I need help. Well today she upset customers again. She has been talked to about this before and I told her she had one more chance. So its been a bit since the last time I visited with here and I was informed today after I let her go that other customers had complained to some of my help. Why they didn't tell me before today I do not know. All week I have just been over her and trying to decide what I needed to do about her. Well after talking with others I almost feel like here attitude all week has been to try and get fired. She told me today that on her day off yesterday she was job searching so tells me she was fixing to leave one way or another. So we are all glad to be done with her. I may have a couple of customers who do like her but they don't know all the problems I have had behind the scene. Anyway all is over and we can all move on.
Carole I guess my friday is tomorrow. I am off Sunday this weekend. Ugh tomorrow is the first so will work longer than usual on a Saturday. Good job on staying under your carb and sugar goal. That is always good. Your fat and sodium can be worked on. Actually in keto you eat more fats. Good job getting your water in. I got almost 70 oz yesterday but not very much at all today. With everything going on I just forgot to drink.
Christine hope the sun made its way out in your neck of the woods. Glad you had a good visit with DM last night. Oh I bet our mom is excited to have family staying with her. I am sure she does get lonely.
Carole I fail everyday anymore just on my nutrition. Let alone on my WO I haven't done in forever So I haven't tracked but defiantly ate things that are not on my approved list. A candy bar and some oreo's are defiantly on the DO NOT EAT LIST LOL No real food all day long. Actually no breakfast, unless you count the candy bar, No breakfast except the oreo's and nothing for supper. Just not hungry. Im sure I will be up even though I didn't eat much food.
So far so good on the pumps. I am thinking maybe they might have figured it out. Said the push to start button wasn't hitting properly and shaved them down a little and all seems good right now.
Hope they start the interview get going soon I know everyone is anxious to find out who they are going to hire for the position. Good luck when they start interviewing.
LOL yes I have mentioned he should mow for me but I don't think that will ever happen. I love him to pieces but how can one child be so different from the other two. I mean he makes more money but seems to have way less and gets himself in a bind. The others seem to live within their means and if they need something they save and get it. Of course they don't live near us so not like they are borrowing from us. But they are way better with their money than he is.

Christine oh no!!! How can they promote Prince??? Obviously they have no idea how little he does and knows how to do his job. If they only knew how much of his job you did they would never consider him. Yes I think and hope this could work to your advantage and he will be gone before you know it. So what will this mean for you? I hope it gives you a little peace and you won't have to deal with him on a day to day basis.
Hope Lindsey went with you to the party. I know how hard it is to find enough time in the day to get that walk or WO in. I mean I think I am actually looking for excuses why I am to busy lol. Way to meet your goal yesterday.
Sue glad you are starting to slowly feel better. Hope today you continued to see improvement. I see you are scheduled for a pedicure tomorrow. I really would love to start getting them again but need to pay some stuff off. Hate I have all this credit card debt.
Oh my!!! So hard to believe Amy is gone!!! So so sad!!! I hope they have enough evidence to lock him up and throw away the key!!! I will never understand why they can't just walk away but have to murder instead. I mean they never get away with it. Somehow they always leave clues that causes them to get caught. So the other guy that was killed was that her current boyfriend? I was a little confused about that. Hugs my friend. We are here if you need us.
OK got to get to bed. Working again tomorrow
