Various Updates

I am happy to report that my husband got a part-time job! It was the one that I mentioned he had a good lead on. It took a while to go through all of the pre-employment steps. For a minimum wage retail job, the process surprised us. But now it is a done deal and we’ll have some more income to help support us until our business kicks into gear.

About the business, I haven’t had much time to work on it lately since I am working more hours at work than originally thought. At least I know that if I want to go back to full time I can. The work is there. So that is comforting.

On the other hand, I’ve already dropped one pant size since cutting my hours. That is not due to formal exercising because I haven’t been doing any. I believe it is due to the fact that I am no longer sitting for so many hours a day. It probably also helps that I haven’t been grabbing as many “comfort foods” since my stress level has decreased.

I have to say thank you to those who mentioned SwapTree in the comments in my post about public libraries. I checked it out and plan to give it a try. I’m already gathering some books and games that didn’t sell at our garage sales to see if I can swap for some books I am looking for.

Lastly, Ray came back to “ER” tonight! Yay! Neela – why did you let him go!!! Why? Why?? As a Neela-Ray fan, I am bummed.

I was SO bummed about Neela and Ray too! I was super excited to see him back (ask my husband…maybe a little too excited Then I was furious at the way it ended. Hopefully they are building anticipation for Neela and Ray to end up together when the series is done. A girl can dream

Nicole – I wonder how many husbands were thinking their wives were too excited LOL. The tension between the two of them – sigh. I wanted to yell at the other doc for ruining the moment.

Ditto about Ray and Neela! I want a real romance! (If not for me, at least for them!)

And congratulations on the weight loss. I think we all might be surprised at the weight loss we’d experience if only we could lose some of the stress in our lives.
