Odds and ends

thekyttnWent through the townhouse this evening - there is a lot that still needs to be finished. My boss (Janice) and her husband went with me; I'm so very grateful! I don't know how I could have dealt with it on my own.
I made an appointment with a psychiatrist. Unfortunately he can't see me until the 19th, but at least I have an appointment. I'm also taking time off from work from the evening of the 19th through the 22nd. It will be a very hard weekend as the 22nd is our wedding anniversary. I'm planning to be pretty much out of touch that weekend, though I'll have my computer with me where-ever I am. I may make phone calls, though I rather doubt it, but will probably not be accepting any. I'm going to go to an inexpensive hotel, possibly one near a spa (I want to treat myself to a pedicure), and just allow myself to mourn. I'm planning to go someplace near a museum or aquarium or something so I can have something to do if I want to, and I'm bringing books with me to read. Two of Tanya's Summoning books came into the bookstore this weekend, and while I couldn't resist starting to re-read the first one, I am going to hold on to the other and get the third from B&N, and take those with me. I also got her Wizard Grove book which I haven't read yet, and if it pulls me in half as much as the Summoning books do, I'll be in decent shape. The Summoning books are special, not just because they are wonderful reads and written by someone I really like and admire (*squelch fangirl gushing*), but because Greg got me my first set when I was working on weight watchers and losing weight. They were gifts/rewards for reaching minor milestones.
Janice told me to take the 22nd off as a sick day, bless her. I'm still in my probationary period, so I can't use annual leave (vacation time) yet. I am allowed to take (paid) sick time, though. That means I don't even have to worry about working extra hours the rest of the week.
I'm finally going back to see my lawyer this week and getting some things done that have gotten away from me. I've also started back on a diet. Or, not a diet, exactly, but watching my calories a bit more. I've gained back everything I lost earlier in the year, and then some, and clothes aren't fitting well. I don't really care about the weight so much, except that I'm annoyed not to be able to wear some of the dresses I have that I really like. I'm slowly rebuilding my wardrobe and it is annoying to have outgrown half of what I have. Luckily it will only take about a 10-15 lb weight loss to make a huge difference. I'm aiming for double that. I'll still be way overweight, but right now I don't really care.
I discovered today that egg drop soup is far lower in calories than I expected (somewhere between 70 and 130 calories per cup according to the web), and there is a place nearby that makes a great eggdrop soup and it is only $1.15 for about 12 oz! I suspect this is going to become my dinner at least once a week, probably on days that I work both at Transit and at the bookstore.
I'm tired. Time for a little Facebook Bingo, then tv and bed.
Goodnight all.
