Ups and Downs

Up: Despite the fact that I only exercised one day last week, I managed to lose 2 pounds!! I must stop being lazy now and get back into the exercise routine. That is really the only way I am going to lose any more weight and get my heart healthier.

Down: My kids have been sick (nasty tummy virus) that kept us up all night. But they are both better now, so I hope our germiness is over for the season.

Up: Hubby has the home theater room done to where we only need carpetting. It is super fun to watch movies for free in the comfort of my own home. A movie is going to have to look REALLY good to drag me back into the theater.

Down: Still no permanent job for hubby, but he is at least working 40 hour weeks again with the temp agency. The 2-day work weeks over the holidays hit us pretty hard.

Up: I got the dog license this year! Somehow we forgot/lost it last year and just never got it. That was probably fine until our dog ran away and got picked up by the dog catcher. We got him back from the shelter, and then I got a registered letter saying I owed a $150 fine. Failure to pay the fine would result in a warrant for my arrest!!! ACK!!! So, I made sure to get the stupid dog license this year. Now if Max runs off again, at least he is legal.

Down: Icy roads--yuck. I detest winter roads. If God could just let the snow fall on only the grass, I would be happy. And of, course, that's all God has to worry about is whether I'm happy or not. (That was supposed to be snarky/sarcastic, just in case it doesn't read that way.)

Up: I do feel like I have started to turn the corner on my depression. It's not "the year my dad died" anymore, and for some reason, that has made a difference. I hope I can continue the mood upswing!

  2. Hope the kids are getting better.

    Last trip to the movie theater for the 4 of us cost $52 for a matinee. What time does your theater open? What are you showing? ;-)

    Dog licences are a racket IMHO, but at least with the tag they can call you if your dog is found. I would prefer a nice pretty charm on my boy's collar with his name and my info, but IDK if I would do that if it wasn't required. Still - $150 Ack!

    Keep on the upswing. May you find peace.
