Life

I know work will calm down in a bit.  Our firm merged with another firm last month and all of our software is new and it’s a bit of a learning curve.  While the computer transitions were going there was a black out period for over a week, so everyone had to scramble to get their month end shit done.  I can’t help but think...

We are still experiencing unseasonably warm weather, so much so that we’ve had to turn the air back on.  WTF?  It was a warm 68 degrees at the train station yesterday morning. I got to work and it immediately got busy.  So much so, I didn’t fix my breakfast picky plate until nearly 11!  Weight Watchers sent me a boat load of their new cheeses...

I am loving this weather – when I left the house yesterday morning it was 48 degrees.  Love. When I got downtown the were handing out free yogurt on the corner right by my building, so duh, free food, of course I grabbed one.  Then quickly scanned it and realized it was 250 calories and 11 points – super high in sugar, so I gave...

Mother Nature has finally gotten the memo that it’s the end of September.  It was in the 60s on my way to the train station yesterday morning, and our high was only 68.  Perfect!  On Wednesday’s I treat myself to coffee from the coffee shop across the street from the train station. #treatyoself I need to make more of this banana bread – so good...

It was such a nice morning yesterday.  Did some blog work, had two cups of coffee and had this breakfast below before heading to my doctors appointment.  Four points – two for the egg and two for the ham. When I left the house at 10:30 it was already 85 degrees – it’s just so weird to be wearing flip flops surrounded by fallen leaves....

This weekend was all the feels.  Happy for my step-son Joe and his wife celebrating the beginning of his 28th year on this earth with a trip to Belize.  Then Friday remembering all the things I used to do for Tony’s birthday, and September 22nd no longer felt special to me – it was just another day.  I went out for Happy Hour as one...

Today would have been Tony’s 57th birthday.  I went to the DMV yesterday because I finally paid off Tony’s car and plan to sell it.  We each had a car in each of our names, not joint, to keep the debt/income ratio down.  It never dawned on me the last few months of his life to add me to the title to his car. There...

I can’t believe my step-son Joe is 28 years old today.  TWENTY EIGHT.  It seems like yesterday this is what our little family looked like.  Joe was 10 years old (a few months before turning 11) and Hannah was 8.   It’s still hard to believe that this picture was taken at my company picnic a mere three weeks after Tony and I met.  I...

While I prefer a sunny day over rain or overcast, a rainy day is my brother’s favorite.  I had to snap this pic and send it to him yesterday. I had more bubble up breakfast.  I think I am going to tweak this recipe over the weekend, adding more egg whites, veggies and reducing the biscuits.  I can’t believe I am about to say this...

I think my computer glitch yesterday was as simple as not shutting down my desk top 😛  I can’t remember the last time I rebooted it or shut it down, but now everything seems to be working.  I had about 10 minutes to spare yesterday morning and instead of jumping on Facebook, I took a 10 minute walk – low 60’s and foggy.  It was...
