Not feeling so good.
So, either the lack of being OP, or eating as well as I should be, my stress levels OR the lack of exercise is causing me to feel like shit. It started yesterday, that horrible stomach aching, turning whatever feeling that makes me uncomfortable all day. The lack of proper sleep in the mornings is also getting to me - but maybe it's all my own fault. I haven't been eating HORRIBLE 24/7, but it hasn't been good either. Somehow, every day I seem to find something not good for me to consume. If it's a large amount or not, i'm still eating something i should be saving for a special day instead of making it a regular event. I really need to get back on the wagon, but I just ca't seem to find that motivation. I've been forcing myself to take the 3 flights of stairs to the 4th floor of my building once a day. Today at break I literally forced myself to go for a walk around the block. But that's about it.
Anyway, Matt will be here soon. The days are quickly passing, and I'm VERY excited. I've missed him so much, and can't wait to spend some quality time with my Goober. Hopefully things here at the condo will be running a little smoother by the time he arrives, I'd hate to have him here and have no hot water - it's one thing for me to deal with, but not a guest. So they have about a week to get that under control before it'll really REALLY piss me off.
Alright, I'll talk to you all later. Have a good day, and a good weekend!

Post #200!
Morning everyone.!
So, not much is new at the moment, I'm sitting at my new desk, with my computer finally hooked up though - so that's sweet. I really hate not being able to do the things I need to get done until I get to work to use their email and internet. Thanks to my Mom and Dad who are fantastic and came to help me on Sunday to put the desk together and put up some shelves in my bedroom. My Mom sewed all my drapes and they look fantastic. I don't know what I would have done without them - they have been an amazing help in getting my place to look the way that it does. Special thanks also to Brenda and Pete who helped me move on Oct 14th - it was really nice to have their support also.
Now for the news that isn't so happy? We're without hot water - again. I mean, it's not even warm or luke warm.. it's just luke cold. I mean, it's not ice cold, but it's not comfortable to stand in for more than a few seconds. Apparently its been like that all weekend, I wasn't here Saturday, but yesterday it was off, and this morning still - jerks. I've had enough of these people - they better believe that I'll be asking for an adjustment of payment when the time to close comes.
I had my first horrible experience on the Hwy - I got on, on Friday night and it was jammed. Apparently there had been an accident. So, instead of reversing up the on ramp (Next time, you better believe that's the plan.) I just waited to get into the long line of not moving traffic. From the entrance ramp I got on, to the first exit ramp (~ 5 min drive) it took me 2.5 hours!!! My call was overheating because when it idles like that, it just gets too hot. So I had to pull off to the side of the road 4 - 5 times to let it cool down before I got back into the line. Important tip: Run the heat in your car to cool it down, I never knew this, until about five seconds before I got off the Hwy. By this time it was 8:30pm and I just wanted to go back home. So I got off the hwy and couldn't even see a ramp to get back on, so I decided fine - I'll take back roads to get home. (thank god I had a map!) So I drove and drove and drove. I got lost twice and had to ask for directions. In total, it took me 5 hours to get home on Friday night, instead of the usual 1.5 - 2 hours. It was horrible, but I made it... heh.
AND I guess that's it people. There isn't much to tell about my weight, I'm pretty much maintaining where I was - I seem to be having a hard time focusing on getting back into a routine, I guess because so much has changed it all just seems so out of order. I'd like to do some cleaning and organizing tonight, as well as shopping for food, and more laundry. So, my days are very full. I'll let you know once I'm back to counting pnts and such though - hope you are all having a good morning, and I'll try to stop by some Blogs some time tonight.

Whew!
Ok, people, I was honest when I said for the past 4 weeks or so I haven't been counting pnts, haven't exactly been eating right - but of course I also haven't been over eating when I can avoid it. I've been worried with every passing day that I'm gaining and gaining all that weight that I've lost - GOOD NEWS!!!! I maintained and let me tell you, that's more than I could have asked for. I'm so glad, and now I can relax and just try to get back into a routine so I'm back on the ball with things.
The condo stuff is slowly coming into a comfortable zone for me - I love my space, and love the things I've filled it with - of course there are plenty of issues with the builder and such. I moved in on Oct 14th and didn't have warm water until the 17th or 18th, I can't remember. We still don't have HOT water, just warm water. Honestly, the list of things that need to be done is huge, and I sent a rather irritated email to the VP of Lancer yesterday to complain further. The only reason the email was huge and angry was because she was ignoring what I was saying and also was trying to pass me off to that Twit - which we all know I hate - Catherine. We'll see where this gets me, they don't have my money yet for next month - and if they want it, I suggest they take the time to address the concerns I've voiced. My lawyer is involved, so he's keeping tabs on things for me hopefully.
The new job is going well, it's busy. I guess I feel like it's busier than my old job in Stouffville only because I'm doing different and more smaller tasks as well as the exact job that I was doing in the first place. I like it, it's newer, and different and it was definately time for a change.
Ok, well, I guess I should get ready for the morning, just wanted to give you all a bit more of an update - I still haven't had time to check all your Blogs and such, but I don't have a computer set up at home yet, that'll take some time until I find a desk I want. Oh, one final note, Matthew is going to be here in 16 days! So exciting. Ok, talk to you all later!

I'm not dead! Promise!!
I'm sorry I haven't updated in like - FOREVER - Mishy has demanded that I make an appearance to let everyone know that I'm here, and not dead, and still breathing. I don't have much time at the moment. But I wanted to just drop a note to all you lovely people and say that I hope you're all doing MUCH better than I am with the pnts and such. My back is finally starting to feel better - the move went alright, and the new job is busy. I'll update in more detail later, huggles all!!

Starting to feel better...
So, here's the deal. I hurt my back over a week ago - and have so far missed about 3 days of work, gone to the doctors and been laid up for like... 5 days. It's been a difficult 10 days, filled with a lot of pain, frustration, anger and over all irritation towards the situation. It has kept me from doing a lot of getting ready for the condo, used up all my sick time at work, etc.
Finally, it seems to slowly be getting better. Although it still hurts, I'm able to make it through the day of work on painkillers and anti-inflamitories (sp?). I've been putting an ice pack on at home, and my Mother has been taking care of me and letting me borrow her vehicle since it's higher up and "easier" to climb in and out of than my low resting Honda Accord.
This is going to all be quick updates, I want to walk around a bit before lunch is over to ease up on my back and hips. Tomorrow I am going to Cambridge, and for the first time will step foot into my Condo - I can't tell you how exciting that is! They finally took my upgrade chqs - 4 months late, but whatever. Next week will be the Interim closing and on the 14th I should be moving into my place - Eep! I'm nervous and excited. Going to miss my friends at work and my Mom at home so freakin much... ~pouts~ But everything must change, and things will be fine, I know.
Eating has been ify lately. Exercise non-existant since I can't do much besides walk across a room once or twice. So, no loss after 2wks, which puts me behind on my goal... but hopefully things will get better soon.
Ok, that's it for now. I miss you all! Huggles to everyone and be good, eat healthy and exercise lots! Talk to you all soon, and I'll try to find time to read all your Blogs once I'm feeling a bit better.
Out!

No Time!
I had a very busy night Friday, a very busy day yesterday and today looks ot be shaping up in much the same fashion. I don't have time to Blog right now, I'm supposed to be getting ready so we can make yet another trip to Ikea to pick up items I've decided to buy. I bought my entertainment unit yesterday, and today I'm picking up the bed frame - that's right folks - I finally decided on a freakin bed. Geeze. Alright, no time to talk - have a wonderful Sunday everyone.

Ok, Here's the Plan.
So, last night I got myself motivated enough to come up with a plan of action for condo stuff and other stuff in general. I made a list, each page has the date on it, and for each day, I've assigned myself tasks to complete - that way, I wont forget anything, and hopefully everything will be completed in time. Today's list is longer than most of the others - it was also a way to keep me focused on certain tasks instead of freaking out about the millions of things that need to be done. Honestly, I can't wait for the move - and I'm excited to be out on my own, but lets just do it already.. this freaking out about the lead up to it is painful. ~laughs~
Anyway, nothing is new really. I friggin missed The Office last night because apparently they moved it to 8pm - you know, the same time friggin Greys and Survivor is on, bleh. Pissed me off when I was frantically looking for it and Mishy informed me it was already on. Boo. Oh well, I guess I'll just catch it next week - Hell, once I move if I'm not getting cable I'll not be able to watch any of my shows... so I guess it doesn't matter.
I suppose that's all I have to say for now, hope everyone has a good day. It's still very early here, so I'm not sure what the weather will be like today - here's hopin cool and sunny! ~fingers crossed~ I so need to go buy new Fall/Winter clothing.

Casual Thursday.
Hey everyone, how's it goin?
Nuffin new here really, I've decided it's time I get excited - Jazzed if you will - about the condo, about life, about how lucky I am and how much I have and how many wonderful people are around me. Ok ok, no, I'm not a super positive person, I think saying I'm positive at all would be streching it - but I'm gunna try, it's all I can do - right? So, for the next couple days I'm going to try and get things figured out with myself, try to get onto a good track and ENJOY the moments that are happening all around me. I want to be excited about everything coming up in my future, enough with the freaking out 24/7.
My weight loss is going well, I'm staying OP each day, I'm not exercising AS much as I'd like - but that's easily changed, just a bit more effort on my part will help with that. Anyway, I don't have much time and I'd like to check some other Blogs - so have a healthy day all.
I almost forgot!! Don't forget to watch the Office tonight people! We find out what happens between Pam and Jim (swoon) I can't tell you how flippin excited I am. Also, did anyone happen to catch Jericho last night? Did anyone think it had poor acting?? I dunno, I watched it, and just wasn't all that impressed. I was so hoping it would be one of my new fav shows and I think it lacked something huge last night. I mean, is the entire show going to be a - Be afraid, everyone is out to get you - kinda thing?? I mean, I've kinda had enough of the media and government shoving bullshit down our throats - so now they thought they'd take a different approach and try to put the fear into us through a new entertainment show? Dunno, it was weak - that's all I'm saying. Come back to the board when you have something new to show me. Then again, I'm not a Prison Break or 24 fan.. and maybe it's along those lines and it's just not my type of show? Anyone like it? Didn't?

The job is mine!
I got it, it's finally offical. My last day at the current office will be Oct 13th and the first day at the new one will be Oct 16th. I move in, obviously, on the 14th and 15th. ~laughs~ I can't believe it's almost here! That's freakin nuts.. there's still SO much stuff to do.. I'm not ready yet! Eep. Short post, I know, but I'm going in early again for overtime this morning. I really, really need the money. Was going to say you have no idea how badly - but I'm sure that's not true, everyone needs money.. so I'm sure you understand what it's like to be short on it.
Alrighty, have a wicked day, and eat healthy people!
12:35pm Update:
Ok, I'm blogging about this - but I'm not going to mention any names. But, it was too funny / odd not to share I thought, and so here I am, telling all of you lovely people. If the person who this is about reads this, and is offended... well... to each their own? heh. So without further delay, here is the conversation that occured:
Person: I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to see if I need surgery.
Moi: Surgery? What for? (Too personal since I barely know the person? Maybe. They brought it up!)
Person: I have kidney stones.
Moi: Really? Wow, it seems like everyone these days has stones and is having surgery for it.
Person: Yeah well, it's because when I was a kid, I used to go outside and eat mud and stones - you know how kids are.
Moi: (I laugh, confused not by the fact that kids eat stones and mud - sure they do. But because she thinks kidney stones and regular outside on the ground stones are the same??) Yeah, kids eat crazy things.
Person: My Mom thinks I'm weird, but even now, when it rains... it just smells so good..... (trails off)
........... what was I supposed to say to that?! I just laughed and tried to process it in my mind - it was difficult. She wants to eat mud? And thus ends story time.

I don't really have time...
Morning, I don't have much time, like four minutes or less to write this. Sorry I didn't write for awhile, I've been away - Worked 5hrs of overtime on Saturday. Drove up to Cambridge on Sunday, my car broke hello another $300 repair. Was stranded in Cambridge the entire day, had my "interview" at the Kitchener office which went well - I stayed until 3pm since I couldn't make it back to my office - plus, my stupid car was still broken and where the Hell else was I supposed to go? Left Cambridge around 5:30pm and got home about 1 1/2 later or so - through a long, rainy drive that gave me one Hell of a headache. Whew, well, that was as short as I could make that story - hope you're all having a good day - I'm off to work, early, to work some more overtime - ~whimper~ See ya.

Busy weekend.
It's been a busy weekend for me so far!
Last night Mishy and I went out to dinner, she drove us to Ikea and I spent near $300 on dishes, a light, etc for the condo. There's still so much to buy, I can't believe how much stuff I need! Eep.
So, we were attacked by spiders on the way home - YES - I said attacked. We were driving in the car, and thinking about the gross story that Mishy had told me about imported rug spiders from Ikea and then suddenly.. one of those horrible clear house spiders. crawled in the creepy way spiders crawl, down the windshield of the car. I made a short eep sound and pointed - Mishy immediately turned on the wipers - but it was no good! The damn thing was outta reach. So in hopes of getting it anyway, she tried to spray it with washer fluid - the damn thing dodged like it was a ninja or some shit and then crawled back onto the roof of the car where we couldn't see it. On edge now, the two of us openly hoped that by driving a mere 60kms would cause enough wind over the car for the damn thing to be blown off. Our hopes were dashed when it crawled down my side window at the next set of lights. Screaming occured, I'll be honest with you. The thing continued to crawl in and our of our sights for a couple blocks until a SECOND spider joined it.. now that was just creepy. More screaming. We were beignning to believe that they were everywhere - inside the car, coving the car - waiting to ambush us at the exact right moment. Eventually, one of the two spiders met his death when he crawled too far down the windshield and Mishy threw those wipers into action - smeared! Sucka. The second, of course, sensing the danger crawled inside the side view mirror for cover - no amount of smacking with Mishy's shoe would coax him out - so hopefully he leaves on his own. It was difficult to get out of the car, I'll tell you that much. But, as you can see - I'm alive, and as far as I know... Mishy made it home safely and unharmed by the Spiders. (Save for a few shaken nerves.. heh)
ANYWAY, so this morning and convinced myself to get up out of bed and headed into work to work 5 hours of overtime. I need the money, but I definately do not need the more work. Heh. Since I've been home I managed to bag up and box up like 4 containers of Good Will stuff.. trying to clean out my bedroom of junk and start to get ready to pack up all my stuff to get out of here next month - I can't believe it's only a MONTH away!
Ok, and this is way more than I've typed in a long, long time. So I'm done now. Have a good day all.

Argh!!!!
Stress just likes to pour in around me these days.. I'm like a magnet for it, or maybe I just welcome it - who the Hell knows. I'm sick of it, I know that much. My car broke about a week ago - $700 later that piece of shit is working again. Money I really didn't have to spend, but had to. Then yesterday, I'm sitting in the Tim Hortons line and the fuckin thing almost over heats!!! Not good. I can't afford to get it checked, so I'll have to hope it doesn't do this any other time than when I'm craving a tea from Tims.. heh. The Moron from the condo - Cathrine G. - mails me a letter that I'm sure was supposed to be a confirmation of dates but was entirely wrong and mixed everything up. In a frantic, angry panic I called her personal cell to find out immediately what the fuck was going on... to which she replies "Hehehe, I don't write the letters, or read them, I just sign them and assume they're right." You, my dear, are an Ass. I have to drive to the Kitchener office on Monday, and I hate driving when I don't know where I'm going - freaks me out! Argh, it's going to be a stressful day on Monday. And now, I have to go have my shower so I make it to work on time - I should be doing overtime tonight, but I just don't have it in me - plus I've made plans with Mishy to go to Ikea. However, I might work on Saturday - just what I need, more work. Heh. Anyway, peace out, have a great day all.. and here's hoping the entire day isn't filled with rain again.

Nuffin goin on.
I have nothing much to say for today. I'm at work, supposed to have an interview today or tomorrow. I met Kathryn for like a second when she first got here - and now I'm just waiting to see if she comes to talk to me today. I'm not very focused today, not sure why. I seem to have a lot on my mind - oh well. Anyway, have a good Hump Day everyone.

Rain . . . ?
It's supposed to rain today, which means I prolly wont get much walking in at work today - which also means I'll be trapped in the building! Eeepp! No biggie I guess, whatever. I'll manage a day indoors just fine I'm sure. Just means that tonight for exercising I'll have to come home and do a DVD or something, some weights maybe. We'll see what I decide on later today. I'm sitting here, when I should be upstairs getting ready for work, making a lunch, and yet I continue to sit here infront of my computer - not entirely wanting to go to work today. Tomorrow or the following day I have an interview with the supervisor for the Kitchener office - to which I will hopefully - fingers crossed - be transferring to next month. It really would make my life much easier to just HAVE a job there waiting for me instead of having to search for one.
Ok ok, I really have to go otherwise I'm going to be late. Have a good day everyone.
12:05pm Update:
Gah! I can't believe how much 2pnts makes as a difference! I feel like during the day I use up too many pnts now. Really, if I have 6pnts for breakfast, and 7 - 9 pnts for lunch and a 2pnt snack then I've used up 17 of my 26 pnts!! Usually I like to have at LEAST 10 pnts for dinner so I can have something filling so I don't snack at night.. this is crazy! If I have one off day now where I eat too much at lunch I dunno what I'll have for dinner. Darn it. I have to figure out how to work with lower pnt amounts.. because it's only going to get lower and lower. ~Small panic~ You know. I guess I could have had half my sandwich now, and half later.. and then avoided a 2pnt snack all together - duh. Ok, I need to think more about this.
So, I'm aiming for around 30 minutes a day of exercising. I don't want to push myself too much because then I end up being sore all the time, so I figured as long as I was getting 30 minutes each day, then it's good. That means there isn't a day that goes by where I haven't done some form of exercising, ya know? Anyway, I'm gunna maybe go for a walk here before my lunch is over. Have a good day everyone!

System is Toast.
I've been sitting here at work since 7:45am doing nothing - the system is down. It's been a long time of staring at the screen, hitting refresh, and doing tiny other jobs that mean nothing. It's going to be a long, long day. For all of you who wanted to see pictures of my lights, you can visit my Condo Journey Blog - I put them up on there. They are so pretty and I'm so excited!
I'm going to try and get back into keeping track of pnts and such, wish me luck!!

Two posts, can you believe it?!

Just another short one. To update my 101 Things in 1001 Days list.
"Learn how to cook something new that's fantastic and yummy" Well, I baked myself a Pear Pie yesterday, and I'm counting this. It wasn't hard - but it was what I consider baking and therefore - since I NEVER bake - I'm counting it!! There are plently of other things I've learned to cook since I made the list also - so I can throw them all in there also if you like. But Mm Mmm Mmmm that pie was tasty. #15 is OFF the list!
"Visit Lori at her new house." I did this a couple weekends ago, Mishy and I drove up to Cambridge, did some measuring of the condo and then went out for dinner with Lori and Lawrence. Showed Mishy Lori's very large, very pretty house. So this one is also off the list! #29 is complete!
I guess that's it folks. I would write more - but again, just don't feel like it. Doing fine with exercise and pnts. Though without writing pnts down each day I find it a bit harder to keep track. I'll try to come back, promise. I might be going out today to buy some lights for my condo - they were so pretty. So, we'll see. Have a good day.
Out!

I keep trying...
I keep trying to post on here.. and I just can't do it. I don't want to, or don't have anything to say... half way through all the posts I've tried I delete them out of irritation.
Quickly though? I'm doing fine, I've been staying OP pretty much - which is the 26pnts instead of 28pnts. I can tell the difference, even though it's only 2pnts. I'm exercising, less than I was though. And now I have to go, because I can feel the irritation building. I'll try to post on a day when I'm less irritated.
