>Slow mo

>This computer seems to be moving in slow motion, kind of like how I feel. I have another follower, it makes me happy whenever I see that number go up.

Today was pretty much a do nothing day. Slept in, woke up with a bunch of little aches. So the early afternoon was spent watching Phineas and Ferb with Tigger. Fun times. I think I lost a few brain cells! Then I went to the store to find some cinnamon tea or some flavors for coffee for my oatmeal. Then I got dinner at Wing Sing. I should have drank some more water than I did. My weight will be up tomorrow.

>greetings from new york

>another cold day. Hey people, its New York, it’s January deal with it, not the time of year for shorts and t-shirts.

I had a bad tummy ache this morning, felt like an ulcer. When I came upstairs to leave, after beating myself up to get ready, Stitch was still in bed! So I missed my train and had to ride the dreaded express, the dreaded, crowded express so I didn’t get my make-up on or any of my book read. I also had to drop off my prescription since I am out and have to start taking it on Wednesday. It’s $70 but I get the money back from flex spending so that makes it a little better.

Now if this bad tummy ache and headache would just go away.

Maybe I shouldn’t have made it a goal to post every day. Some days are like today, with nothing for me to say. It is no wonder there are more followers on my book blog.

Today was WI for Weight Watchers, and I forgot again. Well, with my period and my stomach feeling the way it was, probably was ok I missed it. I also forgot to do any laundry today.

Tomorrow is my allergy shot, and Saturday Em and I are going to Manhattan. We are anxiously watching hte weather report, at first it was supposed to be a high of 15ºF. Now they are saying it is going to be above 20ºF. Woo Hoo! Em has an appointment at Lancôme for a facial and make-up application, I decided that instead of sitting around waiting for her, I will find someplace to get my nails done. So I googled nail salons and now I have a list of places to try. So maybe Saturday afternoon, I will have beautiful nails.

>Frigid day

>It was a good thing we didn’t go to Manhattan today. It was very cold. I went to get my lunch and my ears about froze off! I still have a little headache from the cold.

Yesterday when Tigger and I were driving around, we say this car and the only thing the drive had cleaned off were the lights and enough of the windows to see out off. We laughed at it, a snowcar! Today while I was waiting for the train, because I missed mine, I looked across the parking lot and saw just the opposite, a car without a trace of snow on it! The owner must have a garage. My little car has clean windows but the top still has a bunch of snow on it. It hasn’t gotten warm enough for the snow to melt and slide off.

Tigger wants to go into Manhattan tomorrow. Of course we can’t, I tried to explain it to him. He thinks I can just not go to work. I told him we can go another day, maybe next week. Em suggested next Monday. He was said he wants to go tomorrow because the temperature is supposed to get up to 50ºF. I didn’t see that when I looked at the weather report. I will have to check some other sites.

As for my Weight Watchers progress, I weighed 138.4 this morning, I have lost 1.8 pounds this week. That means I am only up 6.4 from when I first started Weight Watchers.

>No church today.

>Canceled, probably because of the snow. I don’t know for a fact because I have not been upstairs yet.

Last night when I plugged in my I-pod to add the song Tigger bought, I-tunes said it had an update, so I downloaded it, then the computer said it need to restart so I said O.K., well the computer froze on the restart. I had to unplug the laptop and wait for it to shutdown, I turned it back on so and it was still frozen! So I unplugged it again, it turned off, I waited an hour, still frozen. So I unplugged it and left it over night. As you can see, it is working now but when I woke up this morning I was a little unsure about turning it on, when I did, I got the frozen screen said Oh No, then it went off and the computer finished the start up. I should remember from now on, to shut down the computer, this has happened before.

So now I am just sitting here blogging and listening to the radio, I just combined Tigger’s station with mine. OK, I don’t really like this song, but its not horrible. I clicked ‘I don’t like this song’ once before and I got this cute message, “We’re sorry! We’ll never play it again.”

Anyway, I forgot to check back in with Weight Watchers message boards so I need to do that now.

>up and down today

>Today has been kind of an up and down day. First thing my weight today is 140.2 which is 25 pounds heavier than I want to be but it’s the same as the last time I tracked so that is good. Then since I got up late so decided I would catch the 6:44 and I missed it. Pulled into the parking lot as it was coming toward the station. So I had to wait for the 7:05 express. I hate the express. It wasn’t too bad today, I found a seat with an extra seat I could put one my bags on so I was able to read.

The other down today was I had cramps like you would not believe. This is the last day so I don’t know why my cramps were so bad. Then an up was my new Chase card came. Tigger is excited too. I told him I needed him to buy songs so I wouldn’t get charged a fee on my checking account.

Another up was it was a beautiful day. The temperature was in the 60’s, of course tomorrow they are going to be down in the 40’s. I also checked on the forms online and I can set up Direct Depost to my Chase account for a set amount so I am going to do that.

A funny thing that happened is I set up Mailbox Monday to post this morning, I was checking my blog on my phone and the post wasn’t there, I finally figured out I was checking the wrong blog!

>Hitting the bed

>Well not really, really I just going to wash my face take out my contacts, clean the litter box, take my pill and crawl under my blankets and pull them up to my cheekbones. Then I am going to pray that the temperature drops and the roads ice over so I don’t have to go to work tomorrow.

Lady K got her package. Reminds me I need to go back to the thread and thank her mom for telling me. I was starting to get a little worried because my mom got hers on Tuesday and my mom is on the west coast, her mom said she has already written a note to her Grandma.

I finished my book so I watched 2 episodes of L&O:CI on the way home from work. I think I might begin to love long train rides. So now I have to finish the few things I need to do on here and then go to bed.

>Strange dream

>I had a very strange dream last night. I dreamed I was at a WW meeting (I am a WW member but I am online only) and Dayna was the leader (she is no longer a leader) and I was trying to explain to her my reasoning for journaling and not counting points. She kept looking at me. Just looking, she didn’t say anything. Anyway, now I have decided that tomorrow morning I have to weigh myself and I have to start using the online tracker to count my points. No more fooling around.

Speaking of dreams, I also dreamed that someone was in our basement, but it wasn’t our basement, it was more like the basement at work but the doors wouldn’t close and lock. Then someone else came and hit me and tried to beat me up but it didn’t hurt and I couldn’t defend myself. That was when I realized it was a dream, I had some other weird dreams that I can remember but can’t describe. Does that ever happen to you?

There was something else I was going to say about yesterday, but I can’t remember it. Anyway I have to get ready for the meeting so I really should go now.

>New Rochelle

>I overslept this morning, I missed the Book Study. Em called and wants to go shopping at a mall in New Rochelle. She doesn’t know where it is. I don’t even know where New Rochelle is. I had better get dressed, I think she wanted to leave by now.

I am thinking about canceling my WW membership. I am not using anything but the message boards. I am giving it this month and if I don’t consistently use the online tracker I am canceling. I can still post on the message boards, I just won’t have access to the whole site.

We did not go to the place in New Rochelle. Em found out it didn’t have many stores, mainly restaurants. So we went to the Palisades. It was so crowded I had to drop her off and drive around looking for a parking space. So I parked in Home Depot, except there is not an entrance to the mall from Home Depot and not wanting to walk around on the road I walked up the hill over the grass to the parking lot and over the guard rail, well, other people were doing it with no problem you know? I guess if you are only 5 feet tall and like to wear tight jeans, you shouldn’t try to hop over a guard rail. Well, I wasn’t really hopping but I tried to just swing my leg over and not touch the guard rail cause it was wet. Well, I touched it all right! I have a bruised backside, it hurts to even sit on my bed. I should have sat on an ice pack when I got home.

I got a new jacket and Em got a new red sweater and some tinted moisturizer from Lancôme. The jacket is to replace my leather jacket. I got some leather lotion and it was either the wrong lotion or I put it on wrong but now the jacket looks worse than before I put the lotion on. This new jacket is navy blue and matches the NYPD hat I got in the City.

>Sunday afternoon

>Just a quick hello, I am off to the gym and don’t want to miss Em, like I usually do when I dawdle when we take separate cars cause we each have something to do. I am leaving my computer open because my WW post hasn’t posted yet. I will be back after gym and getting a coffee or some food or something.

Weighed myself this morning and I was 137.6, that is not too bad considering how off program I have been lately.

So I actually feel like I did something today. I got to Allsport and exercised and showered. Then I went to Borders and didn’t buy anything, not even a snack. I did stop at Taco Bell first though. Then I went to Target to get some cards and an envelope to mail that stamp I found to Cookie. I hope she likes it. I also got a card for Don and Sally, a little late, so I got a blank card with a pretty picture on it so I can just say, I am sorry I was a dork and didn’t send you a sympathy card, but here is a card to let you know I am thinking of you. Think they will like it? The other card has four vases with flowers in them, I bought it because it was pretty and the envelope is lavender. I got the card written to Cookie and the envelope address. I will do Don and Sally’s later. I really want to get to bed early tonight.

Also today I rubbed the leather lotion all over my coat. Now tomorrow night I have to show Gwen how to do it. She wanted me to do it and I said, “You are an adult, you can take care of your own clothes.” So now she expects me to show her how to do it.

Now it is time to check my other blogs (that I follow) and my e-mail and maybe go to bed.

>Weight Watchers Progress

>I keep forgetting to do this. My weight is 136.6 lbs. In the 14 weeks since I recommitted I have lost 5.2 pounds. That is an average of 0.4 per week. I am 4.6 pounds heavier then when I first joined WW. It may not seem like a lot, but since I only have about twenty pounds to lose it is a lot to me and as someone said, I am going in the right direction now.

On another totally unrelated subject, when I was looking up tea at Amazon, and saw that PG Tips was $8 for a box, I decided that I would try to find PG Tips locally and if it wasn’t too expensive buy it. Hannaford’s had it, I wasn’t too surprised by that, and even though it was twice the price of the tea I normally buy, it was actually less then Twinings. It comes in these cute triangle bags, well actually they are a pyramid, no string but the bag came to the top of the water so I could grab it with my fingers. As for the taste, mmm I love tea.

Tonight when I was trying to make a cup with dinner, the pot kept turning off but the water wasn’t boiled, Fred was turning it off, he thought it was turning on by itself! Such a silly boy. Now I have to go get Gwen. I will be back later.
