How on earth did I MISS a month??!?
Dec 15, 2009
I could check, but I really doubt that I've missed posting for an entire MONTH since I joined OH! So I suppose I'm due for an update, eh?Thing is - this far out, the notable moments are much fewer and farther between. That doesn't mean I'm any less grateful for getting my life back, for experiencing all the wonderful things that life in a "normal" body brings! I think it's just becoming more normal to ME. And that is a WONDERFUL THING!
I'm in size 14 jeans now - pretty sure that I won't go any lower, even if I drop another 15-20 pounds. And as much as I'd love to see a lower number on the scale, to be honest - I'm not sure I care if I lose any more? I'm pretty darn happy where I am! YES, I want to see ONEDERLAND - but will I stay there if/when I get there? I don't know. I really think I'll be fine right where I am, even tho I'm still a wee bit over 200, as long as I don't have to resort to buying 16's (OR HIGHER!) ever again. I'm a big girl, and I'm fine with that! 'cuz I'm no wheres NEAR as big as I once was!
What else? Christmas is coming - the XC Ski season has begun, so work is crazy busy - Rich is still unemployed, and the stress of that and the extreme drop in income have certainly taken their toll on us. I pray every night that God will lead him to a job that pays more than unemployment! It's just sad to reach this stage in life and be in a WORSE position than we were 15 years ago! The only thing that keeps me from going off the deep end sometimes is recognizing the fact that we are not alone in this predicament. At least MY job is solid - I'm very thankful for the fact that my position with the Park District is virtually bullet proof - and I'm knocking on wood and sending up a quick prayer that I didn't just jinx myself. I doubt it. Having been here almost 21 years, there are PLENTY of others who would get their walking papers before me.
Well anyway, I'll try to come here and share more gooder stuff.
Happy Holidays, if you're reading this!
