Checkin in

last week was hell week at work. I donut know who did the planning, but they didn't put any thought into it. only that they had stuff to do ands it was gonna get dome no matter what. so here is what happened. we had about 3 or 4 people off the floor, which means they didn't work their regular job, all week from each department. add to that, 2nd shift is short people right now anyway. on saturday was our rewards and recognition dinner and i think people were off the floor doing last minute stuff for that. soo all this together meant overtime for the rest of us. it started wednesday night when a bunch of us went in early. early or over is 4 hours, so I was in at 8. I did get to go home at around 330, and went straight to bed. the next day, I had to work over, 4 hours, that was friday morning. then I was crewed in on friday night and had to work till 12 again. so add it up, two 12's in a row. I was exhausted. I only got to sleep a few hours before I had to get up and go to the dinner. since i put a deposit down of 40.00, i wanted it back so i went. i would have forfeited it had I not gone. I was so tired.

the next day, my sister and my niece that just graduated from the police academy came by and visited for a while. before they got here, i had to do some rearranging to the spare room so alex will have a dresser to use when he gets here. that too me all day almost. it seems i have been busy doing something all the time lately. not anything major, just small stuff that takes up a lot of time.

Ive been going to curves three times a week, except when i worked over time, and walking twice a week. I haven't stepped on the scale this week, I'm trying to stay off it. I have noticed a change in the way my work pants fit. I can pull on them and have extra room in the legs and the front. the waist is loose also, so I am happy with that. i am waiting for the day i have to find a belt to wear. i haven't had to wear a belt in i donut know how long. i am taking it slow, and not gonna expect too much too soon. its gonna come off slower than it got here, but i am still gonna try to get it gone. I'm tired of that other person following me around.

Alex is leaving Ok today and starting on his way home. he has to go close part of his bank and then he can leave. he is only bringing home what will fit in his car. i asked him to bring me a gallon of the zero degree window fluid. they cant sell it here cus it california and everything outside of breathing is illegal here. i think if they could get us all out of our cars, it would happen. anyway, he will be on his way home today. he is gonna make it to amarillo tonight and stop at the big texan for dinner. he is gonna take his time and stop and take pictures when he wants to. it will probably take forever to get through New Mexico. it is so pretty there, he will want to take a shot at everything. then there is a burger place in arizona called the heart attack grill he wants to stop at. he should be home by this weekend. its gonna be a long week.

well, i better hop on over to facebook and see whats going on over there. i need to get a border on a quilt, then go workout and head off to bed. I got tot come home early today, that's why i am awake enough to write this. so, see ya all later.
