Having trouble concentrating
Good morning. This is me. I started an entry earlier from home, so I will try to avoid overwriting what was down. I forgot to post before I left. I think I talked about Sweetie being out and us being at the gym swimming. I don’t think I put down too much otherwise. I had talked to Sweetie before he left, but otherwise was just trying to get ready … hmm, I was doing something … oh, I know I was ordering a bathing suit. I wonder if I could still do that. I had left my credit cards down in the car.Rich said before that he would give me one hundred for every 25 pounds lost … Hmm, so that equals about $4 a pound. Hadn’t thought of it that way before. Anyway, I might need all of it to order the suit. I decided that I should order from Kathryn’s to keep the Visa cleared. That way I’ll have the money by the time I get the card.
Back again, well the idea of a new card didn’t work out, but we did get the swimming suit. We talked to Rich … he said I jumped the gun because he was going to give me something when he went away next week, but I didn’t know that … and even if so would have requested the suit earlier. I’m pretty concerned about how I’m looking in the suit that’s too old and baggy. I told him the truth in that my chest is not being protected as it should. I can’t lay down in the water because if I took tension off the suit, I’d fall out. Heavens we’re not so promiscuous that we’d want a wardrobe malfunction!
Now I’m going to get settled down, right? Ok, girl breathe.
I’ve been back and forth this morning. I am training Karla the new staff to be doing the Leadership group on Thursdays and Fridays. She worked here before so there doesn’t have to be a lot of hard training. Sister will let her do her own thing next week. It’s kinda soon, but I think Sister saw the same thing I did. Chances were that my stuff is going to be too hard for her and it is taking a lot of time into my schedule. I know I know but I’m ordering swim suits and writing. I worry over that myself.
AND, I don’t know if I won’t have to do something for today’s staff training. I don’t know if Sister had something in mind, or if I’m going to need coming up with something myself. Rosa thought sister was at lunch, so I have to wait and see.
Maybe I should prepare something mentally so I don’t freak out when I finally catch up to her. What area are we even working in? I haven’t the faintest. Reminds me that we should be calling the first aid guy soon for the training first of November. I think we are going to need only doing a couple hours this time. I think that Carla is going to need sitting through that one.
AHA! First Friday of the month NO MEETINGS! Better get this posted … lost time to helping Carla or looking through nutrition and other reading/figuring material.
Earlier Post
Good morning. This is me … but, we’re pretty late today … It’s already 5:45 am. Rich has just left. We had the last 20 minutes to be talking. He had to go to work. BUT, he said that he’s going to be golfing this afternoon. Hehehe we gave him a LITTLE grief about that. Something about retiring early. He made his case though about going to work early enough to get in his 7-8 hours. I don’t know … cards last night and now this? He’s also going to be seeing his mother for dinner tonight. That will be good.
Rich was patient enough so he saw the book that I created last yesterday for my health. I was happy about that … he showed interest in some of my numbers too. He’s a big advocate that thinks I’m doing pretty good. He doesn’t think I eat enough, but that would only match our conception that he eats too much. Neither can persuade the other of their take on things. I’ll probably write more on the book when I get some more time. It became a preoccupation yesterday afternoon. Part of it comes from surveys taken from State Farm insurance, and the other part comes from surveys at Bally’s.
I first got the idea from Bally’s. They suggested making a journal and you could guess my feelings on that … WOOHOO!! A new journal?!!
Last night I went swimming and I had a so-so time. I had a little problems maintaining my lane, because a couple of people wanted to butt into it. But, I maintained. I think I have the right to do that though I’m not 100% sure. There was one guy would came after me and took the slowest lane. I didn’t think that was so much of a problem though he’d use my lane sometimes when he got in front of me. But, then there was another guy to the third open lane and he did ok the first part … he maintained his position and though next to me wasn’t bothering me, but then after he finished swimming, he decided to move over to my lane. He cut in 8-10 feet in front of me like there shouldn’t be a problem, but he was slowing down my lane and blocking me.
I couldn’t understand why he should have his lane and then have my lane too. I didn’t know what to do to him. And, he tried to stare me down or that’s what it seemed and I couldn’t help but to have my serious face on. At first I’d tried to smile and then look down, but he wasn’t going for that and I eventually gave up. Both swimmers were Chinese males. I didn’t know if that had anything to do with their aggressiveness. Both looked fairly well off businesswise. The one made me feel like I didn’t belong, but I pay the same dues as him and he was in the pool first – AND, I hadn’t bothered him, so didn’t feel I deserved this kind of grief, unless I’m doing something I don’t know is wrong. I think he thought that because he was a dominant male I should be more submissive like to have moved out of his way when he changed lanes. BUT, I didn’t want to be pushed around.
HMPF!
So that was that. I did get 60 laps in, the sauna and the whirlpool. I felt good about that. I worry still about my swim suit though. I had checked 4 stores that one day, and I’m thinking that I should probably just order another *sigh*
