A busy weekend

Jun 28 2009 17:58

I didn't go to the gym but I don't feel to guilty about it. Yesterday I cleaned house and did laundry so I kept fairly busy. I did take a nap though.

Today I spent over 6 hours doing yard work so I think that should make up for the gym. I am tired tonight.

I go to work later tomorrow so I plan to go to the gym tomorrow before I go to work and then after work I need to do a few more things around the house. I would like to get the basement cleaned this week.

My daughter is at my mothers until next Sunday so I should be able to get something accomplised without her messing things up.

I best go and I think I am going to relax the rest of the evening. A little time for me which I don't take very often.

I will get there

No I did not make it to the gym. I ended up helping my husband do something instead. I am still whipped from yesterday.

I was quite busy at work today. I had meetings most of the morning and I am trying to get caught up on my care planning. Most of what I did today was desk work. We had a resident move to our unit from another unit today but that was most of that kind of activity. I am still behind but it is a little bit better.

I best go and get some stuff done. I want to get to bed early tonight. I was pretty sleep deprived.

I did eat mainly healthy things today so that part is better. It is back to salads and wheat products. My lunch is packeed for tomorrow so that kind of stuff should help and I have fruit and stuff packed to keep me out of the candy machine so I should be prepared.

I don't get it

I worked so hard last year to take of the weight and now this year I just gain. I have no motivation any more.

I thought I was getting it back and ready to get to the gym again and guess what I broke my toe. I don't seem to have enough hours in a day. This team leader position is going to get the best of me. There is not enough help to start with and the call in are horrible. I am just so stressed and depressed.

I need to find the will and it just doesn't seem to happen. I will keep looking for it and hopefully it will come back.

I do miss all of you

These last three months have had many down times. A part of me still wants to be here but so much has changed.

My new position leaves even less time for sleep because I am constantly getting call ins all times of the day and I get so tired that I just don't care. I work a lot of 16 hour days because there is not one to work and I get so frustrated.

My grandma died unexpectedly and here funeral was yesterday. I guess things are getting me to thinking again. I need to find a way to get myself back here. I need to try and find a schedule that works and just start letting them work short and maybe people will stop calling in all of the time. For as many times as I come in no one wanted to work the floor for me 2 hours so I could go to the funeral.

I best go and get off to my real world or working and when I can try and find a schedule that will work with my crazy life I will let you know.

I do miss all of you and I hope things will get better again.

I hope I can make it

I still have over an hour left to do by the first and I have a hectic schedule of events. I took a couple of days off. Sunday I was just very tired and Monday I had a lot of errands to do while I was off.

I have been to the gym the last couple of nights again and it feels very good. I walked in the lazy river and I miss how relaxing that can be. It sure helps with my stress.

I hope everyone has a great rest of the week and I have to go and pick up my daughter.

Another day

Oct 10 2008 20:31

I did go to work for 4 hours today and then I came home and did some laundry, picked up a few things around the house and went shopping. I picked up kids from school and then I took a nap. I made supper and then I had to help my husband fix the toilet. I got my dishes done and cleaned up the toilet mess.

I am off to the shower soon and to bed because I work at 5 am. Only tomorrow and Sunday left for them and then I should have to go in that early unless there is an emergency.

The only thing is when I start this other job my hair won't be thrown back in a pony every day so I will have to actually get up and fix it. Oh well.

I am hoping tomorrow to start my gym time again. If only this stupid cough would go away.

Been gone too long again

Oct 09 2008 20:13

I haven't been here for about a week now and I missed it. I am still not quite all the way over my cold but much better. My upstairs is cleaned, the camper is cleaned out and the garden is cleaned out. I am done with my 10 and 12 hour shifts and only have 2 night shifts to go. I am only working 40 hours a week pretty much on the next schedule so I will feel like I am on vacation.

I am going to go to the gym but until my cold is all the way better I will take it slow. I am more than ready to go back and get some energy. I haven't sat down much lately but it just isn't the same.

I best go and hit the bed soon because I am working on getting good sleep in a night because if I get too many people calling in starting the next schedule sleep will be hard to come by. Take care everyone and I will be back tomorrow.

I have been sick all week and I usually end up with asthmatic bronchitis if I don't get it under control pretty much right away but do you think I could get a Dr appointment. It took me three days to get in and I finally got an antibiodic. I am tired, stressed and have no idea how I am going to get things done.

I am off to take my medicine, a hot bath and my bed until 4 am when the stupid alarm will call me out of my bed. In 2 weeks from today I will kind of get to decide when I go to work. I will probably go in at 6:30 most days but it is 1 and 1/2 hours later than now and if something comes up oh well. I will just have to go back when I am done picking up kids from school. I better go and hit the tub because I hear my bed calling me.

More and more cleaning

Sep 29 2008 20:28

I have just been busy washing walls and shampooing carpets that I forgot to journal yesterday. I just have the two bedrooms left and I will work on them this week as time allows and finish them on the weekend if I don't get them done.

I do need to finish taking a couple of things out of the camper and clean out the garden so I will have plenty to do on my days off this weekend. I should be pretty much caught up then and back to the gym for me.

Tomorrow I sign my status change for my new position so I guess I will have to admit the others at work that I did apply. They are having so much fun with the rumors that I am trying to make them believe that I didn't. I was told the morning before I had my interview that they heard that I was the new team leader. I didn't even want anyone to know that I had applied but somehow the word got out. For the most part I haven't even admitted that I did to people. I don't know for sure when I officially start but I will find out tomorrow. The rumor at work is when I am done with my schedule but I still have a schedule to go so it won't be for another couple of weeks at least. I don't know how much of a raise I am getting either but maybe I should ask everyone else because they seem to know it all.

I best go and do the dishes so I can get off to bed. I hope I get some sleep because my husband has bronchitis and is continuously coughing. He did take a couple of days off from work and went to the doctor today to get some medicine.

I best go take care and have a good week.

I am getting more done

Sep 26 2008 19:06

I am finally almost done with the kitchen, hopefully I will finish it before I go to bed tonight. I am very tired because I only slept for about 3 hours today but I need to sleep tonight because I work at 5 am so I want to get to bed before too late.

I did get the job but I don't know for sure when I start it. The interview was kind of a wide awakening for what is in store. It will be quite challenging but here it goes. I guess I am suppose to stay late some days on the next schedule and do some training but the other team leaders are gone by the time I get done with my shifts the first half of the schedule so I will see what happens. It will come in its own time.

This is a record for me lately because it is my fourth day in a row journaling. The eating is still going alright. Still some room for improvement but a lot less junk and more healthy things even though I am tired. I have been so busy I almost forget to eat.

I better go and get some work done and hope everyone has a good day.
