I had a discussion about finding work to supplement my income and not have it tasking on my body like my current job. I would like to find an internet job and work from home, I could spend about 3 hours in the evenings and mornings too. I could work when ever I was home.
maybe I could do mystery shopping again?
review medical records?
I am not a very good writer and have a terrible memory.
What do you all think?
I talked to my dad today and he suggested doing something with the elderly, find another niche of services, maybe driving them to their appointments, filling up pill boxes but that would tie me down. I take about 5 weeks vacation a year so who would do that while I was gone???
I am thinking about starting to sell products, that is a whole different ball of wax.

Had a good time in new orleans. Ate well and stayed in a bed and breakfast place called the degas house. After edgar Degas the artist. back in the 1800's He stayed there and created some 18 pieces of art while living there for 6 months.
The tall ships boat ride was fun. Jeff had fun as well so that was good and he did not get sea sick, dramamine worked, he was sleepy though.
I over indulged with food and drink....seeing my Therapist on tuesday.
I chewed on my thumb hang nail ...it bled and I could not make it stop so went to a store and got some bandaids. This self abuse is not new for me.
I was doing so good, now this.

my hang nail is healing, nicely I might add.
Just need to leave it alone!
We are having electrical work done on our house. removing aluminum and replacing with copper outlets.
We are having a handy man do the work, young guy named chris.
He is the nephew of my friend so I trust him.
He is about half way done.
WE will be needing to change out our electrical fuse box. It is not right, did not trip the switch when one of the outlets blew/fried the outlet, we are lucky we did not start a fire. It fried the power strip and my cuisinart food processor. It was the last tangible item from my past marriage, a wedding gift from my mom. I did not use it much.
The new door is in, am waiting to hear from the painter to schedule a date for them to come and stain the door and install it of course.
Still have not gotten a bill from the foundation folks, am surprised about that. I am hoping they let us charge the bill. That way we earn cash back from the transaction, about $150.

Went to fat pats for a couple of beers after work and had jeff come over to have burgers for dinner. They were really good.

I am hiring a friend to clean the house on the first, jeff is just going to have to deal with it. The house is filthy again, cat hair everywhere. Today both my friend and the electric guy were coughing and sneezing. It was embarrassing.
Oh well.

It is festival international time (a free music festival)
and we have guests coming in tonight at 10pm.
They will be with us 3 days
I will try to limit myself on eating and drinking, my weight keeps gaining on me.
Have a great weekend! The weather is supposed to be perfect!

The festival was fun!!!
listened to some great music and saw some dancing as well.
guests leave tomorrow. It has been fun visiting them though my room is a mess!
I am so full. ate too much today and
drank too much as well.
Have to work in the morning....getting up at 730 to leave at 8 for an 830am appointment.
then will meet them for lunch at 1130am and such before taking them to the airport at 4;30pm.
I have a henna tattoo on my left hand. It is pretty. She said it would last about a week.

I think that I have figured out on piece of this drinking habit of mine.
Have been stopping by fat pats after work to have a beer or two before I go home. But when I am there I immediately get on my phone and go to facebook and spend a half an hour on there while having my beers.
I used to drink at the house but got out of the habit of that.
Today when I got home I actually changed my clothes and raked leaves in the front yard 3 barrels of magnolia leaves that are like a rubber plant leaves very leather like.I stopped raking just before getting blisters like last time. I also pulled a few weeds in flower beds and pulled some ivy that was making its way up the outside brick wall.
Our friends were so nice to us. Dan tidied up the back patio and bought us this beautiful planter today of double hot pink blossoms. He started up our fountain making it nice to sit out there and hear the trickling water.
So what was great about today...I worked for a couple of hours, The temperature was perfect. And it was dry enough that I did not sweat so there fore did not have to take a shower!(I just took one yesterday).
If I can do a small amount of yard work every day that will help .
The yard is so overwhelming...I usually just throw my hands up in the air and forget about it.I am going to pick up some more plants that are shade lovers and put them on the patio. Dan is a landscape guy so I respect his eye. He said a boston fern would be nice back there.
It felt great to be productive and get some work done.

I am not an early riser so will be doing some yard work in the evenings, after work instead of being on the computer all of the time.
I have been avoiding work. The weather has been so beautiful and a lovely spring. It will get hot soon enough. The yard waste folks come tomorrow.
I had our yard man trim our bushes and he trimmed them too short. I think it killed them. heavy sigh
They were so pretty. They look awful now, I hope they come back. I am sure my neighbors will be so upset, they were the ones to enjoy the blooming azaleas, hot pink in color. time will tell.

my SI joint has been bothering me.

Glad you got out in the yard. It’s a great feeling to accomplish something, especially if we have been procrastinating on it.

I am not well.
I should have showered this morning but am finding it hard to get up in the mornings. Need to hop into the shower.
Just realized that I am a month behind in my billing. usually I send bills out every 2 weeks. It has never been a month behind, I will have to apologize for being tardy.
Have been at pats every night this week.
While there, I met a potential new client. his name is Bob, I have spoken with him twice this past week. He said he wanted to treat his daughter and granddaughter to pedicures.
I gave him my card. Will see if he calls me.
My weight is up because we have been eating out more. Like tonigth we went to whole foods and had a couple of beers and ate a big cheese tray, it was huge!!Then we came home and had pork chops. Am stuffed!
Our handy man: Cris has one more switch to replace in the closet that he forgot about. He is coming in the morning.
All said and done it will cost us $600 instead of $3K if we had hired an electrician, from what he said.
Next project is the front door.
We have not gotten a bill from the foundation folks yet and that was weeks ago, wonder why?
Sigh

I really need to hop into the shower!!!!!!!!!

After work I stopped off at whole foods for a beer.
Then went home. Hubby knew that I went somewhere, so I told him.
I was going to do paper work and then if I finished I would go back to whole foods for trivia. Hubby was going over there earlier to grab a table for our friends. I ended up going to whole foods with him. As I did not want to drive after drinking a few beers. So trivia was fun. and we finished up at 8;15.
Came home and decided that I would put on some cat stevens and do my paper work. It took me 2 hours to send 24 bills and make a deposit.
I still have some filing to do.
So I am happy that I got my work done, I will finish the rest on sunday.
I also want to do some yard work sunday.
I work out of town saturday/tomorrow.
May the fourth be with you.

I am thinking I am quitting therapy.
I am just not able to get my life straightened out I feel like I am wasting money going to her. I am paying out of pocket for her....We still have that 4K deductible, which we will never meet unless one of us goes to the hospital, forbid. Not working on my issues because my addictions take up the whole time. Need to think about this...
I chewed the crap out of my thumb last night.

I saw Robin my tdoc today. We had a good session. Though I told her that I wanted to put our sessions on hold. Thru the years of therapy, That I felt like I was talking and talking and not really getting anywhere.
She pointed out that I avoided a lot of things, house hold work the yard that stopping by pats was a habit....
She said sometimes people need a break...so that is what we are doing.
She left the door wide open...I really like her.
I gave her a hug good bye.
I felt deflated.

We have complimentary tickets to see the symphony tonight at 7pm.
They are performing in a big st. johns cathedral along with the BREVE, early music singers.
I am really looking forward to going.
Just got a text that my mother got her plant that I sent for mothers day.
I think she liked it. LOL
I had a break at lunch so shopped for some food for the weekend at sandras health food store where I eat lunch most days.
homemade veggie soup, tabouli, salmon marinated already (one pound is 4 meals total and put those in the freezer.), talapia which is frozen so put it in the fridge to thaw and will invite our friend over to eat dinner with us.....
food glorious food!
I think we are going to have organic, grass fed beef franks(hot dogs) for dinner tonight.
What to wear for the symphony??? I have gained so much weight. Any thing goes really.
So I should not worry about it. I have black jeans to wear or black leggings with a fancy blouse that I wore at new years. It has some silver little studs for bling.
Have a great weekend yall!

The symphony was good except I kept falling asleep.
sigh
I was embarrassed because later I realized that friends of ours were directly behind us.
sigh
I slept very late today. I have been sleeping more lately.
Got out of bed at 1040am, went to bed at midnight last night.
Only had one night sweat that went away quickly thank goodness.
I am not going thru menopause gracefully.
today I get my hair colored and maybe cut. 3 months ago I had a botched cut somewhere other than aveda school where I normally go. I need for them to fix the problem.
Getting another hot flash....sigh
my hands sweat while working and makes it difficult to work with my tools, I keep having to wipe my hands off, and wiping my face off as the sweat will run into my eyes....
sigh
have a good saturday yall.

Hubby wants to go to a music trivia brewery with friends out of town today. There will be much drinking involved. I want to go to art walk instead. If I could find someone to go with me....I need more friends.

[bizi]

I ended up going to music trivia. The 2 other women there did not talk to me. I felt like an outsider. Which did not help my social anxiety issues.

Over all Had a ok time, ate way too much, 2 cups of a rice dish called jamblyia(sp?) with chicken and pork, and had a huge raspberry snow cone.
For every right answer you get a free beer. Their were 2 teams so we ended up each with 3 six packs of beer.

So they were all happy about that.
They are all musicians and this was music trivia.

Jeff is out of town for a couple of days. He is Vacationing with his guy pals at Galveston Texas. They rented a house near the beach. They plan on fishing and doing guy things and will be home late tuesday.

I have talapia and veggie soup and am trying to find a dinner date.
I don't like being alone as you know....
It is after noon and I have still not gotten ready for the day.
My hair cut and color turned out nice, though my grays came out lighter than the rest of the hair so it looks like a new high light which is good.
I put on some work clothes and plan to go out to lunch at the diner and will do some yard work this afternoon.
There is so much that needs to be done, it is overwhelming.
I have a friend coming over to clean the house monday afternoon, I need to get her some cleaning supplies and make a list of things that I want done....
Some time soon, I need to take the car into the shop to have the air conditioner trouble shooted. It is unreliable on long trips. It is just fine for my daily trips. But on 3 different long distance trips last year it gave out on us. Which was terrible.
Well I have had 3 cups of coffee and had better finish getting ready for the day.

maybe I won't drink today.

[bizi]

I have 4 barrels to fill and lots of leaves that need to be raked in the back yard. I forgot I need to do a load of laundry, my work scrubs. Have to baby sit the dryer otherwise they will wrinkle.
Lunch was good at the diner. I had 3 scrambled eggs with spinach and brocolli. Spoke with several servers there and the owner, it is nice to be a regular there.
Today starts my new diet, low carb and that doesn't include beer.
See if I can have an alcohol free day!!!!
bizi

[bizi]

My diet started today.
I was fairly low carb today.
Brunch was eggs and spinach and brocolli.
dinner from chipotle
onions and peppers and shredded pork and tomatoes and onions and hot sauce and cheese and sour cream.
It is hard to estimate how many carbs in this dinner.
I stayed away from the rice, beans and corn that I usually get.

I feel I got some things accomplished today:
2 loads of laundry, folded and put up.
Dishwasher loaded, ran and put away.
work supplies filled and ready for work tomorrow.
Went to the store and bought cleaning supplies.
Wrote out note with instructions for cleaning lady.
Bought a fern for the back patio.
Worked in the yard, raked up magnolia leaves into 3 barrels. Trimmed bushes and filled another barrel and created a yard waste pile. 2 hours of work and sweated some. I quit when the mosquitos started biting.
Went to chipotle for take out dinner.
Now am relaxing and getting ready to take a much needed shower.
Made it alcohol free.
So today was a great day!

Got up way early today even though I went to bed at midnight.Woke up at 5am and was hot so fanned myself and then laid there for half an hour then just decided to get up.
Have a client at 8:30 so still have plenty of time to goof off on line.
Have had 2 cups of coffee and am thinking about making another pot....
I showered quickly last night, not washing my hair. Could not believe how quick it was! Maybe I can get a shower cap and that would encourage me to take more showers???? and still only wash my hair twice a week????

I threw out the two remaining hard sparkling drinks....
