Wow, it’s been a few days and what a few days it’s been!  I have been on the emotional roller coaster for three days now and I’m finally getting off. 

First – my weight.  I think my body is adjusting to a lot of things.  I went from a cold/wet to a hot/dry to a cold/wet in seven days.  The delicate balance in my sinus cavity was upset, my digestive system was upset, and I have been walking a tight rope of emotions this week.  My weight has fluctuated since last Sunday.  Up a pound, down a half, up a half, down a pound…it’s been its on roller coaster.  I have remained true on the WW program so I will have to be patient for everything to settle down.  It will be interesting tomorrow at WI.  No matter what the result, I will have to accept it and move on with my journey.  At this point, I don’t even know if I will show a half pound loss to earn my next five-pound sticker.   I will instead focus on the fact that my pants are getting baggy!  I think I’ve lost it all in my butt.

Second – I didn’t get the job I really wanted.  I did, however, get the other job!  The job is not a true admin asst role, but the other jobs expected aren’t bad.  This position will give me the foundation to change direction and go into project management if I so choose to do so.  Next to best of all, I was hoping for a 3% increase with the new job – fully expecting nothing, due to the economy, but I got a 6% increase!  But, BEST OF ALL – I will no longer be subjected to the evil one’s daily mental abuse!  My chains are gone and I’m free!  When I told the evil one I accepted another offer, she told me I can’t tell anyone until she makes the announcement.  That’s fine.  None of my co-workers talk to me anyways because they think I will snitch to the evil one.  In my two-years in this position, I have never given them reason not to trust me, but they don’t.  I think my predecessor must have done something – who knows?.

I had another interview on Wednesday and was offered the position late yesterday.  My husband took me to dinner to celebrate.  We went to Texas Road House.   We haven’t been there before.  Their menu was a little limited in the healthy department, but I had a grilled chicken salad – low fat dressing on the side.  I had a bite of my husband’s ribs and they were good.   I also had ¼ of a roll.  Just a bite, that’s all I needed.  I ate half of my salad and will have the other half for tonight’s dinner.  It was nice just going out and celebrating such good news!

The weather is crap.  Cold with snow/rain showers.  There will be no golf for us this weekend.  Hubby said something about going to the race book.  I love going to the race book if we get there early and get a good seat.  He hasn’t sent me any PDF’s of racing forms so I don’t know if we are going or not.  I hate handicapping at the last minute. 

The evil one is traveling today and Monday.  I will have an opportunity to move files/links that I will need to a place where I can get to them when I move.  I spent the morning filing and organizing things.  I wish she would make the announcement so I can start packing.  I can’t wait to get out!

Everyone – have a super duper weekend.
