Another Day in Paradise

Well, today was a lovely Monday, cold and yucky outside and my bed was way too warm and comfy at 5:30 AM. But I managed to haul myself up and out the door and into the real world once again. Work was crazy - I'm trying to juggle three major projects for 3 different bosses simultaneously, and I'm not sure how long I can keep it up. I managed to stay only 1/2 hour overtime but I DID finish up one of the projects, yea! I'm planning to go in early tomorrow and stay a little late again tomorrow and maybe I can keep afloat. And YES, I am turning in a time sheet for all of this - I got 3-1/2 hours OT last week and that adds up.

On a personal note, I'm feeling a bit better, emotionally but still having ups and downs. Deleting S from my cell phone was a freeing experience, though I haven't done that on my home phone yet but I will. I'm still struggling with getting my emotional eating under control, but one step at a time. I'd like to go work out at the gym but my foot is really hurting and, until I see the doctor about it on Thursday, I'm trying to take it easy.

I'm now talking to a new fellow from Yahoo Personals - I'll call this one R. Seems nice enough, has hair and teeth (and YES, that's an important thing - I'll explain that one sometime). But it's pretty early, we're just emailing so time will tell. I could write a BOOK about my internet dating experiences - and will try to get the highlights (and lowlights) on here at somepoint.

Ok here's the cute and funny story for the day. I had a long conversation with sister Jo yesterday (by the way, I haven't mentioned that I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers), and she related this tale about her little granddaughter, Scarlett. Scarlett is not quite 2 and adorable, and has a new baby brother, Jackson. Jo's husband Roy was visiting them and mentioned that, due to work, he was "pooped". Little Scarlet, hearing that, piped up with "Wipes!" and ran to get them to help her Pappy. AWWWWWWW how sweet! You can see her picture on Jo's blog, http://scrappily.blogspot.com/
