That would be the way to describe my life as of late!! I feel like all I have been doing is working, but if I stop and think I really have gotten a lot accomplished at home too. I really have been working extra hours, and those do tire me out...literally. As for the home front, I have completed some projects that have been on my to-do list for quite some time. The first one was to finally hang my hubby's (and my) diploma's from college. We have only lived here for 4 years so it was about time I dragged them out of the closet lol. Don't think I haven't hung anything on the walls these past 4 years, I have, but I never did find a place for our diplomas. The other project was to clean up my laundry room. Now this may not sound like a big deal to you, but my laundry room is half of my basement and isn't finished. Plus I had all sorts of garbage just laying on the floor. So now everything is bagged up, cleaned up and arranged so that it makes better use of the space. I even cleaned up most of the spider webs hanging from the pipes and floor joists lol.....it is still a yucky space, but closer to starting the finishing!
I bought a set of picture frames at Wal-Mart today, 10 frames for $10. The frames are plain black heavy plastic, but look nice and have glass too. So my next project is to put pictures in those frames and hang them!! We have always wanted to have a photo collage wall so this will get us started. (I even have a wall that I want to use ha!)
I didn't truly notice just how blah I have been lately. I knew all I wanted to do was sleep and I had no motivation, but I wasn't sad so I didn't really think of my depression......no worries I'm not sick again, just the Jan/Feb blahs. It sure does feel good to see the sun again and to have some motivation to get things done, but on the other side it is scary that I was so blah and didn't really truly notice. I have had a lot of stress with work so I contributed my feelings to that, but I should have been more aware so just how much I was being affected.
My weight loss journey is going well. I haven't lost any in the last while, but I haven't gained either! A co-worker from work gave me some jeans that no longer fit her (she is losing too) and I tried them on and they fit like a glove!!! It is so nice to wear clothes that fit! My other jeans were a 16 or an 18 and I could take them off without undoing them and the jeans that were given to me are 14s!!!! I don't have to suck in my gut or lay down to get them on either, they fit well and comfortably. I am hoping that now my energy and motivation seem to be coming back (along with spring) that I will beat this plateau and be in 12s before next fall. I guess we will see.
My baby girl is turning 10 on the 9th. I can hardly believe that it has been 10 years. For her birthday I told her that if she agreed to have either 1 girl for a sleepover or a couple girls over for the afternoon vs a big birthday party that I would take her clothes shopping and lunch just her and I. She thought that was a great idea! I am really looking forward to a girl's day. She isn't a baby any longer....
Well that is all for now, I have a busy weekend ahead with work, but vacation time coming up soon too!!
Enjoy the sun!
