OK - So today I am putting Tuesday and Wednesday into one post since they have pretty much become one big continuous day of stress! Ugh! There were admittedly some good points along the way, thanks to great friends! :) I guess I have to start with Monday night when my car died. :( That kept me out of work on Tuesday and I thought about renting a car for Wednesday in case my car was unable to get fixed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I didn't think of that option until late Tuesday night when I made the reservation at Enterprise, which began a series of unfortunate events! I know this story isn't specifically related to the topics in this blog, but I'll just finish my story and then start on the categories (cuz it sorta relates; bear with me). Anyway, I called my friend Don to ask him for a ride to Enterprise at 7:30 when he finished work. He came to get me and while he waited (He got to see firsthand how sneaky HK can be about taking her meds), I received a message from Enterprise (that I didn't see until we were on our way) stating that they did not have cars until the afternoon. I was going to call a few places right after I stopped at my car (still in the bank lot) and the bank parking lot Nazi stopped me and to tell me that my car can't stay there until the evening and that he "NEEDS" that spot or he's gonna tow my car!
NOTE** This post was started on Wednesday and I am finishing it now (On Saturday), so it's a bit disjointed. Sorry.
As you see from my "note" above, I started writing this and it's pretty much a venting session about my crappy experiences on Wednesday. To finish the above story, I called my brother Kevin and he thankfully gave me use of his AAA services (That's Triple A, not AA - although at this point alcohol should have been consumed! Ha ha). Anyway, in the end it all worked out and I had my car towed to Jamie and Rob's house, he fixed my car and even dropped it off for me. What a guy! :)
OK - So here we go with the categories. Some of this will be more like true confessions! Here's the first and the worst of them......
Food:
I started off with good intentions when Stacia and I went to dinner on Tuesday night. I thought I might be a "little" bad and I tried to make the smart choice for dinner so I ordered the salmon. I hemmed and hawed over what to order and ended up with the salmon because I figured it was healthier than pasta. It was good, but at dinner time, I was really wishing I ordered the pasta! LOL. I did also have a roll with butter, which was scrumptious! AND I had a glass of wine!
As if all of that wasn't bad enough, I pigged out on breakfast Wednesday morning! After I discovered that I had to have my car towed, I was stressed and I just ate everything in site! LOL That included pancakes, eggs, home fries, and bacon! If I'm gonna admit everything, I might as well put it all here. Someday, I will look back at this and be appalled (Ha ha!). And then at night I ate a giant candy bar! Then I just stopped keeping track! Yikes! See how that downward spiral happens?
Finance:
There is good and bad in this category. Let's begin with dinner.. Between the groupon that I had and my wonderful friend (You know who you are! :)), I didn't spend any money for dinner on Tuesday night. I was GOING to rent a car to go to work on Wednesday, but since that fell through, I saved about $50-$60 on a rental, not to mention the cost of gas and since I had personal days to use anyway, it wasn't really that big of a deal, although I felt bad and I had to catch up on things and make up visits, etc. The other positive is that I didn't have to pay to get the car towed because of Triple A. Finally, while I did have to pay $180 to get my car fixed, it was much less than I would have had to pay if I had to go to a "regular" garage. Thanks to my nephew Rob for taking care of me! :) And for the door-to-door service. I also spent money on said breakfast above and had to buy a phone card to continue my cell service. :)You know I can't live without a phone!
Fitness:
Ummm... I really have nothing to say in this category, except that I have been verrrrry, verrrry, verrrry, ......BAD! I will not make any excuses, but no boot camp and no running since Monday.
That's all for the Tuesday, Wednesday post!
