Plugging along.  So far so good.  Still writing everything down.  This is a good thing as I need to hold myself accountable.  Trying to get in more exercise and focus on eating better. David has been doing ok.  I sometimes wonder if we should quit counseling altogether?  I feel like it is such a waste of time.   Still behind on my work and very frustrated.  Need to put in some more OT but a little burn out and tired.  This is really causing me to be less productive in the first place.  Do I rest for a few weeks and say "screw it" and let my work fall behind?  But sometimes working that extra time is physically exhausting but mentally exhilarating when I get things done.  Some I am stuck. Have to start decorating for Christmas.  I took off work Monday and Tuesday to start and get some shopping done.  Have already done some online shopping.   I am going to drive to Florida, just David and I, the Saturday after Christmas.  Paul will stay home with the puppy.  A little scary drivng all that way by myself.  It is a straight shot down I95, 1000 miles.  Will take 16 to 17 hours.  Paul and I have driven it together.  If I get tired I will just pull over and find a hotel.  I quit smoking and I am trying to lose weight.  So I can't smoke while driving (to keep me going) and I can't eat while driivng either.  Good thing I got the Sirius Satellite radio, the GPS and the Zune!  It will be nice to see my Dad though.  I miss him.  The other downer:  That only gives me Christmas day with my Wii that Santa is brining me!  I have to work the day after Christmas.  Oh well.
