A LIttle Better

Well, I am doing a little better.  I did a long distance drive on Monday.  I was very beat and it was pouring rain all day.  Bad fire in Pottsville PA.  So far this week I have only gotten 2 new fires.  So Tuesday, Wednesday, today and tomorrow, I am working from home.  I am beginning to see a noticeable decrease in the piles, as well as the phone calls of screaming people!  Phew!  Thank God!  I am very tired of the cold and desperate for Spring and warmer, sunnier weather!  Even if we got some sun once in a while, I would feel better but it has been cold and blah. I woke up today and felt sick again.  I thought for a while that maybe it was stress and something I ate.  But Paul wasn't feeling good last night either.  And my eating this week is much better.  So maybe I am coming down with something?  I should have taken Pepto Bismol.  I have been somewhat back on track with eating since Monday.  Only got to the Y on Monday so far this week and then Tuesday took the dog for a nice walk.  So steps for those two days were 9500 and 10000.  Last week's steps were horrible.  Yesterday was only 4100.  So I have to get those back on track.  I will try to get to the Y tomorrow AM.   Movie recommendation:  I watched "My Sister's Keeper" with Cameron Diaz the other day.  Wow!  The book I think was written by Jodi Piccoult.  I read "Nineteen Minutes" by the same author.  This one will need at least 1 full tissue box.  The book/movie is about a girl who was a test tube baby and was "made" because her sister had cancer and they needed bone marrow and a kidney to match to save her life.  All I can say is "Wow" and pass the tissues!  Very good movie!  Can't watch this one a treadmill I am afraid! I am also reading Stephen King's latest:  "Under the Dome."  Anyone who has ever read King, knows he is wordy.  But this one is 1088 pages!  Phew!  I am almost 1/2 way through.  I think this is one of my favorites.   Other than that, same old same old.  Paul has been sorta cleaning and putting stuff away.   I know you guys ALL told me to quit sweating the size and I agree, but my mom called me today.  My sister is down to 140 lbs and she says a size 4!!!!!  WTF!  I am 144 and between a 12 and a 10!  Hopefully a couple more lbs and I should be in my size 10's.  How could she be in a 4?  She is the same height as me, MAYBE an inch taller!  Man.  That is depressing to me.  And, in my whole life she has NEVER weighed less than me or been a smaller size than me!  Ugh! Thanks for all of your support!  Trying to catch up with everyone!  Boy, 1 week and I missed a lot!
