Sorry for the break

Sorry I've been gone so long.. I've been doing mini blogs on another site and been neglecting it here. I really need to keep doing my journals here because it's easier to track my moods here. I've been doing okay... my mom's mother in law (Joy) passed away a couple of weeks ago and I went up to my mom's to be there for her. She and Joy were close- my mom has been helping to take care of her for 3 years. The time up there was bad for the most part- I was sleeping on the couch and people were over at all hours of the day and night. I didn't sleep a lot, and so since I've been home I've been sleeping for crazy amounts of time. Last weekend (both Friday and Saturday night) I got 19 hours of sleep. I slept from 10 pm to 5 pm the next day. I didn't go to work on Thursday so I could sleep more as well.
There's been a bit of drama here at home... I've been calling the leasing office almost every day to check if my lease was ready to sign, and they keep on telling me no. It's up on the 31st, so it needs to be done ASAP. Geo is getting really pissed about it. Normally they are bugging us in August to re-sign, and this year we had to bug them about it. It's just so frustrating! I don't want to get kicked out or anything. I don't know any other reason why they would be so reluctant to get us to sign. We gave them all the paperwork weeks ago and they still hadn't completed it. 
My weight has been kinda stable around 215. I wish it would go down, but I gained a bunch of weight at my mom's and I'm trying to lose that. I hope I can... I wanted to be under 200 by the end of the year. My friend Courtney and I said that once we got to 1derland (One-derland, like wonderland) we would meet. She and I have become really good friends quickly. I met her on Spark People (the weight loss website I'm on) and we talk almost every day. I've been trying to go for my walks again... I got hurt for a long time and wasn't able to walk for almost a month. Well, I could walk, but just to work and back. I couldn't go for my long walks. I'm hurting today after just 3/4 mile. I don't know if I will go for my walk tomorrow or if I'm going to do a rest day. I pledged to do 750 fitness minutes in November, so I'm going to have to start getting really into it. 
Okay, I'm going to go get ready for bed now... Hopefully I will be back to posting daily again soon!

Missed you! Glad to hear from you again!
I hope the delay in your rent lease is not something major. Perhaps a change in employess has set them behind schedule?
Sorry to hear about your Mother\'s MIL. I know she was the buffer between your Mom and her husband. I hope all works out well for her.
