Deep thoughts. And shallow thoughts. And pointless rambling.

1.My dog is laying on my pillow, licking her muddy paws. I just keep looking at her and doing nothing to stop her. Guess I'll need to change my pillow case.

2. Hubby has been complaining of the inside of his nose hurting...you know like when you get a little pimple in there and every time you touch it it feels like someone is shoving a ice pick in your nose and it makes your eyes water? Like that. But it keeps getting worse and he said it's actually up pretty high in his nose. Now his nose is visibly mis-shapen on the right side. My first thought is that maybe it's a tumor. How's that for having a bright, optimistic, sun shiney outlook on life? I have a tendency to be a pessimist.
Poor guy...he needs to get that checked!

3. Weight loss is not happening. I am at a road block mentally. So instead of getting all depressed and whiney and thus gaining MORE weight from convincing myself, yet again, that a dozen Oreos with milk with make me feel better..and just migh bring world peace too...I am doing what I CAN do. I am focusing on small things.
a. Drinking tons of water.
b. No pop.
c. And that's about it for right now...(I started to make something up about
not eating at night, but then I thought I should be honest with myself...it
just aint happenin' right now!)

4. Leaving on Friday for a big trip home for a week-long visit. It will be the first time I've been in the best place on earth since last June. I'm not too excited.
I'm afraid it may be too soon and I may come back and curl up into a ball of homesick, blubbery mush...much like the state I was in the first three months after moving. In reality, I don't think it will be quite THAT bad...but I am trying to be realistic and prepare myself for some aftermath emotionally when we get back. I really think this trip is sort of contributing to this weight loss "road-block" thing. Yes, maybe I'm using it for an excuse. But it is what it is....(I hate that phrase!).

5. I just dozed off for a split second so I'm going to take that as my queue to get some shut-eye.
