DH's sister asked him on the phone the other night if I was on diet pills. she said last time she saw me it looked like I had lost 60 or 70 lbs., and she wanted to know what I am on. nice backhanded complimemt... Jefferson county schools is very sad that I will not be joining them. they are well aware of the real estate problem, and have been petitioning the state for location pay. the principal told me if he were to go to the neighboring county in VA, he could make as much money teaching as he does as a principal in WV. They start teachers at 40,000. maybe I/we should look over there. he was really trying though...saying DH could have a job as well etc., but we would then be unable to pay for day care. so oh well.
Exercise was pretty scarce this weekend. I averaged about 2.5 miles on the pedometer, which is ok, but could be better. if I actually went out for my walks I would have made it to 10,000 steps, but I didn't and it's in the past so I'm not gonna dwell on it. I had a really weird thing happen to me sat. night, and you may think I'm nuts or dreaming but you can take it however you want, it scared the shit out of me.
First thing a little backstory...ever since we moved into this house I've had this...I don't know recurring half dream that there was an evil presence lurking in the hallway. I would look at the doorway and see a head with long black hair and a horrid, half-formed lookkign face, then I would blink (or open my eyes or whatever) and it would be gone. I've seen it probably 10-15 times in the hall. Saturday night I woke up (I swear I woke up) and there was this thing right beside my bed. it looked like alittle girl about 12 and at first in my sleep-muddled state I thoug it was DD coming to get in bed with us and I reached outto pull her in, and quickly saw it was not DD. she was in bed beside me. I kind of gasped and rolled over to cover her up, and then the whatever was on DH's side of the bed, and even though I never really saw her face, I could feel her grinning at me...freaked the shit out of me.
I asked dh then next morning if he saw anything he said no. I told him about it and he freaked out so bad he could barely sleep last night.
So what does this have to do with my weight loss and other problems/goals. I kind of had the epiphany that if this was real, the reason it was after three years, able to come in the room was because I and DH have been fedding it with negative energy. our sadness and hopelessnes have given it more energy to make itself more known. so whether you believe in that sort ofthing...I', going to choose to be more positive.
dunno about the weight thing...guess I'll check.
ok there is somethihng worng with my piece of bull dung scale...could it need a new battery already?
till later
