My Own Thoughts

Today I went in for the full plan at the Quick Weight Loss Center. It’s very restrictive. And it’s expensive. If I bought everything I need for the year today it is an additional $1200. If I don’t buy it today, over time I will pay $1700 over the initial fee. Money stresses me out [...]

Okay, here’s the three day preparatory eating schedule. Two eggs for breakfast. ONE meat, but any and all of that kind of meat that you want. beef veal liver lamb chicken turkey fish Raw green vegetables. As much as you want. But they can’t be cooked. Two oranges a day. They originally said one but [...]

Just in case I forget. Because I said I was NEVER going to wear a size 16 again. And just because I did once, for a funeral, doesn’t mean I should keep on doing it. Because despite my grandmothers and my mother and my brother all doing it, I do not plan on getting Type [...]

I am freaking out that I just paid some people $700 to tell me what to do for a year. To talk to me, to tell me what to eat and what not to eat, and how and when not to eat it. What the heck have I done? Can I have buyer’s remorse and [...]

I spent $700 today so that I would have something to blog. Well, that’s what my husband said. “If you go to the Quick Weight Loss center, you’ll have something to blog.” So, now I have something to blog. I told them I wanted to lose 54 pounds. That’s probably more than I want to [...]

Actually, I want to talk about the afterlife. But that’s what we mean. After death. After life comes death. After death comes? I believe in Heaven and Hell. I believe that in the end, those who know Jesus will be in heaven. But will it be a city with streets of crystal and gates of [...]

My aunt died on Thursday. I did go to the funeral. I put an overnight bag together and flew out Friday afternoon. But on the way to the airport I found out the funeral was not Saturday morning, but Saturday afternoon. So I changed my flight and didn’t get home until 9 pm Mother’s Day. [...]

My aunt died today. I had hoped she would live till next week, so that I could see her. But she didn’t. And I didn’t. I had work, teaching school, through this week. And I just couldn’t see taking off to go up there when she’s rallied several times before– even gone home twice when [...]

It’s Wednesday and high school is over. I had a parent come in today, after the final, wanting me to change two grades for a child. Some of the points were valid, but those papers were turned in multiple weeks ago. Ugh. The final today was 50 words to put in sentences. I had the [...]

I have been stressed for probably the last three weeks. I have not really known why. I assumed it was because of all the grading I was doing. And, of course, the problem I had with my eye going out of focus made grading worse. However, I’ve seen an eye doctor, who says I’m just [...]

This is a big question for me right now for two reasons. First, I have fibroids and my dr. says eventually I will need a hysterectomy. After reading about hysterectomies on the net, my husband is totally opposed. My parents think I should have had the surgery two years ago. The only reason I really [...]

Today we brought Serenity home. Serenity is a seven week old brown, tan, and white beagle puppy. She is sweet and very quitet, so far. She was very sweet riding home the hour in the car. She wandered around the house and the yard for about an hour and then laid down next to my [...]

I will try to post something every day this month.
