back on the scene

[Guest guest]

hi everyone! sorry that i have been absent... have been working

in the deli like crazy all week... finally got today off to go to

physio and my boss was calling me to come in. but i did not

go... i didnt even call her back, i am so glad to have a day off

from there.

i had to pop into the store though to get dessert for the

outlaws xmas party on sunday... got a huge choc cake, all

decorated for xmas in buttercreme for half price the store

managers were all over me, wondering why i was not working this

weekend. i suppose that is why my boss called me... oh well,

not my problem!

anyway, just to vent a little... i dont think that it is fair

that other family members bring something to xmas dinner like

rolls or a vegetable, and i always get stuck with dessert which

is too time consuming if i make it and too expensive if i buy it.

im dreading xmas at the outlaws, like i do every year, but it

will be over soon. then it is back to work on boxing day.

no workouts all week except for about a million steps at work.

chinook has been let out to run on his own in the mornings and

evenings, but i know that he is missing his walks... im planning

one for tomorrow am

got sore in the shoulders the last time i did pushups and i have

to be careful with that area, so i laid off and will start back

up again tomorrow with more sets of less reps.

then some kind of core workout, a stretch and a hot tub massage.

that should kill the morning...then i have to clean the house

all afternoon because it was severely neglected all week while i

worked, and noone seems to be able to do anything but me! argh!

then it will be time for wrapping which wont take too long

since im an old xmas wrapping pro from way back

physio went well today, i gave my therapist a cute gift (a choc

bar wrapped like a $1,000,000,000 bill) which he thought was

hilarious and rewarded me with a 40 minute session! wow, i sure

felt great after that and still do ! i wish he would do that

every week, but he says im progressing so im not due for another

3 weeks. he also says that the rib is still the problem, but as

long as i keep the inflammation down on surrounding areas, then

it wont get too bad. again, i kiss my husband's feet for buying

that tub, it is truly saving me.

weight is still at a good spot but im getting kind of flabby from

not working out regularly. so as deli work slacks off, my

workouts get a higher priority, which will be really nice.

thats enough outta me! talk to you tomorrow...xmas eve!!
