Ok, so news! Let's see.
Whacked my hair off on Halloween (pics in pic post), and got a part time job at the Dollar Tree on my birthday. My first day is Monday, but after that I will be working Fri. & Sun. and possibly Sat. too. I've given up on my freelance writing making any money, and more importantly, so has Gary. :p
Which is okay, really. It's time for me to try something else. It will be nice to have a little spending money again, and to be able to do things like send packages.
Weight is completely stalled around my first big goal (200). We ate a very carb heavy diet for 2 weeks because of money and then birthdays/thanksgiving/also money. Remember the pie buffet I made for myself? Lol. And I gained 10 LBS! /dies Hopefully, it will only take a week or two to fall off, but in the meantime my old jeans fit again, and I had to move my ring back to the old finger because it got so tight it was hurting on the new one. DOH!
And oh honey, I felt so bad on carbs again. Headaches, stomach aches, GAS, pimples and painful dry skin at once. Body aches, dry/sore throat, I mean you name it. I also noticed that my concentration/fatigue was worse. I really think carbs are poison to me. I mean, I know it doesn't help that I basically tortured myself for hours on end with sweets, but still. That in itself is a big problem. I start eating carbs, and I can't/don't stop. I feel soooo much better already, and I've only been back on keto for one day.
How was your Thanksgiving? Best thing you ate? My in-laws had to pay for us to rent a car and for the gas for us to get there, and I feel horrible about that. It sucks so bad always being flat broke. I hope your money situation is looking up? Hopefully December will be better for us in that department, with me getting a part time job and Gary is supposed to get a retention bonus.
Mom had some kind of mini-breakdown and threw away a large brown paper bag of jewelry and rocks and important papers and purchases she'd made. Hundreds of dollars of jewelry I guess, that she'd pretty much been buying since we left Texas. I feel bad for her, really bad, but it seems like it is going to prompt her to see a professional and for that I am grateful. I think that she's needed to for decades. I sincerely hope that they can help her at least function more like a modern adult and make better choices.
I guess that's all my news for now. I'm certain there was more? But I can always post again later. :p
Enjoy the pictures, and when you reply to this post I will put up my first chapter to read, but I just can't handle posting it and then wondering for days if you read it/liked it/hated it/think it's terrible. :p
Gentle critique is of course welcome, and I'll have a new cover to show for it soon, under a new (and permanent) pen name.
Talk to you soon I hope!

I'm glad you were rpetty on your birthday. I'm jelous of the wave and shape your hair has. Mine is so crazy straight!
ReplyDeleteI am still flat broke and I don't know when it will improve. Just cross your fingers I can get my surgery in January. That will be the first step to be able to work well again.
I really want to read your chapter and see the cover. I'll read it promptly!
