Monday blues

Today has been lousy.  I guess it could have been worse but right at the moment I don't know how.

Went to the doctor today.  Oh, I am fine but today he mentioned -- for the first time -- my weight.  Ok, so I knew I need to drop some weight.  But I didn't know exactly how much weight I should drop.  I know now! I just don't see all that much extra weight in the mirror, so either I have been fooling myself or I carry it well.  LOL

So that really bummed me out.  I go to Wendys and get a baked potato and a biggie Cheerwine to drink.  Come home and do a little computing.  Something weird happens and it shuts itself down.  I get this error message from Microsoft that I don't understand.  It doesn't look like I have lost anything ('cept my mind) so I try to let it go.  I do zip off a e-mail to someone in hopes he can explain it.

Next, I am sitting here trying to catch up on all those journal alerts and Sadie comes up and sits on my shoulder.  But she is making these noises and I know that something just isn't right.  I sit her into the floor seconds before she pukes. Great timing huh?

The day will get better.  I will find some sort of way to lose some weight.  Ok, a little more than a little. grrrrr

I love the artwork of Rion Vernon (see girl above).  Check out his stuff, warning some of his work has some partial nudity.

Hi!  Sorry you're having such a bum Monday.  But Mondays are usually like that...I hope it gets better.  I went to the doctors and I have to loose 110 lbs. Don't you feel better now.  ciao

I know today may seem lousy to you. I had those days too. But go to my journal and read about the boy who took his life. That poor mom , wife and children. He was only 24. I use to teach him and Tracy (my daughter ) use to date him. Pray for them please. Lori

Nice timing with Sadie.  My cat likes to come up beside my head when I am in bed and start her whole process of choking up a hairball!  I don't know why she insists on doing this over my pillow, especially when I am sleeping so nicely!  I don't know if you are a Dr. Phil fan, but his book, "The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution" is very good.  This site might be helpful as well.  You can get a free diet profile and other such tips...

These cartoons were too cute! I liked especially the artist featured with his cartoons. Too funny! :)

Hey hon! Got your email and it defintiely sounds like your system crashed. Not sure what operating system you're using though. If it's not XP then you may want to limit the amount of rograms running in the background while you're on AOL 9.0. Still, I'd ask Erick since he knows so much more than I do.

And it's ALWAYS difficult to tell what you really look like by looking at yourself in the mirror. Nothing beats a photo. Everyone keeps harping about how they add 10 lbs but if you're satisfied with how you look on film then chances are there's nothing by way of vanity to worry about. :-)

I have had many days like you described, complete with beloved pet puking on you at the beginning or end, just to round things out nicely. I think I understand your worry about your pets, and everything else, for that matter. I broke my neck 7 years ago at age 31, and my life changed forever. I am grateful that I can walk and talk and live on ly own, but it does play hell with your emotions, and if any of my pets, who I talk to 24 hrs a day gets sivk or hurt, I go straight into crazy-woman mode. They are my family, my life, they love me no matter what. I posted some album pics of them if you are so inclined.
Take care of you
