huh

The last couple days have been interesting.

Another blow-up at work with my dad. argh. I hate it. and we're both too emotionally involved to know when we're being unreasonable. but recognizing that is a good first step. :P

I'm really impressed and in love with the women in my new women's group. What strong, brave people! Myself included, thankyouverymuch! I stood up for trying out the exercise of the evening the way it was presented, and we were all pleasantly surprised I think by how well it did work, simple and ineffective as it may have looked on paper. (Just listen and repeat/paraphrase back what she says) I've done enough stuff in all sorts of organizations to know that it's a good idea to try it out the way it's set up first, and trust the process and the people who created it.

My dad called me this morning at 7:30, since that was the time we agreed I was going to get up and walk. He asked when I was going to walk, and I said "now", and he said "I'm coming with you." So I brushed my teeth and put on my walking shoes and did a few stretches till he came. We had a really good walk and got to talk about nice conversational things. It was quite a relief actually, and good to get in some dad time that wasn't boss time, or directly responding to an emergency or illness. And it was REALLY nice to walk. I SO love this time of year. The air is so great, and all the birds and flowers. LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Tomorrow I'm supposed to get the blood sugar test at the JeffCo hospital. Waahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 12 hr fast recommended before hand, so no food for me after 8pm, and I'll go in at 8am, and bring some snacks with me for afterwards. Oh god, I'm getting a bit nervous just thinking about it. And then I called the free clinic today and left a message, and she called me back (in the middle of a meeting with Stacey and Mary, but we ALL got phone calls at the same time - hee! Phone break!) to say that they could do them all for me tomorrow night at 7pm up in IC. OMG!!!! the day of pricks and badness! At least maybe I can get it all over with in one day, except the one other screening on the 22nd. so we'll have to see what happens. I'm hoping maybe Collin will drive me up, since G has plans, and C needs the driving hours, and it would be a VERY good idea to have SOMEONE driving instead of me, specially if I feel woozy and stuff. :P:P:P I just hope he doesn't flake out on me, well, he hasn't promised anything yet.... grrr. Can't go alone though. That's for sure.

Some gals at Entree were discussing going to Weight Watchers, and we all said we'd do it. I'll do much better with buddies, and I NEED to lose at least 5-6lbs before the wedding so I fit back into the dress. Not just like "oh it would be nice to lose weight." It doesn't fit right! dammit. I hate keeping track. It's not like it's hard... just a pain. And they better show up. I'll give em hell tomorrow if they don't... Here we go... be prepared to cry... :P
