glorious morning.
May. 3rd, 2021 10:37 am(sunday)
i went down to the barn at around 10 and pulled a chair into d's paddock, sat down with my notebook and water, and just hung out with him quietly for about 20 minutes. he stood right next to me and dozed; it was beautiful. i also took a really unflattering photo of him from my low-down perspective:
even in his unflattering photos, he's gorgeous. =D
i'm back on a solid eating plan and while it's only been 24 hours, i feel better. it's amazing what drinking water and eating right can do quickly. this morning i was down close to 2lbs from yesterday morning and yes, i know it's not "real" weight loss and is just me peeing so much i'm shrinking, it's ok. i need 4.7 lbs more to reach Milestone Number One -- i can do it!
.
my trainer and i were talking yesterday afternoon and i was telling her about how my counsellor said "you sound like you've already decided what you're going to do" vis-à-vis the job quitting and how even though i have, i feel like i need permission from others to do it. trainer said, "i gave you permission two years ago" and yeah, she did. but i wasn't ready then and i'm sort of ready now. then again, having coworkers tag you with funny things on facebook makes me realize how much i'll miss the community at work and how i will need to find that somewhere else.
as an introverted extrovert, this is not super easy to do on my own.
.
mister got a few calls from recruiters about jobstuff. one was all "hey, you're so over-qualified for this job, but let me try to find you something else" the other was all "this one is a contract job of six months and the pay is XXX" and when i heard the amount i asked if he could work two jobs for six months. lol what? it's like three years of my salary...if he'd help me, i could take the job. =D
anyway, a benefit of this pandemic covid thing is that a lot of employers are willing to do 100% remote for jobs, which has opened up new opportunities. if shit ever goes sideways at his current job, knowing that we both are pretty marketable provides a sense of security. that's a good thing.

[monday]
ok, so obvs i went off yesterday and forgot to come back and finish the entry/post the entry.
such is mango.
.
yoti the rescue woke us up at 1 a.m.
apparently, we had a bear hop the fence and wander along the house. o.O SCARY.
she (dog) was on alert all night and periodically woofed and growled; i was on alert so didn't sleep. the women of this house protect. *nod*
then pup was up at 5:45 and since i was awake anyway, i just got up and fed everyone, put them out for their business, got them back in, and napped on the couch until 7ish.
i. am. tired.
BUT...i sort of saw a bear! (it was on the security camera footage and all i saw was its ears. still, it's more than i've seen up here before!)
.
ok, time to tidy my desk.
oh, milestone #1 now has 3.3 lbs to go. I CAN DO THIS.
(thank you water weight and skinny fit detox tea!)
lol
