Tues 5-17-22 8am
The cat and I are locked in battle royale... I insist she eat wet food because she has small, hard poops. I have stopped the hard cat treats as well. She says she hates wet food AND people food, WHERE is her kibble? WHERE are her center-filled treats? THIS IS NOT what she signed up for! Baby food? Baby food? Really? No. Stop this at once she says. She knows better than to wake me up, but the minute my eyes opened she was all over me for breakfast. Baby food from last night was uneaten.
Stats today were weird. Body battery is continuing to charge higher overnight. It was in the 90s this AM. Blood pressure was a little high. Not sure why. Blood sugar was 150. Had a REM dropout and only got 45 minutes, so today will be quiet and at home. After I get dad his treats.
Never run out of dad or cat treats.
I think I have narrowed down sleep quality issues to stress and exertion after 3pm. Looking for ways to detox cortisol to fix that. So far I have found dark chocolate and L-Theanine...
Progress as of today: 68.3 lbs lost so far, only 88.7 lbs to go!
12:30 caregiver group
I’m so tired and miserable all I want to do is go to bed.
2:30 almonds and stevia chips
3:40 instacart delivery. Dad drama - accused me of lying about consulting him before instacart order last night augh.
Can I please go to sleep and wakeup tomorrow?
4pm ate too many chicken wings. Meant to split them with dad but they were too spicy for him.
4:20 lying down again
So a few of things happened:
So I can't take Wednesday afternoon off to watch the TV movie, because Male Co-Worker is already leaving at 3:30pm. Technically, yes I could leave at 1pm, but it leaves a lot of work unmonitored. So I'm thinking of renting the movie from the library, instead, and taking a different day off. That way, I don't have to sit through commercials at least, and I can take the day off that I want.
That "slow-down" that the Boss keeps talking about - you wouldn't know it from all the new contracts that are coming in. And who are these people who are willing to pay $10,000 to $28,000 more than a house is worth? Do they not know what the word "equity"means?
Progress as of today: 45 lbs lost so far, only 8.5 lbs to go!What was that movie? Do you have a DVR? We record what we can from Sling and over the air. Think not possible to record from some streaming services, but we get lots over the air & from Sling. Not so much from Prime anymore.
Matt recoded Once Upon a Time in Hollywood off the air on the DVR. Saw it before. Love Brad Pitt and Leonardo. Some real acting chops on display in that film. They are not just pretty faces, them boys.
and yes, even here, homes go for thousands over the listing price.
My sister paid like 50K over asking/the listing.
I am struggling with the adulting world right now, everything, and I mean everything just seems so hard. I watched a movie Sunday - Breakthrough - I just about bawled through the entire thing, made me question everything again.
The girl, on my last nerve...she needs to earn seals to graduate - well, not being mean, but she isn't smart enough or tests well enough to earn academic seals, so she must look elsewhere to get her seals. She is getting an employment seal because of her job, she thought she had a fine arts seal, but they nixed that because she didn't finish her 2nd year of marching band....because of COVID, so now she will have to work on getting another - I think she was looking to volunteer somewhere to earn her community seal...OMG, I don't even feel sorry for her that she has to do this, but I don't want to listen to the whining about it for the next year and half. There are several volunteer opportunities around, APL, hospitals, food bank...she says she doesn't want to deal with people....HELLO, this is exactly why you need to. Kids today are so caught up in electronics they can't even relate to the real world and/or problems in the real world. And again, I deal with this because the mother is in LaLa land and DH is pretty much hands off and really doesn't care one way or the other.
Work - crap - someone always makes my job harder.
Having issues with shoes. I have three pair of sneakers, tennis shoes, athletic shoes, whatever they are called and each pair bothers/hurts my feet in different ways, will have to go and buy another pair. They seem to fit fine in the store, but once I get them home and actually start using them they bother me. One pair squeeze the middle of my foot and it feels like a constant cramp in the arch area, I kept wearing them hoping they would 'break-in' but this would turn into a awful heal pain...so I tossed those aside. The second pair, I guess I purchased too short because my big toe is crammed up and feels like my toe nail is being pulled off - I guess I have/had thinner socks on when I bought them and the other pair just doesn't feel right and no matter how tight they are always manages to pull my socks down - it's like the back of the heal area is too wide or something for my foot...it's all weird and maybe just excuses to NOT walk or go to the gym...who knows.
Today, the girl has her eye appointment for glasses and contact lenses, I will pick up my glasses I ordered a few weeks ago. We are supposed to go out to eat afterwards...place we haven't been to a brew house/pub...times like these I wish I drank.
I will try better, I will be better.
Progress as of today: 23.9 lbs lost so far, only 104 lbs to go!I don't want to deal with people either.
This seal thing is new to me. Didn’t have it when I taught hs in California. They did have a community service requirement. many kids faked it and many schools looked the other way, wanting to graduate the little $hits out.
sorry about the shoes and not getting the comfort you need. i know it all too well and have a LOT of trouble also finding appropriate footwear. i almost exclusively wear sneakers, even at work due to my feet just not feeling comfortable and all the injuries, i like to not stress my legs more!

Progress as of today: 6.5 lbs lost and already at goal!Keeping your bike in your car is an excellent idea! Oh I hope it doesn't rain, so that you can ride around.
i may just leave bike in car...i have a nice hatchback...so it works, i leave the seats down in the back and there's space to fit the whole bike in the back part of my car. it "just fits," perfect scenario. good point to just leaving it there...i may.
lately my head is so foggy at work, bc there's not much supervision or direction; but today, luckily, i have good work to do!
Work and schedule were just crazy last week...it was a blur and dealing with people.
Friday - worked and cleaned house - the girl left to go to her grandmother's.
Saturday I was alone most of the day, DH worked. When he came home about 10:30 we dropped my car off for an oil change and went to breakfast. Eggs, bacon, French Toast.
We then went to a community wide garage sale - walked several blocks - forgot my phone so all my steps wasn't logged. Only picked up a few items. Glass pyrex pie plates, mini clear Christmas lights and some shower aroma therapy fizzy discs. We had Subway for dinner. It was an early night for DH since he was up at 3:30...I watched baseball and finished the laundry.
Sunday - DH left early to go shop. I made an Amish salad (califlower/broccoli), DH grilled steaks when he got home. I mowed and pulled weeds for awhile. Walked the doggos twice. Not a lot going on, just trying to relax and enjoy the weather.
Here is the next installment of lunch box art...and flowers. I forgot to take picture of an elephant....
Just a few more weeks of the lunch box aret - School will be out and I will be glad.....
Ever thought a weed would be photographic? The weeds are behind the fence, we have to mow to keep the field mice out of the shed and garage.
DH planted this - he said the bench and teapot reminded him of his mother - so - it is special.
Still trying to get by day by day or has happy says - inch by inch.
I am striving to have a good productive week. IP
Progress as of today: 23.9 lbs lost so far, only 104 lbs to go!
Mon 5-16-22 8:30 am
Shocked by good stats today as I mixed it up today. Last night, I went to bed as soon as I yawned, earlier than intended, and got to sleep by 12:30. Working my way back to a normal bedtime. I slept 8 hours and got enough REM. Body battery over 70. My fasting sugar was down to 120. My blood pressure was 118/73. Hydration, 86%. I will weigh in in a little bit. Who ia this almost on the mend person????
Progress as of today: 68.3 lbs lost so far, only 88.7 lbs to go!
Ate. Tofu scramble, Ratio bar, almond milk with instant tea. No added sweetner because of what I learned from the Huberman Lab podcast yesterday about insulin sensitivity.
1 Took dad to 2pm appt. Was going to walk but it was too hot and bright out. Sat in the car on reddit instead and got an answer on what protein powder would be better. On the way home dad had 3 or 4 errands to do that I said no to. I am only doing one thing at a time right now so I don’t burn out. That included not stopping for fast food sandwiches on the way home because he wouldn’t agree to only buy one. He has congestive heart failure!!!! None is better! I made him a burger when we got home then I heated up one of my meal preps.
4:20pm done eating
11:30 in bed.took melatonin and glycine. Looking forward to tomorrow. For once!
you are also doing better on your scale! yes, keeping things in check nicely!
May 10 - gym workout 2.5 hours (includes coaching)
May 11 - hike 1.5 hours
May 12 - gym workout 2 hours (includes coaching)
May 14 - gym workout 1.5 hours
We received a whole lot of rain at the end of last week, and spent the whole weekend dealing with water in the basement - both at BF's and at my house. Running back and forth, bailing water while BF had to work - it was an exhausting and frustrating weekend. Really, REALLY hoping that this week at work won't have too many issues because I honestly don't know how much more I can handle. It's looking like I need a break from my breaks! Always dealing with one thing after another...
So stress is rising, trying to keep it balanced with exercise and trying to keep things light with BF. This is not the end of the world and I can get through it. Yesterday I had the thought that I should try a LOT LESS to keep other people happy, and it's ok to speak my mind sometimes rather than bottling up all my feelings because it might hurt someone else. I have been raised to keep my mouth shut and let people walk over me, but I don't think this is right. There is always a balance - be respectful, but be honest. In the end, I must do the things that are best for ME, not anyone else. I dismiss all my negative thoughts as me just being a princess and complaining over nothing, when - in fact - all of these little things are SOMETHING, and I have the right to dislike a situation if it doesn't serve me. Not everything needs to serve me, but gosh a few things could!
Anyways, just my ramblings on a Monday morning! Have a great day :)
I would say, rather, focus more energy on making YOU happy. I have been in a similar situation - putting a lot of energy into trying to make other people happy - and eventually, I just started to pull back, WAY back. My efforts vary, but maybe it's time to pull back again, for myself.
i was also raised to keep my mouth shut. my sister is raising my nephew quite the opposite!!!
Another Monday, another work week...
Sunday's hike never materilized because it ended up raining, and then the temperatures dropped a bit. It's too bad Daughter isn't a morning person, LOL, in some respects, but in others, it's good that she likes to sleep in and can do on her days off. I try hard to respect her sleep.
However, I spent a lot of time with my plants which was very rewarding. Also, after the gym, I stopped by a lady's house to pick up some watering cans (for plants) for $2 each off of Facebook Marketplace. I got 2 of them, and they are just what I wanted & needed.
Tonight is yoga, and I truly hope that work is not too busy, too stressful of a day.
I'm thinking of taking half a day off on Wednesday, so that I can watch a movie that's on TV at 2pm. That may sound silly but there you go.
I had mentionted to Happy that I was thinking of changing things up for a week. My plan was to try to go to the gym in the morning to do the elliptical for 30 mintues. That did not happen today -- but it's a thought to keep in mind. It would be interesting to see how the daily step-count works out by doing that.
Progress as of today: 45 lbs lost so far, only 8.5 lbs to go!Great score on FB Marketplace. Reminds me, I never did get around to putting my old bike on Craig’s for free, along with a bird cage and working TV. We wanted bigger ones. I never liked selling anything. Did so with cars & houses only, otherwise I donate & will put the Craig’s items in the driveway.
It was an OK day - except for some extra sadness, but that's OK. Of course, it wasn't as good as weekends when I can spend more time with my plants, LOL...
if not, i'm sure you can record and watch it while you exericse?
either way, it's a nice thought of something to do. i can see why ;)
5.15.22 Sun -
8:15-8:45a Breakfast: some of a MASSIVE roti (was given like 3) - by massive, i mean that it's around 2' in diameter when you open it...it's all folded up - not sure i'll finish them bc i don't know the exact cals (like i don't know the calories in general, it's all a guess on the portions i take)...but i broke off some 200 and put some pumpkin spread (savory, with oil/seasonings) on it along with a coffee 100. 300...
10a Snacks: healthy - Sesame tahini bar pistachio flavor 100 (found on amazon, love the small size), lots of seltzer w. stevia during workout :), choc 50
12p Lunch: blackberries 150, naan bread 200, leftover okra negl, leftover eggplant 200, some pumpkin not much 50, yogurt 150. 750 at most...
3:00p Snacks: wafers 100; sister left around 3:30p which was good so i can relax and get back to relaxing before the day ends...!!!
5p later blueberries 100, lg plum 50while doing laundry, etc...
5:30-6p Dinner: more roti 200, pumpkin 100, eggplant 50, egg 100, 450..puffed chips/kombucha 150...600.

The Peach Festival sounds like fun! Good idea to book a hotel that is within walking distance of everything. Like you said, you don't want to spend too much time driving, parking, looking for parking, etc.

Hello, Friends. Have a cup of coffee with me?
Hubby 
got hurt in an accident here at home. He is improving. Please remember him in prayer...It is his leg...he was splitting wood with a maul (axe) from trees that were taken down recently, and a big piece flew into his leg...caused a very large blood-filled hematoma about the size as his knee...went to urgent care...got sent to ER...was there 8 hours...no broken bones...sent home with 'RICE' care instructions...rest, ice, compression bandaging, and elevation...it has been almost 2 weeks now and very slow improvement going on but better than he was...hematoma not as large but his leg is purple and yellow...Thank you for your prayers.

Love, Maria
Sun 5-15-22 11am
Pulling it back together a little bit at a time. Target bedtime was 2am last night. Fell asleep at 3:37am. Earlier than yesterday at 3:30am. Sleep uality held. I'll try for 1am tonight. I need to be up by 8, so it will be enough. I keep drinking my chocolate protein powder from before I started doing lower carb... it has 15 carbs per serving so not terrible but more than I can pull off without spiking sugar. I didn't buy any treats for myself this week and I keep forgetting to buy apples... and I had 2 shakes yesterday so my sugar was high. I totaled up my calories from the meal prep I did yesterday and discovered that Istill need to add 800-1000 calories to them!!! Veggies and protein without fat just don't have enough. No wonder I ate a whole costco bag of keto crackers in 2 days. I didn't have enough calories in my meals.
Mixing it up for next week... trying for a different set of 6 core stats for success measurement. I just need to find the right dominos.
Progress as of today: 68.3 lbs lost so far, only 88.7 lbs to go!
7:20 just finished making dad a burger. I am a giant waste of space and resources.
But I really like how you said you just need to find the right dominos. I like that!
After a while, we start believing the things we say about ourselves. You are a smart, capable, loving person who has made it through so much already. You should be proud of yourself for continuing to strive to be better. Hugs.
I have been stressing less to control blood pressure and noticed that schedules do stress me.......winging it lowers my BP..........counting cals stresses me...not counting literally allows me to eat less and to think about it less...lowering BP........
I'm still doing housework but winging it.........doing what I want to when I want to......I'm still getting to use the basement exercise area........but when I want to.....and not on a schedule ( I notice that I rarely talk about using that here...but I do)...I usually only report food here.
Doing more relaxing and less scheduling is just better for me I guess at this stage in my life.
I'm finding it funny how things still get done...and with less prompting.....I'm actually doing things quicker ( cleaning)...than when I scheduled it..............now I just keep up with the little things and the old big things just don't get to be big messes anymore.
The less I stress about food...the less I eat in total.
The scale may or may not move.......I have always allowed myself to go up or down 4 pounds anyway.....and I can see that staying possibly the same.......I also can tell that what used to be a serving for me has and needs to get even smaller......I really don't burn calories like I used to.....possibly because I am moving slower???? Not sure...but I can look back and see my parents and aunts and uncles just consuming less.....and I see why now.
I'm just basically allowing myself to relax and do what feels right at any given moment........and I can literally watch my blood pressure react accordingly.......no rules, no expectations....and no guilt.......It is just time for me to kick back and enjoy my old age........and stop trying to control everything around me...
I feel that there has to be some happy medium between doing the things we don't want to do and getting them done. Mainly in reference to chores, and not about major life events and such. If you know you have to scrub toilets but you don't want to....
I also feel that perhaps I am at that place where I'm meant to be, physically (excluding the parathyroid issue). I won't ever be a waif. I might just be OK with being a little heavier and muscular.
Have a great day!
Today was supposed to be gray and rainy, but instead, temperatures have cooled off nicely (low to mid 70's) and the sun is out. This opens an array of possibilities for today.
I did not want to get out of bed, so I stayed in a little too long to make it to the gym early. I'll go around 10am when the 2 elliptical ladies should be done. Husband changed his mind about going to the hobby store (in a town that I hate), so I plan to spend my afternoon repotting some more plants that need it. I bought 2 more plants at Walmart (total under $10), that looked like they needed me as much as I needed them.
I have no plans for weight training today. Daughter has today off, maybe she'd like to go for a hike but if not, that's OK, because I have plants to work on. Hiking will supercede the plants, though.
I did not meet my water goal yesterday. Eating, though, was a lot less "stressful" -- I can't think of a better word to describe it. When I'm at work, I seem to be wanting to eat more, all the time. When I'm at home, I feel more focused on doing things, and not eating.
At the gym, yesterday, I went into the hot tub after cardio on the elliptical. That was so nice. I went in the afternoon. When I go on Sunday mornings, I don't use the hot tub afterwards. This is a nice routine that I like. I haven't used any of the weight machines at the gym -- I don't think I've done so since Son passed away.
Today:
While meaning no disrespect, keeping busy keeps the grief at bay.
why do you hate the town where the hobby store is - a poor town or something like that? or crowded?
nice job going to gym....
at work, you are doing work, and you may crave energy...another reason you are hungry....also go back to your deep breathing and water. nice job staying on track this weeking.
i think at times that the water is overrated similarly to how i feel about protein..keep on, and not everyday needs to be perfect. even getting close to the water goal of yours may be sufficient.
if you don't comment on an entry of mine, it is soooo ok. being off the computer is good for the soul!!!!!!! i know from experience. haha
I will try to focus on deep breathing and water, while at work. This will also help me get into a good mindspace for yoga tonight.

I just realized that I have no plans to do any weights this weekend, and Monday is yoga, so no weights then either. Yikes...
Sat 5-14-22 12pm:
Despite best efforts yesterday I ended up with insomnia till 3am. Can only think that the grocery shopping, meal prepping and chores were too much for me and I wore myself out. I fell asleep about 3:30, woke up about 10:30, walked at 11. Trying Aura for insomnia. Free trial. This might just be a case of paying a toll for overdoing it, but I can't tell when I am overdoing it.
Progress as of today: 68.3 lbs lost so far, only 88.7 lbs to go!
Today I walked 20 min, picked up walmart groceries, hosted coworking, cleaned my bedroom, did PT (yay), made dad stuffed peppers, watched tv, and ate too much. Out of all of that, only PT moved me forward.
Thank you lord for all that you do.
Up and feeling a lot better....I seem to have chased the cold away quickly...I do have an amazing immune system...so amazing it is constantly attacking my thyroid ( hashimotos)...but really...my neck glands ( mainly the left side)..swell at the first sign of illness... and I'm rarely sick for more than 3 days with anything......
Not counting food again today.......just basically eating what I want...that could be good or bad...but I needed a break.......it is funny to me how nutrition back in the day was a thing.....and there wasn't a lot of processed food......now...with a glut of processed food that is so darn handy and addicting.....nutrition seems like it rarely is mentioned but weight watching is.........
Follow the money...................it doesn't have to be healthy...just tasty........if there is money to be made by anyone.....then watch out.
I was reading a book the other day called Slim BY Desigh about how stores and food producers and restaurants make their $$$$ by leading the people to their best money makers.......and they were talking about fresh produce.........it is one of their biggest money makers BUT...it goes bad quickly.....so you will always find it right up front in a store........so that you are tempted to put that in the cart right away..........hopefully before it gets less than appealing..........Then the store will gently lead to the fresh meat department....same thing there...that stuff needs to sell quickly before spoilage........canned goods are on the inside aisles...because they can sit there for months and get dusty.....
glad you are feeling way better.
good points in your last paragraph. never thought of that, even though i know the basic needs are the perimeter of the supermarket, this makes good sense as well.
for instance, at supermarkets that bag my groceries for me as they pass along on to the bagging area, if my order is large i will also bag some things to help out / be doing something. i will say i want to. you can say that about carrying them out. if you want to... :) even if you have to come back in to get the rest, if you want to ;)
I'm kind of glad to hear that you're taking a break from counting. I so dislike tracking. I know that's really the key for me to reach my goals, but ugh, I guess I just don't want it badly enough to do it.
Salt is in everything it seems.......food producers know that sugar and salt are addictive and it keeps people eating their food....
Good to see the number come down a bit, especially since I am feeling kind of fluffy and bloated lately. With temperatures in the upper 80s or even 90 this past week, I've had to dip into my summer waredrobe. I have 4 pairs of capri pants. The black ones fit, but they have a stretchy material. A little tight in the thighs - always the issue with me. The dark green ones are quite comfortable. The beige ones -- the smallest pair, size 8 -- are wearable, but I was afraid that they would feel too tight after a while so I did not wear them to work. It's a sensory issue thing -- if they are too tight, it would drive me to distraction to the point that I'd have to come home and change. Didn't want to deal with that yesterday, especially since we were short-staffed.
Too much eating. We had a title company rep come into the office yesterday with soft-serve ice cream from Wendy's. I just couldn't resist and had a vanilla one. And yes, I ate the whole thing. Then I had 2 Fannie May chocolates from a box dropped off by another title company rep. I left those at work, because I thought if I brought them home, I'd eat the whole box over the weekend.
Did NOT succeed with my water goal.
Church Grief Group was much nicer because there were only 4 of us + the leader. There was a new lady there who I know outside of this group. She lost her husband in January. It was easier for me to talk and contribute to the smaller group, and there were a few tidbits presented that I took with me that I will use for my own grief journey.
Husband surprised me this morning by saying he wants to go to a hobby shop in a town that I hate. I suggested that maybe tomorrow would be a better day, because it's suppsed to rain all day. Today is the last warm, dry day for a few days. Also, I have other things I want to do, too. He's open to waiting until tomorrow, except that tomorrow is Daughter's day off. Oh well... he may end up going on his own.
I'm actually thinking of / wanting to go to Walmart by myself, just for myself. I'm looking for a special type of watering can, which they may or may not have, maybe some plant food, and possibly a plant to cheer myself up with. Plants are life.
Progress as of today: 45 lbs lost so far, only 8.5 lbs to go!
I had to dig into the summer clothes as well....but since I don't work I can get by at home with what I have leftover from last year/or before.....Work clothes do take a lot more consideration....Sounds like the green ones will be a favorite for the next few months....But I always seem to gravitate to black.......when I get down to 2 pair of black pants...it's time to do some shopping...LOL
Time to really get serious about gardening...looks like the snow is gone for good...YIPPEE.
I'm glad you are feeling good re Friday's entry. with everyone out,you'll have less office distraction and prob be able to do your work well. i like when folks are out also! :) Monday my boss will be out and he left me some work which i'm happy about...
Finally your Chicago weather is wayyyyyy higher than here in NYC. we had seasonal 70's, some rain. my dad had a "good weather week" by you. He heads home today. mom already home since tuesday.
when we have sweet temptations at work, i usually DO try to take a little of them, bc a little bit fits in calorie-wise. i consider the sweets part of my breakfast or morning snack quite usually...i have learned to go this way.
as with your overeating, i'm sorta doing that in the evenings right now....i think it caused minor weight gain so that when i step on the scale by evenings, it's up more than i put on my entry which is def only a morning weight now...i can also feel it in my clothes, but it's still a good weight...i may pull back some nights of eating, if i can...i think planning better or taking only portions of snacks and adding fruit to dinner may help...point is, if i want to lower my evening calories, i will have to take only servings to where i am eating and not a full bag; and add in fruit.
I am confused and stressed at work and having a very hard time focusing on my work bc the manager cannot spend a lot of time with me right now and I feel unable to focus on doing work just on my own without more direction; but I will try...
5.13.22 Fri
breakfast: waffle and pb 200, coffee and banana 150, an extra regular coffee....trouble keeping eyes open in car today, had to roll down the windows!
snacks: the above; wrap 100, with 2 egg yolks small leftover from last night 100. 200.
Lunch: healthy mix - leftover flavored, butter veggies 200, beef soup 250, maybe half bagel brought in very good 200 650.
Snacks:150 gummies tamarind candies very nice found them and bought them for a more natural change of pace sweet treat
Dinner: other half bagel lg 200, cream cheese and lox 100, 3 smallish clementines 100,whole milk strawberry flavoredyogurt 150...550..fat free choc on bottom yogurt 100
2000..
got a 10 min walk before work; and i plan to walk around my own neighborhood for approx 30-45min(easiest) once i get home. and maybe indoor bike; 1.5hr slow stroll after work, ankle weak as it generally is,but a great walk; felt nice.

Strength Train Saturday evening possibly, once sister/nephew go home
5.15.22 Sun - decided to cancel signing up for working for early day voting at the polls bc my sister asked about a playdate with me and my nephew - and that takes precedence over working a day at the polls! - but may cancel these signups as a social event will take precedence bc it's good for me to see friends/family.

Progress as of today: 6.5 lbs lost and already at goal!As far as the office craziness yesterday, possibly carrying over into today, like you already know and have already said, yes, best to just keep to yourself and try to get through the work as best as you can. It's hard, I know, but try.
Maybe it doesn't matter how it's done as long as the work gets done. I'm thinking to my own situation, where New Gal works her files completely different than I do - I mean pretty much everything is done differently. But at the end of the day, the files close and we get paid, so what does it matter. It does not. If it did, someone would say so.
no work yes :) i will sleep in, why not!?
Writing this on Saturday: I hope you had a better day at work on Friday.
I know you explained that roti is not naan, but we love naan here, which makes me wonder if we'd like roti as well. I will have to try it, the next time we come across it on a menu.
I'm glad you're going to your union club meeting tonight. (Welfare Club, right?) It's good to be around people, and we need to seize these opportunities while we can. COVID numbers are getting higher out here. My whole family out in Vegas has COVID.
yes, the welfare club! didn't plan on going, but then got a text from the president of that club and since i was talking with friend Christine about "just going" and not necessarily being active beyond that; i decided it could be useful to "just go." there is dinner provided - so there's that.
it will be hard to fit in exercise after, but i'm going to try for it; to stay on track. maybe skip legs and just do upper body to save time, perhaps.
yes, covid numbers higher here. i'll take my chances and go to the meeting. can only be out up to 5 days here at work...so that's good, if i had it. fingers crossed i don't get it. :)
sorry for your family being sick. hopefulyl they aren't too sick?
yeah, i think the roti is totally unleavened, whereas the naan has some rise in it.
it's compact or dense, just like naan...maybe moreso than naan bc it doesn't rise...so it is not low cal but also i think it's baked not fried so that's good. good thing is you can break off what you want; like you do for naan if it comes in a large size.
really just going to the meeting bc he asked me by text - i was about to skip it so i could exercise...maybe it will help me exercise more efficiently tonight with less breaks, since i'll be starting it late.

Does your union not have built in raises? That’s how the teachers Union in California worked, for better or for worse.
They went by seniority and degrees. So that’s why every dunce there had some kind of a BS Masters. I started at 8K a year above the other 1st year teachers because of my doctorate. The extra classes I took got me nowhere on the pay scale, it maxed at the PhD. But every year the seniority went up.
teachers unions are probably the best unions in the country, on same wavelength as government types of unions.
No, our contracts are only made for 3 years. and not every year of those 3 is a raise. every 3 years, the entire contract must be discussed elaborately and for around 3 months before decided again. there must be agreement between the electrical company owners and the union between what the union is asking for (for the workers) and what the electrical contractors are willing to buy into. nothing is really guaranteed. teachers unions have a lot more guarantee with raises spelled out for years (whcih can change between contracts). but teachers also have tenure which we know is very special in teaching.
no, my contract being being an administrative worker doesn't spell out my salary or raises beyond 3 years. sometimes, no raises may happen in 3 years. this time its 2% raise now in 1st year and 2% raise in 3rd year, none in the second. they pushed for it bc of inflation.
they do not go by senority or degrees in the union; it's different,yes. you won't get a raise at the actual company you work with, aside from small union raises i just mentioned, unless you go out of your way to ASK for it - or are very exceptional from others and the company doesn't want to lose you. no, things don't go up and my position isn't ever guaranteed. not the same as teaching.
teachers unions are like a class and contract in themselves. they have much more pull and the contracts have a lot more longevity effects in terms of salary than ours, especially mine because i am administrative.
the electricians status / pay is more precise and same for all.
administrative division has less perks. and a separate contract. there are separate contracts depending on the division of the union you are in.
Jacky82020 on 05/17/2022:
Wow, very interesting HoP. Thanks.
Great flaws in the teacher tenure & Union system as I knew it then. Lazy uncaring people given annual raises who neglected their jobs. Drunks & druggies protected. Only fired teachers and admin I knew of were pedophiles, embezzlers or other types of criminals. But I hear in some places the times they are achanging.
I blew the whistle on my principal at one school, big time. He deserved prison, but was fired. Last I heard he’s a limousine driver at the airport for some company. Probably figuring out how to scam them. His wife was a high ranking police officer.
it's good when people that deserve it are caught. good for you on blowing the whistle. i tend to think there's lemons at all jobs, union or not...just my POV. in general, i feel a lot of teachers do a good job; and around here you need to get your masters in the first few years of teaching - so they def got a lot of schooling.
yeah, all unions and jobs are not created equal - in terms of contracts. at least we are more "free" than most other countries; for that the USA is wonderful!
scam artists also in every industry. i know of a teacher (thru my friend who's a good teacher) that has taken off the whole second half of the year bc of her foot which she hasn't even had surgery on....she's fooling the district and getting leave with full pay. it's unbelievable they are letting her bc nobody is looking closer into it....bc when nobody cares, nothing gets done. (when nobody cares to check up on things and do their jobs, the scammers will not be caught.)
btw,the only salary mentioned or admin workers are the very lowest mimimums, not max or average or anything else. and they are very very minimum, far lower than i make.
*for admin workers (not or)
