Sorry due to my own lack of commenting right now on your entries, i'll get back to it, been sort of preoccupied at work these couple days.
Boss told me this morning that I am to stay at my current office location thru the end of next week, then i'm moving to the next location. This works out GREAT for the extension at current location till next week because I have a TON of errands after work next week - one is GREAT which is I am signing up for future classes for training to join the NYPD auxiliary police. The sign up is this December and I plan to start the training in the fall (this is volunteer, requires a TON of time after work - I want it on my resume - that's my primary purpose to do this - I have a goal to be a court officer, still, since the NYPD didn't work out due to my lack of physical strength.
I will keep training and exercising in hopes do one day wear the nyc court officer uniform around 2021-2023 (those years). Until then, I'll wake up everyday thanking God i have a job which actually pays far better and almost towards what i'd get as a court officer nearing retirement. But it doesn't matter, I will become a court officer and don that uniform and love it.
Progress as of today: 5 lbs lost so far, only 0 lbs to go!
I am so glad i don't change my workplace till after next week - next week i have a union meeting near me after work and the sign ups for the auxiliary police after work in addition to gym and other things.
it's good i'll have the same work schedule for the last week - so i can knock these two things out more easily next week, before changing my work schedule.
Very interesting new goal... Love courtroom drama! (Working for an attorney, though, I'm always stuck in the office.)
And yes, the court officer goal is good...i like to do tasks - i'm task oriented with that kind of responsibility rather than the type that is responsible to decipher and figure things out, i'd rather be assigned to do tasks. which is more the PO / court officer type of job. that is what i like. there's room to move up or even if i stay at that salary it is OK.

Also, i'll be taking public transportation instead of driving, which i also look forward to.

Lately, i'm indulging all the time. Weight gain seems still minimal if any...so i just need to make healthier choices it seems, instead of eating so much crap after the gym...i can actually maybe have a more decent meal....if i so want to! :) LOL.
Happy Monday...starting the week off feeling good! :) So much better than I was at the end of last week :) The concert on the weekend and change of pace and all really helped me out. Food for thought is to keep weekends fun and active and lively.

_______________________________________________________________________
It's 10:30am and my laundry is finished, tho not all put away, but clean and not wrinkled :)
Also, at 10:30am, i have a spaghetti squash baking in the oven - i will then roast it after i take it out and cut it in half. I'll also be roasting an acorn squash :) I am also cooking pasta and will cook fish later, once i buy it along with some greens for the week!
It's that time of the month, and i have been extra moody this week to my regret. I wasn't able to manage my emotions so well...but moving past that. I'm happy to be alone right now at home, cooking. I wish i had the fish, i'd have cooked it now also. But the good thing about fish - it cooks quickly! I will buy enough to give Ricky one fish filet (cooked!) for the week so he also can eat well as he's been cooking and paying for my food lately....and why not give him a nice, baked fish!
Food shopping today:
bananas,
fruit, greens,
bread,
a white fish to be determined (not sure which one i'll buy - to be baked later with simple pepper, lemon, salt, garlic),
cream cheese,
salami,
chips.
I'll be going to the gym in the afternoon, after food shopping! :)
_________________________________________________________________________
I want to buy a couple guinea pigs (they are best to live in pairs, not alone!) as pets but my schedule is very busy this month on the weekends - so - i'm waiting till January to get them. I have already ordered a guinea pig cage that i'm putting together today.
Also, money-wise, I have a lot of bills this month, including Union Dues that i pay every six months, this month I have to pay approx $275 dollars, so that's a major bill as you can imagine!
So, the guinea pigs will definitely wait till January when my finances are Fresh in the positive again!

I found that once I hit mid-30s, emotions and hormones together took on a whole new adventure. Really bad. If you find that it's consistently bad, I urge you to talk to your doctor. That is something I regret not having done.

workout was good.
I worked overtime every night this week except Monday. Wasn't expecting this. Hope it doesn't happen all Winter. it's very stressful when you think u are leaving at one time but then it changes. It's extremely stressful to me. I like SET hours. I do not enjoy and can hardly tollerate OT. but i guess if i have to keep my darn job, i'll have to suck it up because the new two guys work a lot, stinks, now i have to follow suit. because 2 people stay late, out of like 10, sucks.
oh and when you work late, everything after work gets late. Everything gets harder. You get run down. It doesn't work well with exercise, injury rates get higher. I have experiened a lot of OT in the past, and physically and emotionally it played huge tolls on me. I did already get very sick. So i hope the OT isn't going to continue to next week - i don't think so, fortunately.
6 day average: 2160.
GYM tonight, cannot work late. took only 25 minute lunch, instead of one hour.

I've never had Lox...are they raw?
Donkey on 12/10/2017:
I hope you enjoyed the ballet -- the Nutcracker is my favorite, not only dance-wise, but musically. Love the music!!!
Can I live vicariously through you and ask what kind of mixed drink you had? ;-)
