I have a little bit of free time this morning, so I thought I’d update.

I have a meeting today at 1:30. I HOPE this is going to be a good thing. See, here’s the thing. Awhile back we were bought out, and the people that bought us didn’t want to own the part of our company that did government contracting so they had to split off and become their own company. They are all on the 8th floor now. I still do work for them maintaining their electronic manuals and electronic telephone directory. This is where Marlene (the bane of my existance) comes in. She is the person that gives me phone directory changes for them. One good thing about my boss is that he believes since they are their own company now, they need to find someone else to maintain their manuals and directory. That’s what todays meeting is about, the future of their manuals. So very soon, I might not have to deal with Marlene anymore. This will be a very good thing for morale.

So anyway, we’re standing in the cafeteria this morning and the radio is on and there’s this information ad thing playing about heart disease in women. Apparently like 50 percent of women have high blood pressure and only one-third of them seek treatment for it. Women don’t realize how much of a threat heart disease is to them. Then at the end they said poor diet, low excersize and stress all increase your chances of developing heart disease. Good, good, I hardly excersize, I don’t eat well, I’m overweight, stressed, and I have high blood pressure. Good good. I’m going to be dead by 30. All this though, and I’m still not motivated to do anything about it. My depression gets in the way of my motivation far too often. Yeah, I could go out and hike the trails out back with the dog, or I could sit here on the couch with a beer and watch TV. Oh what ever am I to choose? Walk in the freezing cold, sit on warm couch? Hmmmm, that’s a tough one. *rolls eyes*

Saturday is Valentine’s day, hubby and I will be staying home thankyouverymuch. Like hell if we’re going to do anything on a “holiday” everyone and their mother will be out eating dinner that night. We’ll be cleaning the house, it’s a TOTAL disaster and we’re having people over for dinner next weekend. I’d be really embarrassed if they saw how our house looks right now. 🙂 We’re hoping to have a tag sale in the spring anyway so we’re going through the house room by room and finding stuff to sell.

Anyway, I’m just rambling. So I’m going to quit.

Later.
