Down on bended knee

Well, not really, just a swollen knee. Had my first slip & fall accident at work today – right in the middle of the lobby of the tower. I didn’t really look to see if there were too many people around. I was too busy reflecting on how fucking fat I am while I flailed around on my back trying to get up. Boo, now I have accident report forms to fill in and submit. It’s probably really bad to be wondering how to work in some paid time off around this little incident. hehe. I won’t – I have tomorrow off and Thursday anyway.

I’ve done a few little morsels of work toady, but there’s still a chunk of a list to get through. I’m here until 6 tonight since we’re back to 1 car for this week and next, so I’m not in that much of a hurry to get at it. I work better & faster under tighter deadlines anyway. But, come to think of it, there are very few “deadlines” in my job other than my boss is back from vacation Friday and I should at least look like I accomplished something. I’d really like to get this entry posted and then read for the rest of the day, but… well, we’ll see.

I went to Spice at 11:30 this morning with Jacqueline. I needed to loosen up my back since I have that back (to work) ache again. I was on the lowest setting there and changes to the “routine” aren’t allowed other than intensity. It helped a bit but my shoulder blade/rib area is aching again. I’m sure my little incident on the way back didn’t help this situation much. If Rob’s back from work early enough tomorrow I’ll see if I can get back there for a harder shake-up. If not, we have Chiro on Saturday…it would be nothing new to be uncomfortable until then. How glorious will it be to drop a few ell bee’s in January and ease this feeling. I’m still feeling really excited about this and plan to spend some time tomorrow and Thursday getting ready to jump in next week. I found a couple of great clean eating magazines lastnight with tones of recipes and a great web-site today too. So, my plan is, go through all of the recipes – look at prep time and the ingredients needed and find 3 weeks worth of dinners – throw each dish name into a hat and pull 7 for week 1, 7 for week 2 etc… I think if we have 21 that gives us lots to try and time to find new ones too if we make something that’s not so great. I plant to somehow catalog the recipies on my memory stick and make a grocery check list for each one, so I know quickly what’s needed and I can check “inventory” weekly before heading to Safeway, spending over $100 and still coming home with nothing to eat. 3 Cheers for being prepared!

I went and bought a few groceries last night after work with no list and no plan really, but I did ok. EXCEPT Rob’s facebook/highschool friend is here tonight and now he wants to go out for dinner. He drives me effing nuts when it comes to this – I buy groceries, try as hard as I can to make healthy choices and then this happens. I suppose it’s better than having this chick in for a drink or something tonight at our house after dinner – I hate having people over. I really don’t feel like meeting her, but some story about how she’s so excited to meet me…yeah right – she just wants to make sure I don’t want to kill her after reading those messages on facebook that her & Rob were sending back & forth. Totally inappropriate…but, once I saw her picture (naked ones, but a picture all the same I suppose) I knew that they were just joking around. She’s not Rob’s type at.all. Not too many women can say it, but I’m lucky to have found a man who finds bigger girls attractive and really doesn’t even turn an eye when a total skinny, big boobed knock out is walking past. One of these days my self esteem will raise from the toilet and this garbage won’t bother me.

I’ve already had lunch today – a weird one, but tasty – roasted chicken, tomatoes, cottage cheese and hot sauce warmed up…I’m pretty sure I’m full, but I’m bored – that makes it so hard to tell the difference. I still have some soup I was going to have with my lunch – I’ll wait for a bit and have a cup of tea or something first. Not that tea takes the boredom of the day away, but it’s not unnecessary food going down my throat. Actually, maybe I’ll go for the diet coke in my bag and read just a chapter or nine. I hate working.
