So, it's been weird.
My sister-in-law passed away on Monday. She was Argus' oldest brother's wife - not someone we really knew, but still, family. The wake is tonight - I got the night off from work to go with him down to the viewing.
I got my latest infusion yesterday - part of it includes a weigh-in. Ugh. 282 pounds - I've never been this heavy. YUCK!!! Talk about a kick in the pants - going to swim later today (I want to get Argus to go over with me before we go down to Worcester) and will be swimming/fighting/cycling every chance I get. I have 8 weeks before I go back and they'll weigh me again - I'd love to drop 10 lbs (they say 1-2 lbs a week is a good goal).
So it's back to the gym. And watching what I eat. And hoping to avoid the holiday pitfalls. :p But I'm not going overboard. The last thing I need is more stress. Which is why swimming is so good - no competing, no one yelling at me. Just me and my body. Same reason I love the stationary bikes and treadmills. Because I'm sorry - this Southern girl does NOT like going outside in the winter to exercise!!! :p
Okay, enough of that. Now time to do a wee bit of clean-up and start the first batch of chocolates hardening (my coworkers and family are getting all sorts of yummy treats for Christmas), then write. Argus and I should be heading out by 5 or so, so I have some time. And I think I'm taking the whole night off from work - just not into dealing with customers after a wake.
