The December 1st Word is Terrene

So, if you are just guessing, this is not for soup which would be a tureen and it is not an ingredient in fast weight loss pills and energy drinks which is taurine and is an amino acid. It's ok if you cheat and look it up. At least by doing that you are taking the time to learn a new word. I love learning new words. It expands our vocabulary and ways to express ourselves. Have fun!

December 1st, back on track?

I need to get back on track with my diet and excercise program but it has not been easy. Being out of work during the winter when it's cold and gets dark early definitely has an impact on me physiologically. (that's first time I've typed that word!)It would seem I have had mild altercations with the blahs over the last couple of months. Some days I just let them win and other days I have to lock them in the closet so I can get something accomplished. Monday I had a very nice visit with a friend down in Snohomish and really enjoyed my day. Came and home and was able to accomplish quite a bit. Tuesday was a "big chair" kind of day. My big chair is one of those "chair and half" numbers with the almost as big ottoman. My big dog sleeps at my feet on the ottoman and I curl up under a blanket on the chair part. There is plenty of room for both of us. Tuesday was not a good day for conversations either but I ventured into one that I later regretted. Enough said. Wednesday I had a job interview for a position that I was sure would not be right for me and would be too far away and I had all but written it off but decided to talk with the man anyhow. I'm now glad that I did. I ended up spending an hour and 45 minutes with the man and if I can come to terms with the distance, could probably go to work for him. He and I will both be ready to make a decision by the end of the month so we'll see where that leads. Today I drove to the same place, during the heavy commute time, to see if I was willing to deal with the drive. It wasn't horrible, it took an hour and 5 minutes (without stopping for coffee), so I'm probably looking at and hour and 15. That's quite a trip for 33 miles and working 8 to 5. And the hours are not flexible. Alot to consider. When I got back I curled up in the big chair again and hung out watching tv and dozing off an on until almost noon. I know huh? Not being lazy though. I didn't sleep well last night. I kept waking up because 1)I was too hot, 2) I think I was snoring, 3) Hilo's legs keep spazzing out when he sleeps and it wakes me up, and 4)I was extremely thirsty. I went downstairs and brought up water and woke up twice to drink it. Very odd night. Then later today I went with Jim to the doctor and back. So, here we are. Not yet at the end of the first day of December and wondering what the month will bring for me. Film at 11:00 I guess.
