It's been a few weeks, and a lot has happened. Hubby has joined WW with me. I'm tracking better than I have in years, I'm being honest with myself, and I'm up one week and down the next. Last week was up, so I'm hopeful that I'll lose this week. We bought candy for trick-or-treaters that neither of us liked. Blow pops and Airheads. Yech. But the kids seemed to appreciate it. The left overs are being sent to the daughters, so that's the end of it. We don't have a bunch of junk food in the house. So, I get frustrated when the scale doesn't show the results I would like it to.
Next up, the "lovely" nor'easter we got last weekend. We got a foot of snow dumped on us in OCTOBER. Yes, October. A freak storm, that dumped 11.5" of heavy, wet snow on most of southern NYS. We lost power for about 14 hours on Saturday night. Got power back on Sunday, but no cable, which also meant no phone or internet. Lost power again on Monday, for a few hours. When it came back on, the cable was back up. We were fortunate, some people were just getting their power back on last night (Wednesday). And parts of Connecticut won't get power back on until this weekend.
Last week, we had to put the "not-my-cat" down. She had stopped eating and drinking. So, we took her to the vet. There was a massive growth on her kidney, and there wasn't anything the vet could do. So, for the first time in 31 years, there is no furry critter in my house (that I'm aware of, of that I'm purposely taking care of). It's weird, and that also means that Hubby and I are really empty nesters. No kids, no cats, so it's been a rough week. The jury is still out on whether or not we will get another kitty.
On a happier note, I had a job interview today. It's to sub in another district. I had to wait for half an hour to see this guy. I had a headache going in, and after waiting for 30 minutes, it was really killing me. We'll see. He has to check my references, and then I have to get approved by the board, so hopefully, by next month, I can add that district to options for sub jobs.
I will try to be here a bit more often. What with the holidays coming, I will need to vent, express myself and whatnot. Happy November!
