Eating Well
I have been avoiding the basement lately. It is always the coolest part of the house and with this rotten cold I wanted to stay warm. I started to feel beter a few days ago but I still feel exhausted and run down. My eating habits always deterioriate when I get sick and with me using the best of what I do eat to feed Lizzy I am left to get well on crap. So I have been feeling too rotten to follow the walk to lose weight plan, but the pounds are melting off anyway.
Enough about that. Work was insane on Sunday. I kept getting my start time confused so instead of showing up with 20 minutes to review codes and catch up on everything I was 10 minutes late. Not a good way to impress the boss after being off for four months. I did not have time for any review and it was way too busy to use a till for practise. I jumped on cold and found that I remembered most of the codes and everything. I still can't remember broccoli crowns though. In my entire 4 and 1/2 hour shift I never had a moment without a line up. I did have several customers who remembered me and who were happy to see me back already. It was tough to be
away from Lizzy, but nice to get out. Even though the decision is made and I am working again I am still debating weather it was the right decision. I do like my work though and Lizzy is with Patrick, not just dumped into daycare. It is not much money, but feeling that I am earning something helps me feel like more of a partner in this family.
Patrick and I finished carving pumpkins on Monday but with both of us sick it was a half hearted effort. Patrick stayed home from work on Monday feeling crummy himself but also helping me out with Lizzy. On Haloween I barely wanted to get out of bed. Eventually I dressed Lizzy up in her costume and painted my face and Patrick's face. We definatly did not go all out and with the cold we just stayed inside. We had somewhere around 40 kids come by trick or treating. They liked the pumpkins. The rest of the week passed in a blur. I will try to post more now that I am feeling a little better.
