long day no workout & other stuff

[Guest guest]

Holy cow... what a day. Up at 5:30, at WW At Work meeting #1 by 6:20. Then foot doc at 7:40 (more u/s, heels are a lot better and a shot in the hip because apparently all the soreness in my foot was a reaction to the steroid shot there, fun). Home for about an hour, then dermatologist at 9:15 to recheck a spot on my face (looks fine, recheck in 6 months to be sure). Home for another hour, then off to WW at Work#2. Home again for a whole 90 minutes in a row (and without anyone else in the house finally, DH had an interview). It was heaven. Then picked up girl child at school because she had massive homework due tomorrow and dance class tonight (in a can't miss situation, recital is June 4). Then had another 90 minutes at home (with both kids) and then off to work in a WW center subbing for a receptionist. Finally home at 7:30 PM and DH, bless him, volunteered to pick up girl child at dance at 9(usually I drop off, he picks up but tonight he did both) because he knew I'd be exhausted, I am. Add to all that stress about my phone, stress about DH and employment and AF arrived. Lovely. I did consider trying to do some kind of exercise during my 90 minutes home alone but it was so pleasant to sit on the couch and play on the computer that I just couldn't get up to do anything else. DH has had our only computer from 8 AM - 5 PM every day this week. He's been working extremely hard and also has been extremely productive so I'm not actually complaining but the changes to my routines have been intense (so, add that to my stress pile too).

Today's interview was with a recruiter who doesn't have anything right this second but wanted to meet DH and start things going with trying to find something. Another recruiter was supposed to call him with some opportunities he thought might be good but didn't and wasn't in the office when DH called him (hope all is well and that they'll connect tomorrow). He also got in touch with an old supervisor who is working somewhere else now with several other people from his former workplace (where he was laid off from in 2008 along with several of those guys) and that guy said he thought they might be hiring more tech writers soon and DH should get him his resume and he'll walk it around. So... much happening, much possibilities but only one more week until our last paycheck from his job. We'll be able to pay the June mortgage and car payment with it and then I just have to pray there's a new paycheck for July. My own income is going down too because 2 WW At Work classes did not renew this month (neither got enough people to sign up, summer is a killer for us) and I've got two more that will be registering for new sessions in the next few weeks that are struggling to keep going so I don't know if they will. Each of those class is around $100/month, some more than that so it is very troubling to lose any right now. I am picking up subbing jobs and one of my managers is sending me to extra (paid) training so I'm even more able to sub in a variety of situations (as leader and receptionist) so that will help some. I'm trying to stay hopeful and desperately need some kind of workout tomorrow to help settle me down too. I'm moving so fast lately that I'm literally only thinking one minute to the next and in reactive mode instead of planning and proactive like I prefer. Tomorrow is my day off and I'm hoping to have a little bit of time just to think for a while (but I'll also be cleaning house because turned 14 Monday and the family is coming over Sunday to celebrate). Okay, I think I'm done unloading now...

If you read all this... thank you so much for listening!!!!
