With the way my life has been going lately, I don't know even what day it is anymore. Nothing bad has happened, which is a good thing. But my work schedule has been hectic. We were on a swing shift since Jan of this year. Then it was decided we would go back to a permanent shift but there would be some staff changes. Man here we go again, disrupting everyones lifes to benefit a few people. After all the dust has settled I now work the midnight shift. I honestly don't mind this shift. Now getting used to a new sleeping pattern, thats the hard part. So far I am doing ok. With as much trouble that has been going on, I am happy and content to work this shift. You don't see any of the administrative powers that be. You don't get caught up in any of the drama that is going on. You just lay back and relax and do your job without most of the hassles.
I was able to go again to another Nascar race in June of this year with my mother. I know the directions but they slipped in a new stop light on the road we get onto off of the interstate. I thought we had gone to far so I turned around and ended up going way out of our way. But I now know like 3 different ways to get to the track. I made notes to myself on the directions so I run into problems next time. My mother and I are going again in August and my sister and my daughter are also going. We had wonderful seats right on start/finish line row 3. Its an amazing feeling sitting so close to the track. This next time we are one row closer. Can't wait to go back.
I am still doing great on my weight loss. I am now up to 174lbs lost. I have pretty much had to buy all new clothes. Could not take in my pants anymore. I am now wearing shorts and capri pants. which is something I would have never done before. Its amazing at how much energy I have. Yesterday at the family reunion 4th of July picnic that was held at a park, I actually got an opportunity to swing on the swings. I can't remember the last time I actually fit on a swing. It was a wonderful feeling. One of my aunts asked "who is that lady sitting over there in the pink shirt?". My cousin said it was me, and my aunt didn't believe it. She came over and gave me a hug and told me the story and said I looked great. It made me feel good. There always is a new thing that comes up daily it seems for me in the way things fit, what I can do, how I feel, and the list goes on and on. These things may not mean anything to anyone else, because they are just things people take for granted, but for me they are "WOW" moments. I can't wait to see what the next WOW moment will be.
The new pic was taken at the race in June. I have to laugh though, I am so short that my capris look more like pants on me.
