Hello all!
I’m going to try to be a better blogger. Seriously. I’ve had some new folks stop by (Hi and Welcome!) and I know I have so many faithfuls that still follow despite my flakiness.
But I’m back.
I feel like I should let everyone know exactly where I’ve been.
Over the past 11 days, we have spent 16 hours in the car. We live 2 hours from our hometown. In the last week and a half, we’ve made emergency trips home to see grandparents, to be with a father who had open heart surgery, and to attend a funeral for a grandmother. And Thanksgiving dinner was in the middle.
And work? Yeah. I missed a day and a half last week. A sick day this week. Plus a day and a half this week. Do I get any berevement leave? Nope. So that means that I have now used up half of the Christmas vacation I had planned on taking. I’m really unhappy about that too.
But the good news is that my grandfather had a great Thanksgiving, and he looked really good when we saw him today. And that makes everything okay.
So I’m trying really hard to get back on. Everything. I’ll let you know how it goes.
At least you had a good reason for being absent — being with the family is important during high stress times and a lot of people would have phoned it in to keep Christmas vacation instead. But I’m glad you’re back to blogging again. The fatosphere is less interesting when you’re not around.
PS. Concert a week from tomorrow! WOOOO!
Thinking of you and sending prayers your way. Glad to see your post. Missed YA!
Thanks for your site. I need the encouragement and found it here.
Come and read my real life story and how it worked for me. http://nicolesweightloss.true.ws/
Sorry to hear you’re dealing with so much lately. I’m glad your grandfather is looking good though. I’ve been rather flaky on the blogging too (even more so than you). I think about it, but just don’t have time when I can finally sit down. I’ve been really sick for over a week now and missed work twice. I’m feeling a little better now. :) Anyway, I just wanted to stop over and say Happy Holidays and let you know I’ve been thinking about you.
This is not about figgy pudding OR bacon!
