Struggling a bit

[jay]

Thanks for your collective support yesterday :-). I went home and crashed after dinner, sleeping 10 hours. Leaving the dishes undone, sigh. Two of three relationships have felt shaky over the past week, and I've been struggling to not obsess or lose focus altogether.

It doesn't help that I'm also dealing with weight issues -- over the past three trips, I've gained 11 lbs. Lack of exercise and too much travel have been prime culprits. But (body image) just looking at myself is depressing... my clothes are tight, and I'm now 23 lbs over my actuarial ideal weight. And (health) my blood pressure, which closely tracks my weight, is up to its highest level ever -- 140/95. I have a lot of work to do.

This morning... 7:30am and I've already had my first call from JL, and I'm busy working from home.

Oh, nuts :-(

it was characteristic of what's been happening to me this year...

Uh-huh :-(

Still, glad you got your lunch date together :-)

Yeah, it was a bummer. 4 accidents! Plus, in the hour and a half before we left for lunch, I had 2 phone calls from a friend at inconvenient moments, one asking me a technical question about the mail servers that I couldn't answer, 3 from Brian about being late, and 3 from the dentist asking about our current insurance policy AND for a visit they hadn't been reimbursed on from 2002 (requiring me to look up information that was no longer at my fingertips due to having my wallet stolen in August), as well as trying to get dressed again (I HAD been thinking I'd exercise at home--hah!), pick up Allegra's room, get bed linens set out and unsuccessfully look for money to pay the maids who (theoretically) should arrive while I'm out to lunch (!) with Brian.

At least we had a nice lunch, and I got to fill Brian in on all the happenings for us in Scotland!

Hopefully next time will be better, and we'll be able to walk to sushi. *sigh*

It was still a nice lunch, even if we were both a bit strained. And next time we'll walk. Did you find the 2002 information for the dentist?

Yep. Metlife Primary, and Delta Dental secondary, as of that visit in 5/02.
