The Flu has got me down!

I have been sick with the flu since last Friday.   I went to the doctor on Wednesday and was started on antibiotics.  I'm not sure the antibiotics are helping but they certainly haven't hurt.  I'm tired, have a productive cough and can't hear out of my right ear.  I haven't worked all week - making this 2 weeks off since I was on vacation the week before.  I'm hoping to be back to work on Monday.  I need to work OT so I can work on paying of some of these bills.  Tonight is my last night at home I'm back downtown tomorrow.  As much as I love the condo downtown I miss my house, my family and the 2 M's.   I need to start working on my goals the first is to get my health on track with exercise and diet.  This bug has really taken me down I need to work myself back up and get healthy. 

Christmas Celebration and Another One Leaves the Nest

 

Today we celebrated Christmas with the girls we also said good bye to D3.  D3 is starting a new job in Springfield.   Springfield is where her boyfriend lives with his family.  I'm sad to see her go but I think it is a good move for her.  She needs to see if this relationship is the one and the only way to do that is to spend some quality time together.  She sounded excited when I talked to her this evening.  I hope everything goes well with her new job.  Her dad is sad he is going to miss her and so is Miss. M.  

 

For Christmas the girls put a picture frame together with pictures of all the events in 2012.  I have to say it is my favorite Christmas gift of the year. 

 

Tomorrow I start a diet after having a week off and ending the week with the flu I have discovered that I need to get my act together.  My focus will be getting healthy by loosing weight and exercising on a regular basis.  Many of the health issues my mother is suffering from are from poor diet and lack of exercise.  I can see myself falling in the same trap.  It is time to get it together. 

I need to start 2013 over

My no spend year hasn't started well.  I need to get back to work and stop on-line shopping.  So the year starts tomorrow.  Today was a total bust.  I spent money on things I didn't need.  I also ate poorly and haven't exercised at all this entire vacation.  I also have a cold.  M.M. got her haircut today she looks adorable.  They never put bows in her hair but today she got bows.  I don't think she likes them I know for sure M2 hates them.   Tomorrow is my last official vacation day.  We are suppose to go to dinner with Mr. J's parents I'm hoping I feel better because right know I'm not up to it.
