Sorry I haven't updated lately. I've been back to work full time and by the time I get home, I'm ready to hit the sheets!!!!!!!! I will tell you this though, I took my grandma to the grocery store today and normally by the time we're done, I'm exhausted. Well today I felt fine when we were done. I wasn't really all that tired. Plus tonight I went to a scrapbooking class!!!!!!!! I had soooooooooo much fun. I really think it's something I'm going to get into. You know, now that I have all this "extra" money :o) I was going to go and try to weigh in today, but I just didn't get up to the hospital. Too much going on today. I just can't believe how much fun I had tonight. The pages I did aren't as creative as some of the other ladies there, but hell, they've been doing it a lot longer than me. But anyway, I'm gonna make this short because I need to get to bed because I have to get up early tomorrow to go help my dad clean out my grandparents' yard. I'll try to write again tomorrow.

Man it's been a long time since I've updated my journal!!!!!!!! My friend Heidi was in town during Thanksgiving and she kindly informed me that I need to update it. So to all of you, I'm sorry it's taken so damn long. Too much has been going on. I've been trying to do a little overtime at work, which hasn't really been happening. It seems like whenever I try to put in overtime, all hell breaks loose. My grandma went to the doctor the week before Thanksgiving for a check-up and they ended up keeping her in overnight because they thought she was having congestive heart failure. Then the doctor tells her that it looks like she's had about 3 heart attacks the past couple of months. Heart attacks?!?!?!?!?! I don't remember her having any heart attacks. Anyway, she seems to be doing pretty well right now, so keep your fingers crossed. Then 3 days after Thanksgiving one of my uncles died. I swear, when it rains, it pours!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY went back to nights at work. My new schedule is 3 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. I started it tonight. Well technically last night because it's after midnight, but I'm not all that technical. It's weird being back. I missed it though. It's going to be weird getting use to it again, but one thing is I DON'T HAVE TO GET UP EARLY ANYMORE!!!!!!!! I'm DEFINITELY not a morning person. Switching subjects............I'VE NOW LOST A TOTAL OF 67LBS AND I CAN FINALLY WEIGH ON THE SCALE AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!! I tried weighing before I went to bed the other night and it actually read!!!!!!!!! I'm TOTAL psyched about it. That officially puts my weight at 340lbs. I'm FINALLY below 350lbs. I did take some 10 week post-op pictures, but I just need to finish the roll. I'm gonna take some new pics of my dogs to get rid of them so I can take them to be developed. I hope to have them posted by the end of the week. Thanksgiving went ok for me. I DEFINITELY wasn't looking forward to it, but I did make it through. Now I have to make it through my birthday, Christmas, and New Year's. My birthday is December 18th, Christmas is exactly one week later, and New Year's a week after that. It's all right in a row. I can't avoid it. You'll be proud though, I went and got my driver's license renewed today and you'll never believe what I did........I put my actual weight on it!!!!!!!! How crazy is that :o) No one ever puts their real weight, let along someone who is fat!!!!!!!! I was very proud of myself. Now I just hope I will have to renew it again in another year or so because it doesn't even look like me. Wouldn't that be awesome!!!!!!!! Anyway, I hope to be updating my journal more often now that I'm back to nights. It seems like I have more time when I get off work to do it. But I'm gonna sign off for now. More soon :o)
