The boys are loving it here�but are getting into everything! At least Gunther didn�t have any accidents this time. No poopies or pees on the carpet in my bedroom! Good boy! He gets nervous sometimes. Poor little guy! My parents don�t understand though. They say he�s just lazy to go down to the potty box, but he doesn�t like their moggie cat, Punkie, who�s very territorial and hisses a lot at them. She is often downstairs and he�s scared of her. So I�ve been taking him down to the box every couple of hours just to make sure that there�s no accidents this time because there�s new carpet in mine and my sister�s room and also downstairs.
I read Carnie Wilson�s �Gut Feelings� book and also the sequel �I�m Still Hungry�. They are so good! I read so much of me in the first book. It was nice to know that the feelings and thoughts that I had were not weird. But it�s something that all Weight Loss Surgery (WLS) patients go through. It�s ok to be scared, it�s ok to feel frustrated etc. That book is about the journey of her always being overweight and the decision to have WLS and a couple of months after she had the surgery. The second book is about her life after surgery. It�s very good.
I brought a WLS book and both of Carnie�s books for my parents to read. I think that if they had a better understanding of the WLS from a different point of view, they might be more receptive to it. I have been talking until I�m blue in the face and they still don�t approve. I know that I don�t need their approval to have the surgery, but some support would be nice.
I�m out of Paid Time Off at work already. I�m freaking out about that because that means the first 5 days that I�m out of work for surgery will be unpaid! ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!! But, I was in Wal-Mart the other day and one of my old managers came up to me and begged me to come back part time again. She even said that I don�t have to cashier like I did last time, just come back and she�d put me anywhere I want to be. She said that she liked me working there and would work with me to come back. I�m thinking this is my only option at this point. So it looks like Wal-Mart here I come again! I�m not for sure though. :(
I�ve been having serious trust issues with certain people lately. I�m trying hard to work on them, but sometimes it just isn�t so easy especially when you don�t know what their alterior motive is or when you�re caught off guard and you start to doubt that you don�t know them as well as you thought.
I went on a movie date!!! Well, it wasn�t a date, it was just going to a move as friends�but he asked me!!! Can you believe it?!?! I was shocked!! And we�re going out to another movie soon. We have a few picked out that we want to see, we just have to work it out so our schedules allow us to be free for once. It�s the first time I�ve been asked to do anything one-on-one like that by a guy..even if he is just a friend... for�well�ever!! Ha!! =) It wasn't even meant 'like that' way, it was just two friends hanging out. I really enjoyed it. He must have to because one of our mutual friends came up to me and asked if I had a good time, because she heard from him that he did! lol!!
The boys have a new little brother coming home! He�s a little chocolate lynx mitted boy. He�s coming home on July 23rd! Yay!!! His name is Sebastian Cole Beckett. We�re going to call him Baz for short.
I guess that�s all for now�not much else going on.
