This won't be a long post, just another little update.

I've been following weight watchers throughout my whole stressful situation. I used to be one of those stress eating people. By that i mean, that anytime i felt the least bit stressed i used to eat chocolate or chips or any junkfood that i had sitting around. Well i've given that up. I refuse to stress eat because what does that solve? Nothing!

So i woke up this morning and got on the scale, I'VE LOST 2 MORE POUNDS!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! :)

That's all i wanted to say for now, i'm off to sleep.

*hugs*

Just a little update.

Supposedly the water has been fixed and isn't leaking anymore. I'm going to talk to the water company when i get the bill and see what they say. Then i will talk to the landlord. i tried talking to him tonight, he's like well the water company should give you a discount. I'm like well what if they don't? All he said is to get back to him. I'm not really sure what that means.

So i'm trying not to worry about it for right now. All it is doing is giving me migraines and stressing me out and making me cry.

I just wanted to tell everyone thank you for being there and giving advice and *hugs*. I really appreciate it!!

*hugs*

:( *cries :( 

Yep, today was a horrible monday. It was going ok until i checked my voicemail. I had a call from the water company saying that my water usage for this last month was 4000 gallons, the most i've ever used is 1500. So i have a water leak somewhere. I called my landlord and he is trying to fix it. He thinks it has something to do with the water heater but he's not sure. Supposedly the water is only doing a slow drip. He turned it back on so i could have water this evening. Hopefully he can get it fixed on Tuesday.

Of course, I cried when i found out. I have no idea how i'm going to pay that bill.

I didn't really do much this weekend. I was so tired because of my work week last week. I did watch some movies and enjoyed the weather. I stayed on the water plan and weight watchers. :) I also watched the Nascar race. My #1 driver's brother won. woooohoooo! 

Then i find out my brother is still having problems with a family member. It's not a good situation and it worries me. I don't have the energy to post about it. Just be prepared for when i do because i'm sure it will be long. I don't feel like talking about it now, i'll just end up crying. so moving on

Overall it was a good weekend.  Spring is finally here. It was so beautiful this weekend, sun shining and 70's. I had the windows open all weekend. :)

The movies I watched:

1. The Jackal  This has Bruce Willis and Richard Gere in it. I thought oh this should be a good movie. Well it was ok, not sure if i will rewatch it anytime soon. It is a little on the violent side, or at least that's what i thought.

2. Armageddon This movie is good. It has alot of actors like Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler and much more. It is about an asteroid getting ready to hit earth. Can earth be saved? You'll have to watch to find out the answer. ;) I think i've seen this movie about 10 times now or more.

3. Dances with Wolves You have to see this movie! This movie was awesome and beautiful. It is set in the Civil War time period and it tells the story of the Indians. I can't really tell to much more or i will give the entire plot away. It is a long movie but i think it is worth it.

4. Casablanca This is an old time classic that you have to see! I LOVED THIS MOVIE! It is a beautiful love story. I think i'll have to watch this one at least a 100000 more times.

*hugs*

So the rest of the week was alot slower at work. Normally I work 4, 10 hour days, this week i had to work 5 8 hour days and i'm more worn out this week than i normally am. I'm not really understanding that one, but oh well. I'm so glad the week is over, it was a very long week. I didn't think work was ever going to end today. lol

I've still been following weight watchers and doing well. I've LOST 2 MORE POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! Go me!!! :) That's a total of 16 pounds so far this year.

I've still been drinking between 50-70 ounces of water a day, depends on the day.

*hugs to everyone*

Just a little post here.

I've been in a good mood so far this week. Supposedly work is supposed to be slow because everyone is supposed to be on spring break. However i think we forgot to tell the customers that they are supposed to be on spring break. lol We have been down about 50 prescriptions a day, that isn't down to me. We are still filling over 350 a day. That's like a normal day. It's ok though, i would rather be busy than stand around and stare at each other.

I've been following weight watchers still. I've managed to drink about 50-70 ounces of water a day, depending on the day. :) I just need to get into the whole exercise thing.

I finally got my state tax refund back, now i'm just waiting for the federal and then i can meet with the lawyer. :)

Things are getting better. :) Spring is here. :) I love springtime!

*hugs to everyone*

An Inconvient Truth

You have to see this documentary. I ended up watching it twice. I thought oh it's just about global warming. Since i watched it twice, i'm just amazed. It was sad, scary and the most frightening thing i've seen in along time. It's about global warming and what it is doing to earth. The pictures that were shown, glaciers melting at a record speed, mountains that are usually covered in snow, having less snow, dried up rivers, etc. It was so sad. I can't describe it in the detail to give it justice.

I know i probably sound like a commercial but you have to see this documentary. We need to do what we can. Under the TAke Action link on the site is a whole list of things you can do to help out. It scared me enough to do some of these things.

I didn't really do much this weekend. I just felt like being lazy and it felt so nice. I watched some movies, which i will put down at the bottom of this post.

I watched the Nascar cup race and my #2 driver won JIMMIE JOHNSON!!!!WOOOOOOOOOOOOH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

That made it a great day! I changed my water goal to 70 ounces. I didn't have any problem today drinking that much. I know it may take me a few days to get there but every bit of water counts. I would like to keep my water range in between 48-70 ounces of water a day. woooohoooooo go me!

I've still been following weight watchers. :)

Overall it was a great weekend. Things are getting better. :)

*hugs to everyone*

Some movies i watched:

1. An inconvient truth You have to watch this documentary. Will probably make a seperate post for this one.

2. Firewall This movie was a good movie. It has Harrison Ford in it, an added bonus. ;)

3. 16 Blocks You have to see this movie. It was a really good movie. Especially if you like action/police movies.

4. The Jungle Book Now this movie, i thought it was going to be cheesy and i would have to turn it off halfway through. I ended up watching the whole thing and liked it. It was a cute movie.

5. Black Beauty I loved this movie. It is a beautiful movie about a horse's life. I've always wanted a horse of my own though.

Wow, It's been almost a week since i posted last. I've just been feeling really down this week. I know i shouldn't be that way but i don't like to bother people with my problems. When i get this down, i just want to runaway, but i don't, instead i just cry. What started it all was the one creditor phone call that i got at work, the one i posted about on the 9th. I'm usually a person that keeps most things that bother me inside, until i found tblog.  I just haven't had the energy this week to come home and vent on tblog. When i'm this down and i vent, i usually end up crying more than i already have. I haven't really been sleeping that well this week either, usually when i'm stressed and down i get maybe 5 hours a night. To add to my stress and crying, work wasn't great this week. We had people call in all week, so that left us shorthanded. It wasn't a fun week at all.

Finally, Friday morning around 3amish, i laid down and i passed out for 10-11 hours. I had set my alarm for earlier but i just shut it off. I just wanted to sleep because i was exhausted. I woke up feeling better than i had in days. I've been in a good mood all day. wooohooooo!!! I came up with a plan today too. Once the tax refund gets in the bank, i'm going to set up a meeting with my lawyer, just to touch base to make sure i'm on track with paperwork and ask any questions i have. Once i pay him i can forward all phone calls and letters to him. I will still owe him about $300 but at least i will be closer to my goal and i won't be bothered with them. This has actually helped put me in a better mood. At least now i have a plan of action.  :)

I did manage to drink all of my water this week, 48 ounces every day. I also followed the weight watchers plan everyday. No weight loss yet, but i think i've lost inches. Customers have made comments to me this week about it. woooooooooooooohoooooooo go me! Now if only the scale would move some. :)

I'm off to sleep because it's 4am. I'll post more tomorrow or later today depending on how you look at it. I'm sorry if i rambled and didn't make any sense. I just wanted to post/vent about what i had been feeling this week.

*hugs to everyone*

I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and friendship. *hugs* 

Friday

It was a very long day. I only got 3 hours of sleep and worked 11 hours. My feet hurt so bad again because of standing in one place. I didn't eat a salad or drink any of my water. I did go to my dad's and do my taxes. Once i get my tax refund i will only have about 300 left to pay the lawyer. It's just getting that much money now.

I guess a creditor called on Friday morning before i got there. My employer told them not to call again because it is a place of employment. So hopefully they won't call back and if they do pretty soon i will be able to forward them to my lawyer.

My boss decided to buy everyone who worked Friday lunch. It was so nice of her to do that and it was so good. :)

Saturday

I slept 11 hours and it was so nice. I didn't really do much besides that. I went to the grocery store and got some groceries. I've decided to do weight watchers again. I'm not paying the money, because i have all of the information and i couldn't afford to pay them anyway. A co-worker is going to weight watchers and she is willing to help me if i need any information.

Then i spent the rest of the night watching movies. Movies listed at the bottom of this post.

Sunday

The weather was so nice, 60 degrees. I had a little picnic outside  and enjoyed the weather. It was so nice just to sit there and not worry about anything.

Here's the movies:

1. The Chronicles of Narnia -I absolutely loved this movie. I can definitely see myself owning this one. :)

2. Man of the Year - This was a good, funny movie.

3. Beethoven- I love movies like this. It made me laugh so many times.

Overall it was a great weekend. Things are getting better. :)

*hugs to everyone*

Have you ever reached the point where you just want to scream, cry, or run away?

Well, i'm there at this moment. I have so much on my mind that i'm just over it. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhh <-just me screaming. I've already cried today. The next thing is to run away, that really isn't a possiblity but it would be nice.

Today at work i had a collection agency call me and wanted me to pay the amount in full today. I'm like i have no money. I tried telling them that can't call me at my work but they wouldn't listen and i couldn't think of the name of the act that protects you. I even told them that they would hear from my attorney because i will be filing bankruptcy. The lady wouldn't listen to anything i said, so i hung up on them. The same person called back less than 5 minutes later. The lady wouldn't let me get a word in, so finally i just yelled into the phone, i'm at work and you are not allowed to call me here. goodbye!

Of course, i was shaken up by this whole thing and managed to hold it together while i was on the phone but as soon as i hung up the phone i started crying. So i've cried off and on all day long, which is not good. On top of this work was just crazy busy today. No wonder i have a headache.

Then i find out today that my brother is going through some things with a family member and it is just stupid. I don't really have the energy to post about it tonight or anytime soon because it is a long story. Someday i'm sure i'll have the energy to post about it. It's just hard because he is my younger brother and i just want to protect him. So then i started crying because i just hurt for him but i know i can't get involved that much. It's his battle. All i can do is be there for him.

My feet haven't been hurting that much except today they hurt really bad. It's because i had to stand in one place and type on the computer. I've noticed that if i'm able to walk around and wait on customers, my feet barely hurt. If i have to stand there for hours, my feet hurt so bad. I don't understand that one.  

I've been trying to be positive but today i just don't know. I did drink my 24 ounces of water and ate 1 salad. That was about the best thing that happened today. lol I know that isn't much.

I did come home and write the name of the act down so tomorrow if they call i can say look, and read it off to them. I also wrote down what the act says about calling me at work, so i can get them to stop harassing me.

I am going to finally do my taxes this weekend and whenever i get that money back, however much it is, i should be able to send it all to the lawyer. I'm going to have them e-file so it gets into my account faster. I just hope it's enough and i don't have to save that much more. I don't know how much more i can take of the harrassing phone calls.

Anyway hope i didn't ramble too much and hope that you can read it. I'm tired and have to work 11 hours tomorrow and have to be up early, so i'm off to get what sleep i can. Thanks for listening. *hugs*

Sunday

I got up and exercised. I put in a Richard Simmon's dance tape that i borrowed from my step-mom. She's letting me borrow it until whenever. She never even opened it up. I exercised about 30 minutes. Then i spent the rest of the day watching movies. I did a little bit of work stuff, that i had to catch up on. I watched Pretty Woman, Big Daddy, and Liar Liar.

Monday

I'm off work again today. My work schedule is a little bit different this week. So i ended up having a 4 day weekend. wooooooooooohoooooooooooo oo! I got up and ran to town for some more salad stuff. Then i came back and exercised, this time i did 15 minutes of Richard Simmons and 15 minutes of Taebo.  I ate my salads but only drank 24 ounces of water today.  It felt so good to have 4 days off, now i have to go back to work. No more on the weight loss, still the same. At least i haven't gained any, woohoooo go me!

Oh so i go to the online student loan website and check my account information. I applied for a program that delays me paying them. I got approved. I don't have to pay them until January! wooooooohoooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooo At that time I can reapply for the same program if i'm still not in a good financial situation or try to apply for a program that brings the monthly amount down. That really made my day!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO ! :)

*hugs* to everyone

 Thursday was a better day, not great but better. I drank my water and ate my salads. It was the last day of my work week. :)

 Friday i woke up with a migraine (it finally broke way later). I decided to treat myself to a papa john's pizza, the chicken alfredo spinach tomato pizza. YUMMY!!!!!!!!! I absolutely LOVE this pizza. Then i stopped by my dad's and raided his movies. I did drink my water but i didn't eat any salads. So i spent the rest of friday night watching movies.

Saturday i got up and ran to the grocery store for some vegetables. I did eat my salads but only drank half of my water. I spent all of Saturday watching movies. Usually after a stressful week i like to just be a bum and watch movies. It's my way of taking a vacation from life.

I haven't exercised since Wednesday. I will probably exercise on Sunday. :) I'm missing it.

The movies i watched on Friday and Saturday are:

1. Crash  I loved this movie. At first i wasn't sure if i would like it, but it is a great movie.

2. Million Dollar Baby This is a great movie! Just a hint of advice when you watch this movie. Make sure you have tissues ready. I bawled and bawled and then bawled some more. Even though i cried alot watching this movie, it is definitely worth watching.

3.Flyboys This movie is a WW1 movie. Now normally i don't like war movies but this one has enough of a love story and a friendship story that it is a great movie.

4. Polar Express  I thought this movie wasn't going to be any good. I almost didn't watch it. It is a kids movie but i enjoyed it. You just have to believe. ;)

5. All the Kings Men I didn't really care for this movie. It seemed to drag on and on.

6. Donnie Darko  This is a sci-fi movie. I HATED this movie. Some sci-fi movies i can watch but this one, i'll just let you be the judge of it. You might like it.

7. The BodyGuard This one was a classic. I love to watch the old classic movies.

Hope you enjoy these movies. It was a great way to spend 2 days. :)

*hugs to everyone*
