sooooo close ...

i can't believe it's been over a week since i last posted.  i really did think i was going to be more consistent with this.  i can tell you that even without the blog, i have been trying really hard to stay focused on the positive and ignore the negative.  some days are better than others.  last week had a few dicey moments but thankfully they didn't last long


i think another reason i might have been delayed in posting is that i really don't have all that much to report right now


here is what i do know


1) weight watchers is going well! i've lost 16 lbs in 3 weeks and it has not been as hard as i thought it was going to be ... i'm a little worried about next week, being on vacation, and having lots of free time ... but i'm going to do my best!


2) my vacation is soooo close i can almost taste it!!  3 more shifts at hospice and 1 more shift at the answering service and then it's over a week off!! from both jobs!! from commuting!!  from drama queens!!  from unhappy co-workers!! from cranky doctors not calling me back so i can deliver a message to them!!  and it's over a week to spend with my brother, sister-in-law and darling nieces!!  my favorite job in the world is being an auntie and that's what i get to spend my vaca doing!!


3) my debt is sooooo very close to being paid off ... i mean ... soooo very close.  when i look at where i started in sept of 2008 and where i am now, less than 4 years later ... it's amazing!  it's been a tough, lean 4 years with not a lot of extras at all but i am so thrilled to have this huge burden about to be loosened and gone forever!!


now i must sign off, because i have to start making my lists for vacation ... tomorrow night is my shopping night and i need to be prepared!!


should i blog while on vacation????? something i'm pondering ... 


night night all
