It’s A New Year

It's January 2010 and there's plenty on my mind.

Indianapolis: Ray moved to Indy the first week of December '09. I'm still in Alabama. I have not enjoyed living apart, yet there are folks witho whom we work which have done it for months at a time and one couple which have lived apart for a year and a half already. I just can't imagine. I've had one job interview and was no'ed due to my lack of floor experience. Not meaning to be a snot about it, but I do have floor experience and since they had just gotten the TPR and some other reports and programs with which I am very familiar, I could have been a big help. But that's okay. I just have to believe that the Lord has something better planned for me.

I do have an interview for another position Tuesday 1/12 at 10:00. It is a step down from what I am currently doing, but that's okay. My ego isn't wrapped up in my job title. Then again, there is a small part of me that really likes being the "boss". I figure it'll give me a chance to prove I can run an operation on the floor and work my way up...again. Very similar to the situation in Baytown now that I think about it. Hmm...

Blood Pressure: Mine is high. It has come down from what I was running in May of '09, but still isn't at an ideal level. It runs around the lower 130's over the mid to high 90's, and randomly peaks. I was eating poorly, stressed and overweight (236 lbs). I have addressed some of this by improving my eating habits and am losing weight (200 lbs). I'm still working on the stress piece. Maybe stepping down to an area manager will be good for me. I will only work 4 days a week instead of being responsible for a 24/7 operation. Wow, that actually sounds appealing. If I get the job, we'll see how long it takes me to get bored.

Lease: Moving to Indy before August will require us to break our lease. I've never done that before and it makes me nervous. It also makes me sad because I had a contract with someone and I will have to break it. It makes me feel slimy, like I've gone back on my word. My grandpa wouldn't have like that at all.

Family: While I don't get to see them very often, I'd like to see them more, especially Farrah and Claudia. They always make me smile. Claudia is just a mess! Dad always keeps up with me and how Ray and I are doing...since he has so much time off *cough*. And mom is mom. She's always up to something. :o)

So what's my resolution for the year?
Get off the BP meds!
This involves me continuing to eat better and continuing to lose weight. It will also involve me getting active. We'll work on that one soon.
