Suddenly *Not So* Single Journey

Happy Monday!

Author: thenicknick

Right now, at this very moment, I feel like my life is on target.  For the first time in a long time, life makes sense and I’m headed the right direction.  (Or could this be two weeks in a row?)  So, as you may have guessed…I’m happy.  And happy is so good for a change.

To start with:

• I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale without fear.  And it’s official.  I have lost 10.2 pounds in two weeks.  For me, that’s a huge accomplishment.  And a bit of a disappointment.  I’m a bit swollen today.  I’m a water retainer and last night we had chicken wings and dipped them in buffalo sauce.  Really good, but the extra salt kinda hurts today.  I’m not letting that discourage me.  In a few minutes, I’ll be hiking down the road for my morning walk.  And that makes me even happier.
• The kids still love me, but Rachel and I are having an issue right now.  And it’s not the kind of issue I want to blog about.  I love you, Rachel!  And someday, you may look back on all of this and thank me for caring about you and looking out for your best interests.  In the mean time, I know I’m the mean mom who won’t let you do what you want.  And because I love you, and want only the best for you, I can live with that.  (Okay, people, but that’s all you’re getting.)
• And then there’s S.  Our life has been ridiculously stressful lately.  And it has taken a toll on our relationship.  As with all relationships, I truly believe that it’s not about never having issues, it’s  about whether or not you can fix them or care enough to even try.  Well, S spent the weekend showing me how much he cares.  If I ever doubted him before, I never will again.  And if you need proof, I can show you my Sam’s Club card.  (Or, for those of you I don’t see in person in Charlotte, I’ll blog about it later.  Last night, he said I could.  Yay!)
• Finally, there’s the blog, and my writing.  I’m looking forward to doing more writing today than I’ve been able to do in a long time.  And I get to write uninterrupted (fingers crossed) since I have the whole house to myself.  God bless holidays!  On top of that, my blog has gained popularity since I won the laptop from Giyen on Bacon is my Enemy and she posted about me.  (Thank you, Giyen.  Really.  I can’t say it enough.)

So, I have plenty to smile about, plenty of good going on in my life to overshadow the BS I’m still coping with.  And that is good enough.
