Suddenly *Not So* Single Journey

Some different kind of goals…

Author: thenicknick

I know that I have shied away from my typical Monday morning goal assessment lately.  And it’s certainly easy enough to understand why.  There have been so many changes lately, so many other things going on that I haven’t been able to take some of my goals as seriously, and other goals have cropped up that take the focus away from where it should be…improving me.

So…yeah, other than the fact that I walk my fat happy ass down the road every weekday morning rain or shine (make that rain or dark), I haven’t stepped on a scale in weeks.  Don’t get me wrong, I have my suspicions.  And I doubt that what I’ve been eating has helped me in the weight loss department.  Oh, but the pizza, chicken wings, and Chinese food have tasted oh so good.  And, as always, I have an excuse.  Ready.  It’s a good one.  I still don’t have an oven and my grill ran out of propane.  Don’t worry.  S is on the propane.  He has promised to get me a new tank…maybe even today!  And as soon as the squatters leave, we are taking my stove so I can cook again.

I’m really looking forward to the cooking.  I’ve promised lots of good food, like homemade mac and cheese and lasagna and cookies.  (I bake chocolate chip cookies from scratch.  It’s a dying art form.)  I know, lots of diet meals mentioned there, right?

Anyway…as for my other goals…

• The kids still love me.  I still love and like them.  It works out very nicely.
• Bishop is still mostly potty trained with the occasional accident that stems from me not watching him EVERY second.  He will just wander off and take a poo in Rachel’s room if we’re not watching.  I don’t know why it’s always her room.  And we probably shouldn’t tell her.  Shhhh.  (I mean it’s not like she reads the blog every day, right?  )
• S and I still have our ups and downs.  He still has his freak outs.  And I still talk him off the ledge.  We had a lovely weekend, for the most part.  (Bivens, be warned.  I’m going to be speaking to you about these emergency calls, what constitutes and emergency call, and the standard operating procedure for payment and completion of said calls.  Be ready!)
• Now, my happy place, the blog.  I had hoped to have 750 uniques for this month.  So far, I have 713 with a few days to go.  I’m so close!  And I’m working on finding a blogging job that will increase/supplement my income.  So, I’ve started applying to various ads.  With any luck, I’m getting closer and closer to what I really want to do and the kind of career/life I really want to have.  Wish me luck!

So, here’s my regular plea…share me, please!  I’m going to make you proud, I promise.  I’ll be clever, and witty, and at times…sarcastic.  (Probably a lot of the time.  It can’t be helped.)

In other news…

Today is Happy Divorce Day to me.  Sunday is the party.  Yes, there will be cake, which means that Monday there will be another diet excuse and cake pictures.  So much to look forward to!

And Friday…well, Friday is Happy Squatter Eviction Day.  The sheriff will be calling me between 9 and 4pm to come with my lock.  My phone tree is getting bigger and bigger.  My neighbors are hoping it’s later in the day so that they can all justify being home and starting the weekend early.  Oh, they’re a crazy bunch.  So, you can expect on final squatter-gate update…unless they have to move the rest of their stuff out within the following ten days.  In that case, there may be a second squatter story.  But, the end is in sight.  And it’s a big end, sort of like my rear end.

Speaking of…time to hike down the road.  Have a lovely day.  I’ll be thinking of ways to entertain you while I walk.
