Well I have been off work since the 14th of November and the time has arrived for me to head back to the old grind of working 8 hours a day.
I am going back with mixed emotions. First I know I need to go back because John and I have this habit of wanting to eat 2 or 3 times a day. I think I feel more mentally alert when I do something besides watch TV and sit in the recliner. And I do miss all the people I work with and the students.
On the other hand, sometimes the people I work with and the students can be a real pain in the rear. Some days I enjoy waking up at 8:00 am instead of 4:45 am. Most of all I think those 2 or3 meals a day have made me feel like a blimp and now I am praying that I can still button and zip my work pants. Is there anyway to loose 10 lbs in two days beside cutting something off? If so respond as soon as possible.
My time off has been really enjoyable. We were able to take a trip to Nebraska to see Sarah, Cody and the kids. We went to Memphis for a long weekend to see Monica, Tim and the kids and Mark. Sondra, Jonathan and David came home for a week. Johnny had a couple of weeks off to spend with John Pearson and Emily, so these last few weeks have been full of family, friends, food and celebrating.
We are so happy that we were able to make it through this year safe and sound. We look forward to the year to come and hope it is every bit as good as the one just past.
