There Can Be No Testimony Without the Test

Or at least that's what one of my favorite preachers says. 

Today I woke up after 5 hours of sleep to find my bathroom flooded all the way into my neighbor's apartment.  I go to work, feeling zero enthusiasm about doing so, hoping for a half day so I can come home and nap.  No such luck.  Today was free listing day on Ebay, so that meant I had to prepare auctions to go up ASAP.  I worked late, missing my walk. 

If there was a day that would make me want to cheat, today was that day.  Talk about feeling the urge to indulge.  I was ready to spoil myself and how.  No walk, no bike, eating out and sleep most of the evening away.  However, hubby pulled a rabbit out of his hat (or should I say, a cat) and managed to pull me out of my funk for the most part.  We have a new critter, and when he's finished behing camera shy I'll get his photo up here.  His name is Romeow, because he's a little lover boy.  We got him from the Pet Rescue, and his poor little tail didn't survive the scrape he obviously had. 

So my mood elevated but not my energy, and I had to force myself to ride the bike.  I didn't get my walk and felt mighty bad about that, so I made sure I not only rode my bike but I rode it 30 mins this time. 

I came home to eat the leftover lime jello treat I talked about yesterday and found my oldest had cleaned it up while I was at work.  : - |  Teenagers.  The best cure to overeating because there isn't ever any FOOD. 

I am very grateful though how well the journal is being received, and really glad Monica, the Queen Goddess of Weight Loss got the recognition she deserved by being picked #1.  Go Mon! 

So I latched my lasso to all of y'all and got through the day.

Thanks :)
