Came home from work and hubby was at a rehearsal and then going to a concert.
I ate chicken salad for dinner.
at 6 pm I plunkered down at the computer and was going to get on line and do my thing. but knew that I was trying to change my computer usage....using it as a reward. So I got up and went to my desk and made out a deposit which took about an hour. I was going to break down then and have a cider and not go to the gym but I had already stated that I was going to the gym so I did not want to let anyone down, so I was accountable to you guys.
And went to the gym.

My clients daughter was there when I got there and we started talking, she is very up set with the staff at the assisted living facility that her dad lives in.
So we talked about about 20 minutes and I knew that I wanted to walk on the tred mill so I started my machine and so did she and we walked and talked at the same time.
When I hear about my clients/others not being treated well I get upset. I am going to talk with my friend who is the care giver of the elders/owners of the place. Ask her opinion of what she thinks of how I should respond.
sigh
I finished walking an hour which was very hard to do. I watched the ferguson news reports after the hearing results were announced. I was surprised by the results. Am afraid there will be riots now.
sigh
anyway, came home and now can sit on the computer and make my rounds of forums, facebook, blogs, emails etc.
I have the urge to drink, asked jeff if he wanted to watch a rerun of downton abby, he said no he was ready to go to bed. So I will wrap this up and get ready for bed myself.

Dear Bizi,

I am glad you stayed home. You got work done.
More importantly, you feel good about yourself.
Your stuff in the gym is totally amazing.

I hope the weekend works out the way you want it to.

11-24 AF walked 3.5 mph for one hour! Hard to complete and my feet are sore.I did walk last night and resisted the urge to drink.
I am going to look at drinking at home as lazy. So that will help me to avoid drinking at home. I do have half a case of ciders in my refrigerator. Not sure what to do with them, they remind me that I should not drink them, that I drink too many when I have just one they go down fast!
Mari, thanks for your continued support.

Bizi,

Can you just keep one cider in the refrigerator, and keep the others in a warmish place so they are not ready to drink? I don't know... maybe that could help you just have one, or at least slow down the drinking pace? You know, put a little speed bump on that slippery slope that is alcohol overindulgence?

This is an excellent plan.

[bizi]

Thanks for your support waves, that is a good idea about the ciders.

there is always ice

[waves]

I know, I've had beer with ice before. I've also drunk warm beer before, if iit wasn't too warm, and the other thing I do is put it in the freezer. But all of these things are less agreeable than having a perfectly cold beer ready to guzzle and another right behind it. Having to deal with ice or warm stuff is ugh. Waiting for the freezer is a PITA -- I set an alarm because I've forgotten and had them explode.

Mostly what I do, or try to do, is when I take one out I put another back in, so it gets cold while I drink the one... but often I forget. Ha.

All speed bumps. A lot of little speed bumps. No magic.

thanks waves...
I drank tonight.
cider and spiked egg nog.
yummmy!
