Day 438
Weight 184.4 (down 1.6 lbs)

Back in my 'range' ... once again!! That's the good news. The bad news is that hubby appears to have come down with a cold virus and I think I'm starting to sniffle as well. I've been faithfully downing Emergen-C and using Zicam so hopefully I won't get hit too hard. He actually is staying home today in hopes of seeing a doctor. Probably a good idea, given how run down he has been.

I have a very busy day ahead of me. Tomorrow is furlough Friday so today I guess is officially my "Friday." The Idaho State Legislature is done with the State's budget for fiscal 2011. There is a 20% cut to the state agency I work for from the 2009 fiscal budget. We received an email letting us know 'serious' cuts would have to be made and we should know by April 6th. It will be whatever it is going to be. I will be glad to know because then if I need to do something different, income wise, I can begin to plan and move in that direction. As long as we have a roof over our heads, food in our bellies and heat in our stove I think we'll be okay. Times are tough all over for so many of us.

I am grateful ...

1. for the presence of mind to remember that 'underneath are the everlasting arms'
2. A L M O S T being caught up on some of my paperwork!!
3. the sun peaked out yesterday even though it was not supposed to!!!
4. my hubby is staying home from work so he can be in tip top shape for vacation!!!
5. two consecutive days in a row of mindful eating ...

Must fill the water tank, take the dog out, pack my lunch (I'll be 'on the road' eating today), and finish getting ready for my day. May the sun shine on each of you today, may you avoid as many of the sniffles and viral symptoms as humanly possible, and may you practice self-acceptance and kindness towards yourselves!!!

Have a lovely day!

Yes ... I do not know what it is about us going to Mexico but we always seem to get sick!!! We even go different times of the year!! We still have a whole week to get well so I'm sure we'll be on the mend. I am staying with the vitamin C and zinc .... it should help and hubby is going to the doctor today. I am DETERMINED to have a good time!!

It's funny how we always get sick before vacations. That happens to Ashley and I all the time. I wonder why. In any event it's good that your husband is staying home and hopefully you both will get this out of your system before you leave. I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. Enjoy this beautiful Thursday.

What a precious, comforting phrase...(Lines from a song I learned in Sunday School which had not come to into my mind for quite sometime: "Everlasting Arms" I too am leaning on those everlasting arms (we all are but may not realize it) ....Thank you for the beautiful reminder in your list today.

I'm feeling fine ... hubby is pretty under the weather. Doc put him on antibiotics ... even though his throat culture was negative. Normally I'm not a big fan of antibiotics but maybe it is okay this time. You can't believe the SNOW outside my window right now ... looks like a damn blizzard!!! Guess it will help me appreciate the tropics of Mexico!!
