HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! So Friday was my 31st birthday and I spent the day listening to Evie tell me happy birthday and sing me happy birthday and then we went out to eat Mexican food and had a donut with candles so she could blow them out.  Saturday, we spent the day with my parents and ate dinner with them and then went down to the local bar with friends and had a Hippie themed night.   Josh got me a printer/scanner that I desperately need working from home, my parents got me some pajamas for after surgery and some cash, which I also need, and my friends got me some alcohol, a cute glass, and a Starbucks gift card.  THANK YOU ALL.

I was nervous after Colorado to weigh in because in 9 months I have only gained one time and I didn't want this to be my second but THANK GOODNESS I lost 1.6 lbs!  I did work really hard last week and did cardio more than usual to try to offset anything I did gain and it worked luckily.

After another weekend of some junk food and alcohol and then my husband talking about all the stuff he wants to grow for us, I really wanted brussel sprouts for lunch....he didn't :)

My lunch in front, his in back
I am thinking about starting a YouTube channel in December.  December 6th I have an appointment for my labs and some other stuff they check and then December 13th I start my pre op liquid diet so somewhere around then I figured I would start it.  I am really inspired by other people and I love to learn as much as I can about anything I am getting into to so I want to document my journey (being able to physically see the changes) but I also want to help people who are looking into surgery.  I also want to help people who know me but won't ever be on this journey, understand.  I will continue writing on my blog and probably only make a video once a month or something.  Let me know if you watch YouTube, if you would want to see my videos, and any topics you might be interested in me talking about.

*Day care update*-For some reason they are just now doing interviews with people and its been over 6 weeks since the incidents, if not longer.  My understanding is that the director (K) refused to the let the interviewer have a private room to talk to staff so they had to meet in a kitchen as (K) lurked in the hallway and heard everything. Surprisingly, but not surprising, it was found out what staff did their job and reported all of this, and she is now fired.  Now, I only hear bits in pieces of the story, I am sure, but something just doesn't add up to me.  How can somebody, especially somebody who is under investigation, deny a private room AND THEN use the information she is able to hear, to fire somebody?  There should be some kind of job protection for people who do the right thing, follow the rules, and then get fired for reporting when people don't.  PLEASE comment if you have any knowledge in this area.  I still think it is insane that this person who is a mandated reporter, failed to report/reported incorrect stuff, and is STILL running the daycare.  I also think it is bullshit that she continues to send out rules that are supposed to be followed through email when she doesn't follow the rules...I don't know, all of this makes me feel crazy and angry.  I was really hoping that on Friday, my birthday, I would get some news that justice was served but I will just keep praying, and please, if you are reading this, pray too.

Thursday

Hello all :) I was at a training this week with work and when deciding where we should eat somebody mentioned Olive Garden and I immediately dropped by head.  I know Olive Garden as PASTA, PASTA, PASTA so I wasn't looking forward to the temptation.  I don't know why I don't give myself credit for how strong I am.  My entire life, people couldn't pressure me to do ANYTHING I didn't want to.  I am SO STRONG and I make my own decisions; I am a lion, not a sheep :) (I want a shirt so bad that says "Be a lion")  Anyways, when we got there, I looked at the menu and right there on the lunch section were meals that were 300-400 calories and as soon as I saw zucchini I was in.  Its a half piece of chicken with a piece and a half of zucchini with mozzarella cheese and some lemon butter with tomatoes to top it off (I didn't eat those).  I left behind some zucchini and you know, I never once thought about pasta as I was sitting there.  On my way home I thoug...

FMLA....more like FML

So I decided it was time to tell my work place that I would be off for about 3 weeks at the end of the year and some of January so that we could all be prepared.  The hospital had talked to me about FMLA and when I asked my supervisor who to talk to about it, she stated Human Resources.  In my entire work life, I have never had to use FMLA, I know it stands for Family Medical Leave Act, and I know it protects your job, but thats about it.  I requested a meeting with the HR lady, she accepted, and then a week later I was standing in her office.  She stares at me like why the hell are you here, I remind her we have a meeting about FMLA, and she says "I thought there would be a lot more people here"  I am going to type the conversation in an easier read format below HR: I thought there would be a lot more people Me: Nope, just me and you HR: WHO IS HAVING THE MEETING? Me: Me and you HR: blank stare Me: I scheduled with you last week to meet about requesting ...
