LAST YEAR WHEN I SIGNED UP FOR THE GYM, I WENT THROUGH MY PLANNER AND CALCULATED HOW MANY MILES I WALKED, BIKED, AND HOW MANY STEPS ON THE ELLIPTICAL MACHINE I DID. I HOPE TO BEAT THOSE FIGURES.
MILES WALKED: 23
MILES BIKED: 12
STEPS ON THE ELLIPTICAL: 22,500
OF COURSE THESE ARE FROM WHEN I DID LOG THESE IN MY PLANNER AFTER I EXERCISED.
TODAY, REBECCA AND I WENT TO THE GYM AT 10 AM, I DIDN'T STRETCH LIKE I SHOULD HAVE. I WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE ELLIPTICAL MACHINE. I'M TELLING MYSELF TO JUST START OFF EASY. SO I DID:
1,000 ELLIPTICAL STEPS
4 MILES ON THE BIKE
SOME IS BETTER THAN NONE. I HAVE HAD HEALTHY SALADS FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS. I USED A SMALL DINNER PLATE FOR OUR FETTUCINE HUBBY MADE, AND A HUGE PLATE FOR SALAD. I WILL DEFINITELY NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON MY PORTIONS.
THE HARD THING TOO AT WORK IS, OUR MICROWAVE DIED. THE BOSS LADY IS VERY THRIFTY, AND I HAVE TOLD HER I WOULD BE HAPPY TO CHIP IN. I USE IT TOO! I'M THERE FULL TIME, AND WANT AND NEED TO START BRINGING FOOD FROM HOME INSTEAD OF MALL FOOD. WE'LL SEE.
THIS CHISTMAS SEASON AT WORK WAS PRETTY STEADY. IT WILL BE A NICE COMMISSION CHECK. I DID SOME SERIOUS HARD WORK IN MY OPINION.
WELL, HUBBY WAS SERVED COURT PAPERS LAST MONTH FOR ONE OF HIS MEDICAL SUPPLY BILLS. I WAS TRULY WORRIED ABOUT IT, BUT WHEN WE GO BACK TO LOOK AT THINGS AND WHEN WE CALLED THAT COMPANY ABOUT PAYMENTS, AND RECEIVING OF GOODS, IT'S STARTING TO MAKE SENSE! AFTER MY HUBBY'S SURGERY, THEY SENT HIM TO WOUND MANAGEMENT. THEY SHOWED ME HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIS INCISIONS AND WOUNDS THAT HAD OPENED UP INTERNALLY. I LITERALLY HAD TO PACK HIM WITH GAUZE EVERYDAY FOR MONTHS. THEY TOLD ME WHEN WE WOULD BE GETTING THE SUPPLIES, THIS IS WHAT I WOULD DO WITH THEM. WE NEVER PICKED UP A PHONE TO ORDER ANYTHING. IT WAS ALL SENT TO US. WOUND MANAGEMENT WAS PLACING THE ORDER FOR US. THEN, DOWN THE ROAD WHEN WE WERE WAITING FOR SUPPLIES TO COME, THERE WAS A BOX ON OUR STEP WHEN WE GOT HOME, AND IT WAS ALL SOGGY. THE SALINE HAD LEAKED ALL OVER HIS GAUZES, STRIPS, SPONGES, QTIPS, ETC. WE CALLED THE COMPANY TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE BOX WITH A CLAIM, AND THEY NEVER REIMBURSED THE FIRST BOX. IT WOULDN'T EVEN ARRIVE FOR A WHILE. WE HAD TO MAKE OUR OWN SALINE SOLUTION ON THE STOVE! THAT WENT ON FOR A WHILE. THEN WE FIND OUT THAT THEY BILLED US FOR LIKE A $1100 BOX OF SUPPLIES WE NEVER GOT. GRRRRR!
THE ATTORNEY WE HIRED SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A CASE. 1. WE NEVER ORDERED THE SUPPLIES OURSELVES 2. NO SIGNATURE CONFIRMATION OF RECEIVING OF GOODS 3. NO BILLING DISPUTE RESOLUTION BEFORE THE COMPANY REFERRED THE CASE TO THEIR COLLECTION COMPANY. SO, WITH THAT WHO KNOWS WHAT THE JUDGE WILL DECIDE. I STILL HAVE YET TO FINISH MY DOCUMENTS TO SUE KAY JEWELERS FOR MY WEDDING RING.
SPEAKING OF STUPID ASS KAY JEWELERS, I GET A VOICEMAIL FROM THE NEW MANAGER TELLING ME THE EARRINGS I DROPPED OFF COUPLE WEEKS AGO WILL NOT BE IN ON DEC. 30TH AND BECAUSE THAT THEIR NORMAL REPAIR SHOP REFUSED TO RE-RHODIUM MY DIAMOND HOOP EARRINGS. SOOOOOO WHY DIDN'T THE REPAIR SHOP CALL THE STORE TO INFORM THE EMPLOYEES THAT THEY WOULD BE SENDING THE EARRINGS BACK UN-REPAIRED?!! HMMMMM! VOICEMAIL SAID THAT HE WOULD NEED TO SEND IT UP TO SPOKANE TO HAVE SOMEBODY ELSE DO IT. THE PROBLEM IS, IN MY WARRANTIES, I HAVE TO TAKE MY JEWELERY IN TO THEM EVERY 6 MOS AND TO HAVE THE REPAIRS DONE BY THEIR SHOPS. EVEN THOUGH I WORK FOR A DIFFERENT JEWELER, IT IS TEMPTING TO HAVE MY JEWELER JUST DO IT, BUT I PAID FOR A WARRANTY THAT IS LIFETIME, AND THEY ARE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISHAPS. SO I BETTER JUST LET THEM TAKE CARE OF IT EVEN THOUGH I HATE THEM. WELL, I BETTER HUSTLE ASS TO GO MEET BEC AT THE THEATER.
