A week ago today we had an open house. We have to sell our home because neither of us can afford it by ourselves. Our realtor is so amazing!! He advertised in the paper, put up signs, etc. It was a very well-trafficked open house. Unfortunately, some time in the course of those well-attended 2 hours, my rings were stolen. I lost my wedding ring from 1986 and my 20th anniversary ring. They also stole some gold religious medallions. How stupid of me to leave them in my jewelry box. UGH!!!!!!!!
I had to file a report with the police and it was horrible. If I was happily married right now, I would be seriously grieving that jewelry. Even though it was a traumatic and horrible experience, I realize that those rings were just a source of money for me now. Or something to pass on to my grandchildren. But who wants to pass on rings from a broken marriage? So maybe this is a fitting end to my wedding jewelry.
So much going on right now!!! STRESS!!! How do I keep track of the diet? I have had a bad week. But here is what I know:
1. I have my children and a grandbaby on the way!!
2. I have my pets.
3. I have a wonderful job and students that I love.
4. I am nearing the big mid-life 50 in age and I want to be healthy.
5. In order to enjoy numbers 1-4 for as long as I can, I MUST lose weight. There are too many risk factors that come with obesity. I absolutely MUST put my health first, no matter what chaos is swirling around me. God help me, I MUST lose weight.
Hugs to all!!

ReplyDeleteJust read this. For some reason I haven't seen these. How terrible about the rings & religious items. I feel so bad for you. Still sentimental for the kids & you're right about the $. Low lifers.
