Friday morning
Apr. 5th, 2019 07:01 amWeighed in at TOPS last night after missing a week. Had gone up to Anaheim from Wednesday until Monday (a day longer than expected) for Wonder Con and of course some Disneylanding. Only gained one pound. Yvonne managed to come in with a .4 loss, but she was also pooping her brains out from Monday afternoon all through Tuesday. :)
We had our yearly awards last night and a pot luck. People managed to bring some reasonably healthy options (no, not always our norm), so this morning I work up weighing a little less than I was yesterday morning. I'm so close to being out of the 220's. That's motivation to have a really good week. Luckily we have nothing food related planned except for having some family over for dinner on Saturday, but it'll be a normal dinner thing.
I'm super stressed with having Nala in the house (something I will not admit to on social media, because I don't want it getting back to James). I like dogs, I do, but I don't like living with them, especially with puppies who prefer my room for "accidents". They aren't really accidents, she just doesn't have complete control of things yet. She goes out and does her business, but can't hold it long and James is not taking her out once every half hour like he should. Anyway, she's adorable, but I want them both to move our ASAP.
Work is good. I love having a job I don't dread coming to. This morning my fellow reclassification work mates and I are meeting with our Union President to make sure she knows what we expect from the union as far as pay grade for negotiations. Our reclass is approved and the pay grade we want has been clearly defined by our supervisor, but I imagine the district will try to get away with as little as they can. I'm also hoping we can get a better idea of the time frame involved in all this. They are creating a new job description, they tell us it can take "awhile". I hope they mean a month or so and not much longer. The reclass will be minimally retroactive to July 1, 2018, which means back pay, and another automatic pay step increase on July 1, 2019. I could use that money right this very minute. Carrying Yvonne for over 6 months has made my finances quite caca.
