Life really sucks right now. Last night I went to get my work schedule for the week. I was unhappy with the amount of hours I got and went to ask for more. The dispatcher said that one of the FT drivers called off for 3 days because his brother had been killed that weekend; no details. So I took two of his shifts. Today it was all over work because it was in the paper. This guy's older brother had died in a car crash on Saturday. According to the article I read; there were 3 cars involved. I swear my company is cursed. We seem to have more drivers losing loved ones or winding up in the hospital...How can you possibly offer condolences for something like that?? Everyone ends up saying the same thing.."I am sorry for your loss; you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers." So many times that it must begin to sound insincere and rehearsed. I hate death; especially in cases like these. 52 is WAY too young to pass....

Not all today was bad. Had a decent shift until my relief driver flaked and went to the wrong switch point. So I had to keep driving after the route was 15 mins behind. Flew back to the office; and then spent what was left of my break on the phone with Admissions trying to schedule an appointment. Got one for the 11th of December. Have an appointment on Weds with my insurance agent because I am getting my new car on the 13th or 14th. I am happy; but I will miss the Jetta. I have had that car longer than any other. I hope whoever gets it; takes good care of it. As I was leaving a client's home for another pick-up, I was watching traffic and happened to see the "gym front desk guy" in his car. He was looking right at me. Weird. Now I kinda have to work out tonight; even though I overate today since I didnt get to eat (any real food) while at work. Tomorrow I will be better prepared. I finally heard from Eric today. I wrote him yesterday saying that I was getting a new car and would he like to see it and maybe go for a ride? He was very excited about the car (and for me); but he didnt say if he wanted to see it or not. I did send a picture. I am just glad to hear from him period; even though it was short. Thank G-d for small miracles. No interview date yet for Road Supe and no decision on the FT. No matter what the decision is; I will make light of it.

Zonked...I need a nap and then a sweat session. 2 people commented on my appearance today. 1 said; "Hello skinny." And the other asked if I was losing weight. Uh...try gaining. But if I am still getting compliments; then I am not looking horrific. I will take what comments I can get.

Carrie, My theory on whats up with Eric is he is scared and maybe he isn't sure how to take the new you? ever think of that one.. Especially if he is used to the Old Carrie.. the new You might be a shock to the system and he might just say something YOU wanna hear.. lol

Congrats on the new car, I'm glad that's happening for you. Hope you made it to your workout session too.

When people are faced with losses like that, they are so out of it in their own grief that it doesn't matter what you say -just that you are there and helping them. That's what they will remember. It was nice of you to cover for him at work.

Hope things keep getting better every day Carrie. Cheers and enjoy that new car -very exciting!

Hi everyone;
I feel like I have been away from this forum for way too long...I will explain later. Right now I am so tired; I need chopsticks to keep my eyelids open. A lot is going on right now. So far; no doubles scheduled for the remainder of the week. The two I took Mon and Tues (for my co-worker) REALLY kicked my butt. I was at work in body; but my spirit was on planet MARS. I actually drank (no guzzled) 4 cups of coffee during my fixed route....I am developing one hell of a bad caffeine habit. (Diet Pepsi). But the coffee was to stay focused while driving. I wanted the energy drinks; but was a little worried because of the Benedryl I am also taking. I had the early run today (5:25am) and I didnt sleep well. Was up early watching, "House" and by 7 am this morning; I wanted to curl up into a ball and sleep for a week. Then my 35 ft bus was standing room only and I was on a caffeine/adrenaline high from there on out. Had two meetings today too.

I am reposting the link to the Marty and Poppy interview to remind myself that it can be done. And I want to drool over Marty some more.

I think there comes a time when you have to read the signs. Although we may wear blinders at first; soon the situation morphs into something that cant be ignored. I have been trying to rack my brain into what could have possibly triggered my hives. I think it was a combination of them having been dormant "X" amount of years and it was time for a new wave, the stress/depression/pressure I have been under, the crazy exercising I was doing, possibly something I ate, and I am sure the nutty 116 hours I worked in two weeks didnt help matters. But the fact is that they arent going away. I get to the point where I think they are and they come back. It has been intense here for a while. I cant blow up at management for obvious reasons, I cant (and wont) take it out on passengers, I have no right to take anything out on my family, so I take it out on myself as a form of abuse. But once again I am going through the wrong channels. I need to work this out through exercise, good diet and relaxing down time. I have never had a bout last this long. I think I will be at a month and a half next week. I think my body is trying to tell me something. For the most part when I was home I had almost no trouble sleeping; but I still had hives. I come back; still have hives and the getting up during the night starts all over again. I paid my bills on time this month, cut hours since the drivefest, and I am not as upset about Eric because things are slowly looking up again. I dont get it...I am thinking I need to call my doctor on Monday. I cant take this anymore. It hurts to take a shower.
Didnt make it to the gym Mon, Tues, Weds and I really wanted to. But I have been soooo tired this week. Wanted to go last night but I was kinda out of it and I did schedule a chat session and I didnt want to miss it. This weekend I am going to put all the pieces of the puzzle back together again and start going in a more positive direction.
I am almost 99% sure I got the Full Time position. (Just because of certain things that occured yesterday afternoon-will explain later.) I think they are going to notify me today and call the others who didnt get it as well. However; I still have an application in for Road Supe and if I were to somehow end up with that one; then they would go with their number 2 choice for FT driver. It would be very silly for them to have to make a second announcement because whoever took that position would have been a second choice and everyone would know it. I am pretty sure the interviews will be next week. If they do make it public; then I know for sure I wont get Road Supe. Only 3 people (maybe 4 including me) applied.
Today my plan is to go to work; work my 2 hour (or less) long shift, go grocery shopping, come home and relax. Then I am going to start cleaning because having a mess to look at is stressful enough on its own. It didnt help matters tearing through everything trying to find my car paperwork. In a weird way; cleaning is relaxing to me. Tomorrow is payday. I wont get much because of my 9 days off. But my raise will have kicked in.

Have a good day everyone

The link you provided with Marty & Poppy....YOU MADE ME CRY! I AM SO INSPIRED TO CONTINUE WITH WHAT I STARTED IN FEBRUARY 06! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I had no idea they had lost so much weight...like I mentioned last night I had not had a chance to watch the show in a few weeks and was very upset to see that Marty was off the show last night. Thank you for posting this...now I know how Marty is doing. HELLO HOTTIE! WOW! This is the whole reason I had started my weight loss journey - I knew that after watching the BL show I had a chance. I had a chance to live again...I had a chance to breath again...I had a chance to live a wonderful life with my kids. NOW...I am doing this!

THIS SHOW HAS SAVED MY LIFE! THIS FORUM HAS SAVED MY LIFE! YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE!

LOVE YA GIRL!
