Working Hard

Hello friends!

Things are looking up! Food and exercise are going great, work is busy but I'm getting a lot done, my allergies aren't bothering me quite as much, and I'm going home in a week! Woohoo!!!!

Here are some pics from the week so far...

String Quartet at a school... I've been arranging a lot of these

Anna raising money for Job #1!

Katy's birthday at Job #1 - I made her crown, lol


Nothing really too exciting. Tonight is "Music Educator Award Night" for Job #1, which means that I'll be busy with that tonight. Once the concert is over there's a reception. >:-( But! I have a tactic. At REDO on Monday we had to list situations that we would consider "risky" and one of mine was a party/reception. By talking it through, I realized alcohol + limitless food is not a good combination for me, especially because I rarely drink so even a little wine loosens my resolve. REDO has us make a mini goal each week so I said I would not drink wine at tonight's reception. Our leader said that wasn't good enough - I needed to replace it with a different drink I felt excited about. So... I'm going to get a latte to take to the reception! And I'm actually really looking forward to it now because I know the latte is going to be really good!! Way to go me. Thank you REDO.

And on a final note, the best part of my week happened yesterday when I got to see Seetha! We mostly talked about what's going on in her life. Please send loving thoughts out to Seetha - she needs them! But in the midst of all of that she gave me an exercise to do to help with my stomach pooch. I tried it this morning. Holy cow.
