Day off

Posting for Wednesday, April 10th, 2013

I always look forward to my day off, since starting the 4 10 hour days the end of February, our day off each week alternates from Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  We can't have Fridays or Mondays due to heavy call volumes.  Those days suit me just fine, just enough to recharge and get some free time. 

As usual, this was not a day to rest.  As if!  Had to take Baby to the vet for her shots, she is such a good dog.  She, like me, is overweight, so we are on this walking/weightloss journey together. 

At work we are doing the 10k steps a day challenge until the end of May and that has really kept me motivated so far.  I am walking more than I have probably in the last 3 years probably and yes, have some aches and pains but I have already been able to tell the shedding of some of those unwanted lbs and that keeps me motivated...thus far. 

After the vet, went and got a much needed pedicure!  Didn't like the girl "Pink" that done them this time, the french manicure was fine, the spa part lacked in many things.  When you pay additional for an added service you expect to feel pampered, this chick was just going thru the motions and while doing so, she used her razor thingy and cut too much dead, I am guessing, skin off of a scar on the side of my foot and now I have an open sore.  Great!  Won't be going back there again! 

Then went walking at the river with Ashley, Stephani, and Jerri.  They wore me out.  I have found since I have been walking and exposed to so much fresh air that I have been sleeping a little better.  That is always a plus.  I love to sleep!

It can only get better from here my friends!!
