Save The Last Rants For Me

Hello All

 

New house last year!  We're in the woods, with a large 3 car garage and room for a horse.   New location for job too with a raise.  But too much stress etc has caused me to leave it as of last Thursday so new job on Monday.   Pay is approximately the same but commission makes this skeptical.  However, I need more time at home.  

Lost my green card so hopefully they will accept the printed copies I have of both green card and SSN, otherwise I'll be back at the other job again but at different location? Maybe? I have a new green card ordered. 

Anyhow, that's the year update.  I worked all year.  I gained 30lbs after losing 25lbs so yuck.  But I can do it again.  Maybe just 20lbs this time.

Oh my gosh! Welcome back! Sounds like it's been a mixed year for you, but good for you for leaving a job that's too stressful. Life is too short to be miserable if you have control of the things causing you misery. 

 

And you can totally lose the weight if you want to.  If you want to.

And if you gained Many lbs after having lost Many lbs, this is either a problem or not, flexibility in P-math Niki-B. ma'am.

 

And you have Many -- yes, Many -- of our posts to upvote, si Niki-B. ma'am.

Yay for new house and soon to be horse. Boo to the job. I don't think you actually have to do show your GC to get the job. You have a DL and unrestricted SSN.

Hoping what I've lost since some unfortunate test results a couple months ago said I needed to lose weight and eat fewer carbs. I love homemade bread, and always keep some around. I love desserts. My wife's Russian; we ate lots of potatoes.

And I'm programmer who doesn't really have any active hobbies.

 

Nonetheless, down a little over 15 pounds after rather more carefully monitoring my diet and walking 45 minutes a day. Would like to manage another 15, get within rounding distance of 200 lbs, which wouldn't be that bad at 6' 0" (really, not rounding up from 5' 11").

You'd better hope that the fearsome Asia doesn't see your P-math violations, oj tak.

I'm thinking P-math is even less Polish than French Fries are French. 🤣

 

Took mini-Dave to the zoo for the first time yesterday. Had put off going even though the San Diego Zoo is a really great zoo because we didn't want to go until mini-Dave was old enough to get something out of it and that we had the spare cash to get memberships (because mini-Dave isn't two and a half yet, and we didn't know how long he'd be good for; if you're members and you go for two hours, whatever, you can go home and come back another, but if you spent a lot of money on 2 single-day tickets -- because the kid's still young enough that he's free -- then you'll probably try to tough it out). But PRG's job is going well, so we went ahead. Definitely was fun. Also good for spending a lot of time walking 🤣

[TBoneTX 45,910]

Going to PetSmart or Petco is like a free* trip to the zoo, si DA man.

    *a symphony to our ears, ahhhhh man

You don't say how Mini-DA-man liked it, no DA man.

No, going to PetCo is expensive. The Padres are good, or at least have players that were good for other teams and spent a lot of money.

Liked looking at a lot of stuff (monkeys, fish, sharks, turtles, giraffes, hippos, elephants), was disappointed sometimes when he wanted to backtrack but we thought walking through an exhibit three or four times was enough, got tired but still didn't like being put in his stroller until PRG turned on cartoons on her phone, but was out and walking again later.

Yeah. My brother and his wife had a boy a couple months ago, and we alternate between thinking "he looks a lot like mini-Dave at that age" (not surprising, since they're first cousins) and "we barely remember when mini-Dave was that little".

 

Snuck in reading a book to him early this morning just before early morning meeting started.
