And actually, there were a few of them today. I received Nate’s first letter! I don’t think he’s ever written me a letter before, now that I think of it. As you can see, it was extremely short and got sweeter as he went on. (Started out with the list of things NOT to send to him because he only has an inch of space! I already knew all that). Something tells me that they have their drill instructor hanging over their shoulder during the 15 minutes or so they’re allowed to write, shouting things about what to write. (“And tell them to NEVER send you any food or packages because We’ll Make You Pay!”) Probably the Jeopardy theme song was also playing in the background. Loud.
Then, with much trepidation, I stood on the scale at our Weight Watchers meeting and much to my surprise I actually lost 1.5 lbs. after our week’s vacation! How about that? I did pay attention (for the most part) about what I ate and how much of it, and I didn’t snack quite as much as I normally would. But still, I really thought I was in for it.
And finally, I had a mani and a pedi today after work. They were both desperately needed! I’m not real fond of having them done (my feet are hella ticklish), but the end result looks so pretty and feels so good!
So…that does it for the good things. The rest of the day sucked in a big way. I felt old, slow, and stupid. Self-esteem is rather in the commode.
