Happy 4th, and stuff.

I'm no good to anyone because of the crappy mood I'm in, so I'll just say "Happy Fourth of July" & leave it at that.

Oh.  And I know everyone's probably sick of hearing this (but it's my only "bright" spot so there it is)...I'm just SO freaking pleased with my weight loss.  I dropped 5 pounds just this past week.  I feel like I'm eating all the time, so it must be that fancy Chinese diet tea that's doing the trick.  Probably, cycling 12 miles a day doesn't hurt either.  Today, I found a shirt that I LOVE that's been mocking me...a month ago I couldn't get it over my hips.  Today it is HUGE like a very big comfy tunic and halfway to my knees.  

Yay.

Tell me; if one has to scrape up all the coins in the house & put them in a bag & dump them in the CoinStar machine at the grocery store in order to buy groceries...does that mean the person in question loses at life?  'Cause it sorta feels that way.  :-/

Hey, we all hit rough times. You do what you need to do to make ends meet between the good times. It does NOT mean you lose at life at all. In fact, you win more than most people. You've been able to do what most of us will only ever dream of doing - and that's do what you love and make a living doing it. So you've hit a speed bump. But it sounds like you've got a pretty good plan in motion to keep your head above water and get your feet back under you.

So take a deep breath. Enjoy that you're losing weight. Things will turn. With your amazing talent, you're sure to get SOMETHING out of all the work you're doing now.

*hugs* Hang in there.

*hug* You're so sweet. I just hate having to scrape...it kills my happy & when I'm down I can't work.

I have three really good qualified leads though with a fourth packet going out tomorrow, so I guess we'll see what comes of it.

The weight thing is pretty cool. Every time I feel like crying, I go into my closet & start dragging out old "skinny" clothes to try on.
