Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
I'M FREE
I'm feeling very detached from you, dear diary. The honest
truth is: I could never write in you again and I'd be okay
with that. I'm feeling this way because I'M FREE. Finally,
my life is starting to feel whole. I've got a wonderful
family, I'm meeting my weight loss and fitness goals and
I'll soon pursue my professional ambitions. Everything is
falling into place. So, I'm not in need of a place to
whine and cry about how crappy my life is, because my life
isn't crappy anymore! It's a beautiful thing. But, I won't
stop writing in you, because I do enjoy having a place to
share my life, even if no one reads it anymore. I remember
when I use to be so "popular". Not that I really care, but
I don't think the people that use to read still do. No one
feedbacks me anymore. Is it because I don't have issues to
address? Serious mental problems people feel they need to
comment on? Maybe that's it, but I'm happy and that's all
that matters to me. I don't have that much time to respond
to people like I use to anyway.
I'm still at 164, which isn't such a big deal since I only
reached 164 yesterday morning. I'm doing so well I'm
surprising myself. I can't believe how quickly I've gotten
back on track and started losing again. It's a great
feeling. Snookums is starting to lose again, too. Because,
when I'm in control (of our eating habits) both of us
lose, not just me. It's too hard to make two separate
meals, so he's forced to eat healthy and it's paying off
for him, too. Tonight we're having sesame ginger pulled
pork, steamed rice and broccoli/cauliflower florets. Very
healthy, but still full of flavor. I try to keep things
interesting.
I don't know if I mentioned, but Snookie is leaving next
week. He leaves some time Tuesday morning and he'll be
back on Friday. So, he won't be gone long. It's such a
nuisance having him gone for a week here, two weeks there.
Preferably, I'd like him to never have to leave, but I
think it would be easier since he has to go, if they'd
just get the damn WestPac over with. Just do the six
months and come home. We never know when a fast cruise is
coming or how long it will be before he leaves again. What
about a little notice? That would be too much to ask, I
think.
Next weekend (the weekend Snookie gets home) Helena is
coming to visit. I hadn't expected to see her again so
soon, since we just went on vacation in November, but
she's coming here to visit for the weekend. Snookie is a
little suspicious about her intentions. Who flies all the
way from Michigan to visit for two days? He thinks his
parents have a surprise for him. If he thinks it's a new
car, I think he's going to get his feelings hurt. Who buys
someone a new car? I realize that his parents have a large
expendable income, but why would they buy him a new car,
simple because he mentioned to them that he'd like another
one? I told Snookie that when he makes 1st class he can
buy a new car. Since he hasn't done that yet, he'll have
to wait. I don't think Daddy will come through for him on
this one. Am I wrong to think that a grown man shouldn't
expect his parents to give him such things? But, I could
be wrong. His parents did buy him the truck he drives now.
Honestly, I think Helena just wants to see the baby and
she's got about 10 billion frequent flyer miles built up,
she can probably get a ticket for next to nothing, she
flies so much. I don't know.
I'm going to go now. Snookie wants to fool around before
dinner. I don't know why he insists on having sex during
the day when we're more likely to get interrupted. But,
everyone has their preferences, I guess. Ciao.
