MOJO Mountain Mix

I'm not really in the mood to write, but since I've got
nothing else pressing, I might as well. With Snookums
gone, once I put the girls' to bed, there isn't anything
left to do, other than get bottles ready for daycare,
Annie's lunch made for school, and my scrubs laid out and
gym bag prepared, all of which takes about 30 minutes,
then I'm left with about 3 hours of idle time and nothing
to fill it with, but net surfing and tv watching. Don't be
too jealous ST, it gets old after awhile :) I won't
complain too much, though. At least I've got my extern, my
children and the gym to keep me occupied during the day.
It was so much worse having Snookie gone, when I sat at
home all day.

Speaking of my extern. I think Sherilan (the office
manager) might offer me a job when my extern is up. This
both makes me feel good and frightens me all at once. I'd
love the satisfaction of knowing I did such a good job on
extern that they wanted to have me work there, but on the
other hand I'm not all that crazy about how the office is
run and all the little idiosyncracies that go along with
working there. Every operatory is different, there is no
uniformity or flow to the practice. Some of their
techniques are old-fashioned and some are high-tech, which
makes learning their office procedures confusing. The
reason for this is 1 of the 3 doctors has been in practice
for over 30 years and doesn't want to change, but the
other 2 doctors are young and cutting-edge with
technology. It's confusing to say the least. That and it's
just so crowded and messy :( Don't get me wrong, the
practice is successful and thriving, but their
organizational system sucks ass and I don't want to be the
one to fix it. Today I spent 3 hours shredding a mountain
of sensitive documents that they had piled up in the
basement. Not good. I don't think anyone would care about
patient billing information or inactive patient records,
but the shredding should be kept up or sent out to a
professional shredding service none the less. With
identity theft as rampant as it is now, I guess someone
might care. They net around $13,000 a day between the 3
doctors and 5 hygienists, they can afford a shredding
service.

After 1 day on my plan to eat more and exercise less, I've
already lost 1 of the mystery pounds. I know my metabolism
is revved up again, because I'm getting hungry again. I
always know when I'm killing my metabolism, because I
don't get hungry. I can go all day without eating and
never feel discomfort, but when I start eating more, I get
hungry every few hours and I know my metabolism is back on
track. I'm just eating normally. What someone 140 pounds
would eat to maintain their weight. I figure my body will
slowly but surely get to 140 using that approach, but it
won't be as traumatic as burning off more than I eat in
any given day. This method, even if it doesn't result in
massive and speedy weight loss, should restore my
metabolism and allow me some food freedom, so I can be
healthy and happy. I can't let myself forget that that was
the main reason for me dropping the weight. My health.

I feel sleepy. I tried a new energy bar today called MOJO
mountain mix (it's made by the company that makes Cliff
bars). It was really tasty (lots of nuts and pieces of
fruit and chocolate) and it gave me a little pick-me-up
while I battled traffic. I highly recommend it. But, I'm
tired again now, and I know it's because I've had a long
day. So, Ciao until I write again.
