Sunday was the beginning of a few days of hot weather again for us here. After the whole family went to get groceries in morning, everyone besides me jumped in the pool for most of the afternoon. I was finishing up some laundry and trying desperately to get a few more hours of DVR'd programs off the TV. Beyond that there was not too much happening at all. I made supper and was the only one who liked it, so that was a fail. I've been regularly taking my pills for a week now and things have been good. I'm mostly stable with my emotions and the apatite suppressant one has been working as well. I've also begun tracking my calories again with Lose It and managed to be under my allotted for the week, even with a lunch out today. Half of it is the pills making me not hungry and half of it is the act of having to enter it into the app and not wanting to do that. I guess whatever works to keep me from stuffing my head. I managed to lose 2 pounds last week so that is good and a start in the right direction.
Tuesday was a day full of emotions. My announcement as the new Manager went public and there were many congratulations offered up as well as nice things being said about me. I got a little choked up a few times hearing those things as I know I'm a good worker but it's not always said out loud and so to hear it a few times over the course of a few hours was powerful. My new team seems to be happy to have me join them, I heard from the vast majority of them, with only a few outliers, one of which was a surprising lack of communication as I thought that person and I were on good terms. Even one of the people I beat out for the job was gracious and their congratulations felt sincere. I haven't done much else for the last few days as it's be very hot here and there were thunderstorms with hail. They were over very quickly though and the hail was small so no damage at our house. I watched the first episode of the new season of Top Gear last night and it was very lovely. I like the current lineup of presenters and I think the BBC has found a group that plays well off each other and doesn't take themselves too seriously, which makes for enjoyable viewing.
Thursday was another day where I went into the office for a few hours so that I could learn and gain some insight into the job I will be going into. We discussed personnel today and I got to know a little about all the staff that will soon be mine. After that I was at home and finishing up the day. I was so tired though that I had to miss a meeting and took a nap instead as I couldn't keep my eyes open. I'd had a few bad nights with Marshmallow due to the kids coming in and waking her up so I was exhausted. We also ended up signing up for getting a home security system. The neighbourhood has been hit with many issues lately so it just seemed prudent. Hubs wasn't sure but in the end we decided it was for the best and since he doesn't have to be here for any of it, he's fine. After all that I had my bath and watched a few shows on Netflix. I was then off to bed and didn't last too long before the sleep came and took me off to dreamland.
