Man, where does the time GO?

I couldn't sleep last night. I set my TV to play Along Came Polly, which was part of a two-pack that DVD set that included The Break-Up, which was all I really wanted to purchase, but it was a twofer deal. I think that movie is borderline funny, but usually puts me right to sleep (Dave likes to fall asleep to a movie, something that I've started doing as well on nights I can't sleep, after many years of not even having a TV in my bedroom.) Well, I got through the whole dang movie before I was sleeping, and by then it was 4am. I forced myself to sleep after that point, and woke up off and on to the sounds of the construction going on across the street from me, starting at 6am. Ugh.

I've got a load of things on my to-do list today, so I'm thinking I'm going to check out a Weight Watchers meeting on a Saturday and see if that leader tickles my fancy any. The other lady was nice, but she did a lot of lame-0 things. Like she played Whitney Houston at the end of the meeting and encouraged everyone to get up and dance. Blech. I think I went to a meeting of hers a long time ago (like, YEARS ago) and she played the same song, even. So, there's a different leader tomorrow, and I'm hoping that a Saturday meeting will put me on the right track for behaving while I'm at work. I'm in charge all weekend, but half our floor is closed due to some bubbling in the vinyl floor in the hallway that has spurred a tripping hazard (I secretly step on the bubble for good luck every time I walk down the hall!). So, Saturday night we should have a low census and a decent night. But I bet they will float a lot of our staff to other floors to take care of our own patients. Sunday afternoon is when the floor will reopen, and I just pray that we don't get killed with admissions on Sunday night because of it. Geesh. I just want to pack healthy things and stay away from vending machines, candy and any other thing that's bad for you and lying around work.

I'm still reading Body Clutter, and taking lots of notes. At the end of each chapter, it makes you write about certain topics pertaining to why you overeat, what is comfort food, what is your idea of beauty, etc. All will be good blog topics too! It's really gotten me to dig deeper. It's led me to lot's of thoughts that were just under the surface, but that I hadn't fully acknowledged as part of my problem up until now. Happy Friday, everyone! I'm off to make pumpkin french toast and get crackin' on this massive To-Do List!

I've been trying to find a leader I like too. It makes me sad that my favorite meeting time has a mediocre leader. So far I haven't found anyone better though.
