It's been a weird month. . .

I've been in job limbo the whole time. After waiting for almost four weeks, I was told, without much explanation, that I was getting the original job I interviewed for, rather than the higher one I'd also been offered. I was told to expect the official offer in a week. When I didn't hear anything after a week and a half, I called again, and was told, again without much explanation, that I was being considered for both jobs again. After another week, I finally heard that I'm getting the higher level job again, but that wasn't what I considered the official word. After three business days of no official word, I called this morning, and though I haven't gotten the official "call," some people thought I was starting my new job tomorrow (the 16th). Even though it's late, I'm still thinking I might be starting work tomorrow. It's really crazy, and it has kept me on edge.

In the meantime, I got sick again. And now I'm getting over being sick a third time. The illness has been a little different each time. But now I'm taking an antibiotic, so hopefully it'll get better.

Haven't been too successful with the weight. I haven't gotten back to my high, but I was too chicken to weigh on a couple of days when I thought I might top it. (I ate a lot of pizza a week ago tonight.) And I haven't broken the 200 barrier. And between illness and weather I haven't been walking enough.

Okay, enough of that. Here's the Tuesday numbers: 200.8 lbs. on the bathroom scale. Total weight loss to date: 2.8 lbs.
