Very mixed stuff.

[badseed1980]

Man, times are weird. There's good in my life, there's scary, and there's stuff that's got me worried on behalf of others.

I'm down to my initial goal weight of 140.0, which is good. I still want to lose more, but this represents the first big milestone.

I'm at what might potentially be a real high point in my work life. Nothing's certain yet, but an excellent opportunity has presented itself. This is slightly scary as well as exciting.

Other slightly scary but exciting stuff is going on in my spiritual life. There's not really any need to elaborate on that in a public entry, but there are a lot of changes going on.

But while all this is happening, two good friends of mine have run into some difficulty that has put them in danger of losing their home. The reasons are not their fault. The only thing THEY did wrong was fail to notice someone else's giant screw-up. They did not screw up themselves. Now it's all snowballed very, very suddenly, and the crisis has them both in panic (quite understandably). I'm thinking about them constantly and praying that they are able to keep their home and are not too badly damaged, financially or in terms of credit, by this issue.

Are these the same people roaming mentions in her LJ, or is there a sudden rash of insane foreclosures going on?

Yeah, same people.

thinking of our friends in trouble kept me tossing and turning last night. i didn't MEAN to not sleep over it! i could seriously use the sleep. but my stomach is in knots over it - i have issues w/ my mortgage, there but for the graces of the gods.....

and, YAY YOU re: attaining your first goal. go YOU!!!!!

where can i get a copy of your WW stuff? i can't afford to join, but i require assistance to diet.

Hmm. I can see if I can send you the Palm app I use. That is really the bulk of what you need. As for a copy of the look-up book, maybe talking to one of the people who's currently enrolled as a member would be helpful, since I have no extra copy.

Are you on boston_dieters? If not, hop on in! There are a few folks you know on there, and we do a good job of supporting each other.

if you tell me what the palm app is, i could likely find it.

i'll make a note to join boston dieters. i need to prune my flist and adding right now will NOT make me happy. next week. this week is stuffed already.

thank you!

Unfortunately, I can't find the app anymore: it was taken down from the places where it was, because of copyright violation.

!!! gah!! boo.

we might try beaming when we next get together.

I think I could send it to you from my home computer.

However, you might do just as well with a food diary (i.e., notebook) and a points calculator I forgot I had. And I've been using http://www.thedailyplate.com to find nutritional info to calculate points values, too.

Congratulations on the weight goal!

I will send out positive thoughts for your friends.
