Home Early..

What a suprise to be sitting watching the State of Origin with my mum... the dog (Dudley) runs to the door, not making a sound. The door makes a sound of something maybe climbing on it. Dudley then starts turning himself in circles. I thought the cat was at the door! By Dudley's body language he knows who ever is at the door. The next thing I know, a man in a orange and stripe shirt looking very tired walks in the door and around the corner to make an appearance in the lounge room.. Ray is home! He was not due home till tomorrow night... He has been made redunant from his mine site in Moura.

He was sopossed to be there a few more weeks (stints), have some time off then most likely start at Lake Lindsay which is about 280km closer to Townsville. When I asked him why he was home, his reply was "the boss argued with me to much so I picked him up and threw him through the window!" Gees, I just stared at him waiting for him to flinch on his story and start laughing. Anyone who knows Ray, knows that this is just not in his nature. He had a straight face the whole complete time... I just kept looking at him - asking him ; your joking??!! Then after around 5 mins, he smiled, sat down next to me and said, Nah been made reduntant. By this time next week about 100 blokes would have lost their jobs. The site is still going strong, its just that what they are doing is finished. They are just no longer required. SOOOO now, its back on the unemployment list.... Back to centrelink to start the fight about money!!

So, now I cant give up work. I was going to cut right back as it was just not worth the stressing and trying to deal with miss 8, work and the house. Least I have a job to go to so we can still survive a little.

Enough of that.. Dramas of everyday life that just happen unexpectedly! Weight in this morning. Loss of .8, taking my total to 19.6! Just .4 to go and then its the big 20!!! That like half way! Pleased with that, as its my 2nd week on core and I wasnt exactly very good. Like - pizza, cheese cake, choc coated bickies etc etc... I know, I know!!! Its my choice to put them in my mouth.. and I fully accept that! Dont think for a moment that if I eat like that then I will be sitting in a corner crying over a gain. I wont be! If I cause it by not eating right or not doing enough exercise then its totally my fault! However, the next day or the next meal I will be right back where I should be - knowing this is the only way to get where I WANT and NEED to be! Gymed today, did my fitness routine with the instructer - so I know what I should be doing. Bring it on and watch the shape now change.. LOL

GO THE MAROONS!! Boring game. No game 3 now, as Qld won 10-6. Still confused why Matty Bowen was not in the team... Best player in the league and he not there. Mind you, that is a good thing because then he is still nice and fit for the Cowboys in the coming games!
