Making a change!

February 2013 will be 4 years since I joined Spark People. I love all the resources available here & have made some great friends. The past couple of years since moving from Missouri to Washington have been full of ups and downs. I have dealt with the stress & depression by eating. Unfortunately I have gained a lot of the weight I had lost back so am starting over again. Here's to 2013 being a better year!

Dan used to work the evening shift, too, and it was always at least 1 AM before we went to bed. He applied for a different position and the only opening was on the morning shift, so here we are. I really like his hours now and only occasionally does he go to work at 3 AM to cover for someone who needs some time off. If it didn't require going to bed at 7 PM I would really like it if there was a regular shift that started at 3 AM (he might differ with me!) It seems that I can have most everything done pretty early!

Thank you so much for the bit of Trivia about closets and old houses! That is very interesting and makes sense. I remember when the tax assessor used to come visiting and take notes on everything!

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and for your comments on my blog today, Martha! This aspect of life is so much different than I expected - better - and such a surprise!

Hope your day today is wonderful!

Better yet, it worked! All of my clothes, except dresses, are in drawers now so I have room for the coats in the only downstairs closet. Our house will be 100 years old next year and it is a six bedroom, two closet house. We put the third one in downstairs when we first moved in 20 years ago. Have a great day!

I know what that being at a standstill is like! I was there for two years and decided that this year I was going to make some progress. I know that I can do this!
