While I was glad to come home to my dogs (even though they weren't necessarily happy to see me), I already miss being around family. Yes, part of me says that for selfish reasons (it was nice having Mom cook for me again) but it was nice to forget about single living for awhile. Even if it was just my parents and I at their house, it was still two more people than I've lived with this last year. Maybe one day I'll get to live a little closer to family... Just have to see if I can find a job first...
There were parts of traveling home that were kind of strange. When I was in one of the airports, I saw a man in Navy uniform that looked like my wasband. That made my heart stop for a moment and then when I realized it wasn't him, my heart continued to beat faster than normal. I see men in Navy uniforms all the time, but this was the first time I saw one that happened to look like my wasband. Not like I know what I would have done if it was him but it wasn't so I didn't have to come up with anything...
Today, I had to go buy some milk and some other basics after coming home from my trip. One of the things I also decided to buy was a scale. For those of you who really know me, you know what a big deal that is. When my wasband and I moved to CA, our scale was broken in the move and I just never got around to (ok, never wanted to) replace it. After being at my parents, and using their scale, I figure I should have one. From the last time I was at my parents (approximately 15 months ago), I went from 280 pounds (UGH!!) to 225 pounds. Still not necessarily where I want to be, but it's definitely an improvement! Now I just have to continue to work on things and watch the numbers still go down (I hope). =)
Well, laundry calls and I should probably get ready to head back to work tomorrow. I look forward to posting more about my quest as the year continues! =)
