I am going to try to take Thursday and Friday off. I haven't taken any vacation days since July and, even then, it was just a few days. We were going to go to Florida to see the in-laws this year at Christmas, but I am very worried about the economy. I might even postpone the new carpeting and new computer purchases and keep the money in savings--I am that worried. Yeah, and it is people like who me who are contributing to the problem, I know. Oh well! My industry is VERY sensitive to the health of the economy, so I need to carefully consider these things. I know I will be the absolutely last person laid off at my company, if it comes to that, but it probably won't. Still worried, though.

So I did well on the calories again last night. I haven't exercised in over a month because of my illness (whatever it is), but I have managed to drop about a pound in that time. Not impressive, but it could be worse!

Work has calmed down some and it is so nice not to have a phone ringing off the hook and not to have clients mad because I just can't finish stuff. Working really late last week was worth it! The stress level has declined significantly, too.

Happy Tuesday, everyone!
