September's Gonna Be a Busy One


Real life is taking over somewhat this month. Hectic hectic hectic time at work. Managing personnel issues amongst my staff (all I will say about this is the things you learn about people when you manage them! I'd be better off not knowing these things!), plus we are being audited at the end of the month and my bonus this year depends on us getting a good result. So needless to say, I'm putting in some long hours these days. Well, longer than usual, and that's saying something for a workaholic!

From an IE standpoint, the hardest part is just trying to focus on it at all. It's SO easy to just let the events of the day take over and to find that another day has come to an end and I haven't spent even a moment thinking about IE! On the plus side, I'm not eating excessively. Well, not excessively in the sense that I'm bingeing or eating tons of junk food or snacking incessantly. I seem to be pretty much sticking to the three squares these days (sometimes two). But each meal is still bigger than it should be. But I'm just trying to get through the month these days and fit in some of my reading when I can and not obsess about shoulds and shouldn'ts. Will continue to post as I can. Hopefully you'll bear with me!

On an unrelated note, here's my realization for August: I don't like fresh figs. Dried figs? Good. Fresh figs? Bleh. It's not a flavor thing; it's a texture thing. Shame, really, because they're awfully pretty. But I just can't do 'em. But that's a fresh realization courtesy of my fabulous local farmers market. Only wish I'd realized it before I shelled out $6 for a pint of local, organic figs, most of which, unfortunately, ended up in the bin. Oh, well. Live and learn.
