Finally Moved...Mostly

We got our internet connection, finally, after 5 days without it! I have been off of my diet for the last 6 days and have gained 8 pounds! :( I stress ate and cried my way through the weekend. We'd lived in the same house for 18 years - it's where we raised our son and had a happy life - and leaving was more traumatic than I thought it would be.
I feel mostly back in control again and am ready to move forward. I refuse to feel regret for what I did to myself. I can and will re-lose it and feel healthy again. I will focus on the great hope I have for the future and even though I don't know where we will end up living or what kind of careers we will have, this mid-life time is a new beginning. There are endless possibilities and I will go forward, strong and healthy and HAVING FUN! I only get one shot at this life, after all...
And speaking of 'shots', I did figure this weekend since I wasn't on the diet nor was I getting any sleep, that having a few drinks might do me some good...I discovered these shots that taste like German Chocolate cake! Oh My! They were delicious! So...I had, ummm, 9. Yup, you read that right. It's not a typo...I had 9! I got a bit, how should I say, umm toasted. That's a nice way to put it. :) I am one of those lucky people who never get sick from alcohol nor get hangovers...so I can drink what I want. AND I WANTED 9, hehe. I was pretty funny, I hear. If you are ever in Vancouver, WA and want a drink...go to Top Shelf and have Roger make you a German Chocolate cake...tell him Vonda sent you. If he says, 'Who?' say, 'The crazy woman who had 9 shots and told you she loves you!' I mean really...who wouldn't love a man who gives her chocolate drinks? :)
