You ever have one of those days?

Ok...so there were more issues before curtain. One person is pregnant, another has a meltdown, yet another has an assignment. But the truly remarkable thing is, that despite things going horribly wrong, the job got done...ok, it wasn't seamless, it was smooth sailing...but it got done...and I didn't stress over it. Someone said to me, "Wow, you must be really stressed!" My only reply to that was, "No, not really." For whatever reason, I just rolled with each new incoming jab, and we (me and my troop) got the job done. Yes, we had to come in on our day off (I'm giving him a comp day); yes we had to call in a bunch of other people on their day off (nothing I can do for them...maybe I'll bake them a cake); but we did it...and it feels good to have been put in a hard situation and fixed it up...the boss is happy...and we look like gods.

It's been a while since I posted, but that is because I've been so busy I haven't even had time to log on. Being busy is a very good thing. I have a lot of job satisfaction when it keeps me busy. Today, I love my job. Tomorrow...well, we'll just have to wait and see about tomorrow.

But other things are going well too...I learned a little piece of magic this week...how to avoid an argument you never intended to start. I said something to hubby (don't remember what it was that I said, but that isn't the magic) that really ticked him off. It was trivial to me, but it really made him mad. He expressed his anger with me, and I told him that I was sorry, sorry that what I said had hurt his feelings; that was never my intention. He wanted to stay mad, but really what could he do? It's not the saying I'm sorry part that is the magic either. It's that when you can step into another person's shoes and recognize their hurts; well, then it's easier to say I'm sorry...and mean it...and that's a connection. I may never have to have another knock-down-drag-out-fight with hubby...and that would be nothing short of a miracle.

Update on OLTA: 161 lbs this morning, and 31% body fat. I'm not doing that well I guess, but I had a horrible chest cold last week, and this week has just been too busy for me to really workout (though I am watching my diet fairly well). I have a Dr.'s appt tomorrow morning, but I'm getting back to working out tonight. (I hope.) And at least I haven't gained this week.
