dear Journal, Sorry I have been gone away so long. Life has been really smacking me around a bit this last month and I have let it knock me off plan. Out of guilt, I have been ignoring both you and my food diary.
getting a lay-off notice wasn't a good deal and I had a really hard time with it because I am senior in the department and I am the only one out the door. Can't help but take that personally, especially when the stubborn woman who won't learn anything new and insists on doing things her old-school way and the crack-head girl get to stay.... just a little bitter.
The second round of extra stress hit last weekend when someone came into my house during the night and took my laptop and iphone from my dining room table while i was home and in bed. thankfully (and oddly) my purse, which was right there, wasn't touched. We believe it was my daughter's friend who did it, he is on the lam, and I am left with wondering how involved my daughter was. He was more of a friend of a friend kind of thing and she says she had no idea he was in trouble. He had stopped by earlier that day and i saw him checking out the computer. Did I mention that I am an accountant and it was my business computer? That I have 10 clients tax information on that computer? With losing my phone and my computer, i have lost all my contact information. I have learned a very expensive lesson about securing my valuables, backing things up, and trusting everyone. It's only cost $1400 so far - i just hope the theives wipe it clean before they realive the value of the data on the computer.
THe good news is that I have another job. It's a better job and I'm not even unemployed yet! I will work the old job 3 more weeks, take a week off then start the new one 10/18. I am very excited about the change. I am going to get back on plan and see if i can lose some weight in the 4 weeks before I start.

Navida, you have been smacked around. Getting laid of when the others in your office are less qualified, is bad enough, but then to get robbed, and by someone that was in your home???? That is seriously sick!! I am always so wary when any of my son's friends come over, or we have a get together and there will be people there that I don't know very well. I put everything away, close all the bedroom doors, and watch them like a hawk. Luckily, we have 4 very big dogs, and the pyrenees is very intimidating!! He scares the crap out of people when they first see him, because he is very protective. On a positive note, at least you found another job already, it is better job, and you got it before you even got laid off. As for the info on the computer, I would let my clients know that the computer was stolen and that their info may have been compromised, so that they can protect themselves from identity theft. Glad that you are back and that you are determined to get back on the wagon and lose some more weight!
