Feeling Better and Losing

While I’ve checked off my “Work on tile” task from yesterday, it’s more of a technicality than anything else.  Yes, I worked on the tile but due to some tricky cuts, and just some dumb mistakes, I only managed to run 2 rows of one wall.  To make matters worse, I was doing some research on how to do something and I found out that “technically” I’d been using the wrong glue.

Apparently, the glue I bought is organic and can break down over time in wet environments.  I read up on it quite a bit last night and the overall consensus is that, based on where the tiles are on the wall, and the type of the specific glue I used, that things should be okay but I should never do it again.  Tonight, if I get a chance to tile, I’m going to switch over to mortar.

Good news, Elissa got accepted into the Nashville Ballet’s summer program.  This is hopefully the first of many.  She was also put on the wait list for a Houston program which, we’ve been told, is as good as an acceptance letter from this studio.  I’m very proud of her and all of the hard work she has put in.

Poor Dana wasn’t feeling well last night but she seemed better this morning.  I know that she’s got issues to deal with at work and I wish that I could help her with them.  I think the stress from having to manage all of her problem employees is causing her to feel badly more than actual sickness.

I did well on my diet yesterday but, once again, had to put myself to sleep with a shot of rum.  I want to get away from this habit but I’ve decided that, if it’s limited to every once in a while I’m not going to beat myself up over it.  Overall I’m feeling better and losing weight.
