What a week
I hesitated to post today, even though it's been about a week since my last. My mood is not that great today. The new job that I started this week, ended today. (This was the P/T sewing job, that I mentioned previously.) I just knew today, that I would not be able to do the job.
I've mentioned before that I used to sew, some years ago, and made swimsuits, so when I saw the ad placed for a seamstress, I thought I'd try it out. I could not get used to the industrial machines. They really wanted a professional swimsuit maker to come in and just pick it up and be making production; like on the first day. I struggled too much. I knew it; the lady that hired me knew it too.

It is such a blow to the ego, especially when you've been doing work for so many years;when you know who you are (pretty much so anyway); what you're capable of; and where you're going (or like to be going.)
I'm trying to go easy on myself, but I tend to be such a perfectionist about everything, that it is difficult. Well, back to searching.

The Diet
This week was the first week that I tracked my weight at home. This also was a bit difficult, as my scale at home is about 8 or 9 lbs off from the scales at WW.
So even when I deducted the difference, I didn't lose anything this week, but weighed less, so my programmable calculator tells me I should be eating less points!
O.k., I didn't lose, but I should lower my food intake? No this doesn't make sense. So I guess I'll gauge for a couple of weeks to figure out how much I should be eating.

My jewelry business
I feel like I've neglected my business this week, with all the working outside jobs. And I don't like that feeling. My jewelry business is my first love, and I need to pay attention to it. Earlier in the week, I did learn some new metalsmithing techniques, that I can't wait to show off. Plus, I'm almost ready to show off my new website. Stop back for more.
