feeling better today

I spent the whole day at the holiday inn at the arbitration hearing that never happened. The arbitrator sat around all day while we tried to figure out if we could come to a settlement. We got close but the board could not confirm some information so we agreed in principal and called it a day at 4. The board lawyer meets all of the prerequisites for lawyerdom and is the epitome of the typical "lawyer" joke. It took everything I had in me to shake his hand before we left. I complimented our lawyer for not stooping to his level of rudeness and arrogance. The only thing that helped me deal with him was to appreciate that I don't live inside his skin.

Tonight I had my last supper for a while. I was tempted to have an extra snack before bed but decided against it. I am looking forward to getting started on the program Tomorrow and it will be nice not to need to decide what to take for lunch etc.

I forgot to mention that I weighed in at the Y on Mon at 250, for a total of 44 and 6 more to my next goal.

I am very grateful that this hearing is over for now. I'm inviting more calm into my life for a bit while I get caught up.

Peter, I'm not sure why you think I work 3 hours a day? Especially since I told you yesterday that I didn't get home till almost 9. Are you an idiot or what? Whatever you are, I'm glad you are my friend and brother! I love ya!

I appreciate fall sunshine, elly
