Easter candy hangover
Why oh why does Easter candy have to be so tasty? And irresistable? Solid chocolate eggs. Jellybeans. Robin Eggs which are candy coated Whoppers. Junior Mints. Candy corn.
OK, maybe Junior Mints and candy corn aren't traditional Easter candies but I like them and that's what I got in my Easter basket.
My weekend was a total disaster in terms of eating (too much) and exercising (not at all). Consequently, I feel like crap today and it doesn't help that I'm short staffed, they've turned off the heat in the building, I'm freezing and I'm chugging water like I've been lost in the desert for a month. Needless to say, I've been in the bathroom to pee about 5 times in the past 2 hours.
**************************************************************************************
My uncle called me last week on behalf of my father, who according to my uncle, wants to salvage his relationship with me. And I quote, "Nichole is my life. if I don't have her, I have nothing." Nothing like a little pressure! Honestly, how do I turn my back on that? I talked it over with the Big B and The Saint and they both agreed it would be totally against my personality to completely cut him out of my life but that for my own sake, I need to set some groundrules and not take any shit from him. Easier said than done but, I hear what they're saying.
So my uncle and I are going to my dad's on the 26th for a little face-to-face chat. How insane has my life become personally and professionally that I had to actually schedule time with my dad?
I think my dad is trying not to rock the boat between now and the 26th because he keeps calling me at home during the day when he knows I'm out and leaving messages. So he's keeping in touch without actually having to talk to me. He did it yesterday when we were at The Saint's brother's for Easter. Left a message wishing us a happy Easter and when we got home and I returned his call, he didn't answer the phone. Whatever.
*************************************************************************************
My plan for the week is to get my ass back on the treadmill and/or the bike and to bring my lunch to work. No more eating out!

Easter weekend killed me too, Nichole. My kids have been off until today so it was a loooong Easter weekend. Oh well, nothing to do but keep on going.
As for your dad...
I have a morbid way of thinking of things like this (selfish too, I guess)......I am always afraid that if I cut the older members of my family out of my life, no matter how much they deserve it....something will happen to them and I will feel huge guilt. Doesnt sound like you are going to have the sunshine and roses relationship that would be so nice with your dad. He is older...sounds to be in questionable health? Make peace with yourself about how he is and make the best of it?! I know very very little about this relationship, and it sounds like he is very difficult....but I think you should probably just maintain whatever contact you have now and when he becomes unbearable roll your eyes, bitch to The Saint (where can I get one of those? lol) and try to have a better day the next. The day will come that he is no longer here, and you dont want anything bad on your conscious.
