Deal!!!!!!!!!!

After a long 15-16 months I have finally struck a deal for my back pay! In fact I have the check already. It's been a long time coming, but I am greatly relieved that it is over. I will get all my bills paid up in time for my Mom's visit in June. We've got a busy first week planned: a trip to Biloxi to the Hard Rock Casino, an all day crop, and then an overnight trip to Foley, AL so we can attend the Gulf Coast Balloon festival (one of Mom's favorite things) and finally a wedding the same day we come back from the festival. Then we'll just hang out and enjoy one another's and Marcus's company.

I've started back to the very radical diet that I did last year - only 500 calories a day. I'm trying to learn from my mistakes the last time and stay focused this time. I'll keep y'all posted!
