So, last week (Friday I think, maybe Thursday, but really the day doesn’t matter) I told my co-teacher Jo Ann some exciting news. Here is our conversation as I recall (read Jo Ann’s part with a slight Puerto Rican accent).
Kim: I lost 5 pounds this week!
JoAnn: Really, that’s great.
Kim: Now don’t make fun of me, but I think it’s because I have cancer. And this is why, I haven’t been able to wog (walk, jog) for two weeks and I’m still eating dessert most nights.
Jo Ann: Kimberly, you’re so stupid.
Later that day she told me she had told my boss what I said. Here’s Jo Ann and Deb’s conversation (as related to me by Jo Ann).
Jo Ann: You know what Kim told me? She said she lost 5 pounds.
Deb: I can tell, she looks great.
Jo Ann: Then she told me she probably lost it because she has cancer.
Deb: (eye roll) Tell her God just said, “I can’t win.”
That made me laugh, and realize how silly I am. So today here are my thanks, and guess what’s first?
24. I lost 5 lbs! Hooray!
25. Cool summer nights!
26. Tripped fuse, instead of broken air conditioner
27. God is constant…
28. …He always listens to my fears and never grows tired of it…
29. …and I know I can always count on him to guide me
30. My work week is only 5 days!
31. A calm weekend so I can clean my house (clean counters finally!)
