OK, so I rejoined Weight Watchers. The big thing with weight watchers is to
learn to control your impulses. They stress watching your caloric intake,
journaling what you eat - if you bite it write it - you know what I mean.
All that crap.

Well, I just had the week from hell.

Joe fell and broke his leg. That was the Saturday before Easter and its
been downhill ever since. The computer at work hosed, luckily we were able
to get that back up and running with a visit from the IT guy - so we were
only down one day. But the state of the computer systems are appallingly
bad, requiring updates in both hardware and software - requiring data
conversion.

Read: many months of growing pains.

Then 3 vital pieces of equipment hosed themselves too. Luckily I was able
to repair one, but the others - well.....

Read: went to bank for line of credit.

Amazingly through all this I only put on .4 lbs - so no stress eating! Yay
me!

But then Norman's Orchids decided to email me with their 5 for the price of
4 sale - or whatever it was - and I fished out my credit card like a swabbie
on leave and went to town.

Mostly Phal species. Now *where'd* that come from? I usually don't buy
phals, but I've developed a hankering for bellina and venosas. So here I
sit with a few of them plus a cornu-cervi I've wanted for a while coming.

I figure it beats eating.
