Iwan's Weightloss Journal

I will have to build a blog for you all to visit with chapters in it. Man, my day has been full of some crazy weirdness. I'm glad I've decided to write a book, I have a lot of inspiration right here at work.
 
My uncles body will be flying home for the last time tomorrow. His funeral is scheduled for Friday at 2pm. The families travel plans have been taken care of. Theres going to be a potluck after the service and burial for the community. Like I've mentioned before this is a small town and everybody knows everybody, we're all interconnected somehow. There will be a lot of people there on Friday, everybody loved Billy. He will be buried in the family plot in the graveyard behind my house on the side of a hill with a view of the Bering Sea next to his sister, brother and parents.
 
Sounds like it's going to be a hard day - emotionally I mean. Good thing there will be plenty of people around. Make sure to take some time for yourself!
 
myself? oh, yeah, I know that chic!
I will, I think it'll be happier then expected, he is released from alot of pain and it was hard on everybody to see such a strong person that sick. But my family doesn't lose people often. Its kinda a shock this whole mortality thing...puts a bit of a damper on things, eh?
 
Know the feeling, we lost my grandpa a couple of years ago.. very strong person, everyone's rock but he was in a ton of pain. For that side of the family it was their first real loss, so it was devistating.
 
your family burial plot sounds so beautiful and peaceful, and being relased from pain is a good thing, I am keeping you in my prayers, you are a strong girl and you are resiliant at that..........look to your inner self to keep you sticking to your diet when it gets tough.....you'll thank yourself for this resolve in the end!!! ( I know that nonstop talkers can drive me to eat.........AND nearly choke them as well, don't they know when it's good to shut up?:eek: so stay strong)........later sista STAR
 
Howdy Iwan - hope you're having a good day!! ooo.. and hope your psychic vibes worked and babe-alicious calls you!! ;)
 
NO! my psychic vibes did not work. If I see him today I'll just ask him for his phone number so I can call him. Geeze...get the hint dude! LWMIV.

I did something silly last night. I started writing a freakin book! How hilarious is that. I was pounding away on the keyboard and the lady staying with me was like, "You sure sound busy" so I started reading it to her and she told me to give up. Yea, nice. whatever. I'm not giving up. I wrote the whole first chapter, now I just need about 20 more to call it a book!

I didn't have time this morning to go to the gym, I feel like I'm so lazy right now. My kid was supposed to have school pics this morning but apparently the photographers cameras got bumped off the plane so they had to cancel all the school portraits. Thank you Peninsula Airways. My Uncles body is supposed to be flying in on them today, I wonder if they'll bump him too. If they do we'll have to reschedule the whole funeral because there are things that have to be taken care of spiritually before he can go into the ground. His casket has to be prepared in a very specific way. I believe we are going to sit with him at my grandma's house tonight and prepare his body and then we'll move him to the cathedral on Friday. My family is Russian Orthodox. I am not, I've converted to something else. But I respect my family, the russian orthodox church and my uncles beliefs so I will be there with them through all of this. Although my boss is being a bitch and acting like this is the end of the world because I won't be in to work on friday. I swear the lady is an emotional robot. She has absolutly no compassion or empathy. She is in the wrong line of work.
 
Ah, your boss is a butt-munch (I never use that word; I heard it on Friends:D ) ignore her bad attitude. I hope every thing goes well with your family.


I wanna read your first chapter! Pretty please?
 
yeah, I think if I quit my boss would do a happy dance because nobody around here aside from yours truley has the balls to stand up to her. I don't take shit from no one, not even her. She'd be violating policy left and right if I walked out that door because I'm the only one who has it in them to file a grievence against her and stand around and take her retalition and call her on it. I think there are a few people here that only stay and work because they know when push comes to shove I've got their backs. If I left I'm sure they'd follow suit.

Uncle Billy made the trip this morning. He's got a nice casket. We put him up at the church and had a small service to bless him. He'll be there for a few days, there are two services a day for him till friday. I don't know why, I never got into the heavy church dogma stuff but I'm sure theres a reason. We don't have him at the house because if we did a church reader would have to be there 24 hours a day to read over the body. In the church that's not necessary.

I went to lunch today and got in a big argument with a woman we were dining with about polygamy. She's all for it. I told her I'd be moving in to share her husband and she got mad. Well, I guess she's not that all for it...lmao! her husband was dining with us and spit icetea across the table when I said that. LOL!
 
LOL! Guess she's rethinking her views now...

I love the new AV!! That's exactly how I pictured you with a goofy yet sassy "whatchew talkin' bout Willis" look on your face.

Glad Uncle Billy made it safely. I'm not a big religion fan, the whole thing just doesn't sit with me either.. but I respect other's views!! so we coo..lol ;)

You are soo funny

LOL! You are outragous! I totally love your wit! You see I have that kind of personallity also! Much to my husbands dismay... It's kind of funny when I am embarrassing him and running my mouth, he starts stepping lightly on my toes! LOL:D Way to go, don't let anyone walk all over you. Especially that boss of yours! Gosh, doesn't she have respect for family ties? Maybe hers disowned her, so she's jealous! WITCH anyway!
 
Thanks for the compliments, and the boss bashing. My avi is so photoshopped it isn't even funny. Its me but it doesn't look anything like me...lol! Thats my purdy picture. It took forever screwing with the photo editing program to make myself look that good. I suppose most people would have just put on makeup and dimmed the lights. Me, I take the hard way.
 
Do not bash yourself! I cannot believe you don't think you look great! I DO!! (think you look great!) Evber heard the son You Are Beautiful?? That's for you..
 
I need advice pronto. Should I take my son to church for the funeral, or at all. He's almost 5 and 3 weeks ago had his first communion with Uncle Billy. He knows he's passed on. Should I take him and let him see the body? Is that just too tramatic? I should know these things!
