A not so FREE day...
Question: How does a DQ Blizzard end up costing $368.00?
Sunday was a tough day for me. It was my first weekend in our empty nest. Our one and only is now a Freshman at College. We brought him to school on Saturday. By Sunday I was really feeling it!
I scrubbed floors. I cleaned the house from top to bottom. Anything to keep my mind from worrying about our son.
By Sunday night, I was really looking forward to my Free Day Treat. That DQ Blizzard.
In our small town, our DQ has a drive thru window. The only problem is the entrance to that drive thru is not lighted. And there are several poles on the left side of the narrow drive way leading to the order box. These poles are painted dark blue and are only about two feet tall.
As I made my turn, my car rubbed up against one of these poles. I now have a three foot long blue rub along the driver's side of my new car. A 2003 Chrysler Convertible that I have dreamed about for years.
Today, I went and got estimates to repair the damage.
The low estimate was $368.00. My insurance deductible is $500. So....that's how my FreeDay Blizzard ended up being my last Blizzard! (And from what the auto body guy tells me I am not the only one who has battled it out with those little blue poles.) But that isn't the point.
As my dear husband told me. "Honey, maybe someone is trying to tell you something.
You worked like a mad woman, you were depressed and you had to have that Blizzard....!"
He is right of course. It was an expensive lesson to learn. Food will not solve feelings of loneliness, nor sadness. Food is nothing more than energy.
Today was my first full day back in the gym after my surgery. Armed with my latest lesson and a renewed committment to the Body for Life program....I have dedicated myself to work hard to retain my Body, for Life!
Hope you are all safe and hitting those tens.
Your BFL Bud,

But it was free day!!! Even better, only a free treat, not an entire day. Don't look at it as a lesson...you earned that free dessert. Just go inside next time...
