Topic: My Daily Personal Life, by Felissa M. Garcia

I'm sorry I haven't logged on for a while. I have had a very hard week and so has the rest of my Staff at The Family Law Firm. As I mentioned in my last blog, there have been some personnel changes in our Firm and everybody is adjusting really well, it's just that change can be hard sometimes. I miss Coco so much I can't even tell you how sad I am when I think about her.

One of my paralegals has had yet a different sort of tragedy in her life. She is one of the kindest, sweetest, most perfect woman I know and I can't imagine anybody, and I mean ANYBODY, hurting her. But yes, that's what happened and she and I are suffering from grief this week for our respective losses. I think that if anybody is every lucky enough, they will attract her attention and be the luckiest man in the world to have her. She's perfect and wonderful and she will survive this.

So I didn't start yoga like I said I was going to. The reason? Well, I'm scared to show up there all out of shape and fat. There, I said it. But all we women think we're fat, right? So I'll stop right there and try to be more positive about it. I'm just a little out of shape! Ha ha. But on the very bright and positive side, Jacob, the most handsome man in our building, has finally found someone that he likes, and I mean he really likes her. The strange thing is that (remember in my previous blog I said it would be REALLY impossible for me to approve of anybody being good enough for him?), well the amazing thing is that I think I approve of this girl!!!!!!!!! Isn't that cool?! I saw her pictures and she's beautiful and guess what? She's a YOGA instructor! I'm so amazed at how the right people come into our lives at the right time. I believe that this might be the girl that guides Jacob into his right and appropriate evolutionary path. He really likes her and I'm just SO happy for him.

I have been taking the afternoons off at work because of Spring Break. It has been hard coming home, though, knowing that Coco isn't here anymore. I hate even writing that it makes me so sad. I still can't believe that she's gone really. I used to tell her "you're so pretty" and she would put her little tiny paws on her face and push her fur on her face forward. I miss her so much.

We are going to Santa Fe and Taos on Thursday and Friday to spend some time away from Albuquerque and to spend time with the kids for Spring Break. We wanted to take them to Disney World this year but it's not gonna happen until Summer probably. Besides, I'm too sad to go to the "happiest" place on earth right now because I'm grieving over Coco.

I also started a new "medically supervised" diet with this really awesome place called "Fit Weight Loss Center". The people there are really nice and I really like the doctor (who is also a plastic surgeon). Hmmmmmm....... We'll see if I end up needing a "little work" hahahaha. Anyway, it's been really good for me this week, I lost about 5 pounds. I just have a little less energy than I did before but my body is finally adjusting to less food and more exercise. I'll definitely keep you updated on the weight loss and how it's going with this diet program.

I'm gonna go downstairs and see what my handsome hubby is doing. He was taking a nap so it gave me time to work out on the Treadclimber. He's probably still sleeping so I'll let him get his beauty rest. He really is the most gorgeous man I've ever met in my whole life. Can you tell I'm in love?

I'll talk to you again soon. I hope you are having a good start to this Spring. It's been hard for me but I'm making it through ok. Felissa M. Garcia
