What is eating you on Thursday?

Tee hee hee... Thought I'd mix it up here. So what's eating you today? Me? Well let's start with... Rich's car wouldn't start this morning after our long, long weekend so he got it towed to get it fixed. Luckily it was just the battery. Just another $250 that wasn't planned. My chest pains which were better while I was away are back. I don't think they are stress related. Work isn't that stressful. I keep wondering about environmental triggers. While away we went to visit my mom's grave and I got an allergy attack and that triggered the chest pains. I have made changes to my supplements in hope of figuring something out. Eliminated vitamins with aspartame in them. Took them for 12 months without knowing it was in there. I used to get migranes from that stuff. Little did I know I was getting small amounts of it with my chewables. Dang. Hoped that eliminating was what helped while I was away. But nope... Ummm, there are the 25 skeeter bites I have from NY. With the rain they had, it was infestation city. The bites are small now but some still itch a bit. The eczema (dyshydrotic eczema so it is limited to hands and feet) on my left foot between my couple of toes is driving me nuts but it only bugs me when I try to go to sleep. I can lay on the bed for hours (like I did yesterday) and nothing but dang when I try to fall asleep at night - it itches like crazy. And my Elidel isn't helping it and when I go to my doctor I keep forgetting to ask for a wee bit of cortisone to get rid of it. Unsoliticited advice from my sister on tracking what is wrong with me. Geez... The house is too fat (aka cluttered). The bank account is too thin. Yadda yadda yadda. I feel so much better now. Kathy

Woo hoo a post I can answer honestly...lol am very tired... end of the week stuff... between work and commute Im gone 12 hours per day... ugh. 75 emails in my work inbox Im feeling REALLLLLLLY fat and feel like I look that way too... but I know its not true as Im a loose 10 at 165 lbs... its mental. but am pmsing as well. I need a haircut my plantar warts are klling me and I dont go back till the 12th. I have an interview the 12th. Job is great... so need to go find a suit. hmmmm... thats about it... except I need more protein and water... just a bit short today... Hugs Karen

Venting feels good, doesn't it? Hugs, Kathy

It's been a toughie for me. I'm doing some very new technical stuff -- always a setup for frustration -- and struggling on a few things. I like to be really on top of stuff. We have an annual "big" trash pickup and this week is ours. The piles of brush and crap and really built up over the last week, making parking difficult. I get *very* irritated when the neighboring business employees park all over the residential street (because it's shady), and not in their lot. I pay taxes, and yadda yadda. So, the guys come with their front loaders and dump trucks to remove the trash -- BANG BANG BANG -- on my front door -- causing a Code 1 Red Alert for my cats. "Please move your cars." "They're not my cars, tow them." This is silly stuff, but I was very irritated. I had a dentist appointment. I'm a dental phobic. On the upside, my new, very sweet dentist thought I was a major WLS success story. Plus, he's going to try to fix my chipped front teeth, believes my insurance will pay for it. Eileen

You are a major WLS success story, my dear! Kathy

I actually had an excellent day. Very productive day at work, then went for a pedicure, manicure and brow waxing courtesy of my wonderful friend Monica (Ms Moni on here) - she's down 62 pounds in three months and looks fabulous, by the way. After that we went to dinner and had a nice chat. Then went home and pretty much chilled for the rest of the evening. Sorry!

Sugar, never never apologize for having an excellent day!
