Good Morning California! (Wednesday!)
As I type, I'm pissy my sleeping pill (Dalmane, anyone have experience?!) hasn't kicked in, even when I took it at midnight. :-(
Anyway, tomorrow looks to be a good day here in West LA. I'm getting up at 8. 8? I'm insane, but I need to make a protein shake or something before I meet a friend, and we're going walking! Me, walking! As in organized and planned! How exciting.
Hope everyone has a marvelous morning, afternoon, and evening. I am looking forward to experimenting with soft foods, so the days are exciting and filled with "adventure" as we see what my pouch likes and dislikes.
GOOD MORNING!

Well I am not much better than you...I took Ativan and here I am awake...mine is partly due to I am so racked with pain right now that it wakes me for sure. My everything hurts for doing all this work in my house!
I am so happy for Shira....I know that walking and just getting out there and doing it is huge right now! You are going to do great...just keep in tune with your body!!! Oh and btw....you might need your meds changed with having surgery...so even though I am not familar with the sleeping aide you are taking, you might want to call Dr's office and talk with someone if not him because it could be since your system has been changed, the meds need so also!!!
Best to you on your walk today and make sure you bring your water with you and something to eat. You do not have the reserves like you did...maybe a cheese stick or something like that!!!
Have a great day and the rest of the Cali Crew!!
PEACE OUT!!!

Good Morning Shira and Cali,
Walking and soft foods sounds awesome have fun with both and be careful.
Thanks to everyone who wished me well with my tour yesterday. I have to say i am slightly concerned at this point. It seems the man (principal) who hired me left the school as well as 3 of the 4 asst. principals. Now I know that there is often lots of changes every year especially with a school this size (3400 kids). But even while i was there the principal's secretary told us that the district had called that morning to say yet another teacher was not returning and the position would need to be filled. My classroom as of now is on the 3rd floor. Not thrilled with that but I sort of expected it. There are elevators somewhere but I never saw them and my classroom is close to the stairs. They are having a new hire orientation on Aug 28th and school starts Sept 5th. I'm just amazed that no one seems in any particular rush to get classrooms, books, curriculum or anything else organized. Oh well I'm just going to go with the flow for now. Sorry its so long thanks for reading
I'm headed to physical therapy.
Everyone enjoy the day
Monica

Morning Cali Kids!!
I couldn't sleep last night either!!! Must be something in the air. I had to drag in the fan from the living room and have it blast on me for about an hour before I felt ready to crash out.
At work again today. Took yesterday off to deal with inspectors at the apt. That took all of 10 minutes!! I thought long and hard about coming in to work after, and decided a nice nap would be better.... probably why I couldn't sleep.
Well, there'll be no napping today! After work, I'm heading home, packing a little, and heading up to the Valley to spend the evening with the guy i've been seeing. He'll be out of town for all of next week, and I want to see him before he goes. I haven't seen him since about 2 weeks before the surgery ... and everyone tells me they can see the 20lbs gone. So this will be interesting. :)
Shira, I emailed you back, didn't i, about meeting to walk? Hmmm... My mind's a mass of muck lately!
Happy Hump Day Y'all!!
Good morning Shira and the rest of the Cali Crew
Well we are half way through this week and it's not to bad out at the moment. I have a feeling it is going to get very warm.
Shira, so sorry your not able to sleep. Like the other post said make sure you talk to the dr. and let him know so he can get you something else to sleep. Sleeping at this point is very important to you.
I did manage to make it through the day yesterday with the electrician here and no electric for about 4 hours.. oh was it muggy warm.
OK well heres to a wonderful day for all of you.
