Thursday Roll Call

Good Morning Boys and Girls, Not sure if there are any surgeries  for today.  If you are going out today, PLEASE dress warm, and be careful. It is terrible out there with the actual temp and wind chill. I know alot of us have to go to work, but if you don't have to leave your warm homes today, please stay in. I am still debating what to wear today, since the office I am at is cool anytime. I do know I am dragging out the extra long furry (fake) coat, with the big hood. I know it makes me look like a big purple ball, but it keeps me covered just the same.  Hugs from a small town,

Good morning!! It is cold out there but I did manage to get to the gym and work out this morning not too many people were there though. Getting ready for work

Good Morning everyone!  
Today I have the day off of work, we are so slow this time of year my boss told me to stay home today, which I will gladly do!  I hate winter and it's just too cold outside.  I will have to go and pick up my oldest from a basketball game he is staying after school for later, but I won't have to get out of the van! lol
Please stay safe and warm today!
 I will be finishing up my last test for school before my next class comes and also maybe some cleaning...we shall see. 
I hope everyone has a wonderful day

At work and am diving into the paperwork where my nose will be buried for the rest of the day.  Christine

morning all,

I am at work and I really don't wanna be.  On days like today, everything should be closed and we all should stay home. 

My chair here at work is killing me.  I think I lost  weight in certain areas that I need the cushioning.  I came home hurting everywhere last night.  I wonder if I can find a really good pad to use with it.  For now, I brought in my kitchen chair pad from home.  It helps some, but isn't very ergonomical (sp).  I just heard on the radio that the trains are running hours behind.  I don't know if that is just in our area or not.  I hope Barry is okay today and not freezing waiting for the train. I brought a chicken pot pie for lunch today and it says it is loaded w/ fat, but I am thinking thats from the crust, I hope because I only plan on eating the filling.  I am just too tired at night to cook and I want a little bit more variety instead of soup. Everyone have a great day, stay home if you can, if you must go out please dress warm its brutal out. ~Michelle

Good Morning IL - I brought a book w/ me to work today.  If they want to pay me to read a book, by all means.  They still do not actually have my new duties ironed out so I'm just kinda in limbo.  I was pretty tired mentally and physcially after work yesterday.  I was in the shower this morning and is all I could think about was how I could not wait to get thru this work day so I could go home and sleep.   I really have to get out of this funk.  Instead of going home and going to bed, I'm going straight to the gym after work.  I have to get this body moving and I know that working out is the only way I'll meet my final goal.  We are going to NC on vacation toward the end of June and I want to at or close to goal.  I was a little ashamed when I returned yesterday because one of the guys I work with made a comment.. "Chris, I was really looking forward to seeing how much more weight you had lost".  I told him, well, I gained 7lbs instead.  It just goes to show and reminds me that the surgery is only a tool.  I still have to do my part and exercise is the key for me and of course watching my food intake too. Stay warm everyone. Christina    

What's with this weather!?! I don't mind the winter but when it's warmer in Alaska I start to take issue! Oh well, my office is warm and I'm dressed warmly too. It's beautiful looking out the window at the campus with the trees all covered with snow--stick with the positive, that's me.

Stay warm, folks!

Hi all!  Well today is my consult day. 2:15pm to be exact. Not looking forward to go out into the cold, but I obviously have a good reason. I have been so nervous and excited for taday to happen that my darn period started again for this month. Now I am all buckled over with cramps, popping meds to get it under control just so I can function. Doesn't help that I have an in-home daycare and 8 little ones to chase after. Thanks God for assistants!  Wish me luck! Allison

It seems we all made it to work. Except for Monica, who is lucky enough to be off, and staying home, At least until later.  Connie, I agree, it is pretty outside,  just to darn cold! When do you leave on your cruise? Christina, take advantage of your slow time. We don't get many of them. Everyone stay busy, and stay warm.  Hugs,

Hi everyone, Well this is day 14 for my dad being life support.  This is really taking a toll on my husband and I.  I think I am going to do some much needed cleaning around here and do some paperwork.  We are seeing baby steps w/ dad, so that's good.  My bestfriend had a miscarriage, so I have a meal in the crock pot and homemade bread baking for her.  I will bring that to her tonight when the kids go home.  Allison, I watch kids too.  I have 3 kids plus mine.  What fun, but today I am sooo tired!  We are going to bed extra early tonight!    Went to WW last night and I totally expected a gain because I have been eating like crap!  Can you believe it????  I lost .2  Hey, it's a loss.  that's a total of 5 pounds now.  I have to start working out.  I just don't know how people do it when tragity hits the family and they stay on track.  Just wanted to pop in and say hi!
