Monday Roll Call

Good Morning IL!!   Well it's Monday again and off to work for most of us.  Well not me today I happen to have today off.  I will be doing homework most of the day and also a little bit of light cleaning. 
The lump under my arm has almost tripled in size compared to when I found it just over a week ago.  They want me to finish the meds they gave me and see how it is.  The only problem is that it's very painful too.  I have to admit that it makes me a little bit nervous.
This afternoon I will be heading to the middle school to watch the girl's basketball team, Tyler can't stay unless a parent is there and there's a girl he likes on the team.  I like to go and support the kids anyway, so it will be fun.

What's on everyone else's plate for today??

Monica, you really should call your dr. and tell them it has tripled in size. They may want you to come back in, or stop and show them what is happening.  At least you got a super day to be off. I think it is suppose to warm up to almost 50. The snow and ice should be gone. I am at work, stuck inside until 4 or so. DH decided to call in sick so he could paint one of our rental units. If he can get it done today, more power to him. He is off tomorrow too. No big plans for this week other then work. I hope everyone has a great day. Hugs

I probably will go ahead and call my Dr and see what they say.  When I talked with them on Friday they actually said that is it hurts and you can see it through the skin, that's a good sign.  99% of cancers don't hurt and aren't that close to the skin.  I have had this lump before, in the exact same spot, though not this big, and it took the antibiotics and one month before it went away.  We shall see

Good Morning Monica & IL - Monica -  I agree w/ Lisa.  If you have not already done so, I would call the doc and at least let them know that the lump is getting bigger.  Nothing to mess with. I started my day and week off right.  I was at the gym at 6am.  I struggled with going because I looked at the clock and thought, oh my gosh I am so tired and I could sleep two more hours if I don't go to the gym.  Well, I was a good girl and went.  Of course, I was fine once I was there and now I feel great.  I also me****rainer to go over my goals and what I need to do to achieve them.  I pretty much already know what has to be done.  Tomorrow I'll meet w/ her to go over what settings I need to start out with on w/ the different machines.  It's all about accountability for me. Hope everyone has a great day! Christina

I replied to Lisa's post about calling the Dr too Christina!  I will.

 Congrats on getting to the gym too!!  woohoo  What gym do you go too?  I have been thinking about joining one, but just honestly don't know when I would go.  Mornings around here already start at 6am with getting kids up and ready for school then work and more kid stuff after that.   I need to make time for me I guess.

I joined Planet Fitness in Naperville off of Ogden.  It's only $10. a month. Hours work well for me:

Club Hours Open 24 hours Monday 12:00am - Friday 9:00pm Weekends 7:00am - 7:00pm

I just roll out of bed and go then shower at the gym and make my way into work.  Otherwise, trying to do it after work seems to be a hugs struggle w/ working the partime job and also just making up excuses that I'm too tired, too cold etc.  You know what I mean. Christina

I WISH WE HAD (oops cap lock) a place to work out at that cheap!  I just can not wait for warmer weather to go bike riding! Then the weight will come off! I love bike riding.... Glad to see you had the strength to fight more sleep for the work out.! I am proud of you! Keep up the good work! Karen

Hey Girl.. I hope your doing ok.  I've missed seeing you post.   Thanks for the kind words.  Trust me, I wanted to stay in bed but I felt good once I got going. Christina

Monday is here and I am liking the heat.  Ok 50 degrees isn't heat, but still you know what I mean.  A new chapter is beginning in my life right now and it is going to be tough, but I think it will succeed in one way or another.  I also got totally lost today as I am trying a new route to work, since I went back to my original train.  Talk about changing things up.

Barry, with the way the weather's been lately 50 is a heat wave!  lol

What kind of new chapter is starting for you?  want to share or not?  we are here to listen ya know....

Have a great one!
