Thursday Roll Call

Good morning Christine and my new Illinois friends! I hope everyone has a beautiful day. I plan to spend some time working on my desk today. I have really neglected it the last week so things are piling up.  It is supposed to be a nice day so I need to work quickly so I can get outside, lots of things to do there too. I got my vegetable garden all planted but have some more onion sets to put in. The flowers are all looking nice in the containers too.  Earl got the wiring finished in the MB yesterday and the SIL hung all the new ceiling insulation. Earl is putting up the new wall insulation today. Looks like it will be ready for the drywallers on Monday. Guess I need to pick out paint and carpet now. I had PT yesterday did 10 mins on the stationery bike, can't believe how sore my knees are today, don't think I'll be doing much walking. I'll have to concentrate on the upper arm.shoulder exercises. Does the exercise ever get easier? BTW I got denied for SS. It's ok though...When I get my weight down and activity level up I'll look for a job. Although I don't think I want to go back to accounting too much sitting. Paulette

morning everyone!  i had a successfull day yesterday on all liquids.  the very hardest part was cooking dinner for my family.  everything smelled so delicious and wonderful that it was VERY hard to not sample everything.  you know, to make sure it tasted ok of course! =)  today is day 2 and its a wee bit harder but still not bad.  i'm having a protein drink at all meal times and that is helping tremendously!  my agenda today is 100% uneventful.  i'm a stay at home mom to 3 kids all under 4.  so my days are usually filled with seperating fighting toddlers!  =)  lots of fun!  unfortunetly for them, i'm finding myself a bit on the cranky side as i'm going thru all the withdrawls.  i've noticed my fuse is very short!  hopefully that will go away soon.  btw...do you know how long it will take before my posts will no longer have to be approved by a mod?  have a great day!

Christie, are you sure those weights listed in your siggy are current?  You look like you weigh a lot less than it says your current weight is!!  You are looking great!

Good morning everyone! I am home sick today with a nasty cold I picked up camping. I worked with it yesterday and am glad I am home today. I am hoping to do some laundry and cleaning. Other than that just hang out. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Good Morning all:  I finally decided this morning that I really needed to start packing for our trip. I did get most everything at least on the bed, just have a couple more things to find, then I will finish this evening. This morning has been busy at work, yesterday we didn't have any cliet come in.  Christine, try putting some good old bleach around your containers, even in them. rodents dislike the smell and will stay away from your plants.  Paulette, try for SS again, it sometimes take 3 trys before you get it, and also, if you don't have a lawyer working on it, get one. Dee, good to see you posting. Connie, be careful on your trip. Carol, take a walk for me too. Dawn, i really do not know how you do it all. Denise, enjoy your coffee. Monica, please don't overdo. Lynne. your day is coming. Hugs

Hey Lisa,  If I was going away on vacation this week-end I would already have my bags packed. I'm already contemplating what I will bring with me to WV and we are not leaving for two more weeks. I can't wait to leave.  Have a great time on your vacation!  P.S. Can I fit in your suitcase?

OK Carol. I am packed, mostly, And I would love it if you could fit in the suitcase.  

Hi Lisa,  I really didn't think I'd get SS since I worked as a Bookkeeper for 30+yrs but since the fractured vertebrae and degenerated disk above that in my  lower back I can't sit for hours on end. Not good for the weight either. I can't have the spinal fusion until I drop 50-70 lbs.  or have TT, but noone will do that until I loose weight. SS said because it is a desk job; with some restrictions; I can work.  That is fine some days but some I can hardly function when the vertebrae slips out of place then I'm on Darvocet and lucky if I can get 2 words together. In the meantime I pray the vertebrae dosen't shirt and not go back into place.  Thanks Paulette

Don't worry Lisa, I won't over do it.  I took it easy today and actually took a nap this afternoon!  LOL  I am just getting ready to run Jacob to Woodman's for some drinks for his party tomorrow at school and then pick up Tyler at the school. He was at Great America all day...icky weather!!  I feel so bad for him and hope he doesn't get sick from this!

Have a good trip!
