Tuesday Roll Call
What has Connie and Kay gotten me into????? I stayed up till midnight knitting! The scarf is coming along and looking great! I want to thank them again for being so patient w/ me and teaching me such a fun and rewarding hobby!
I have the kids again today...so just fun and crafts. Yesterday they played in the snow and loved it. When they came in I had hot chocalate for them. I made meatloaf for dinner last night and it actually went down nice. I took my time and dipped it in ketchup. I think tonight is tuna noodle casserole. I hope everyone has a great day.

Made it to work ok today but didn't go yesterday...felt really bad.
I have a history of depression and it's back. Called the office and they said it's really common for depression to set in after 3/4 weeks (right were I am). Plus she thinks I am dehydrated, hence the dissness and nausea. I did my walk in the morning and they couldn't stop crying, thought I was going to passout and vomit at the same time. I didn't drink my shake or eat anything before had, big mistake, and I think that had something to do with it. I have been taking my meds but am going to my PCP today to do a med check and hopefully get my dosage upped to help me out.
Other than that, everthing is going down fine (and staying down!) I walked this morning, after I had 1/2 my shake, still felt bad when I was done, but made myself take a shower and go to work so I wasn't at home and tempted to just sleep the day away...sorry about the dreary post, I think I am past the "I can't believe I did this" phase to "Why did I do this again?"
natalie!

Good morning all my Illinois friends!
Just a quick fly-by here for me as I was almost and hour and a half late for work because of the CRAZY traffic on Route 20! Cars in the ditches everywhere, some on their roofs, and overturned milk truck and bumper to bumper non-moving traffic! I didn't think that the roads were all the bad, but some folks must have been going too fast.
I'm wishing everyone a better day in their daily struggles today and please stay SAFE and warm!

So beautiful looking out the balcony doors. It is hard to believe that my widgets reading of eight degrees is right.
The receptionist for my nut called Friday and said she needed to talk to me. My fears were right. They shut down the office and moved out to Elgin. What a mess. The paratransit bus that would take me wants to route me from Shaumburg to Rosemont to Dupage County to ?Oakmont? then to Kane County, arghhhhh. This is because the service is supposed to go along the paths of fixed route buses for folks who cannot walk to the buses. There is a commuter bus to Elgin but those do not count.
If I cannot find a better solution I will end up getting up at six to drive DW to work and then have to go back to get her in the afternoon. Oh, well, I will find something to do. I have been wanting to make an actual visit to CARS.

Good Afternoon all!
Today is being spent doing chores, laundry, dishes, cleaning etc.. and staying warm. This afternoon I do have to leave to pick up Noah from school and take him to his weekly psychologist apt. Jeff is working from home today so I am making him come with us as the two of them have been at each others throats for weeks now.
I am so glad Janet seems to be feeling better today, Hurray for her! I hope to get to her point someday! I am so sick of this lower stomach area, I think they call it the pannus, sitting on my legs, although it has gotten much smaller, I cant wait for it to be gone!!!
I have really been trying to concentrate on my protein intake lately. Besides the chunks of hair I am losing, I know over the holidays I was not protein concious and should have been. I am starting back on some protien shakes here and there to add some more into my diet. I have also been on "Eggfaces" site to get some new recipies to try. If they work out , I will post them.
I hope to see some of you on Sat at the ABMC support group! Let me know if anyone is coming!
I hope everyone stays warm today and survivies this crazy week!

Hi There, Nothing new going on today. Just waiting for the doctor to call with the lab results so I can move forward.
I made turkey legs and brocoli for dinner. I was bored so I cooked!!!!!
It was a blah day, just did laundry and crosstitched and played on facebook for a while.
Hope everyone is doing well up there in the snow.
