Thursday Roll Call

Hi all,

It's been a while, seems like things are so busy lately, and the fact that i am going to exercise class 4 days a week, has taken up some of my energy and free time.

So updates, 2nd masters completed as of March 1st-yeah, My doctor is submitting to insurance next week-yeah, ohh we had an aflact presentation at work, which i am definitely signing up for, -very excited about that, and the new company is coming along.  It's a lot of work starting up a company-whew

I hope everyone is doing well, i am tired, i work to hard but as i pick up patients i will begin phasing out the hotel.  i may keep a couple of nights for the discount, but i'm hoping to begin seeing patients in April.

Have a great day all!

Hello everyone

It looks like we might be in for some thunderstorms today.  Now I really feel like spring is near. 

Well at least it's Thursday and the week is almost over.  My pedometer came yesterday.  I wanted to bring it to work but of course I forgot it at home.   

Well nothing going on today but work.  I will run some errands after work and then home.  What an exciting life I live.  Because tomorrow and Saturday is the same plan. 

Well I better get back to work.  Hope you all have a great day.

Good Morning,

Congrats on finishing your Masters, #2. I know its been a long haul for you.

Crystal, hopefully you can relax a bit on Sunday.

My big plan for today is to clean out the  frig. I really have fits when the class selves get sticky.  Some laundry, and some house pickup in general.

With it raining, and the artrithes (sp?) is acting up, I probaly won't be going out today.

DH ordered a meat package from Omaha Steaks last Friday, it arrived on Wed. So, we will more then likely have something out of that order ffor dinner this evening.

Have a safe, warm and  dry day.

Huggers,
LISA

Good morning Shawn Marie and the rest of Illinois!

Congrats on the 2nd Master's!  I BOW down to you!  I would LOVE to go back to school and maybe I should look into it online.  It just seems like I have so little time and even less money, but that would be a great reason to go back to school now, wouldn't it.

Maybe I should also look into the hotel thing as part-time $$$$. 

I am working today then home for leftover grilled meats.  I think we will have the pork tonight.

Nothing else too exciting today.  I DID get David signed up for his "ride-along" with the Freeport PD.  It will be on Good Friday afternoon.  I hope it inspires him.

We still haven't made a decision about the parade on Saturday.  I guess I should check the weather forecast befoe I get too into the idea.

I wish everyone a wonderful day!

GOOD MORNING TO ALL,
  well it is a fact!!! drum roll.... we are getting a beautiful granddaughter!!!!!!!!!!!!! so excited, can hardly wait till july!!!!!!!!  still staying on track, very hard to stay off the scales! hope every on has a great day, stay dry, seems to be raining everywhere today, denise

Denise, since I had 2 girls, I am partial to little girls. But nothing is as great as a grandchild. And, not wanting to start a war, I adore my Granddaughter. And since she is the only one we will have, she is doublely special.

Hello Shawn and Illinois,
Congrats, Shawn, on the masters and the insurance submittal.  You've had an exciting month! 

Lisa, I got the fridge cleaned out yesterday and it looks so nice.

Dawn, your grilled meats sound so good, I'll do that tomorrow.

Doing ok on the pre-op diet, thanks for all the broth suggestions.   Going to the store tomorrow so I'll pick up some of them.  Anyone have any suggestions on things to eat when I'm first home from the hospital?  My doctor does not allow any milk, beans, tomatoes at this stage.  Only meat, fish eggs and cheese.  I want to get some things in the house for the first few days.  I'm thinking scrambled eggs & cheese and tuna or salmon salad but not coming up with anything else.

Our son-in-law's surgery went well, we went to see him this morning, he should get home from the hospital today.  Thanks again for all your good thoughts.

Hope everyone enjoys this Spring weather!  All I can say is it better not go back to being cold again.

Hey Lynn!

That is a pretty restricted diet at first!  I did 2 things......BEFORE I went to the hospital, I cooked for my family then pureed that food and froze into ice cube trays.  That way, I had an oz at a time that could be thawed in the microwave and it was cooked/seasoned just the way I liked it.  So.....if you grill up some stuff, puree and feeze it.

I also used baby food in a pinch.  You can add seasonings and it really was not too bad.

Glad to hear all went well with your SIL too!

Thanks, Dawn.  That's a good idea to make meals ahead and freeze.  We can't use baby food so that's out.  I'll get some things grilled next week and frozen.

Thanks for the ideas.  I'm also really enjoying all your Recipes of the Day.  I've saved them to try when I'm further along.

Lynn

It was pretty dreary this morning and now the sun is out.  How nice!  I am finishing up at work and then heading out to the gym.  It's my second night of running this week.  It will be my short workout because I have some work to do at home tonight. 

Anyone into Lost?  I can't believe it is the last season, but I can't wait for all the secrets to be revealed.  :)
