Monday Roll Call
Good Monday Morning.
We just had some very black stormy clouds go over. It is raining, thundering and we are getting some lightning mixed in with it.
A fine start to Monday, and the new work week.
I finally got to our second frig. yesterday. It is now all cleaned up and waiting for the weekend bbqs.
Today. if the weather permits, I want to cut a small tree out of the bushes on the west side of the house.
What is happening in your world?
Stay safe,
Huggers,
LISA
Gloomy day but it does not dampen my spirits as we are out the door at 5am tomorrow for the week.
Few things to do after work, like cut Dave's hair, last minute packing,run the dishwasher, go pick up the rental car. On the way from the Woodfield area we will stop at Whole Foods and look the store over again. No buying for us because the food will spoil.

Good afternoon LIsa and the rest of Illinois!
I am working today and trying to shake this "icky" feeling that I have had since Saturday night. We had the wienie party and we tryed both the "Angus" and the "Premium Beef" dogs. I am not too sure of the difference, but I thought the "beef" ones were a bit saltier. They were both very good and one of our guests made the comment that "they tase like there's a lot more dog in them". I assume that he meant less fillers, more meat.
About 8:30 pm Saturday, I just did not feel right. Amber had been complaining most of the day about a headache and just not feeling "right". She laid down for a while, but decided to go home when she could not shake it. It started for me about 5 with a headache, then by 8:30, I left the party in the yard and headed to bed. A HORRIBLE (almost migraine strength) headache woke me at 5 am yesterday. I took something and went back to bed. The second time I got up, I did my protein and vitamins and within an hour, I felt like I was dumping. I wound up back in bed. I got up about 1:30 and we went to a meeting, me still not feeling "right". We had to go to Todd's parents and about a half hour after eating, here came the dumping feeling again. I laid down for a while......repeat..... Now mind you, I did NOT eat or drink anything that should have caused dumping. I still felt awful this morning. Right now, I have a slight bit of the headache and am vey tired, but I did not dump on my lunch. VERY STRANGE. I wonder if it is something going around, or if my blood is out of whack? I amd dillegent about my vitamins and protein, so??????? Anyone have any ideas?
Anyway, I am feeling dog-tired and still a bit "off". Not sure if I will make it to the Rockford Group tonight, even though I REALLY miss my friends there.
I wish everyone a very Happy Solstice!!!!!

I have a hunch here as you said that one dog was a little saltier than the other. Did it dehydrate both of you? I know that you get your fluids in but this might have really done a number on your system. Sometimes it is a delicate balance of one's body system and is very individual.
edited to add - when a manufacturer takes out one thing from a food (like fat or sugar) they add something else to compensate. Somthing may have been taken out of the product and something else added that really did not agree with either of you.

Happy Monday, Normally I hate Mondays but since I'm not working I'm Happy!
Today I'm chilling. Reading a book, or trying to finish the book I purchased. I laid out in the sun already today. My white crackerish color of skin is slowly and I mean slowly getting some color. Each day I try to get more color. An I personally can see it, even though my kids say yeah right Mom. It's there I swear it is~!
Tonight I will get that walk in, even though it is boiling outside. Tomorrow it's off to the Ymca, and I might go tonight if it's boiling outside again.
To answer someones question on where do I live. I live in Fairview Heights, IL it's close to Belleville, and about 30 min from Saint Louis, MO. It's been extremely hot. An it's not even July yet.
Sometime this week I'm going to start whacking down a bu****'s irritating me. Actually there's a couple of bushs that need to be leveled to my knees. So I guess i will start with one bush and go on to the next. I know the birds like this bush, but I can't see the street, it blocks my view. So I'm going to shrink it some.
Hope you have a cool Monday!

Good Afternoon Everyone!
What a day. The storm we had this morning was nasty. In some areas, people got 2 inches of rain in a short period of time. I dont know how much we got here, but I do know that day turned into night. It was pitch black out and the winds were back.
Work was fine today. I am having computer issues. Something is not set right for my new job requirements so I am kind of dead in the water until they get that area fixed. I need that for almost half of all work that I do.
I am enjoying my new hours so much! I just cant believe how happy I am. My mood has changed dramatically. Next week I start at 7:30 in the morning so I am off by 4 PM. I can take that!
Tonight I came home and made a salad for lunches this week and am munching on some of it. I love this salad. It is a recipe I created off a deli salad from Jewel. I never make it quite the same way each time I make it but it is a yummy Greek salad.
Dawn and Randy, I hope both of you feel better soon. It sounds like your bodies are rebelling.
Have a great evening!

Happy Monday!
You probably have noticed I'm the new "kid" on the block. I'm having my surgery on the 29th and live down in Southern IL in Belleville.
So, today I continued with day 6 of liquid preop diet. Whee! I made the HORRID Mistake of buying benefiber powder that mixes with water (No taste or calories or anything) and, ah... (Pardon graphic image. But liquid in, liquid out). No more Benefiber unless needed way later POST-Op! LOL!
it was hot here (nearly 100) so I worked out at the local 24HourFitness gym instead of walking. I was going to take another walk after dark with my son and Rottie, but ugh...It is STILL 90 here in Belleville even at 9 pm!
Warmly,
Jackie

Hi Chris:
Honestly, no I had not discussed it with them. I take two kinds of narcotic pain meds and so tend to be ah, a bit constipated at times. After day 3 of the liquid diet I stopped going number 2 at all. Just peed all the time?
I was just wanting to make sure my colon was cleaned out before the surgery and I wasn't blocked. I wasn't ;) I learned my lesson to ALWAYS check with the clinicians and dr's now. LOL!
Everything is well today, but I think I was just getting rid of teh clear liquids via peeing them out other than number 2.
Warmly,
Jackie
