Wednesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

It will be another scorcher today.  Of course I spend the whole day freezing at work and then come home and freeze some more...Brenda keeps her house like a meat locker.  I come home and wear sweats, long sleeves and big fuzzy socks...or I will freeze.  Well that's better than being too hot I guess.

I couldn't get online yesterday morning because the storm in Aurora knocked out the power for hours.  So I got ready for work by flashlight....hahaha.

I have no plans for the rest of the week.  Since I'm living with Brenda I have put my social life on hold.  I don't want to be going out and coming home late.  When I get my apartment I do have a few things with friends I will be doing.  Including yoga and going out to the movies.  I miss going out with my friends.  I never really made any friends in Urbana.  So it's been awhile since I went out with friends (not family).

What are you guys doing today?   

Till tomorrow...have a great day all.  Bye.

Good morning all!

I went downstairs to the family room yesterday, my first trip and then I blocked three scarves. (soak the knitting, stretch them out and pin them to a board to make the lace visible) I also went "shopping" in the storage room and found three jackets and two blouses which fit now. It was fun! Then I had to climb back up the stairs. That was a struggle but I made it!

Last night for dinner I cooked smoked duck breast with garlic scapes and fresh rosemary over angel hair pasta with fresh pesto. Of course I cooked more than we could eat, so it will be lunch today. It was really delicious! Tonight we go out to dinner to celebrate the first anniversary of our civil union. We've been together 26 years now, but last year we were able to get a license after IL changed the law.

Stay cool today and well hydrated!

Connie

Good Morning, Happy Hump Day.

Connie, congrats to you and Kay. 26 years is a long time for all relationships. You did alot yesterday. You are certainly on the road to good health.

Crystal, how many days now?

I will be heading for work shortly too. This week is the last wee****il Sept.

Now to get serious, I am totally not happy with myself. As you know, I had to take some of the fluid out of my band in April. My insurance refused the revision I wanted, and without that, there was no way I could pay out of pocket. Any way. I won't be able to get Medicare until Jan. Well. now I have gained 30 lbs. I am really trying to lose it, and not gain any more. We will see.

Stay cool and hydrated,

Hugs,
LISA

I am moving August 10th....so 15 more days!!!!

Good Morning Everyone!

We finally got rain overnight!   I dont know how much but I will take it!

My quiet week turned into chaos.  Our computer systems went down on Monday and continued most of yesterday.    Nothing like a little added stress at work. 

Connie, congratulaions to you and Kay for 26 years together and 1 year "officially" 

Lisa, hang in there.  We are hardest on ourselves.

Crystal, I am sure you are looking forward to your own place.

Everyone have a great day!

 We didn't get any of the rain that LaSalle got.we need it bad.

So busy! 

Had my 1 Month Post-Op visit in Elmwood Park yesterday. Down 45 pounds since starting my 5 day pre-op clear liquids. Feeling amazing!

Hope everyone is doing great! Will catch up this weekend

I thought I posted here yesterday but guess I did not.  I spent yesterday morning playing on the computer.  The afternoon was spent working on two online courses just for the learning and making soup.
