Wednesday Roll Call

Hello everyone

I guess Winter is taking over again.  It was nice while it lasted.  Although, it would have been nice to see the sun during this warmth. 

I am hoping that whatever it is I am feeling will go away with the cold.  If it's allergies it should.  If it's a virus or infection of some sort then I'm screwed...because it's already in my ears (they are clogged I can feel it...I am thinking it's too late)!!!  I will give it a day and go into the doctor.  He knows my tendency towards ear infections....he will give me something.  I am taking Allegra-D...but the regular dose wasn't cutting it.  I know I shouldn't do this but it really isn't harmful.  I doubled the dose, but doubling the dose is just like taking a prescription dose.  A pharmacists told me that once.  So I am taking double the dose just to feel so-so.  The Bonnine is working and I don't feel dizzy.  I just feel run down and blah.  I just want the weekend to come so I can lay in bed as long as I want. 

Yesterday I managed to workout.  I really had to drag myself too...I so didn't want to go.  I did about 45 minutes...not as long as usual.  Once I got going I was OK.  When I was sick last time the doctor told me it was OK to workout when sick as long as your symptoms were from the neck up (if you have chest congestion no working out).and you don't push yourself to hard.  So I try to remember that when I'm not feeling well.  It's ok to workout...just go slower and shorter.   

Well today...is more of the same for me.  What about you guys???

Have a good day everyone...Bye

    

Good Morning,

I hope everyone may it through the rain yesterday. I am so glad I took my jacket in yesterday. It was coming down pretty hard when I started home.

I will be working by myself again today.My coworker is off work for however long the the Dr. said.This is the same one who came back to work 1 week after she had a kidney removed.

We will be going out tonight with friends.

Hugs,

LISA

Do you like working by yourself??? It sounds boring.

Crystal, It isn't to bad, I get clients in all day long, plus there are other offices in the building. But, I will agree with Nancy, she is a nut.

I am a size 12 too. So, when I find a place to buy shoes, I will buy 2 or 3 pairs.

LISA

Good Morning Everyone!

Well the rain is going to turn to snow today.  I love it.    As they say, if you dont like the weather, wait a day, it is Illinois after all.   When I was walking into work the birds were singing like crazy like they do in the spring.  Poor things dont know what they are in for later today and the remainder of the week. 

I am so looking forward to some time off.  I did not want to get up this morning!  The bed felt too good.  Today it is just work for me.  Then home.  I finally got a par of boots that fit!    I ended up going through Amazon of all places.  If only this town would carry shoes size 10 and up but no, they stop at size 9.  They will NOT do a special order even if you pay in advance.  Geesh!

Lisa, I think you work with a nut.  Coming to work 1 week after a kidney is removed?  Anyone that has had an operation is generally out 6 weeks.  What was she thinking?  Hang in there. 

Crystal, please be nice to yourself and not overdo it.  If you dont feel well, dont push yourself. 

Everyone have a great day!

Nancy. I hate shoe shopping. I can never find what I like in my size in the stores. I wear a 12. It sucks to have big feet. I was hoping that my feet might go down in size as I lost weight but no such luck!!!

 

Happy Hump Day!

I have spring fever and am looking forward to getting outside and get the winter cleaned out of my garden. I have so many ideas for spring and for the first time in my life I will be in good enough shape to bend down and work it. I used to have to sit down and was so uncomfortable outside. I yearned to do so many things and now I can. God willing, I will be kneeling in the dirt this spring.

Yesterday, I signed up for Fitness Wars at my chiro's office.  Fitness Wars is a 12 week battle that begins 02/02 where participants will be challenged to get in their best physical shape while competing for prizes. I could care less about the prizes. The prize for me is getting in better shape before the summer. The end also coincides with my one year surgiversary. I don’t know if I will hit goal, but it sure would be nice! I love this because we are all supervised by professionals during the entire process. I happen to also adore the entire staff here and I really enjoy just seeing these folks everyday. I’m thinking this along with my regular visits to the gym should help me get in better shape.

Yes, it’s supposed to get cold again but just for a week and then some warm days again next week. What weird weather. Nancy is right, just wait and the weather changes on a dime around here. The poor birds are in for it.

Crystal how is the mice hunt? I know I am going to sound like a mom but, I do not like that you are taking double doses of medicine. It can affect your heart. Please be careful!!!!!!!! You are such a dare-devil in every way………Have you ever tried a netti pot? It works wonders for stuffiness. I got mine at Whole Foods but i think Walgreeen's has them too. Feel better!

Lisa, I am so happy for you and your revision approval by the doctor. You must be on cloud nine. I recall how happy I was when I got the ok to have the VSG. Life-changing.

Today will be a regular Wednesday. Tonight we are going to the Wednesday All You Can Eat Fried Chicken Buffet at the best restaurant in Joliet, the American Legion Hall…HAHHAHAHAHAHHA. If it were not 6 bucks, I wouldn’t bother since I cant eat but a piece of chicken, but my hubby loves it and we enjoy seeing all of the old vets in their military hats and ribbons. 

Have a great day everyone!

Sharon

Sharon- I have spring fever too. I kind want to tinker with my car. Weird I know??
Me taking Allegra is ok. I used to have prescription and can get another if I ask. I just happen to know that doubling the OTC is the same as the prescription strength because a pharmacist told me that once. So I am taking a double dose just for now but one I get over this crap I have I will go back to taking it as needed.

I will do the netti pot today. I want to pick up some bottled water. I only use bottled water for that now

You should take a car class at the community college/high school...bet there are lots of men at those........

Good morning Crystal and the rest of Illinois!

It seems like I missed you all yesterday.  I have been very busy.

Crystal, you ARE a rock star.  I suppose, if I HAD to,m I could dispose of a dead mouse, but I sure would not WANT to.  I would probably scream the whole time.  I hope you feel better soon.

Lisa---congrats on approval from your doc.  Now, to get approval from insurance. 

As I said, I have been very busy at work and also wanting to get ready for our big weekend at the hotel.  This year, I have to make snacks for the card party on Friday night and then something to take to a Super Bowl Party on Sunday.  We are not going home between the hotel and the Super Bowl.  I think I will make chicken tortilla wraps.

I hope everyone has a lovely day and stays safe!
