Thursday Roll Call

Happy Thursday!

I am not sleeping well and feel like crapo. I realize my delicious sleep is a direct result of working out so hard; which I have not been doing. I guess since I laid around most of yesterday, my bod just wasn’t tired enough to rest peacefully last night. I started the antibiotic. I hope it does its magic.

I have a busy day today. A dear friend/X-sister-in-law passed away and today is her wake. I am going to have to trek to Evanston today to pay my respects. I hope to be there early and then out before I see my ex-husband and his family.  I have not seen any of those people in 20 years and it isn’t something I am looking forward to. My daughter will be going with me so I guess it will be nice to at least have company on the ride there and back. In 1990, I met a hot-looking athlete and had a “quicky” marriage. It was a disaster and I got out of it fast. No kids. I made a great friend, though, in that marriage and today I am going to say goodbye to her. She, too, was an ex, but she was married in that family for 30 years and I know they will all be there. Ugh.

I think yesterday was the coldest day ever in the history of Chicagoland. I froze my arse off. I went out to run a few errands and I was surprised at the frigid temps.  I had on all my winter gear but the air was icy. What the hell!?!?!?!?!?

I also ate all day yesterday. I ate sugar and carbs and you name it. I feel like I am out of control. This morning I weighed myself and lost 5 lbs. What gives? I also feel like a mack truck hit me from not working out and eating so much crap. One day at a time……………….

Well, my little cheeky monkeys, I must go and start this day.

It is spring and I already see a blue sky. That’s something at least.

Hugs,

Sharon

Hello everyone

I had another one of those days at work.  I was just minding my business doing my work...when my boss came to my desk with a stack of papers (literally about 2 rulers high) and says this needs to be proof read for mistakes, copied, hole punched, put into binders and I had to put tabs to separate the unions, and sent to the CFO by 3pm!!!!  Plus do my own work!!!  So I was a busy bee...and I was running back and forth from my desk to the copier to hole punch and people asking questions at the door....whew!!!! 

And I did get another compliment at work.  One of my coworkers told me I was a "big bundle of sunshine"...aww that is sooo sweet.  And the funny thing is not the first person to call me sunshine...hmmm.  I had a teacher in Jr High that called me Sunshine instead of my name (even in class...hahaha)...he said because I was always smiling and laughing. 

Sharon-  Lately with my sinus issues I find when I skip a day (which you are supposed to) I am more stuffed up.  Exercise is a natural decongestant for me and it clears me out really nice.  But the day I skip I am uncomfortable stuffy...even with medication!!!  And I sleep better as well!!!  Exercise does so much for us we just don't even know!!!!  The 5lbs who knows...could be from stress...could be from your efforts last week...cause I believe you are working a week or two behind.  I don't think it's immediate.  Like you eat a cheesecake and 2 days later you gain 3 lbs...at least not for me.

Well I have to get going...see you all laters gators...bye.

Sharon-  I am so sorry to hear about your friend.  As you know my ex-sister in law is very dear to me as well.  So I can understand your pain and not wanting to run into your ex...ugh.  I hope you are able to grieve in peace without any drama with your ex today...I will be thinkning of you.

I found out my good friend Monica,  her father will be going in for open heart surgery today...so I will have two people to think of today.

Hi, 

Here I am.  I think I missed yesterday.  Was sitting in the lobby of the Pain and Anesthesia folks yesterday at Northwestern waiting for my wife when I realized I was supposed to go to the plastic surgeon and my concern for her had completely blocked it out.  She says I should go first with my surgery so I will likely schedule that and a CT this morning.  This will repair a myriad of hernias but not my flap which may come later.

Good Morning Everyone!

Happy Friday Eve!  I wish I could also say Happy Warm Weather!  Where is that spring?  I am getting really ticked off that it is still so cold.  I am tired of my winter coat.  I want warmer weather, not hot but warm. 

Today is just a regular day.  Work and then home.  I am ready for home and a nap already and it is not yet 8 am.  Sigh.

Sharon thanks for the info for the product from Amazon.  I ordered some last night.  I hope it helps.  I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.  That is very hard to experience.

Lisa, Sunday is coming fast!  I am positive you will be having a time to remember!

Dawn, I am so excited for all of you as you explore possibilities of colleges for Liv.  Have fun!

Everyone have a great day!

Good afternoon Sharon and the rest of Illinois!

Just a quick fly-by to let you know I am here and doing well.  Very, very busy at work and getting ready for the road trip.

I am thinking of you all and appreciating all your good thoughts sent my way!
