Hello everyone
I was so super busy at work yesterday and running late in the morning. But all and all a good day. I got home and ran some errands made dinner and pooped out. I was so tired.
I guess this neck pain is going around. I have started doing the exercises that Nancy has recommended. It has gotten better. I can get through most of the day before I need any tylenol now. which is a big improvement.
Tonight after work I am going to a cruise night in Plainfield. I love old cars. So hopefully it won't rain till later in the evening. So what are your plans today?
Dawn....sales will pick up...you have to gain a following
Well I better get going....stay cool...it will be a hot one.
Good afternoon Illinois!
My sales Friday totaled $6.00. I paid $10 for the space.....oh well......it was a wonderful night to be sitting outside in a rocking chair. I talked to lots of people and many took my card. I did demonstrations of the sugar scrub and everyone who used it thought it was fantastic. But again.....no sales. There were less than half the people there this time as opposed to last time. I guess I need to make a Facebook page and see how that goes.
I got a sponsor last Thursday night and am meeting wither for the first official time tonight. Yippee! I am ready to move on with this recovery.
Saturday, Liv and I went to a grad party and then a Mary Kay party. The lady convinced Liv that she should have one before she leaves as a way to get her friends together. I don't mind....we might as well since she would probably have them over anyway. It will be a fun activity.
Yesterday, I drove up to Madison to see the Monty Python Live (mostly) show. I went alone as no one seemed to want to join me. It was good and I am glad that I went. I am feeling comfortable in my own skin lately and that is also good.
Today, so far, I have been catching up on some computer work and helping Liv with financial aid. Tonight, my meeting. Tomorrow, the chiropractor, meeting and in the late afternoon a seminar on joint pain. My neck pain has been terrible lately and I am about ready to ask for medication. Problem is, I can't take many that others can.
Wednesday I have an appointment then am having lunch with a couple of ladies from my IOP class. We have all "graduated" and want to stay in touch.
Thursday, maybe a meeting with Janet before she moves to Arizona.
So.....everyone else must be very busy today as I am first at 3 pm.
I wish you all a happy and lovely day!
Tell someone that you love them!

Hi Everyone
Once again the weekend has come and gone. I dont know where time goes. I get involved on the computer, talking to Rick, playing with the cats or reading and poof it is gone! I swear that there is some gremlin playing with the clock! Oh to be young again when time seemed to stand still.
Connie, it sounds like you are getting into a rhythm with the shop. That is good. You want it to be fun but not stressful!
Lisa, you are always doing such neat things. You have a hubby that likes to go places!
Crystal, did you ever see my post about neck pain? My doctor said it is caused by our muscles not getting enough workout as we age and the pain is from the strain of literally holding up our heads.. He directed me to go online and get some neck exercises. I did and surprisingly I got immediate relief. I had gone to a walk in clinic this spring and they had given me a muscle relaxer that also worked but it came back. The exercises worked immediately and when they come back I just start doing them again and the pain relief is immediate.
Dawn, I hope you did well on your sales this weekend!
Hope all is well with everyone
Have a good week!

Hello everyone
Yesterday was a busy day. I got up early then I went to the ne Marianos by my house. I love it. I will be going there from now on. They have organic everything. No more going to multiple stores to find organic stuff. Then I went blueberry picking. Then I went to the Gary Sinse concert at Cantigny and I was there from 4pm till after 11pm. We packed a picnic and it was a nice time. Needless to say I didn't get home till 1am by the time we packed up and got to our car and got home . Then I had to get up early to meet friends for breakfast in Bolingbrook. And I decided while I was out there I would stop at the Pomanade and go to Ulta and Barnes and Noble. So I'm not sure what else I'm doing with my day....quite frankly I'm want to relax a bit.
My neck is still bothering me. If I don't take Tylenol....the pain gets worse and my head and shoulder starts hurting too. Ugh!!!
Other than that....that's all going on in my world.
It looks like a pretty nice Summer day today. go out and enjoy. See ya later...bye
Hi friends,
We are members of Winnebago Buy Local and havr to serve toppings at an ice cream social this afternoon at the Lombardi club. At least it's indoors rather than at a park! I don't know if it will be fun or awful. We shall see! Tomorrow we go the Madison to knit with friends. That will be fun!
Enjoy your Sunday!

Good Morning,
It is looking to be a good day. I just changed around a couple of cabinets in my kitchen. I think I will like it better.
We went to a concert last night. It was ok, I don't think I would go see her again. To loud, even for me, and I didn't care for her music. She kept her eyes closed most of the night. Crystal Bockensox.
We did go to a really nice tapas reasturant before. I posted what we ate on F.B. We will go there again.
What is everyone else up to?
Dawn, how did your sales go on Friday?
Crystal? Sharon? Nancy? Where are you?
Connie, I hope you are having a relaxing day.
Hugs,
Lisa 
Good Morning,
I have just finished cleaning my kitchen and dining room. I am going to do a fast job of the rec room and office and then head out to do some much needed yard work. Then tonight we are heading for a concert, Crystal Bowersox, she was a runnerup on American Idle, a few years ago.
These are the kinda days that I am so grateful for having Gastric done.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Lisa
Good morning,
It's another beautiful day in northern IL. I hope it's as lovely where you are. I am at the store already getting ready for the day. Last night we went to Social for dinner and then I had a chance to knit at home and wasn't so tired that I couldn't think. We are building stamina daily.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend!
Connie

There are many people, members and non-members, that come to the OH community wanting assistance to have weight loss surgery. One of the challenges many people encounter is "The Medicaid Maze" so we wanted to provide information about the difficulties for those people and from two leading bariatric surgeons.
We welcome your experiences by leaving a comment at the end of the article.
