Hello everyone

It's nice to see the sun out.

I am at work and I am bored.  I still can't enter anything.  Yep.  I am two months behind now.  They are still trying to convert everything back into the old system and it's taking forever.  I am frustrated because I know its going to be a mess when the time comes to enter my work and I will be to blame if it's not perfect....just like last time.  At least this time I know the system.  Ugh. 

I have to make appointments for my regular doc and my yearly appointment for my band doc.  I want to get a good appointment so I figure I will make appointments way ahead of time.  I don't have to see them till June.  I hate that you have to make appointments in the middle of the day (when you are at work).  All of the late afternoon hours get taken right away.  Last year I just took a 1/2 day off to see my band doc.

Anyway my plans are the same as today...except I just realized I didn't take anything out of the freezer...so I have no idea what I am having for dinner now???

Nancy- it's nice to hear from you.  I hope Rick feels better soon and gets home soon..it sounds like there are some kittys that miss him...LOL.

Well hve a great day all...see ya later.  Bye

Good Evening everyone!

I have been missing lately  I am so sorry  It seems like I go to work, come home, eat dinner, go to bed and repeat the next day!  The days fly by before I know it  I am not sure where the time goes  

This weekend was another blink in the eye  When I awoke on Saturday, Rick greeted me with "I think I need to go to the er"  I got dressed, made a pit stop at Burger King for a hamburger and off we went  7 hours later they finally admitted him  I could not believe that they took seven hours messing around  GRRR  It was one test after another.  He is still in the hospital and will be there at least another day or so.  

We have both had colds and his asthma and COPD flared up.  It then set off his diabetes which went really out of whack   We were worried about another round of congestive heart failure but it had not progressed that far.  That is the good news.  Today he seems stabilized.  They are trying to get excess fluid off as it was building up around the lungs.  He has a CT scan tomorrow.  He is where he belongs.  Not in the best of humor so I am glad they get to put up with him.    The cats really miss him.  Gizzy has been sleeping and sulking on his pillow and Smokey tried to eat the phone when he heard Rick's voice yesterday  They miss him.  Even Claude was complaining last night   Of course  I miss him too.  But he is where he needs to be and getting better so I am less worried than this past week when I was trying to get him to go to a doctor all week.  That suggestion kept falling on deaf ears  

Work is going ok for now.  We will see how long that lasts.  There was a huge lay off about a month ago and everyone who does not work with contract customers got a release notice.  I am safe for now but who knows for how long.  The other work is going overseas to India and the Phillipines.  

Hope everyone is doing ok.  Will try to get better about posting.

Hi folks,

We went to Madison today to knit with friends--really fun! Now we are both having trouble staying awake at 7 pm! LOL! We also met with another yarn rep as well as ordered some beautiful yarn from "All for the Love of Yarn". She has absolutely gorgeous yarns!

I sat outside yesterday to eat lunch-- what fun! The yard is looking good too. Crystal, your jewelry making sounds really fun!

Have a great week!

Connie

Hi Everyone on a wet afternoon,

It was great yesterday, We were outside all day until we had dinner about 3, then we went out after. I did get a little red, but I didn't burn. now, if it will be like this next weekend............. We leave on our cruise on 05/02.

A normal Monday morning, my co-worker called in sick,again. She has some kind of infection and doesn't know when she will back to work. Nothing new with that. She is always sick on Mondays and Tuesdays. I know, I sound real sorry, NOT!

Heading back to the bedroom to exercise. Will catch you all tomorrow. I wonder where Sharon and Nancy have been?

Hugs,

Hello everyone

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  It was beautiful outside.The kind of day we dreamed about all Winter long!!!!  I want it about 10 degrees warmer so I can break out the capris and flip flops...then I will be a happy camper. 

I sitting here at work eating trail mix because I forgot to replenish my lunch stock at work...Grrr!!!  This was the healthiest thing they had for me to eat here.  I always bring a big bag of stuff for lunch and leave in the fridge.  That way I know I always have lunch here.  But I forgot that I finished the last of it Thursday.  So I will have to bring in more mOnday.  Oh well trail mix isn't that bad...I picked out most of the M&Ms...notice I said most...LOL.

My jewlery party went well.  I had fun making a necklace and earrings.  They are copper.  The weird thing is it starts out as clay.  You shape it...in lay it with a texture.  Then after in comes out of the kiln it's copper!!!  Weird!!!  They have the same thing in silver but it's 10 times more money.  Seriously the silver clay was $150.  Ya I wasn't going to spend that much...even though I like silver more.  Anyway a lot of us have leftover clay so we want to book some studio time and make some more.  The class was like $20 and it included supplies...but we found a coupon for in online on a website like groupon.  Yeah!!!

Today I have nothing planned but work and working out.  I have leftovers for dinner.  So that's it for me.  How about you guys?

 

Well I better get going...see you all later...Bye

Cindy,

I feel so bad for you, but like they say, this to will pass. Remember, one of the reasons you had this done was to be healthy. There are always some hurdles to pass first. You will get feeling better, and as the weight comes off, you will wonder why you were so worried . And you will look back, and that you will remember why you did this.

Please take Connie's advice and give her a call.

Hugs,

Lisa

Ok. I've some serious buyers remorse. Some day I will look back at this and it will all be worth it....I must believe it. This whole time I've been motion sick...Tue I was vomiting blood, and blood clots. 6 hours at Sweeds (local hospital) for the doctor not not even lay a stecacope on me all they sis was monitor my heart and stick TWO IV's in my right arm that i have some black and blue with shades of red and purple bruising. So off to Madison for a upper GI on thursday. They found that one of my staples was poking threw and several tears. So the Gi Dr. fixed them up. That was the 1st time since surgery that I did not get car sick. Friday diligently sticking to diet and having no voice follows into today with no voice and my tummy feels horrible. Some day I will look back at this and it will all be worth it....I must believe it. When is the feeling good phase of this crap going to start? It will get better I know it. I will get better and I know I'm just over a month out. I'm wore out and stressing out Sorry to vent but I needed to share with someone. Have a happy easter
