Happy Hump Day!

Wow people! I can't believe that it's 10:30 and no one had started the daily thread yet?!?!?!

Well..my boss learned of my surgery date and within 10 minutes of learning, beat a path to my desk with a project that just HAS to be done before I go. He does this every time someone goes on any kind of leave, including vacation!!!  So...I know these 3 weeks will fly by here in Lillyville! I brought some of my dehydrated veggies in to work for others to try it out. One girl...an avid runner...is going to go out and invest in a dehydrator! LOL! This one guy who "hates veggies" really liked them. So far, I deep fried in canola oil, dehydrated, then air cooled: green beans, mexican potatoes (I don't remember their name), zuccini squash, turnips, and rutabaga's (tasted burst so I threw these away). I'm also doing other veggies by steaming until tender, dehydrating, and then air cool: sweet potato, carrots, zuccini, onions. I want to stop by the stop and picj up some more green beans to try this way too. The carrots are air cooling & the sweet potatoes are dehydrating. When I get home for work, they'll be ready to be switched around. I hope they all are tasty too since they'll be even better for me without the deep frying (well..better weight-wise, but my Vitamin E & HDL still could use the canola oil****ep experimenting, I might be able to give Yoder a run for their money! LOL!! Nah! I really believe their revenue is safe from me! Well..back at it.... Sherri

Morning Sherri, Morning Everyone! Local OB appt early this morning and - well... 2 to almost 2.5 cm dialted. Still 50% effaced but now I'm softening. Had a small contraction during the examination. He said that he expects to see me at least by sometime this Saturday to deliver. He said that if I don't deliver by my next appoint (next Thursday) with the midwife to go ahead and tell her to schedule an induction ASAP. I'm so miserable. No medications for my RSD and it is so flaring up right now. Constant low grade "cramping" and minor but irregular contractions. I cried for two hours last night till I feel asleep. Having car issues and house plumbing issues too - so I'm on emotional overload! BUT I DID LOOSE 2 LBS THIS WEEK! (Trying to think of something positive here folks. Bear with me!) Anyways - I'm off. Hope everyone has a good week. Jodi
