Wednesday!

Good morning all! 

I can't believe I get to start the thread this morning!  I have been out and about to take Marc to work and did a load of laundry already.  I am gonna be with Kim again today!  I had an awesome day yesterday.  We went to lunch with Janene and Mark and then I went up to Wabash to support group with Janene.  It was alot of fun.

Reese and I got to walk the campus yesterday!  It was windy but we had a great walk and it was nice to be outside!

Today will be a catch up day for me.  I have a bunch of little things to get done.  I hope the weather don't stay gloomy all day.  If it does, I will just have to make my own sunshine!  LOL

I hope everyone has a good day and stays dry!

Huge hugs,
Tracy

Yesterday I drove to Bloomington to see a dietician for eating disorders. I really like her and think it's going to be helpful. Just having a positive feeling seems helpful.

I have been fighting a respiratory cold for a week atleast now. So I stayed home from work last night at Sears, because I was coughing so hard by late in the afternoon. Just stayed home and rested last night.

Today I have both jobs though, back to the grind!

Good Mornin' posse!

Well now...Rain...Snow... Y'all be safe out there today! Watch out for the winds and flood!

I had a wonderful day yesterday with Kim and Tracy! Wabash's first support group was good...not many in attendance...but i do think between th one Tracy will have in Marion an the one in Wabash good things will happen! I NEED IT! 

Today its back to basics for me. Oatmeal and protein now for breakfast and sf jello and cottage cheese for lunch. no clue for supper have to see when I need to go pick up Taylor. He is coming home today....happy and sad feelings over that...but always good to have my son around. My heart just breaks for him though. Please keep him in your prayers. And add mysister to the prayer list too.

Morning ladies,

Floated and swam my way into work this morning...someone we know woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.  I'd like to introduce you to my evil Twin "Crankie Frankie"   Don't worry she's going to go away in a little bit because my girl Amber's already told me to straighten up!  She scares me!

Tracy, I'm very happy to see Kim, Janene and Mark were able to keep you out of trouble yesterday!   They ROCK!   I bet their exhausted today!! Have FUN with Kim today!!

Linda, Wasn't it a great feeling to talk to someone who understands what your going through?   My first session with a counselor was uplifting - I went in with 500 lbs on my shoulder and came out WITHOUT it!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!
Huggs,
Frankie

Hi Everyone,
 Well, isn't this a gloomy day?! I took the twins out in their stroller yesturday and walked for 1/2 hr. We went around and got some fresh air, (much needed for me) & they really loved it. Those double strollers are wonderful. I got a kick out of them- "whats that?" is there favorite thing to say. I kept them bundled up  since it was windy. It was  good exercise for me.& I was out of breath by the time i got them in the house. Then the phone rang. I bet the person that called wondered what I was up to- hee~hee!.
 Going to work at the flower shop later today,after Amy gets up. They have alot of orders for tomorrow & then do prep work for Thurs. I went to exercise yesturday and worked out with my trainer. She is bumping up my workout & I can tell it. We work on the 1/2 ball doing a side step routine that is helping my balance issues.By the time I got done I was wore out- but it is a good kind. Bethany is 25# now & Aiden is 21#, so thats alot of lifting for me. I can't believe that is only a small part of the weight I carried around every day & never noticed- cause boy, now I do!
  My lilac tree is budding- does that mean spring is on the way-OH, I HOPE SO!!!! I am ready for some warmer weather. I can hardly wait for  our trip to Hawaii in April. We have never been hter, & it is even more fun 'cause we are going with friends to celebrate thier 40 th Ann. Anyone gone before & have cheap ideas of things to do?I would love to go on a heliocopter ride over the Islands, but doubt we'll be able to afford it. We do plan on going to a Luau, & Pearl Harbor. Plus go see the black beaches ( crushed lava) & of course the ocean!!!!

Terry- I am continually keeping you in my prayers. You will know what to do that is best for Lyn & for you. You have to take care of yourslef as well. May you feel God's love & peace surround you. .

 Well, time to go, keep the son- shine in your heart, & know you are loved.

Good Morning Everyone,

I am home again today.  All is going well after surgery on Monday.  Wow the anesthesia really through me for a loop.  But I am doing well today.  There is so much I would like to do here at home, but I am reining myself in.  I know I can't do much of what I want to do.  I can't lift anything with much weight.  I have to call the appliance repairman.  My dryer is making screeching sounds when we run it with anything in it.  I hope he can get here today.  I had to wait until we got paid to call him.  I have done laundry at the laundromat for the last two weeks.  It's so expensive.  Especially when I have a washer and dryer at home.

I hope all is going well or at least better for everyone.  All have a great day.

(good) Morning everyone...

My day is not off to a good start at all. I woke with the alarm (@3:30) with a migraine. Fortunately, I still had 3 or 4 of the strong vicodins left from last time (the rest of them, my stomach pain claimed) so I took one of them, called & left a message for my boss, then went back to bed. After about an hour or so, I got nauseated...probably for taking the med on an empty stomach. So..got up and ate something, then laid back down. While I was laying there, I heard on the TV (Bill HAS TO sleeep with it on...grrrr...) that the weather was suppose to be totally crapola today so I decided to just stay home and nurse myself. My eyes get so weak post-migraine and the headaches start back up very easily for the rest of the day...so...not a good day to go to work and stare at a computer screen! So..since I have no meetings scheduled for the day, I came in here to our computer room to drop my boss an email. Then Unique comes. They are actually going to try to work with a severe thunderstorm on it's way??? So..now Lotus will not shut up. 

I hope you all have a good day. I emailed my boss so I'm putting on my MP3 and hide out in our dark bedroom and try to ignore Unique & Lotus.

Hi! I'm sneaking on a little early as I have a lot of things to get done today. I have to go for rural route count training tomorrow in Indy for the PO, then Friday of course is my nutritionist appointment and lunch with my OH friends!

Guess I won't be going for a walk at lunch today, it's still raining like crazy! It was a deluge on my way in this morning.  Would have been a great morning to curl up in the recliner and just listen to it.

Better get back to work...have a great day, everyone!!

Happy Hump Day to All

Yestersday was good, I got wonderful news from my sister and a good workout at the Y last night. 

Tracy we need to get together sometime soon and do lunch, if Kim feels up to it would be wonderful for all of us to get together. 

I cannot wait until our first support group here in Marion.  I am needing to get back into the support group, let me know when the next one is in Wabash and I maybe able to make it. 

I got another call from my sister today with wonderful news again.  Regency has inserted a smaller trac into her this morning and put her on the voicebox during the day and back on the machine at night, if everything goes good this weekend, then they are talking about the trac out completely on Tuesday.  I need to buy stock in the tissue company lately. 

I am taking my lunch break and had a protein shake, and doing a post or two b4 I have to go back.  I am off to the Y after work tonight again, I feel better after I exercise, I seem to sleep better also. 

Everyone have a wonderful afternoon and I will talk soon.

Hey everyone!

  I am late in the day.  I had a grouchy pouch yesterday and didn't get on much.  I did make sure to add my food list to the accountability thread today though.  Perhaps, I should have have eaten a piece of cake with my friends kids while I was babysitting?  Think that might have been why my stomach hurt???  I counted the calories and wrote it down....so it's over now.

  Today I have been to Dad's and we are done with dialysis.  I am now home and should be doing laundry.  We have like at least 20 loads.  We are bad at keeping up with it.  But I don't wanto to.  I want to sit on my butt and do nothing. 

  I am doing really bad at exercising.  I just can't seem to make myself.  That is the one life change I have NOT embraced.    I have a lot of fatigue and I let it get the best of me.

  Well, I am going to go do laundry so I can use that as an excuse not to exercise.....
Hope everyone had a great day!
