Be well, be safe.. and be healthy, and be true to yourself and others,

Good morning all!

Lotus woke me up about 4:30 and had to go outside. I could hear it storming out and thought 'yeah, like she's gonna want to do this!'. But..being the Mommy I am, I got up anyway and let her out...and stood by the door watching her. She was ok with the little bit of rain. The thunder wasn't even too bad. But wow! She sure doesn't like lightening! Isn't it funny how even a dog can understand that it is the lightening that can hurt you? So..she never went potty that round. About an hour later the storming stopped and she was able to enjoy it alot more that time.

I didn't get everything done yesterday that I had planned to do. I ended up busy with other stuff instead so that's ok. So...if the raining stops...and stays stopped...maybe I'll get my herb bed weeded today. We'll see.

You all have a good day!

Sophia woke me up at 6:50. I have set up a coffee IV then down to work today. Last night I finished buying all the blinds for the new house. Today I install all of them. I planned to try to move small things into the new house. Tomorrow is the big stuff like the tv, couches, beds, loveseat, tables etc.
I want to get alot of it done today.
It's wierd around here. We are separating/divorcing, but like some men in denial, he's being overly nice and even helping me move. I think he imagines that I will change my mind at the last minute or a week later and that everything will be "back to normal". But "back to normal" is the reason I'm leaving in the first place. Normal was me doing everything for our child and him sleeping, working and drinking.
I'm scared and nervous and excited and a bit overwhelmed, but after all the planning, I am finally DOING THIS!!! And it's all a bit surreal, like this is not really happening and I'm just dreaming. Maybe it's the 4 hours of sleep a night I'm getting. I plan to meet with the doc Monday and see if maybe he can help me with some of the panic attacks I have at the thought of the financial end of being a single mom.
Sorry this turned into a rant, I've got about a million different emotions and thoughts and plans going through my head right now that its downright dizzying.
Well, I've gotta get off this laptop and down to work, have a great Saturday ladies!!

Good morning all

Nothing much happening around here today, but going to try to get the last chapter of homework done today. I am have breakfast 2 ozs of low fat yogurt, yummy.  I think I over did it somewhat yesterday, I went out to my supervisor house and picked some green beans, too bad I am not able to eat them yet.  I am planning on freezing them, so I can have fresh green beans over the winter. 

In looking through the book of what I am able to eat, I see that they have taken away instant mashed potatoes.  When I had my orginal surgery we were able to have them, but they have removed them this time around, everything else is the same. 

Well I am going to get busy with my homework, so I can take a nap later.  This rain doesnt help, it makes me sleeping. 

Linda I took 3 tynelol pm last night, it seem that it takes that many so I can sleep more then 2-3 hours at a time. 

Sherri I need to get my garden weeded also, doesn't look like I am today.  I may be coming down to Indy tomorrow,if so I will give you a call and get that backpack dropped of to you.  My grandson was so excited when I tolded him that we found his John Cena Backpack. 

Talk soon

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

Peggy,

I should be home all day tomorrow. If it doesn't rain, I won't have an excuse not to weed either...lol!

Hey...do you need any zuccini? I thought I'd ask before I freeze it all.

Sherri

I would love some zuchinni, I will freeze it for when I am able to have it in soup, or bread.  Thanks

Hugs

Hi all haven't posted in a few days. We've been going on excursions the last couple of days so we could walk. Yesterday we took the baby to the county fair so that he could see all of the animals. He loved it but I think I pushed it too far. I'm not feeling too great today.
I still have yet to find a protein drink. At this rate I'll have no muscles in a month.
Well I'm off to find something to do now.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Ayreka,

I tried a fruit punch "bullet" in Crystal light fruit punch and sipped on it for over an hour--it was just a wet drink--no bad taste--just thought I would share!!!

Although I have a billion things to do today, I'm not finding much motivation.  Most of my morning was spent waiting for the mail to arrive.  I've been anticipating a letter from Dr. Inman's office saying that they've sent a request to my insurance.  I know it's coming soon because I called them at the beginning of this week.  Not that the letter will be all that exciting, but it will certainly seem more official then.  So, I'm feeling a little down that it did not come today. 

I've been doing pretty well...getting in tons of protein (hate the shakes though), taking my vitamins, drinking lots of water, and walking or working out daily.  However, I managed to hurt my back this week by overdoing it with yard/garden work.  So, I've done well to walk around the house the past few days and have spent many hours laying on a heating pad.  Ugh!!  During that short time, I've noticed a difference in how I feel...and I've managed to gain 2 stinkin' pounds! 

On a positive note...I am really looking forward to my first support group meeting on Monday.  It feels good to know that other people understand. 

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. 

Grace and Peace,
Allissa
