3 THINGS FOR THURSDAY!
Today I'm grateful for:
1. The rain - I'm hoping it washes a lot of the allergens away. I was SOOO sick yesterday - the combination of no a/c and the pollen just about killed me. I left early, went home, took some more Claritin, some Tylenol, drank some tea and went to sleep for 3 hours. When I awoke, I felt a lot better, but at that point, was WIDE awake!!!!! Normally, my seasonal allergies aren't too bad, but it's kicked my butt this year!
2. That we seem to be in summertime traffic mode!!! I left the house at 6:50 this a.m., stopped at the grocery store, ordered K's bday cake, picked up a couple things I needed and was STILL here by 7:30! Trust me, that's nothing short of a minor miracle!!!
3. That I didn't kill myself tripping UP the steps at work this a.m.!! This reinforces why a lot of businesses have a "no flip-flop" rule!! I was wearing a new, glittery black pair, and apparently, caught the toe on the edge of the step. It propelled me forward, and fortunately, I was able to catch myself before I hit the metal railing. Of course, I had a cup of coffee in my hand, and my arms were full of mail, tote bags, lunch, purse, etc. I ended up putting my thumbnail THROUGH the coffee cup, and EVERYTHING, AND I MEAN EVERYTHING reeks of coffee!!!!
LOL!!!Hope everyone has a great day!!

Look, you said you've been doing all the right things, right? So you probably WILL show a loss. Don't go borrowing trouble that may not be there. Yeah, I know, easier said than done.
Of course we'll support and help you - it's not like we haven't all been there, done that. Only you can decide if YOU can do this should the scale be fd up and NOT show a loss. As far as Brian, he has to fight his battle, you have to fight yours. It's only once you're post-op that you can work together. Maybe he truly ISN'T ready - but you said YOU are, so take that and run with it!!
Who knows? You may find that post-op, he's not compliant, but you are - again, you have to do this for you and not worry about anyone else right now.
Hang in there!

Yes the storms were awful yesterday: and Cuddles has now woken me up two nights in a
row due to storms : Poor baby comes up on the bed and crawls up on me: guess now
I know how it would feel to have a child afraid of storms LOL
Today I am grateful for
1. The fact that it was not raining during Cuddles walk this am : Its hard to juggle an
umbrella with her leash and specimen cup : Yes I chase her around the yard for a urine sample everyday : Rain just adds to the problem LOL
2. That this is Thursday so it means POOL CLASSES YES I am so happy about that
3. That physical therapy starts tomorrow : Frankly the shoulder HURTS and tylenol isn't
touching the pain so I'm hoping the therapy will help.
4. 13 days and counting!!!!!!
Take care all and be careful out there ( great now I have the Hill Street Blues theme running thru my head )
Today, I am grateful for:
1. Exercise. Yesterday was the first day of our new 8 week exercise class during lunchtime at work. I almost talked myself out of going because I was busy. I went and enjoyed it. I'm now looking forward to the next one.
2. Sleep. Another good night of sleep. Fell asleep through the movie "He's Just Not That Into You" Don't know how it ended, but that's okay. Tonight I'll watch Paul Blarth Mail Cop (and probably fall asleep).
3. Dots. I love shopping at Dots. Their clothing is very affordable and stylish; can't say much about the sales girls though ... ugh don't get me started! LoL
4. Skirts. I have decided that I am tired of buying clothes that I can't wear for long and just donating them. I've temporarily given up wearing/buying pants and opted for skirts that if need be, I can always put a safety pin in them when they are too big for me.
Yeah, leaving my coffee in the car as Nessa suggested would have defeated my purpose of having some!!! Man, it went EVERYWHERE!!! I know, I feel SOOOO bad for my Happy, she finally passed out from, I guess, sheer stress and exhaustion!
I think that exercise class sounds like da bomb!! Maybe just what the doctor ordered for you, Ren!
Ugh! Dots? In Middlesex? Say no more. Although we managed to find a nice top for K there last week, I don't really think that'll be on my radar much.
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Tia
Sorry to hear about your allergies and the tripping incident. just thik of the coffee as parfum! LOL
1. tomorrow is friday
2. all three kittens are doing well. they are a joy
3. i was able to cuddle w/ my one cat puff, who has a hard time getting to me cuz my dog is always harassing her. but he left her alone at least for awhile and we cuddled. she is so soft and sweet. love my puff
Coffee perfume, Nic?? EWWW!!! Especially since it had cream in it - I guess it would smell rancid after a day or so!! LOL!!!!
I'm glad your kitties are doing so well. KB and I were in Petsmart the other day and I felt SOOO bad for the up for adoption kitties. I'm not a kitty person, but I still wanted to take them all home!
Have a great day!
BTW - Sending you a PM because my email's still down!
Hugs,
Tia
Tia....sorry about your incident this morning.....those dang flippers will get ya everytime, especially when ya least expect to have an "accident".
Storms.....we had several roll through this part of the E'Shore. We live pretty close to Rock Hall & all that rolls off the Bay into the Shore, hits us. We sat here & watched the lightening strikes in the field & over the water......it was pretty amazing.
Allergies.......Ugghhhh!!!!! I am so sick of puffy & itchey eyes, runny noses, and constant sneezes!!!!! My whole household is victim to the allergy monster! So I agree.......wash the allergens away!
Today I am grateful for:
1} my daughter who couldnt sleep last night.....bless her <3 she cleaned the entire house!
2} Fresh Strawberries.....they have been my main source of nutrition for the last week!
3} That Saturday is alomost here! Graduation day for Lizzie!!!
Have a great day all~
