3 THINGS FOR WEDNESDAY!

Good morning!  What a difference a day makes!!!  I finally received an "apology" for being screamed at the other morning.  I say that in quotes because I was told, "I was having a bad day," which I didn't get at all, because the incident occurred at 8:15 a.m.!!!    I let it go, it's just not worth the drama in the office, so I said, "Thank you," and left it at that.  I NEVER forget and I don't forgive easily, especially not with half-hearted apologies, so you can bet I'll be on my guard even more from now on.  This isn't the first time this has happened, and after a while, apologies become meaningless, you know?

Anyway, today, I'm grateful for:

1.  That I was AGAIN able to resist the Evil Brownie Monster!!  I was cooking dinner at my brother's last night when I spied some leftover brownies in the fridge.  I quickly shut the door!  Then, after B was finished eating, I thought I'd give him a treat and warmed a brownie in the microwave for him.  After being told, "I like cold brownies!" I made my brother eat it so I couldn't!  Hey, whatever works!!  My scale seems to be pretty happy with the choices I've been making, too!!  Cross your fingers that it continues!!!

2.  Crystal Light Slurpees - I stopped and got a big one on the way home last night!  It was refreshing AND satisfied my sweet tooth!

3.  My sweet B - He just cracks me up!!  Of the two, he has a sense of humor similar to mine and is hilarious without even knowing it!!  We were talking about his upcoming birthday, which happens while we're at the beach, and I said, "B, I can't believe you're going to be 10 already!" and he said, dead serious, "I know!!  I can't believe it myself!  Sometimes, I have the energy of a 5 year old!"  I was no more good after that!!!

4.  It's pay day!  Thank you, Jesus!!!  I can treat myself to lunch, put gas in the car, and get my hair done!!  Life's good!

5.  Gary's first baby, Killian, got a good report at the vet's last night.  Her vet retired, so I took her to Happy's vet.  Despite all the afflictions associated with being 18 years old (88 human years),  the vet said he wished HE was in as good a shape as Kills!  She clearly has arthritis issues in her spine and hips, is deaf and has a slight heart murmur, but all in all, she's okay and can be safely boarded when we leave for the beach.  He also, thank God, didn't see the need to do a lot of unnecessary testing, and we left with "only" an $80 charge!!! 

So that's it, lots for which to be grateful today!!  And it's GORGEOUS weather - I can't believe it's July - so have a great day!

Hugs,

Tia

Morning!  Not much to say today - just tired!  LOL

Things I am grateful for are:

1. It's Wednesday - and it's pay day.
2.  I still have a bit of money left over paying the bills that were due this week.
3.  Looking forward to the next two evenings off starting tonight.
4.  I saw Diana last night  (aalidianne)- she looks great!  She looked sorta familiar to me - then she said breakfast in Columbia - I remembered her as the one that hadn't had the surgery at that time.  She's lost a bit of weight and you'll be able to tell when you see her!
5.  I'm off on Sunday - so I can go to Sandy Point for the company picnic if it's sunshiney.

Girl, I don't know HOW you do it!  I worked two jobs for almost 15 years, and I swear, I couldn't do it again!  I know WHY you're doing it, but HOW amazes me!!!

I was wondering about Dianne the other day - glad to hear she's doing well!  Seems she's forgotten us! WAH!

I HOPE it's sunshiney for you - you deserve a day off to enjoy!

Hugs,

T

It doesn't matter what kind of weather it'll be on Sunday - if it rains, I will be sleeping throughout the day.  SMILES - if it's sunshiney, I'll work on the skin cancer.....SMILES

HUGS right back atcha!

Good Morning all

Tia-  glad you got an appology finally!!!! I know what you mean about half hearted but at
least he must realize he was wrong
Hmmm Slurpee - I might have to try one on those.
Glad Killian got a good report!  I know how much Gary loves him

Today I am grateful for

1.  Again the light traffic this morning!  I just love it.

2.  That I have finally learned not to beat myself up when I miss the gym! I went home right after work and laid on the couch thinking I'd rest a while before the 7:00 class -  I woke up at 7:45 LOL as Debbie said I must have needed the rest.

3.  That  I get to see my oldest friend Sunday - her little boy turns 6 and I have been invited to a cookout to celebrate.

Have  a wonderful day everyone

 

 

Her - Killian's a her!!  LOL!!!  Oh, yeah, when she dies, I'm going to have to sedate my brother.  That's his very first baby!

Make SURE it's a Crystal Light Slurpee - the only flavor I've been able to find has been strawberry, but I hear there are other flavors.

I'm a firm believer in your body telling you when you need to slow down, as yours did last night.  Unfortunately, mine ALSO tells me I need brownies!!!  LOL!!!

BTW, I don't know if I told you, but Becki got a job!  She started on Monday, but I haven't spoken with her this week to see how she's liking it!  I know that's a load off of her mind.  She's still having issues with getting in more than one meal a day, but her doctor said it may just take time.

Hugs,

T

LOL My appologies to Killian

Glad Becki got a job!!!

And PLEASE stop the Brownie talk ;  I'm craving one now LOL

Tia, Glad you got an apology and its hard for me as well to forgive and forget. Its so hard to let go but I have been really trying to do just that.I am proud that you didn't give into the brownie monster as I adore Brownies and I love Vanilla frosting on them too. I sometimes like a scoop of ice cream on top. I know that's so bad. Kids are so funny by the stuff they say.. It cracks me up..Wow that amazing about the vet and that was a good price too. Glad all went well.

Today I am thankful for..

1) My Mom is a fighter. They had to put mittens on her hands as she did not want to leave the IV or heart monitor on. She pulled them out. They say she might have had a stroke and are now thinking about sending her to a rehab center for a while. I hate those places but if she needs it we have no choice.

2) Acupuncture today thank God I am stressed to the MAX..

3) Boy Steve my son did OK at summer school and I pray he passes these classes..

4) Packet for Dr. Li has been completed and I am going to make copies and send it on its way.

5) Thankful for this board where I can come to let things go..

 Have a good day all of you..

((( JULIE )))

Brownies, frosting and ice cream - OH MY!!!!  LOL!!!

Oh, your poor Mom!!!  I'm with you about the rehab centers, but you're right, if it helps, it might be the best place for her - and maybe you'll get some peace of mind, too for a bit.

Good girl!!  Glad you're making copies this time!  Keep us posted!

Julie,

I didn't know your Mom is in the hospital.  I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers for a swift recovery.
I am sorry that you are so stressed. Know that I am here for you if you need to talk.  (((((((((hugs))))))))

So you are looking to get surgery with Christina Li?  Did you go to her information session yet?
How is everything coming along for you?


Have a great day sweetie!
