3 THINGS FOR TUESDAY

HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY!!!!  So, what'll it be - 6 more weeks of winter or an early spring?  From what the "pros" are saying, I'd venture to guess it'll be more winter!  UGH!  You know, something I've noticed - when cold medicine capsules say, "Fold and peel," they mean, "Fold and peel - and then use knife, poultry shears or jackhammer to free pills from plastic bubble!"  Sheesh!!  I'm still not feeling up to par, so I'm heading back to bed after this!

Today, I'm grateful for:

1.  That I have the available time off when I need it.  Much as I complain about my job, I AM lucky!

2.  Cold/flu foods - S/f popsicles were my friends yesterday as was hot & sour soup.

3.  Puffs Plus tissues - OM!!  I hate to think what my poor nose would look like without these!

Have a great day!

Morning T!.  Sorry you're still feeling so awful, hopefully you can turn the corner today.  Yep, 6 more weeks of winter. BLAH!!!!  Puffs Plus became my best friend after sinus surgery. You won't find anything else in my house now, no matter the cost.

Today, I'm grateful for:

1.  My bed. When I first had surgery I could not sleep in bed, it was just too painful. I've been back in bed a couple nights now and it's wonderful.

2.  That my Short Term Disability claim was straightened out.  I now have a return to work date of 2/15 instead of 2/1. There was no way I was ready to go back to work yesterday.

3.  My dear, dear loser friends who help keep me sane when I'm having a "what did I do to myself" day.  I love you all!!!

Awwww...feel better!  I thought I was coming down with a cold last week - right after I got the H1N1 vaccine, but it turns out I was having a horrible attack of sinusitis.  Yay for benedryl.

Ang - MUAH - we all have our up and down days.  Last night, I had a cup of SF hot chocolate before bed...guess whose pouch doesn't like it?  Yep.  I was begging anyone would would listen (which apparently was just the dog, and I'm sure all she heard was "blah blah blah...owwww....blah blah blah owwww....").  It's all worth it girlfriend.

Today, I'm greatful for:

1.  I'm 12 weeks out today and down exactly 50 pounds from my surgery date and 67 pounds total.  Before surgery, it took me 6 months to lose 17 pounds...now I'm losing on average 17 pounds a month.  My diabetes is in remission.  I'm off blood pressure meds.  I am amazed.

2.  My friends...you guys rawk.  And my bestie's hubby is home from the hospital with no more pain...his brain surgery was a success last Friday and he was home by Monday. 

3. My husband...he's the best.

4.  My family - my sister's birthday is today!  Happy birthday to the bestest big sissy in the world!

Hard to think of things to be grateful for in this weather, I swear but thankfully, I got some.

1. Found a nice family with a 2 yr old and another on the way to rent mom and dad's place in Elkridge. We got back from India to find the garage door wide open and back door unlatched, so I'll feel a lot better when there are people living in there.

2. My health. I hope all of you who aren't feeling well get better as soon as possible!

3. Friends who are willing to do a 5K run/walk with me for my birthday :) June 27th Baltimore Women's Challenge 5K; haven't even started training or gone back to the gym since almost my accident in June last year. Going back today and we'll see what happens.

Boy, Tia!  You sure have had your run of crap happening to you this winter!  You deserve one heck of an awesome Spring!  Feel better!

Terri

UGH!!!  So sowwy you're still not feeling well!  Fluids, fluids, fluids!!!!  Take care of yourself!

Today, I'm grateful...

1.  For finally getting to the grocery store yesterday.  It had been a while and we were out of many, many things!  I love being fully stocked!

2.  For all my friends....you all are the BESTEST EVER!!!

3.  My furbabies...as always, for keeping me warm, sane, and laughing!

Have a great day all!
