Joe and i have been out writing down serial numbers off of his tool and then taking a engraving tool and putting his name on them too. There is someone in the Forsyth , Kissee Mills, Cedar creek area that is stealingl tools and trailers etc. so we are doing something about it ...if they steal our we will have a list and all that , can be identified at pawn shops etc. Shame that people think they have to steal things away from people that work hard to get what they have.
This one man that has a tire shop in Kissee Mills they broke in and stole about 20,000.00 worth of stuff and he said he didnt have insurance on the tools cause he could barely afford the insurance on the building and libility on people being in the building that might get hurt. This country is insurance us to death too....We are trying to find a way that we can eliminate a lot of our insurance. ...have to carry it on the house since we owe a small amount on it yet....and of course the truck and trike, cant lic them if you dont have insurance. they know that too....we could save a lot of money if we didnt have to insure things. just awful and ours isnt as bad as a lot of peoples .....

well got to get up and get busy again this morning. have to go to work in a while.....worked in the yard all day yesterday....used the leaf blower all sorts of places and now my muscle in my right upper arm is as sore as a boil lol ....said i will have to hold it in the other hand next time. and them maybe walk backwards so that up and down motion will work the muscles in the back of this flabby arm lol

I have started doing my little weights again too....since i know it is going to be cold soon and i wont be getting outside as much ....dont want to gain a bunch all winter. but then hopefully we wont be here for winter this year.

got to go it is already 11:30 and i have to leave here by 1Pm or i am late getting to work.....love you all
you should see all my mums.....white, purple , lavender, yellow , bronze, red with yellow centers, pink and red and dark red and sort of a orange with lighter tips on the petals....they are sure pretty...

The weather is great!  Wish I could say the same for my life.  I've not been here because of personal problems.  The last 2 weeks I've been on stress overload.  My son has been at my house and although he was told no drinking, he did anyway.  He was supposed to look for a job but that never happened.   I made numerous phone calls to find help for him, but he would not call them.  I finally realized Friday he doesn't want help so there's nothing I can do. 

His GF was picking him up Friday evening.  Just before she got there he downed a pint of Vodka and was passed out.  I called 911 because he was passed out on my front porch.  Talk about embarassing!!  He agreed to go to the hospital and was transported by ambulance.  They kept him overnight and offered him a 30 day program, but he refused.  She took away his debit card so he has no access to money.  He went thru withdrawals and was feeling much better last night. 

I may seek counseling for me.  I'm so discouraged.  My faith in God is wavering.  Praying for over 5 years for my son and nothing changes. 

Hey so you have lost 75 pounds in a month? good grief girl how much faster do you want to lose it lol

are you using protein drinks? you cant get in the amount of protein you need without taking part of it in the form of protein drinks......if you like coffee you can make a nice flavored cappachio that furnishes part of your protein .....im 4 years out and i still have to do one to two protein drinks a day to get enough protein in. ....im glad you are doing well ....keep us informed and if you want to know anything im sure there are some here that can tell you ...

sorry i didnt post yesterday or this morning , i worked a shift and a half yesterday and today i have been out side in this beautiful weather playing with my leaf blower lol ....we have these huge oak and maple trees in this one area and if we dont get the leaves up as they fall more or less they get so thick and wet and packed that you cant even burn them ..so we are trying to keep ahead of them....lord you should see the acorns under the oak trees. they are just thick. the deer should have plenty to eat this year ....

Joe is heating up the grill right now to cook him self a steak , Im going to have some grilled veggies and maybe a piece of fish....have some bananas that i need to make some bread out of i think....may just peel them and put them in the freezer till i have more time,. works good to do that.
I have been cooking the sweet potatoes and peeling them and freezing them in small portions.

well dont have a lot more to say, been busy working and then working in the yard when im not working lol ....

arent the leaves pretty this year. i love this time of year but i sure am not looking forward to what is going to come later. the oldy thing i am looking forward to is leaving here this winter.

hope to get my knee dont again before we leave but may not. who knows....

will talk to you all again soon. 

I had Lap RNY by Dr. Scott this past Tuesday, Oct. 13. The entire process could not have gone any better. I had no real pain, a little discomfort perhaps due to gas. Was up walking as soon as the nurse told me I could. The DePaul Hospital staff are outstanding, never a problem. I was released Thursday of this week and I feel great other than a little overall lack of energy.

I hope you have the same experience I have had with my surgery.
