TGIF Roll Call

Good morning!  Nothing exciting planned for today.  Work and the gym.  I havent been to the gym all week, but I did get to karate twice and will be going again tomorrow.  I have an appointment with Dr. Herman on Tuesday so I am working on getting buff over the weekend so I don't need so much work done (yeah...I am kidding ...I am ALREADY buff....ok, now I am really cracking myself up ).  

Hope everyone has a good day!  I am continuing to send special prayers for Dillinger!!

You're already so buff Dr. Herman might think you are there to pose for "after pictures"!

  You crack me up too. . .  and Dillinger sends you a big sloppy

Thanks Heather. . .

Hugs, Laureen

Good Morning Laureen,
You sound mighty chipper this morning.  How is Dillinger today?  Glad to hear his surgery went well.

I slept in a little today.  Pain meds and exhaustion have that effect on me.  Today, I will be able to drive at lunch time, providing I don't take my painkiller.  I hope to get me to a meeting, and then an appointment at a doctor.  I also must get to the bank and deposit my check, as my direct deposit will not go into effect until April.  Tonight, if I am up to it, I will visit my knitting group for a little while.  

I hope everyone has a great day.

Hugs,
Trish

Hi Trish,

I am a whole lot better today then yesterday, seeing Dillinger made all the difference, it helped allay my fears that I had put him through something because it was what I wanted for him, but his reaction to me, as well as the vet's stating so, made me feel better that I made the right choice and that is why I am indeed chipper today, plus a few hours of real sleep does wonders!

Thanks and take care, hugs, Laureen

That is so good to hear, Laureen.  It is so difficult to make the best decisions for our 4 legged children.  I hope he continues to improve, and you and he enjoy more days together. 

Also, you are definitely right.  Sleep is sometimes exactly what the doctor ordered.  Remember HALT.  I can usually keep the H, A, and L in control, but I always push the T too far.

Have a good day.

Hugs,
Trish

Im still not feeling well. I ended up at the Dr's and I have a UTI and Kidney infection. LOvely!! Last time i had a UTI. I found out i was preggo with my son. ( Im hoping history does not repeat itself) SO im on Bactrum, and Vicodin. Im convinced my doctor loves me!! LOL

Besides the pain. Im so happy right now. Im in a whirlwind of events. Moving, the kids reactions, marrying the most amazing man in the next week!! The  article came out today. Its online without pics. But if your from the area its in the Pottsville Republican!!

nice article Tanya... you're a local celebrity!!

Hope you feel better quickly and I liked the article and how it played up the importance of support and lifestyle change.

Have a great weekend.

Okay - where did this latest artic blast come from?? I came out of a store last night and thought the wind was going to whip ME across the parking lot!! And this morning at the gas station wasn't any better - don't know about the rest of you guys but I am OVER this whole winter thing.

That being said it is Friday - I am at work - it was treat day for me - stopped at Micky D's for a SF Vanilla Iced Coffee and burrito.

Today I'm treating my co-workers to a pizza lunch to celebrate my one year surgiversary - a little over a year ago I treated them to pizza when I told them I was going to be having WLS - I was very nervous because most of my co-workers are men and I wasn't sure how they would react, but my boss (a woman) told them up front 'no jokes or smart remarks' before I spilled my guts. To my surprise they were all so encouraging and inquisitive, wanting to know what would happen and how, and over the past year they have been so thoughtful and understanding, so I feel they deserve this little celebration.

Tonight I'll be busy baking a sf cake to take to my bff's house this weekend to celebrate her birthday - I even made sf chocolate seashell candy for her beach house - she's doing South Beach with her hubby so they can't have sugar either - works for all of us!

Hope everyone has a good weekend - I'll be out of pocket but back in the saddle on Monday.
