Saturday Roll Call

Good Morning all!! I am feeling much better today (obviously since I am up before the sun). Just got Chris off to work now I am going to get ready and meet my Grandmother at Lowe's around 7:30-8am. She has been wanting to get us a tree as a house warming gift since we moved in last year but it hasn't worked out and well she can't fit it in her car - so we are going to hopefully get that today. Then I am going to come home and do some yard work - supposed to be a gorgeous day!

Don't forget to sunblock up and keep hydrated!

Good morning!! I have been up since 5am and just got out of the shower and relaxing in front of my laptop..thinking about my upcoming surgery. I have 26 days til Pats in Langhorne, PA. I have one demon fighting me right now and that is my nasty smoking habit!!! I am trying so hard to quit smoking but one thing I have slow downed on my smoking and I am down to 2 cigs a day!! Today is my day that I do not want to have anymore!!!! I am praying to god that I am still safe that I will pass my Pats on May 21st and my surgeon will still do my surgery June 3. I know you are suppose to be six weeks clean..and well actually it will be about six weeks til my surgery or five weeks. Does anyone know what I should do? Should I change my surgery date so that I am for sure that I will pass Pats and everything and be able to not have to travel again if I fail. I live 3 hours away and I really do not want to fail my Pats and then have to go again...so I am not sure what anyone else thinks but if anyone has an answer on when they quit smoking before their Pats and if they passed their appt or not?>!?!?

Good Morning PA!! 
Well I am so glad it is Saturday!  I had the week from hell and it took a toll on me but I willpost about that in another thread!!

As for me I am watching the sun rise and sipping coffee and looking forward to a beautiful day.  We are going to buy a lwanmower and do the grass and all the yard work today.  Then we will clean out the car and I will do laundry and hang it all up on the line(I love doing that!!)

That is pretty much my day of domestic housekeeping activities.

Have a terrific awesome beautiful day!!!

Much luv!

I've been up since 0630.   Took my blood sugar and then my synthroid.  Sipping on Propel water right now.  It's been going down ok and I still like the flavor of it.  It's really NOT that easy to get all your fluids in!  I'm 5 days post-op today.  It's gonna be a beautiful day in my neck of the woods so maybe, I'll go out on our sun porch for a little while and take in some fresh air.

Have a good day everyone!

Morning Liz and Pa.  Glad you are feeling better today..It's going to be a great weekend!!

Queen Dee, I don' t have info on you regarding being "clean" before your PATS, but I did want to congratulate you on taking the steps to quit.  I quit about 4 years ago and I am so happy I was able to do it!

Today has me going to synagogue in the morning.  Then, this afternoon I think I am going to take Siehara for a walk.  There is a walking trail near the apartments that I've been wanting to check out and today will be the perfect day for it!!   After that, I am just going to relax and may take a nap because tonight is karaoke!! I can't wait to get out for the first time since my separation/move!!!! WOO HOO!! I always have fun at karaoke, but it will be different this time since there is nobody waiting at home for me! LOL!  Anyone who is close want to come with me?! Seriously.. I can bring guests into the bar/club and it's cheap to drink if you are a drinker.
I know it's going to be a late night, too, because my babysitter is the daughter of the bartender where I am going.  She probably won't come to pick her up until at least 4 AM because the bar closes around 3 and she still has to clean up. 

Unfortunately, that means that tomorrow will be a LOT of sleeping trying to catch up.  I'll try not to do that though because it's going to be another great weather day.  

Have fun everyone..

well, I got up and made us stuffed french toast that is baked... made some changes to it and made it more protein based (it is stuffed with cream cheese)... Lore loved it...

So, after getting some laundry going, I think I'm going to crash a little on the couch and then get dressed (still in pjs lol) and take Lore to chuck e cheese and while Jeremy and her are there I am going to run to the reading expo center for a kids consignment sale... after 2pm everything is 50% off... need to find some baby girl winter stuff... and look for a double jogging stroller...

I also got some chicken going in the crockpot... going to see if I can make it a nice shredded bbq chicken...

oh yeah I need to get the oil changed in the car and get the propane tank filled... ok... going to nap on the couch now lol...

my first "roll call" ... haha!

First full day home from the hospital after half a gastric bypass (see other thread "limbo").  Physically feeling pretty good, albeit tired.  Mentally rough morning, but am forcing myself through it.  Had a good protein shake this morning (love the Magic Bullet blender!) and a nice walk... shorter than I thought, but i did what I could until I felt shaky.  Now am resting in the recliner with my laptop kitty and my laptop catching up on emails.  I hope to get out in the yard later and take advantage of the gorgeous weather!  This time i'll remember the sunblock (forgot it last weekend and got a horrible sunburn! still peeling!).

Morning everyone! 

I was out way too late last night having girls night with co-workers.....I love wine, but it always makes me fell like crap the next morning...I didn't even drink that much of it!!  Tucker had me up before the sun this morning....he was trying to climb into bed with me.  The last thing I wanted in my bed this morning was a big, 200 pound, hairy, drooling, heavy breathing boy!! LOL  I was out the door at 8:45, got some things done and now I am getting ready to head out to Tuckers Bark for Life walk.  I am hoping the heat isnt too bad for his sake.  I may have to let him go swimming in the lake to cool off!  Later, I have a bbq to go to and I may actually hit the gym later tonight. 

Oh, and my big exciting news for the week.....I have graduated from that aweful surgical bra to a sports bra   I would be doing this---->but it still hurts to bounce the boobies
