Good Morning Pam and PA,

I hope everything goes well with Brian's appointment today.  Seems like he has been struggling with this all summer!  Poor guy.

Today I am going into school to finish setting up my classroom, going to the gym and calling Dr. Brader with an update on my port issue.  Nothing exciting but I like my dull, drama free life.

Revision from lapband to RNY 12/26/17 with Dr. Caitlin Halbert

Thanks, Beth!

It took a turn for the worse about 4 weeks back...and truth be told...he hasn't taken care of his mouth for literally decades, and had the decay to show that.  But due to his phobia of the dentist, refused to get anything done.  However, when teeth begin to break off and expose nerves...real pain sets in and it NEEDS to be taken care of.  I do feel for him - but at the same time - it's a "you reap what you sow" type of moment.

This will continue on throughout the rest of the summer.  I know he needs a minimum of 4-5 more appointments AFTER this one.  Luckily only two of them are 'serious' meaning oral surgery with IV sedation and then a root canal/crown etc.  These other ones are "basic" fillings....just a whole lot of them and needs the meds......

Good luck with Dr. Brader and the update!

I started in early this morning cleaning by bookcases. One of those projects where it gets worse before it bets better.

Now...working...and will exercise this afternoon.

This evening hope to round up hubby for another house project - putting up new valances in the bedroom and putting new bedding on the bed. This is the 3rd set of bedding (comforter, shams, etc.) that I have bought...and I think this is the right one!

Good Morning Losers...

Wasn't feeling great yesterday, so I promptly went to bed at 4:30 PM and woke up this morning at 6 AM!  I guess I needed it.

Today is my Friday, I get one Friday off a month, that always comes at the right time.

Lost another pound, slowly but sure wins the race!

I am down 46 pounds now.  It's amazing how it feels.  I lost a small child, LOL!

Have a good one!

Good morning !!!!

Well I slept in laaaate today!!!! I can't believe it was 8:30 am when I woke up..but I guess with everything that has been going on I needed the extra sleep!

Pam--Hope all goes well with Brian at the dentist!!! He is lucky to have you to nurse him back to health afterwards!!!

As for me..quiet day today.  I will just be puttering around the house..doing some laundry and finishing my book.

 Making some phone calls...I have got to switch doctor's from my Philly one to one up here in Pottstown..but I am reluctant to because I really do like my primary care physician..sigh...but it is not always feasible or possible to drive into Philly for appointments.  I also need to switch my ob/gyn to one up here...and that I am happier to do as she was the one who so bluntly told me two years ago "You are too fat to have a baby..that is why you can't concieve."  Not exactly the kind of bedside manner I was looking for...sigh...So making phone calls looking for new docs int he area...

Then I have to call my school and make sure someone will be there tomorrow as I will be driving down to get my class list and check and make sure the room has been cleaned and painted so I can begin setting up...

Other than that it will be a quiet day for me!!!!

Hope everyone enjoys their day!!!

Much luv!!
Laura

Good Morning Pam & PA,
Today has me back to work. Piles of work sitting on my desk as well as in my many in boxes. UUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I just want to go back home a crawl into bed.

Still not feeling 100% myself yet. This sinus thing has really kicked me in the butt and with my sugars running so high, my body is not fighting as well as it used to.

Tonight I have class after wor****il 10pm. Long day ahead.....

Good morning Pam and everyone in PA!  Just getting my day started - All youteachers are making me look bad - SO NOT ready to get back into the classroom yet!  (Plus, we are not allowed in for another two weeks - so I am just going to simply NOT think about it!) :)

Today has the organizers coming over again, this time some work in our loft area above the garage to make room for storage - I think.  Then this afternoon, I will be pickingmy brain with the Rabbi talking about our Fall curriculum for the tenth graders about Israel.  Then tonight out with some new great friends for dinner.  We are thinking Hibachi. Still not set in stone.

That is my busy day.  Did not get to the pool this morning as I slept until 9 and the organizers will be here at 10.  We will see what the afternoon holds between the Rabbi and dinner.

Hope you all have a great day!  Pam - lots of luck with Brian today.  "drugs are good" :)
