***Wonderful Wednesday Roll Call***
Good Morning All,
Pam when my daughter gets that call we all do the "Happy Dance". Liz I hope you are able to get some rest and feel better soon. I am drinking my Click in my coffee, and have decided today is the first day of the rest of my life. Plan to start documenting my food and drink intake, and start walking, making sure I take all my meds and vitamins in a timely matter. Still packing up the contents of the house, buyer made a bid way to low, so I have some time yet just need to get as much done before surgery as I can. Ordered my food scale this morning and am going to go on ebay or amazon to try and locate a book that Karen recommended. Maybe try and scout out a therapist with WLS knowledge. Have a Good and Safe Day everyone.

Pam,
Congrats on the unexpected time off! And good luck with the lease - those things can be stressful so I hope it works out ok for you. Please give Lisa and Siehara a big hug from me when you see them.
Went to the gym this morning for a nice, relaxed workout. I had taken today off for jewelry stuff, but my friend Mary is REALLY in need of a day out, so we're heading to KOP for some retail therapy - Nordstrom Rack, here we come! She's still having a really rough time coping with Chip's death and needs some distraction really badly - can't get it on the weekend because she's focused on her kids, so while they're in school is the best time to get out.
Hubby's going through a very, very rough patch with his depression, not surprisingly as an after-effect of losing his job. We've been trying to work through it, but it's bad, which also has me down. While I understand "clinically" what's going on, it's hard not to get mad at him for some of the ways in which the disease manifests - literally sleeping all day, binge drinking, nasty moods, looking at everything and trying to find the worst possible interpretation. It's exhausting to live with! Last night was bad, but I finally got him to agree to call his therapist today and tell her that he needs to see her urgently. It's been weeks since he's been (another symptom), and that's not good when he's like this. Please send positive energy our way, we need it right now.
Have a great day, folks.

Karen,
I've been in close situations like that with Brian. I do hope he calls his therapist and is able to work through this quickly and is back to his normal self.
Hugs and prayers to you both! It's not an easy road to travel down!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Good morning Pam and everyone!
I didn't know it was supposed to rain today - I guess this is what happens when one doesn't have ANY interest in the news! :)
Anyway - today has me at school until 3:15 for sure - not sure about the afternoon, I may hang out at school with some colleagues - we have our back-to-school night tonight so I need to be back here at 6:15 anyway. I told my family not to expect me - so we shall see what I decide to do later.
Then tonight with any luck, we will actually have SOME parents who want to see what their child's education is about......anyway - that is my day - Hubby is home tonight, so at least there is that to look forward to, he is then working the next four nights! OY! I don't think I signed up to be a married single mom......:)
Have a good day all! :)

Another day of enforced vacation. I am still not allowed to do anything but breath. LOL The good thing is I am starting to get some vision back in the eye that was damaged. It is blurry and it looks like I have a water bubble in the bottom of it. The doc said this is normal and should pass in a week or so. I am trying to walk around the house a little to keep moving until I can excercise again. Have a great day everyone.
