****It's almost Friday...Thursday Roll Call*****
Good morning everyone and happy Thursday.
I am working from home today as I have noticed that I am pushing myself too hard and feeling the effects. I had to leave work at 3 yesterday, I was just way too exhausted.
Lucky though I can work from home.
I met with my Wednesday night group last night at Dunkin Doughnuts (of all places) for coffee and support talk. I joined a group of people who are 100+ pound winners and who are very inspirational. Everyone helps everyone else stay on track.
Aside from work today, I do have to straighten up today, my housekeeper is coming tomorrow and I don't want the place to be too dirty.
Well, that's it from here.
Make it a great day!!!

Good Morning Geoff, PA posters!
Nice to see you starting the thread this morning, you've jumped right in and that is a good thing, it will help you on this journey and I believe those who stay in support continue to do well, even after they've achieved what they began this journey to accomplish, which is a part of the reason Shauna coined to word "Successing". I remember pre-WLS surgery going out to eat with some further along WLS people and watching all the food ordered and how little got eaten, not to mention what some of them were eating. . .
Anyway, I am dressed, my food packed and ready for my roommate to be ready so I can drop her off at her job, then I'm heading down 295 to make my daily trek to Wilmington, where I will put in a good days work and tonight, hoping to meet up with a good friend of mine for some Japanese food before we go to our homegroup meeting of AA in Riverside.
That's it, hope all have a good day and prayers to those in need, positive thoughts for all and hugs, Laureen

Good Morning all......it's quiet here on Roll Call this morning.
Today is my friday. I have tomorrow off. I wor****il 4:30 then will head strait to my sister's house. We have a HUGE yard sale every year this weekend because she lives near the Apple Harvest Festival and we get lots of traffic.
So I am heading over to help set up and organize. Johnny and kids will meet me over there to help, eat and hang out a little.
Then home to relax. I will still be getting up as early tomorrow as I do on a wrok day, but somehow it's so much easier when it's not work you are getting up for. LOL
Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Geoff - I wholeheartedly agree with Laureen - jumping in here has helped me through so much - even if I don't necessariy post - I read everything and it sinks in! :) Keep it up!
Today is another crazy day - working until 3:15 with the lovely 8th graders - after school I am headed home to work with my 11 year old - I was out last night at my school's parent/teacher meeting and got home to find her crying and my husband at his wits end - yup - it is still September and whe already had her first homework melt-down. AHHHHH, just love homework time with a bi-polar child! UGH!
Then after dinner - I have my youngest's back-to-school night - but that is a walking trip and I only have one student in that school so I should get out of there rather quickly! After, I will get my 11 year old from girl-scouts and go home and play single parent for the next four days! Love my life! :)
Hope you all have a great day!

Morning Geoff! I like the title of your roll call! Yep, it IS almost Friday!
Today I go to work at LVH. Stayed up a little bit late last night and got up a little early this morning so I could take a nice long afternoon nap before my 7p shift tonight.
I really have just about NOTHING planned today. Thanks to getting the day off on Tuesday night, my lunches and what not are already packed (seeing as though I didn't need it on Tuesday night) Probably will hang with hubby for a few hours and then I think when I lay down for my nap he is headed to his parents house for the afternoon/evening.
That's it for me!

Good Morning Geoff & PA;
Today started off with the truck not starting. Hubby needed to leave the car home with me so I could drive to class tonight. I offered to take the truck to the shop to get a new battery but he didn't want me driving the truck yet. So he's off to the shop, going into work late after he realized how many meetings he has scheduled for today. Great start to the day - not.....
I still have to complete my paper for class tonight so when the truck didn't start my stress level went up. My new pouch didn't seem to like the water I was drinking as I started stressing about getting the paper done or sitting at the shop waiting for the truck to get a new battery. Gene just said "welcome to my world" when I told him I had a tummy ache.
I'm determined that next weeks paper will be done prior to the day of class
So today, I'm planning to complete my readings for tonight, complete my paper, and go to class. I'm hoping to have the paper completed by noon so I can get out for my walk.
Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!

Hello everyone hope you have a great day.
I am at work today then I hope to go do a cardio box class tonight with a friend. I have so many chores, errands, paper work for my practice etc to do my head is spinning. I am hoping to get a few things completed so I have less this weekend.
I agree with everyone that support is so important engage and it will be helpful

Morning everyone - I am off today to take my mom to the oncologist to get the results of her latest pet scan - this may be a very stressful appt for her as we have no idea what to expect. When she was in the hospital a cat scan showed that the chemo had shrunk one large lymph node under her arm, but she's extremely tired lately and coughing terribly, so we don't know if the chemo helped anything else. She has pretty much decided against any more treatments, but that could change depending on the results we hear today.
Planning on going to Curves this afternoon and thats about it for my day. Hope everyone has a great day.

Morning, Everyone!
Geoff, you're really rockin' the tool - good for you! I do have to mention, though, that a WLS support group meeting in a Dunkin Donuts sounds like an AA meeting in a bar. Sounds dangerous to me! But maybe it's about bearding the lion in its den or something.
This is a perpetually running late kinda day... was late getting up, late getting to the gym, late to work... just kinda snowballs. Hopefully I'm on track now, though!
Basically, just have work today (meetings and interviews all day), then home. Hopefully Eddie will be feeling a bit less depressed today and will get out of bed and DO something (which may help him feel better). And I hope that Katie will be coming home for the weekend today or tomorrow.
