Monday Roll Call!
Good morning PA! (or should I say goodnight?)
I couldn't sleep, so I'm up. Not sure if any sleep is in the near future - so I thought I'd start this morning's thread nice and early.
Today is my husband's 28th birthday. He's not big on making a big deal out of birthdays, but I kind of am - so we usually meet in the middle. Tonight I'm going to make this new Asian Pork Tenderloin recipe I found and his favorite cookies - White chocolate Macadamia Nut. He's also been working really hard at dropping the lbs (he's down 16 in the last 3 months) that I might try and alter the recipe as much as I can to make it healthier. Then again, it is his birthday... maybe he'll want the real deal. Guess I'll just have to ask when he gets up!
I actually have the day off for 4 doctor's appointments... yep 4! I try and stack them all on one day so I can be out of the office and knock them all out at once. Today I'm excited that I'll be finishing up my final pre-op Nut Appt, pre-op Exercise appt, meeting with Dr. B's nurse for an hour to go over everything and then a final follow up visit at my family doc's office. I told a few people the other night - but just an update for everyone, I got my date! I'm scheduled for Jan 5th!!!! I plan to write a blog post about how I'm feeling about everything in the next few days --- I'm still processing =)
Have a great day everyone!

Good morning! I'm up early and have a couple of priorities for work to tackle early in the day. Hubby will be home about noon to go to a dr. appt. (one he's been putting off forever), and I may go with him.
Then...wrap up work, take in an exercise class (looking at today's options, it will probably be strength training), and finish decorating the tree. Of course, once that is done I will have to vacuum and stash all the boxes in the garage. Yesterday when we got everything out, I realized that I have some decorations that haven't been quite "right" for the last few years, so I may sort those out and see if they can be passed along to someone else, or if it's time to send them to Goodwill. We downsized our house a few years back, and I am still working out the details of "too much stuff" in certain areas.
Hope everyone's week is off to a good start!

GOod Morning all. GOod luck with all the appts today Melissa and Happy B-day to hubby! Congrats on getting your date!
WEll I am at work early this morning - we are up against 2 MAJOR deadlines and both seem unreachable at this point. Today is going to be chaos in every sense of the word. I am out of here at 4 though to get my flu shot then home to crash.
Have a good day all!

OH Monday Monday..
Working 5-3:30 ish
gym
sisterhood meeting
Had a great weekend. Saturday at Barix, yesterday spent at home all day.. wrapped presents, watched movies and played card games with Siehara.
Woke up this morning to IM's from my "friend". He is very stressed out and is having financial issues. He is almost positive that he is going to go to Florida and stay with his brother for awhile. I was not really looking for a relationship with him, yet. But, I am sad that he most likely will be moving away. He said that I mean a lot to him, but since I am not looking for the same thing as he is, that it is better this way. He is probably right, but it still doesn't feel good. I do care about him, but am afraid to jump into another relationship that I am not sure about. There are too many other things going on in my life right now for me to deal with the stress of a relationship. I have decided that I need to be strong in this and not give in just because I don't want him to leave. So needless to say, my Monday is not starting out good. BUT, I'm going to just use this as a learning experience and try to move on from it. Hopefully, we'll keep in touch while he's down there. But, if we don't, then I'll know it was the right thing for me to do.
Hope everyone has a good day today

Good Morning all...........
I am actually happy this morning. I am excited to get to the other office and work. I have one of my favorite patients today. And.....this is my last week to be with Dr. A. next week is my last week as a full time employee but he is on vacation. So this is our last week together. Bittersweet for sure. As we get along so good, and he is not looking forward to me leaving. Although he is the one who encouraged me to follow through with school, going full time and focusing on school.
After work, I will head home, study a little more before class tonight, eat dinner and head to class. After that, home to search the internet with Johnny's sister on some schooling options for her. She is thinking of going for her LPN at the age of 56. I am so excited for her but she is nervous. So I want to help her find schooling options and encourage her to go for it. She's been so supportive of me, I'd like to return the favor.
Then bed! I am just truly exhausted these days and I hope to hear from my hematologist today or tomorrow about getting some Iron Infusions to get my levels back up.
Have a great day everyone.

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Good Morning everyone -
I was up too early this morning. Last night was my first night in my new home. Not that I haven't slept there before, but now it's permanent. SO kept stealing the covers and I was freezing. We'll have to do something about that....brrrr....
SO and I moved the majority of what was left of my stuff up to his house yesterday. I have some boxes left yet at my apartment and I have to pack up the daily needs type things that I had left unpacked (bathroom, kitchen stuff, etc.) Then the big job of cleaning will come next weekend. I'll be happy to turn in the keys and be done with the place.
What I thought would be the biggest stress factor yesterday turned out not to be too bad. Moving my kitty to her new home. It took several tries to get her into the carrier and then she cried the whole way. She doesn't like going in the car anyway, let alone moving. She and I have moved many times, so she ought to be used to it by now. Fortunately, she moved right and in made herself at home. It's funny - I was more concerned about her comfort and stress level than I was my own. SO things I'm crazy.....but he loves little Peanut too, so he let me do my own little crazy cat lady stuff.
Today has me a work til 3:30. After that, I'll stop off for a few errands, stop at my apartment to pick up some more stuff and then head home to make dinner.
Hope everyone has a super day.

Lisa,
I have one of those cover thieves too! I have a king size blanket on the bed and always make sure it's hanging more on my side. That way when he steals it, I have a chance of still having some blanket over me. I also put a throw blanket on my side of the bed. Lately, it's gotten better. Because I'm always cold now, I put an extra throw or 2 on my side. He gets too hot and pushes the covers off, so they end up back over me. It's working so far!
Good luck! Gets to be quite a battle over the blankets at night!!!
