Thursday Roll Call
Morning Darling! And the rest of you fine PA folks!
I've been up for about 1 1/2 hours already...I woke up early and made myself get out of bed so that I can take a nap later today.
Been working on some stuff that needed to get done, mundane lists and what not.
Have to pack up some food for work
I *may* treat myself to a pedi today. Not sure if I want to brave the cold or not...
Also need to call my doctor and the pharmacy AGAIN....apparently there was some sort of mix up...and I drove to Allentown yesterday to pick up my scripts only to find they weren't called in....
Other than that...chilling before work tonight back at Cedar Crest

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses. 
Hi Liz & everyone !
Same ole' thing for me today. Work til 3:30 and then I'll hit the gym for cardio only (thank goodness). I need a break after 3 days in a row of weights.
I also need to hit the grocery store on the way home. We are out of a few staples.
That's it for me today.
Have a great day !!

Liz I wonder if you car can find its way home sounds like you go back and forth only kidding . Pam get your tushie out today and treat those toes to a ped you will feel better. Nothing gets inbetween a girl and her beauty. I am looking outside from my home office and seeing snow and am wondering if it will ever go away. I am so tired of it! I have physical therapy this morning and back on the computer job hunting. Stay warm everyone and have a great day!
Well the only thing that came between this girl and her beauty was her fleece pajamas and home made afghan...I was to comfy to go out before work....lol
Oh - and the other thing that comes between me and my beauty - is lack of funds for Dr. Herman, LOL

Hi Liz and everyone! I am in my classroom pondering the math of the day....OY!
Working until 3:15, heading home to do the homework dance then tonight I have my annual OB-GYN appointment that was rescheduled from last week. After that I head right to one of my Israel meetings. As much as I LOVED the trip and really like these people, I will be VERY glad when this program is over. One less thing to worry about!
Last night was, as expected, AMAZING at Barix. Thanks Karen for putting into your words soooo eloquently as usual and helping me along the way, the way I was feeling. I now feel a LARGE (No pun intended) burden was lifted and I am starting my day with a refreshed outlook on how to move forward for the next few weeks at least. No scale for me for atleast a month. (or maybe longer...)
I hope you all have a nice Thursday. :)

Steffi,
My pleasure - I had really hesitated about whether to bring it up because I feel like I should just be grateful for what I've achieved so far and not complain about this last relatively little bit... but I also know that it's "getting to me" mentally, so figured I should just blurt it out. I'm glad I did - the burden does seem much lighter this morning, not only because of the good advice we got, but also because of knowing that I'm not alone in feeling this way. So thanks to you, too!

Morning all - Liz, I'm like you - same old drill - work. But glad I have a good job so I don't complain about coming in. Commute could be shorter but I've gotten used to it after all these years - I think you and I have about the same length commute.
Went to the hospital on the way home last night to see mom - she was not having a good day - her breathing was terrible last night and I could tell she wasn't feeling well. I helped get her dinner together and she ate a little of it but not much, then she chased me out because she wanted to get back into bed. Her roommate of the other day was a lovely woman with 7 kids (well, OLD kids - LOL!) who visited a lot and were very chatty so she hadn't gotten a lot of rest. When I got there she didn't have a roommate but they were bringing one in, so I think she wanted to be back in bed and resting by then.
I'll be calling the pulminary doctor this morning to find out what's going on - the one disadvantage of only going out at night is that no doctors are around to talk to and my mom forgets a lot of what she's been told during the day - plus by then the nurses have changed shifts so they didn't see the doctors either.
The concensus of my siblings and I are no more chemo treatments - they just tear her body down too much and she can't handle it. We want her to get back to feeling decent, then get her to Florida for a few months. So we'll see how that all goes.
Hope everyone has a great day - Kathy

'One shoe can change your life'...Cinderella
Kathy - you are right, the commute does stink. I drive 35 miles and it takes me about 50 minutes on the way in and 80 minutes on the way home at night. Luckily I work a different shift then most people ( 7-4) so there is slightly less traffic out there. 611 is a mess though - lots of lights.
Sorry to hear that your Mom had a rough day. I hope that today is better and you can get some info from the Drs. Thoughts and prayers for you both!
