** Thoughtful Thursday roll call **
Well - it is midnight and officially Thursday and seeing as though I missed you all today - stupid computer issues here at camp - I would get the ball rolling!
Once I wake up - which will sadly be not that long from now as I have not been sleeping real long these days - I will have breakfast here - see my other post for reasons as to why I am NOT eating in the dining hall. Will then head over to pick up the little people and take them to begin their day. We have dancing and Israel projects and arts and crafts and swimming for the day. I am looking forward to another happy day with the kids. Today was nice - it went VERY smoothly. Not bad for 9 kids under the age of 5! They all went to their parents with a smile on their faces and with any luck a VERY sleepy evening!
After I am done with the kids for the regular part of the day - I will be babysitting the 17 month old while his mom is working with her campers later in the evening. He will be asleep - so rest assured I will be on the computer trying to keep myself busy.
That is all I have planned for Thursday. I am hoping for another perfect weather day like today. I was even walking around camp tonight talking with a friend and was so enjoying the stars and the clear skies and the comfortable temperature!
Hope your Thursday is terrific! :)

Morning Steffi & PA:
Getting ready for work. I have to stop at the gas station on my way in, so had to be up on time this morning.
I stopped a AAA yesterday to pick up the maps for our adventure that will start tomorrow morning.
Brought the Harley backpack/suitcase that attaches to the bike down last night and started getting stuff ready that needs to be packed. Will be taking off for Maine & New Brusnwick Canada.
As for the rest of the day, work till 4, hoping to stop at the gym or at least get on the treadmill. Last night was shot as far as exercise went. I had to meet a friend who was coming over the house to do something for Gene - so I didn't get to the gym. Then was on the phone all night - pleasent unexpected phone calls and conversations, but did not get on the treadmill due to these calls.
Tonight I might have to run over to Jersey to see my oldest daughter right after work. We'll see how that shapes up as this day progresses. Then home to get my stuff organized and packed.
Hope everyone has an awesome day - and an awesome July 4th holiday....

Good morning all,
Another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
I am still home recovering from the car accident. Still having these blasted headaches, and pains in the neck and back. Supposed to go for an MRI on my neck if the insurance approval comes through today. i have a follow up with the doctor on Tuesday and he will determine if I can go back to work. At least I am getting plenty of rest.
I do miss the gym though. I sure hope I am allowed to get back there soon.
Enjoy the sunshine!!

Morning Steffi and Pa..... glad we got to chat for a few minutes last night. I miss you!!!
I went to a power yoga class last night. The class itself was challenging. The instructor changed poses very quickly and I did what I could. I am looking forward to building my strength so I can do the crane pose that they did. I'm going to ask her to help me with it next week so I at least know HOW to do it so I can keep trying on my own.
At the end of the class, she had us all lay down to do a full body stretch and relaxation exercise. While we were all laying there with our eyes closed, she came around to each of us to help with the relaxation. With me, she picked up my legs, moved them a bit and then pulled them just right that it made my back go flat and took out all the stress. Then, she went up to my head and adjusted my neck and gave me a small neck and temple massage. It felt so good and I immediately felt a sense of calm wash over me.
She told us to not let anyone take us out of our quiet place. On the way home, Siehara was getting a bit loud and I just asked her calmly to keep her voice down and find her own quiet place. I changed the radio station to a mellow station and just felt so much at ease, it was unreal. I never thought I could find that place without the assistance of drugs. I'm going to have to talk to that instructor and see if she does classes any other days or at any other places. It was so worth it.
Anyway, back to to today. I'm up and working my OT/adjusted camp schedule.
Siehara is supposed to be going home with one of her friends after camp, so if she does I am going to work some more OT, I think.
After work is dinner, zumba, pilates, pick up Siehara
Home to relax.
I really like this kind of day.

Good Morning! One very bleary eyed girl here this am...
Yesterday was fantastic - but loooong and I am paying for it this morning. We didn't get home till well after midnight...bed didn't happen till 1:15 and I was up by 6:30 to get ready for the gym.
I'll admit it - my legs are frigging killing me...I did my weight routine with them yesterday, a spin class, and THEN Hershey for 10 hours. ooooh, the trainer is gonna be going "WTF is wrong with you" today!
Agenda - get to the trainer appointment from 8:30 - 9:00 if I can stand I will do the 9:15 spin class, but in all honesty....not so sure about THAT one.
Then it's up in the air. I am either going to stay at home and do the baking I need to do for work on Saturday night, or head down to jersey to see my parents and then possibly meet up with a few friends in the area. As exhausted as I am...this jersey girl REALLY misses the shore, so I'm thinking of sending out a FB plea to see if anyone down there wants to meet up at some sort of shore bar thing and enjoy a few drinks and dancing...we'll see.
Ok...time to get moving. I'll need a really good warm up prior to doing weights with the trainer...

I understand what you mean by "unrestricted" in that you can have a "regular" diet...but keep in mind...you're diet is ALWAYS restricted by fat, sugar, and carb amounts.
However, your LIFE becomes very UNRESTRICTED thanks to those things...like an hour and half bike ride!

Good Morning Steffi,
You sound like you are having a blast at camp. I don't know how you do it.
Today has me heading to my family doc for my B12 shot. I never made it to my iron IV yesterday. I was sick, and stayed home. This afternoon, I am going to see my daughter and the kids to say good-bye, and then head up to my therapist for my therapy appointment. That should be interesting.
I hope everyone has a good day.

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Good morning all - another beautiful day in the neighborhood (thank you Mr Rogers)...
I'm at work - man its been tough dragging my carcas out of bed this week - I'm not normally like that but boy I could just lay there and sleep, sleep, sleep...but alas sleep does not pay the bills so here I am at my desk.
Not much going on with us right now - family from Georgia should be arriving sometime this evening - made a huge pot of spaghetti sauce last night and will cook the pasta and make the salad up tonight when I get home - that should satisfy everybody for a while. Other than the planned family party on Sunday I'm not sure what else is on our agenda for the weekend.
Hope everyone has a great day!
