*********Terrific Tuesday Rollcall**********

Good Morning All!

Happy Birthday Shilpa! I hope that you have a great day and enjoy dinner with the family.

Mia is still sleeping so when she gets up I'll feed her and get her dressed then we are going to head out to Walmart for a few items. Then we are just heading home. My Mom and one of her friends are going to stop over after lunch to see the pipsqueek.

Chris is in MD at a class today and should be home around dinner time. It'll be nice to get to have dinner with him tonight.

Good Morning all!

Nothing exciting to post about here. Working this afternoon for the Doc, then home for 4 hours then working a night shift at the hospital. So........the less excitement the better as far as I am concerned. LOL

I don't have off again until saturday, and I am hoping my sweetie and I can have a small date and catch up since it seems we don't get a chance to catch up and talk anymore, but we shall see.

Have a great one!

Happy birthday, Shilpa!!!!

Good morning, all!!

Woke up to find that it had rained sometime during the night.  I was trying to get Paul to go for a walk with me this morning, but it's a good thing we didn't go---it started storming just a few minutes later.  I haven't walked in a few days, and may not for a few more, with the weather forecast and then heading home on Thursday.

We spent yesterday with friends of mine that I haven't seen in about 30 years.  We met for brunch at 10:30 and ended up sitting in the restaurant all afternoon.  It was awesome to spend time with them.  She's known me since I was born, and I was the flower girl at their wedding about 42 years ago.

I made the mistake of calling my mother yesterday.  She was in one of her moods.  She gets into a "oh, poor me" funk and is just so difficult to deal with.  She was focusing on my upcoming surgery and making comments.  I love my mother, but dealing with her just wears me out.

Have a great day, all!!!

Good Morning Birthday Girl!! Hope you have a wonderful day, inspite of the miserable weather out there!! 42, eh?? Not a bad age - and remember, you're probably much healthier now then when you were 32! A lot to be said for that!

I'm at work - long commute in this morning due to the rainy weather. At work all day, then home to make dinner and start on my house renovation - it's more of a rearrangement than renovation, tho - just moving rooms around, and its funny because yesterday I picked up a Philly FIT magazine and one of the things they said in there to boost your spirits or get you out of a rut is to change things up in your house without spending money - so that's what I'm doing! I didn't get anything done last night - had to stop at the grocery store on the way home, then put all that away, fix dinner, then the phone rang and it was my sister from Florida so we gabbed for over an hour - by then it was 8:15 - I cleaned up the kitchen and sat on my butt.

I did get my bloodwork back and it all looks pretty good - my protein level is .1 below what it should be and I have to work on that - only other odd thing are elevated AST and ALT levels - I looked it up on line and it has to do with your liver and Tylenol? Anyway I have to call the dr today and schedule an appt and see what that's all about - the numbers aren't horrible but they're out of the range they should be.

OK guys - have a great day - stay dry - and Shilpa, ROCK THAT BIRTHDAY!!!

Good afternoon Pa,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SHILPA!!    Hope you have a wonderful dinner with your family.

I had every intention of going to the gym this morning until I saw that it was POURING outside.  So I went onto SKYPE to see if I could get my kids in Japan.  SUCCESS!  I haven't talked to them in a week.  It was wonderful to hear their voices, and little miss Lorelai too.  I heard her squealling in the back ground.  I couldn't see them because I was so excited to see they were on, I forgot to hit the video call.  Anyway, I am taking a break at work.  I'm swamped and needed a few minutes to myself so thought I'd check in.  I will go to the gym tonight.  Last night at the gym I did 30 minutes on stationary bike and 30 minutes on the elliptical.  Tonight I plan on doing 40 minutes on elliptical and some upper body weight stuff.

Tomorrow I start my two weeks of protein shakes and 1 sensible meal for pre-op.  I am so excited to start my new "skinny" life and ride that "losers" bench.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day.

Good luck with the two week pre-op diet, Cyd!! It'll go by fast and I bet by the time you get to your surgery date you only have 100 lbs to lose!! It seems daunting up front but it's not too bad - at least you're getting one 'meal' a day - Dr Boe required a 10 day all-liquid diet. But it worked - made me feel better - and made surgery that much easier.

Best of luck to you - you'll be sliding onto the bench in no time!!

Kathy

Thank you.  I'm hoping it goes by real fast! 

Good Luck with the two week liquid.  I had to do it, it does go by very quickly.

Is it still Tuesday?  The past two nights at LVH were just killer, and I had one heck of a gym schedule as well...I'm totally discombobulated for lack of a better term.

I left LVH this morning and went to the gym...did abs/core and a spin class, see the exercise post...ran errands...went home...went to bed WAY to late...woke up late and had to pack food and ended up leaving the house without my work bag.

so here I am at Sacred Heart with no stethoscope, no trauma sheers.....sheesh.  BUT, I did remember my food lol!

Working 12 hours here....mindless work at this point...which is a nice change of pace.  And I have nobody in my section currently so I'm FINALLY getting able to catch up on posts!  Yay!
