Lazy Labor Day Roll Call

Good Morning PA,

I was out the door and gone all day Sunday and never got to report in, and now I am up because I cannot wind down from a long, but good day.  Mom’s birthday is today, and we celebrated in Wilkes Barre Sunday.  My sister and I took the dogs which made for interesting travel, but they had a nice fenced yard to play in while we took Mom out for dinner, with her beau, as his birthday is this week as well.  Mom is 84 and Sam will be 87, and they both have a huge garden at his house and they can all the goodies they don’t eat or give away.  We came  home with a box full of fresh tomatoes.  I am heading to the store for American cheese and making a grilled cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch today.

 

My allergies were through the roof all day Sunday, between Mom’s freshly mown lawn to my poor Utley shedding all over me on the way home, so I am going to take it easy today.

 

My agenda is AA, the gym for a swim, and playing with yarn all day, after I hit the grocery store. 

 

I hope everyone stays safe, and makes wise food choices today.

 

Huggles,

Trish

Good morning Trish and PA.  That sandwich sounds yummy, if only I liked tomatos. 

Well unfortunatly since I was laid up in the hospital for two weeks I ran out of time off so Im at work today and will be here until 3:30.  This sucks!  There was no one out on the road at 6:00 this morning,, which make you feel like a loser for having to work while everyone else cooks out and enjoys the weather.  Whatever, I'm not bitter!  I will be checking back into OH and this thread all day so if anyone wants to respond to my post here it will probably be the most exciting thing that happens to me all day, lol.

I hope everyone has a fun filled day.

Swede--Aww that does stink that you have to work!! But the positive is that you are doing okay and can work so yay to that!!! Hopefully your day flies and you will be home before you know it!! If it makes ya feel any better...I don't have anything going on for te holiday and will be spending the day doing stuff for work because the school year begins once more for me tomorrow! LOL So try to have fun (as much fun as you can at work!!! :-)  )

Good Morning Swede,
I am so sorry you have no available time off from work.  If it makes you feel any better, my sister and sis-in-law are working today as well.  One works for unemployment in New Jersey, and the other works on a college campus and students are moving in.  I am not at a barbecue...I am recuperating from my trip. 

Hang in there.

Hugs,

Trish

Totally stinks that you have to work today, Swede!!!  But maybe you can look at the positive side?  In this economy & time of high unemployment, it's good to have a job!!!!  And at least you didn't have to deal with traffic!!!  Yeah, not much help, is it?  Sorry---I tried!!!

Oh blah blah blah!  Must be rough - oh wait....I had off ALL summer AND am off today....oh well - you know how to reach me and play throughout the day.  Glad you are on here though!  Hope you are doing well - want an update please on your weight loss! :)

Ain't all fun and games here, Stef!  We were waiting for a hurricane last week.  And I'm job hunting from here.  So much stress!!!  Oh but wait---it IS the beach!  lol 

Can't give an update on weight loss just yet as I haven't been on a scale in 3 weeks.  And unfortunately I can't tell by my clothes---my belly was big from the fibroids, then from swelling after surgery.  I'll weigh myself tomorrow when we go to my house---hope I'm not in for a nasty shock!!!

Thanks for the replies everyone.  It has made my day a little better.  On a positive note, I found out that the clients here are having a cookout and party here today so I will be able to go to it in between meetings.  I hope that helps stem the flow of sorrow that is oozing out of me...lol.  Ok, im back to the grind stone.

Swede

Good morning Trish and PA!!!!!

Trish--hope you are getting some relief from your allergies today and that Utley is behaving himself and not shedding so much! LOL Hugs to you for a great day!!!

As for me...not much going on here. Alot of people are down the shore, on vacation etc...soooo I am just sticking close to home.  I will prob write out my welcome cards for my new class and possibly do some more laundry..but other than that just hanging around here.  I will prob go sit out back and read if it stays sooo nice today!!

Happy Labor day everyone!!! Hope you have a fantastic day!

Much luv!
Laura

Good  Morning All

Today has us hanging out at home. Chris went to visit his dad in the nursing home, first time there, it should be interesting. His Grandmother and uncle are stopping in for a visit around lunchtime. I think that the "tire lube express" is opening in the driveway later today too. I am hanging out in the house. I am on a clear liquid diet today for a test tomorrow. NOT looking forward to it. I am already feeling woozy so I am sure that no solid food and no carbs today is going to be interesting. I've already warned Chris that he is on baby duty when he gets back.

Have a great day all!!
