Thrilling Thurday Roll Call
Good Morning Trish;
Today I'm feeling better than yesterday. I am up and ready to go see my dermatologist. Then heading into work. I'm going to try to stay till 5 to get some stuff done but if I can't I'll be leaving when I need to go.
Nothing else planned for today.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Good Morning Pa and Trish,
Today finds Deliah and I going to the Library to find some reading material, then a trip to the drug store to hopefully get the flu shot that I tried to get yesterday. I did not have my new insurance card yet, but had called and gotten all the info I needed from the insurance co., and then when I got to the drug store and they called the insurance co, they had no record of me (? what). This morning I printed out a temporary card, which I guess I should have done yesterday, so we'll see what happens now. This baby sitting of the grand kids is great, but with my daughter taking on an additional job as a nurse at another hospital, its starting to make me crazy, and we are only in the orientation stage, next week starts the real work. Thank Goodness this will only last til the end of June for me, I will have met my promise of two years free babysitting, and Deliah will be old enough to go to day care. I don't know what she will do if she needs to work nites, but it will be retirement life for me and finally moving down to my Tenn. home. Sorry for the rant.
Have a good day.
Hugs, Ena

Good Mroning Trish, PA Friends,
So it is Veteran's Day is a time to realize the sacrifices of many young lives cut short by believing that our country and it's values were worth fighting for, so let us remember all the Veterans today, those gone, but let us not forget the many that walk among us scarred for life by some of what they have witnessed in their duty as soldiers guarding and protecting us.
Today should be an easier day at work, which simply means for me, working on the many projects my one boss seems to think are necessary to keep me busy (lol). Otherwise, this evening I will attend an AA meeting and that will be about it. ..
Wishing you all the very best of days and for those facing and dealing with lifes greater challenges, I wish you peace and strength to get through those challenges.
Hugs, Laureen

Good morning Trish and all of PA - I am up too early - no school, however, I think someone forgot to tell my body's alarm clock to shut off. Oh well, have to get showered, head to seee Dr. Pupkova for my 18 month check up - six weeks late. Then today we are all off - I am thinking of taking the family to the Boulder park that Karen suggested in Buck's County then maybe bowling later in the day. Emily REALLY want to play laser tag, so that might be a possibilty as well. We shall see.
Hope you all have a great Thursday!

Good Morning Trish and PA!!
Trish-take it one day at a time....that is all any of us can do!!
JoJo- hope you feel better soon. Maybe rest is what you need! You did just get married!! LOL...
Nicole- I LOVE those stories!! It is amazing the impact we have on people without even realizing it! I see that from time to time as a teacher. I recently met up with one of my former students and she is successful, she is going to college, not pregnant, or in trouble with the law!! I believe that I had something to do with that!!
Today I am off of school. I have a Drs. appt this morning, then I am going to visit my folks since I haven't seen them in awhile....the rest of the day I have to stop off at the store then deal with the PILES of clean laundry that needs to be put away!
Thanks to all the veterans, like my dad, who served and are still serving to keep our country safe!!

I woke up thinking it was Friday not good way to start my day. Last night had dinner with good friends then came home. Got a phone call that set my already semi down mood all the way It led to me getting upset with Dennis then just feeling awful. Yet we did manage to clean out half of the garage and will do the rest next week.
Tonight I will be baking a cake for a friends house tomorrow evening then my goal is to clear my dining room table of crap! Everything seems to land there and I need to get it organized. That is my plan dining room and kitchen tonight!
Life is good!
Morning everyone -
Made it to bingo at a local bar last night with a couple of friends. Had so much fun. But was jonesing for a beer before the night was over. My surgeon never gave me a minimum amount of time to wait for alcohol, but from everything I've read I decided to wait one year. I have an addictive personality and want to be extra cautious. Only six months to go.
Today is work followed by week three of Zumba! Let's see if I remember any of the routines tonight, not likely but you never know.
Tomorrow is my 6 month anniversary and check up at the surgeons. Excited and nervous. I wasn't what you would call "diligent" on my vitamins for much of October and that is definitely going to show up in my blood work.
Have a great sunshiney fall day today!

Hi everybody - a little late in posting today. Had physical therapy this morning - the PT is recommending 2 more weeks of therapy for my arm, and I agree. It has come a long way since I first started going but isn't 100% yet. I see the doctor tomorrow.
Not much on my agenda today - I might start some laundry and get that out of the way for the weekend - then again I may not. Feeling lazy today.
Really missing my parents today - saw a Navy Vet at PT today and it brought back a lot of memories of my dad, then as I was leaving there was this tiny elderly woman waiting in the lobby on oxygen and she reminded me of mom, so I'm a bit weepy as I'm missing both of them a lot today.
Dinner tonight with hubby for our anniversary - looking forward to that. Think I'll drag him out to Lancaster tomorrow to do a little holiday shopping.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Afternoon, everyone...
Had a good session with the personal trainer last night, so didn't go to the gym this morning. Sometimes things work out well, because Eddie came home from his new "job" (he had taken on a paper route) upset and had quit and was being very down on himself. Difficult to handle at the best of times, but at 6 AM i'm really not at my best... We talked through things and I think he's feeling a bit better about it - and I think it's ultimately for the best as that was not the type of job that would have been healthy for him in the long run (lack of sleep is not good with bipolar, difficulty meshing with his church job's hours, etc.). But we'll move on from there.
I'm at work all day, then heading to Wegmans for dinner and a meeting (BRIEF) with a Mary Kay rep to pick up a basket of goodies that I won in a raffle at my gym. I know she's going to try and sell me a bunch of other stuff, but I need to behave and resist - just not in the budget right now.
This week has been a real food struggle in some odd ways. I think it's a combo of emerging from crisis mode on a couple of fronts, the change in time, eddie's disrupted sleep schedule, etc. I've just felt very off-balance, haven't felt like cooking, had a hard time putting meals together, etc. And when I don't plan, I don't do well... Even wandered through Wegmans the other night and had NO ideas for anything to cook for healthy dinners. Hopefully I'll catch up on my own sleep soon and will get my energy back.
Looking forward to Liz's this weekend - I think that will be very energizing too!
