Terrific Tuesday Roll Call!!!!!

Good Morning PA!!!

Yesterday my daughter Brianna (Bri) called to let me know her and Brian are offically engaged!!!!!

Woo-Hoo - wedding planning, dress shopping, shoe shopping.....I'm so excited.  Gene spoke to her yesterday and offered our house if they want to go that route, and that he will officiate for them.

On other notes.  I am soooo busy, so much happening, my head is spinning.

Work - extremely busy

School - sooooo stressful

Construction - exciting,  yet I'm ready to have my house back and all this to be done and over with.

Off/working from home today.  Have to go out and get together a list of stuff the GC gave us yesterday, today was Gene's only free day so I had to adjust my schedule.   Talked to my director yesterday and requested that I have very liberal flex time in the coming weeks, she is good with that.

One thing I am finding lately is that I forget to eat.  I do not get hungry, with all the activities and stress going on right now I'll find myself realizing it is noon and I have not eaten yet.  I do drink my fluids religiously, take my vitamines/suppliments.  Eating goes to the back burner.  I have set my outlook to remind me to eat, so far that works sporadically, if I'm not swamped with stuff I'll stop and eat otherwise I'll turn it off, then when it goes off again realize oh crap I didn't eat the first time.   In all this chaos one more thing that I have become aware of and need to address.

Hope everyone has a great day....

Wow Ida forgetting to eat? That is something I could get used to.
Congratulations to your daughter and to you all. Love weddings.

Yesterday at work was YUCK again new director making changes without even knowing how things work here yet.  So ridiculous. Went to the gym after with my supervisor she is most definately looking for a new job. I am thinking unless things change I probably will too just because if we do the whole MICKEY MOUSE thing my license is too valuable to put in danger.
I have a forced one on one meeting with the new Director today GOD HELP ME AND KEEP MY MOUTH SHUT.

Today I am at work pretty light day planned other than the previously mentioned meeting, Will probably hit the gym again after work. Going to try and get there Mon Tues and Thursdays. Eating on my plan Monday was shaky but better than Sunday. So that is a good thing.

They are having a rally on Friday for Dr Brader. I wonder how many people will show. I cannot I have to work.  It really is appauling at how badly LGH has handled this.  I am not surprised myself because of how appauling they have handled me, but dear LORD this man is their rock star surgeon their bread and butter how stupid can you be??? Just goes to show I never had a chance in hell if he is not even safe. He is a talented surgeon he will be fine and will land on his feet I just hope it is nearby in case we need him.

Hope you all have a great day

Hi Nicole;
Yes, forgetting to eat.  Which makes me worry about my protein.  I'm starting to set my alarm on my outlook calendar to remind me to eat.

Thank you, she is planning to get married the end of July or August - OH MY....We will pull this together, I'm soooo excited about the wedding....

Good Morning Ida,
I have been up since five with a very fussy 21 month old grandson.  He was crying and clinging to his Mama, as she got ready for work.

Today is babysitting and resting.  Not sure they go together.

Congrats on your daughter's wedding.  That is exciting.  Stay consistent with your food, even if it is a protein bar, or string cheese for snacking. 

Hugs,
Trish

Thank you Trish!

I'm trying, I do not get hungry so when I'm swamped with work, I don't even think about it.  I was forgetting to drink for a while there, but now as soon as I empty a cup, I force myself to walk to the kitchen to fill it again.

 Morning Ida and Pa.. congrats once again on your daughter's engagement.  You have a lot on your plate.  Don't forget to eat!   Sheesh.. I really wish I had that problem. 

Today has me working my weird mixed up Tuesday schedule. 

Back to Basics week 2 of the nutrition portion.  I THINK we are going to talk about food plans today.  I REALLY need to get back in the game. My main issue is the lack of $$ to buy QUALITY food.  I don't buy JUNK food, per se, but I know the quality of meat I buy is not always the best because I just can't afford it.   I'm doing the best I can with what I've got and I REFUSE to give up completely.  I may fall off the wagon but will keep getting back up again.  I've come too far to do anything else.  

After work, Siehara has her therapy appointment.  Half of it will be family session.  I need to pull her therapist aside before hand or text her b/c I caught Siehara stealing money from me again and it needs to be addressed.  She has also been over the top attitude wise the past few days/weeks and she needs to be reigned in before we kill each other.    On that same note, I need to be reigned in, too.  With all the financial crap going on with me, I know my attitude has not been the best.  I also really think that I may have undiagnosed ADHD.  Time to make an appointment for myself to find out and get it treated if I do.  

Tonight, we will head over to the gym for pilates.  

Thank goodness I have the gym.  That is one expense that I just CANNOT cut back on.  If I didn't have the gym, I'd be toast.. seriously.

See - THIS is why I think we WERE sperated at birth - although - you are WAY younger than me - I have an appointment with the psychiatrist in June for the same thing!

 um, sweetie.. I am not THAT much younger than you.. 39 in July.. no more after that, though 

Got in with my PCP for Friday morning.  If he can't diagnose it, then I'll go to a psych.

I am going to my GP tomorrow. It was only suppose to be for the blood work, but now that I am taking the whole day - I might make it an official appointment and see what he has to say about it.

And remember - I am LOVING my 40's they are sooooo much more fun than my 30's were - so don't stop celebrating OR stop counting!  and can we already plan for this summer's celebration?   I am totally ready!!!!!!
