Well I guess the 4 hour plus nap from yesterday was a mistake as could hardly sleep last night.  Will try to go back to bed in a bit with some medicimal help.  Working hard on getting my 50 oz in but seems to be 40 is all I can stomach and that is sipping all day long but am getting my 40 grams of protien.  As of this morning am down 2 pounds from my surgury day morning weight so feel overall good about that. 

 Plan for today is to get my liquids in and rest while Chris and his sitter occupy themselves luckily for me we have a laptop out in the living room and one in our bedroom so will be connected no matter where I am.  Hoping our replacement screen door glass comes in early this week as it will give me something light to do around here.

Going to head back to the sleeper in a bit and try and get a few more Zs.  Then can watch Merlin hopefully.  It is a summer run series on NBC that was originally broadcast over in England last year but is sort of King Arthur meets Harry Potter as it is when Merlin was a teenager.  So far they have done well in including most of the Arthurian charectors even casting Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer as Uther Pendragon aka Arthur's Father.

Good morning Bryan!  I watched that last night and it was very interesting!  I liked it!  I'm a huge Merlin and King Arthur fan so of course, this is right up my ally!

Had an uneventful weekend.  I'm worried about my dad.  He doesn't seem to be doing well.  He's so frail.  I just hope that he starts getting better.  He was talking about going to water aerobics with my mom but I don't think that's happened yet. Mom said she was worn out pushing him around on the ship when they went to Alaska.  He had to be in a wheelchair most of the time.  They are going to go to Michigan soon to see my aunt (Mom's sister) because she is really sick.  I guess I'm getting to that age where I'm seeing people leave me.  I don't know if I can handle that.

Well, It's Monday, better get up and get a shower and get to work.  My doctor's appt is Wed to get my work restrictions redone so there will be no questions about my abilities!  Go figure! 

Have a great day!  Love ya!

Good morning all!! I hope this finds everyone happy and HEALTHY this morning. Was sooo great to see so many of you Sat night and so SAD to NOT be able to see the REST OF YOU (you know who you are, south type people).

Went to family reunion yesterday...ate too much...still paying for it...'nuff said

No work availble last night, but agency boss said there is supposed to a case starting in BURLESON today, that I could have the night shifts for. that woud be PERFECT...so I'm crossing my fingers and toes

Just planning to "piddle" around the house today..laundry, cleaning, etc. I'm working on a "success" wall on my bathroom--where I'll hang race numbers, race pics, the Disney poster from the Princess Half Marathon...stuff like that. The idea started with the "success" sign I won as a door prize at RYD..I know I'm a dork, and Martha Stewart would not agree with my decorating ideas..but ...well..I'll just have to live with that

Gonna go read now...I knew if I read too much first, I'd never get around to posting!!! Hope everyone has the BEST day ever!!!

I LOVE Y'ALL AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!

GOOD MORNING. I ended up napping around 5pm for 30 minutes or so, which was a mistake because I woke up at 12:45am and was awake for a while, went back to sleep but never got into a deep sleep again. Wish I could go back to bed now!
We had a great time swimming with Brandi and fam. Bryan stayed behind and napped. I got more sun than I thought I did-I used sunscreen but am still red. Thankfully I usually go from red to tan pretty easily.
My food choices have been crappy lately. I need to get back on track-for me and for Bryan too. Don't know what's gotten into me. I need to hit the restart button-I'm going to try to do that today. Go back to the basics, and stop snacking so dang much.
Hugs and prayers going out to all! take care!
