Terrific Tuesday WLS Express

check your PMs

Good morning!  So glad to see you driving Nurse Diva Gina.  Can't wait to see you Saturday!!!!

I have to go into the office for a little paperwork first thing this morning and be at the hs for ARD meetings the rest of the day later this morning.  Lots to do at home for chores when I get home. 

Prayers for all who need them.

Go Becky  on the condo purchase!

Looking forward to the weekend.

Have a great Tuesday.

Hope the survey turns out better than you expect.  If not, you can work on changing it for next year.  You can't help what other nuts did before you!

Hi, everybody!  It's been a few days since I posted, so I thought I'd better get in here.  Terrific Tuesday - for me that's because I've 'sold' 25 titles on Operation EBook Drop and have heard back from a few soldiers/family members.  It's been so gratifying to know, in a small way, I'm making a positive difference.

For me, personally, last weekend was horrible foodwise!  I'm back on track now but still shaking my head at how easily I go off rail. 

Hope everyone gets some resolution, some encouragement, and an extra boost of energy today.

morning everyone,

And yes, so far it's been a good week.  I never imagined 5 days ago I would be a home owner. Amazing what one snarky letter from the landlord can do to put a burr in my butt! lol.  Apparently it was a good one. Never realized that I was in a position to buy, but the government actually did something in MY favor this time with the tax credit.  Let's just pray that the rest of the steps to get this done work as smooth as the first few have.

Not much going on aside from training at work and OT, and planning, planning and planning.

I do have a prayer request, trivial as it may be. I have a shift bid in at work and only one with work with the new move and the fact that Emm will no longer be eligible to ride the bus.  We will be too close, yet the walk TO school is straight up hill through the woods. Yep, we will live in the actual, literal start of the hill country !  So I need this shift change to 8:30 instead of 7:30 to start work, so I can drop her at school on the way to work.

It's nice to have something good to talk about. Final papers aren't signed, so any continuous prayers would be appreciated.

Love you all no matter what the scale says!

Becky  - I have to go read your other post for sure - but being able to transport your child saftly to school is not trivial - it's something that can make or break you stress wise at least to me, so prayers being said for the right shift for you - now I have to go see detials on this condo:)

hugs

Prayers definitelty being said. Shift bids are great if you can get what you want but stink when you NEED one and it's not open because someone else took it. Argh! I sure hope you get it! Definitely saying prayers so Miss Emm can get to school safely girlfriend!

Wow. Riding the train is kinda fun. Never jumped on in all the years I've been here but it's a nice option to just talk about what you're up to.

Today is the urologist day. Whoo hoo! We're hopefully scheduling the removal of the 5 cm tumor for sometime in December (maybe earlier but doubtful) so we can fully get on the way to curing Eric - not just stopping the spread like we're doing now with chemo. I'm excited but nervous about the doc not being able to do the surgery. It's not pretty folks. I helped Eric take a shower yesterday and he's all bone. At least he's eating again for the time being. But it's very uncomfortable to see excess skin on someone who's so slender as it is. He has no volume where he used to have volume. It's very sad and uncomfortable to look at but I would never vocalize it to him. All will be good though. He'll eat lots when he can, to make up for when he can't, and eventually he'll get back his muscle mass and be strong once more. I just know it.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!! Remember - we're all too blessed to be stressed!

Good morning, I never even read the train yesterday, no less posted.  We've been having a lot of drama at work the past month or so and we're trying to figure out how to get the "joy" back.  It's not FUN going to work anymore and I need that to prevent burnout.  Part of the problem is that they changed my schedule so that I rarely work with my favorite co-worker and I now work with ones that don't pull their weight.  Oh well, I know this too will pass.

I was up until 1 am "Christmas shopping" online.  I'm doing some price comparisons so I can start hitting it in earnest.  I'm off on Black Friday so hopefully I can score a good deal on a flat screen TV for Hailey.

Just 4 days and I'm headed to Karla's with Gina, Que and Liz...woohoo, road trip!!  I get to wear my black leather pants twice in one month~fun, fun.  Wish I was going to SBUX tonight but it's just too far to drive in rush hour traffic.  Those of you going, give Lynnette a hug from me.

 

Good morning everyone,

OK, I went to the doctor yesterday and he is running a bunch of tests.  He's not convinced that my liver enzymes being elevated is because of my sugars being elevated.  He is running the A1C but since everything was totally normal 6 months ago and I haven't gained a bunch of weight since then and if anything, started eating healthier, he is running other tests at the same time to save time.  Matt is worried but I told him to stop that until the tests all come back.  They should all be back by the end of the week.  I do have a working glucometer now with strips so I will test regularly as well.

I would also like to ask for prayers at 1:00 tomorrow.  Won't give details as I don't want to jinx anything.  I'll share later.  

Saying prayers for all.  Have a great day everyone.
