Thursday WLS Express-BRRRR

Morning! Its a chilly morn for sure! Bundle up and come to the warm car with a fireplace and hot drinks!

I'm up, waiting to see if we're going to have work/school or not. I think we will but sure am nervous about driving in this cold. Too bad I couldn't have gotten sick today instead of yesterday-right? I slept all day yesterday-no energy, feeling blah, headache and body aches. I still feel weak today but better so I'll go to work because I don't have that much leave.
I'd better get moving. Hope everyone has a great day today.

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOO for Thursdays and Thank you Jesus I can work from home! LOL  I was dreading heading out into the frigid cold this morning, but Ms Grouchy Pouchy decided that supper last night was not going to be tolerated.... so I've been up and down most of the night with her.... and am going to work from home today as a result.... LOL 

Prayers are going out to all that need them!

Here's a little cold weather music to get us in the mood, LOL  It's the BareNaked Ladies version of Baby it's Cold Outside....

I really can't stay
But baby it's cold outside
I've got to go 'way
But baby it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice
I'll hold your hands they're cold as ice.

My mother will start to worry
Beautiful what's your hurry?
And father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some records on while I pour.

The neighbors might think
But baby it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat your hair looks swell.

I oughta say no no no sir
Mind if I move in closer?
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense of hurting my pride
I really can't stay
Oh baby don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby it's cold outside

I simply must go
But baby it's cold outside
The answer is no
But baby it's cold outside
The welcome has been
How lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out that window at that storm.

My sister will be suspicious
Don't your lips look delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips are delicious
Well maybe just a cigarette more
Never such a blizzard before.

I've got to get home
But baby you'd freeze out there
Say lend me a comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
I thrill when you hold my hand
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me?

There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Think of my lifelong sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay
Get over that old doubt,
Ah, but it's cold outside

Where could you be going
When the wind is blowing
And it's cold outside
Baby It's cold, cold outside.

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

I sooo wish I could work from home. Great song-my fav version is Bette Midler's on the soundtrack for "For The Boys"

It's morning and it's cold and I'm tiered

no gym for me Rach came home yesterday from daycare with a fever - no clue WHY they did not call me and let me know she felt crappy- she has an apt this am with the pedi - bball practice tonight - gotta hit walmart or the commissary b/c it's our turn to bring snacks - must have more caffine - brain not awake and need to put in time on school work

talk to yall latter when I am more with it

I hope the doc fixes Rach right up. Sorry she's still sick.

Morning Alissa and the rest of My TMB Family.

I have said it once and I will say it again, I am so over this cold weather.  I know the East Coast is supposed to be colder weather but not like this.  Now they are talking snow for tomorrow.  It better not ruin my visit with Tim and Jon.  Tomorrow is Mark's birthday and we are celebrating with my Mexican Meatloaf (his favorite) and chocolet cake, and cream cheese frosting.  It will be fun just to watch him eat it and share it with his kids.  Went to the doctors yesterday for the pain in my legs and back.  He is certain it has to do with my siatica and was going to try and get his nurse to make a phone call to the Pain Management clinic and see if they can speed up the process a little.  He gave me a script to Celebrex but after emailing with a couple of experts from here (Gina and Que thank you)I have decided not to take it.  The last thing I want or need is something that is going to upset my tummy.  It hurts enough on its own.  Today is going to be a house cleaning day.  I so need to get it done, and have just not had the energy to do it.  Will get it done early so I can have the rest of the day to myself.  It's to cold to go anywhere.  Anyway..prayers this morning for all those spoken and unspoken needs.  Special prayers for Jenny and Eric and for Meggie(has anyone heard how she is).  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys

I hope the pain management clinic gets you in soon. Perhaps they can do more injections since that wouldn't upset your tummy.

Thats what I am waiting for.  The injections worked last time!

Morning Train...

Haven't posted in a while.  I wish I could say I've at least been lurking but I've actually been sort of ignoring my computer.

I feel like I'm getting another sinus infection.  I am very annoyed but I have no one to blame but myself.  When I had my last one, the dr gave me a 2 week run of antibiotics.  Well, I took the first week and then left for Arizona for Christmas and promptly left the medicine at home in the refridgerator.  I was hoping the week I took was enough but apparently not.

This month is crazy with eventing for my medieval group.  We had an event last weekend and events for the next 3 weekends.  I'm very happy that after the January insanity we don't have anything until our big week long war in March.

Put a new 'progress' picture up in my photos.  I'm really starting to feel like I 'look' really different.  Part of it is I hit the thrift stores durning the holiday and bought some pants that actually fit so rather than denim potato sacks, I have jeans that look good.  People at work are still raving about how much weight I've lost.  Other than 'sick' I'm feeling really good and very proud of myself.

Well...time to drag myself out of my comfy chair and get ready for work.  I really don't want to go.  I feel like a day home with rest would help.  But when the boss is sick too and she's there...you just gotta suck it up and go.

Take care all!
