Good Morning My TMB Family,

Well it looks like today may be a half way decent day. I swear the weather here is as crazy as it was in Texas.  Yesterday it was 55 and this weekend we are going to have snow.  Crazy just crazy.  My back and  hips just cant take this.  Looks like retirement will have to be someplace warm.  No big plans for today.  Do some clean up around here today, and run to the commisary.  I would like to see if I can find a library and get some movies and maybe a book.  I want to read Valarie Bertinelli's new book and also Ozzie Ozborn has a new book out to.  Hopfully his book does not read like he speaks...LOL!  Really missing Mark this week.  Just does not seem the same without him here. He is good though and calls twice a day.  He likes school and he loves Florida.  I need some opinions. I really need to find an exercise or two that I can that wont put a lot of stress on my back.  Can anyone tell me some.  I am not exercising at all and it is showing. Hate not being able to get out and walk everday.  Always felt so much better. Ok guess that is all going on with me this morning.  Prayers for those in need, spoken and unspoken.  Special prayers for Jenny and Eric, and for Meggie.  Have a blessed day.  Love you guys.

Sorry for your pain Michelle.  My Dr gave me some exercises for my back.  I had 2 dics that deteriated and then fused together and a spur on it.  So once in a while I have to wear my tens unit (it stimulates the nerves) works awesome and do the back exercises.  Maybe you pain management Dr can give you exercises that will work for your hips and back.  Oh and I can predict the weather!!!

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOOO for Tuesday!  I'm jonesing on that endorphin high again, can you tell?  LOL  No cardio this morning, but tomorrow my biceps, triceps, lats, pecs and glutes aren't gonna love me, LOL  Michelle, is there somewhere that you could use a pool?  Walking in water is a great exercise and it takes a lot of the strain off your back, also water areobics is great too if you can find a class near you...

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

GOOD MORNING! Yesterday Chris brought home a folder with the 7th grade information. Its the first time he gets to take electives. How neat for him! Plus it also said that today is a meeting at 7pm for all parents of kids going into 7th. Nice that they gave me some advanced warning! So its off to the school I go tonight. He is going to take choir which is great because he has a wonderful singing voice. I just can't believe he's going into a new school and getting so grown up!
Michelle- I was thinking the same thing as Karen said- water aerobics or water walking in the pool. Also you might talk to a yoga instructor if there is a place near you and explain your pain issues and see if yoga might be good because then the instructor would know which ones to tell you to do and which ones you shouldn't do. I hope you feel less pain soon! If it makes you feel any better we're supposed to get snow Thursday! Just last week I had the AC on!

Hope everyone has a great day today!

Well, I found out yesterday that I'm going to be "assessed" today and probably walked off the clock.  Taken off my job because there is "no jwork available" that I can do because of my limitations due to an on the job injury.  Even tho I've been working 8 hours a day for the last 13 years with the same limitations and they've been accomodating me all this time, all of a sudden, there's no work available for me.  I'll get 30 days of Administrative leave because I'm a Vet, but then the Department Of Labor takes over my pay.  It has come.  The last shoe has dropped.  At least we've gotten a class action law suit going so hopefully, when this is resolved, I'll have a major paycheck!  Pray for me y'all!

However on the good side, I'm being paid to stay home and put in for jobs at other govt agencies!  And that's what I'm going to do!  I'm going to call the Nuclear Regulatory Commission today to see what the status is on that job I was interviewed for.  Now that I'm being RIFfed, I may get special status for other agencies. 

Got to go take a shower so I can go get told to go home!  Y'all have a great day!  Love ya!!

My prayers are with you today.  Maybe things will be different when you get there and they wont send you home.  If they do I am sure there is something out there for you.  Keep us updated.  Love ya!

Laura, I will add you to my prayers... It is no fun when you don't have a job to rely on.  I know how it feels.  I hope your lawyer gets you a big settlement.

Going to jump on really quick this morning -

today is the begining of my 3 -12 hour shifts for the week. It's not so much fun when I have to start 3 in a row.  I told Steve as he left today that I would see him Friday - He leaves for work at 6 am and I get off at 1 or 2 am so we don't meet again until I have a day off. I do get to talk to him when he is at work, but at my job, there is very little time for the telephone. So a quick Hi and Bye are about all he hear from me.

His b-day is Friday and we are going away for a long weekend, then, Tuesday is our 36th wedding anniversary, so we will celebrate it this weekend as well. I can't wait for get away. No house work or responsibilities.

Everyone have a geat day and I will check in when I get home.  Love ya - Gaye
 Life is what you make of it! Enjoy when possible.

Good morning.  I have jury duty today since I was so lucky to have been picked yesterday.  Hopefully it will be over today by 4:00 since I have to teach my homebound student.  I would rather not be at her house until 7:30 tonight.  It's not a very exciting case...doesn't involve drugs or sex or death.  At least I know a few other jurors.  I'll get in extra exercise since we have a very handicapped unfriendly courthouse.  It does have an elevator, but lots of hills outside and stairs inside.  You have to walk down 3 flights of little narrow tall stairs to go to the bathroom.

Prayers to all who need them.

Have a great Tuesday!

Karla
