HAPPY HALF WAY DAY YA'LL!

Good am,

How are ya'll doing? Great I hope. How was your Tuesday? I didn't get around to much fabric shopping but I have some ideas now. I did get some chores done, baked 55 cupcakes for Dad's birthday and had some silly signs printed, got outside for a bit and it was yet another emotional day. Really hoping they just slow down or stop for a while.

What's on the books for your Wednesday? I'm not planning much at all. I'll see what comes along. Most likely chores, catching up on some To Do List items, getting out in nature weather provided (thunderstorms pending) and spending time with the buggas.

I hope everyone has the BEST Wednesday they can!
Hugs...........

Morning, Sunshine.....

First...thank you VERY much for the card.  It was nice to receive it and cheered me up.  I think I am going through empty nest syndrome and it's a b*tch.....talk about depression.  Anyways...thanks for the card - it brought a smile on my face.

Let's see.....today is Wednesday and I'm NOT working out during lunch today.  I'm going to leave my house tonight and go to the dance studio for a fitness class and a poles class.  It's been a few weeks since I've actually been on the poles, and I can tell - haha.

Work, as always, is VERY busy.  Almost overwhelming...adding to my funk.  I hate to be overwhelmed.

BUT....am looking forward to this Sunday.  We HAVE to make time to chat.  We always end up consumed elsewhere and forget each other...so, let's make a plan to chat!

Anyways........

Have a GREAT day!!!

Hey Jill,

You're welcome! Yes, depression sux big time. Know that I'm here when you need me and even when you don't. :)

I certainly hope work begins to taper off and you can find a happy medium and get out of the funk too. I'm very much in one and am choosing to sit in the corner.

About Sunday ..you've got mail darling!

Hugs to you and enjoy the rest of your evening.

Hey Girlie!!

Yesterday I didn't do a whole lot of anything...still felt pretty dragged down from staying awake all night Sunday.  I slept good last night so I'm feeling better today.

Nino's home for the rest of this week cuz he's sick with bronchitis & sinus infection.  He's banned to his room so I don't catch any of that stuff.

Today I've already been editing the photos from  Sunday's bbq...I'll post the addy to them when I'm done.  I see my PCP at 11 so he can tell me yet again how out of control my cholesterol is.  I'm one of those that has the hereditary factor plus I'm allergic to most of the medications.  The ones I'm on now are very difficult to take cuz they're freaking HUGE & often get stuck.  I've tried to crush them but they seem impervious to my pill crusher.  Short of a sledge hammer...well, I'm gonna ask him what we can do next.

I'm not sure if I'll be on here tomorrow.  I get to go have a root canal done...woo hoooo!!!  I can hardly wait!   NOT!!!!!

Oh, I almost forgot.  I made "contact" with fellow lapbanders here in OH.  Don't worry, I'm not gonna abandon my Ohana here...ya'll are part of me now...but maybe they can help me down the right path.  It's one thing to watch ya'll lose large amounts of weight cuz that's the nature of your tool.  But when I got on the bander site & saw so many of them having lost 50, 60, even 70 lbs in half the time that I've been working on it...well, obviously I'm not doing something right.  So keep your fingers crossed that I can figure out the error of my ways with their help.

Ok, off to have breakfast, take a shower, & get on with my day.  Happy Wednesday!!

Hey Ann,

Glad you slept well last pm. Please tell Nino "hello" for me and that I pray he gets to feeling better. Also, "hello" to Matt, Mike and the pups which the buggas mention a lot. Hope things went well at the PCP's office and that you are able to find another solution to the pill crushing situation. All best at the dentist. Glad you've found more support with othe Lapbanders as well. We can never have enough support.

Hugs.......

Tuesday was awesome.  As you can tell,. I am back on the boards more and I love it!  I didn't realize how much I missed it.  I need you guys!  You all rock!  I am working as usual then it's off to Costco to pick up a few things and fill er up with a tank of gas and home to cook dinner and more rearranging.  My new firdge is awesome and I finally have a lot of room and a huge freezer, too.  I am eager to stock it full and see just how much I can fit in it!  I am hoping to be able to go back to "monthly" shopping and buying in bulk so that I can save a little money.  Then I only have to get the milk, bread, and veggies/produce weekly.  I used to save a ton shopping like that.  I am excited about Sunday and really looking forward to it.  At some point this week I have to go out and get my sister a gift for her baby shower.  ot looking forward to spending the money...but I love buying baby things! 

Tammy

Hey Tammy,

Glad to see you back on the boards! Hope you get everything done today you're wanting to. I'm getting there but must admit I'm not real motivated. Thank the Lord for reminders of how blessed I am that let me know I have to forge ahead. I hope Sunday goes wonderfully. (You've got mail) A girlfriend of mine had a baby recently and so others are due in the months to come. Its always fun shopping for things.

Hugs........

Yesterday was a long day for me! I had to go see my plastic surgeon so he could look at my wounds and he was happy with what he saw....... still hurts like the dickens but that is to be expected. Then I took Connor to his swimming lessons then visited Walmart and ran a couple of other errands and had a class in the evening. Really I overdid it and suffered for it as I should have been resting with my legs up!

Today I have to take Connor swimming lessons and in the late afternoon my neice and her fiance are coming from the UK for a month - so will be going to the airport to collect them...... I haven't seen her for 2 years so we are all excited about that.

Back to work tommorrow - will be dragging but have to get back to the grind...... sigh....

Hope you all have a good day!

Jackie

Hey Jackie,

Glad things went well at your appointment. Hope you've gotten in some rest and are doing better. Hope Connor is really enjoying his swimming lessons. Have fun swipin' the niece and fiance from the airport. I'm sure they will enjoy their time here with ya'll and vice versa. Do take care and get better!

Hugs.............

Good Morning Beautiful!!!!  So sorry that the emotional rollercoaster is stuck on go for you.  Hopefully it will break soon.

My Tuesday was pretty good.  Did the work thing, hit the gym, home to cook dinner, then a quiet evening on the couch, me with a book, hubby watching his Yankees.  Nothing on the books for tonight, I believe both hubby & I will be taking a break from the gym tonight, persahps an evening walk is in store.  Have a great one!  Love you much!!!
