What's New FRIDAY?

Good Morning Ladies and Gents.  Thank you for the walk down memory lane with the responses to favorite scents.  Although I try to respond to each and every posting during the day, that doesn't seem to happen. Your comments are important and I do read them. But those darned things such as work, preparing meals, laundry, life in general, keep demanding attention too.  What is happening in your life on this Friday morning? Annette

Not muc happening in Baltimore. The same old same old. Work, baby, work, baby.  I did start an on line class this week. I hope to be able to spend some time on it this weekend. I also moved my office upstairs so that N and lp can have the room with an attached bathroom. Still a lot of work to do to get the rooms all together. I hope to have some good old home time this weekend. N has been in the hospital all week. She is expected to come home today. The moved her pic line from her arm to her chest. I hope this will reduce the infections she keeps getting as well as provide some ease and comfort for her so she can stay home for more than a few days.  Have a great one. Time to get ready for the paying job I love so much!

Aime, I don't know where you get the energy to care for your loved ones, take a course,  move the house around, and still go off to work. Must be help from all of our prayer.Take some time for yourself. Hugs Annette

TGIF

Margo, you hit the nail on the head.  A big fat TGIF from me too.  I wish I could quit my job, or better yet, get fired. 

Don't you hate the intrusions on our time here??  I'd much rather be spending time with my OFF family than all the other things that steal our time. Gary got up at 4:30, weighed himself and ha**** a new low;  225.4.  That's down from 297 two years ago (almost) when I had my surgery. He was so energized he went to the gym  LOL.  He's about 8 lbs from what he weighed 26 years ago when we got married. I'm so proud of him, and oh yeah, he's looking pretty darn HOT!! Sitting here with my latte, will be hopping in the shower in just a minute. Gotta start eating soon, back down to 118 again. Oh well, it is what it is. I'm wondering how I'll react to not having a scale next week while on vacation. Maybe it will be a good time for me to break that habit? Hugs to all,

Susan, Please tell Gary CONGRATULATIONS!! That is quite an accomplishment. Do you have any idea what weight feels good for you yet? You haven't been able to stay in one place for long. Maintenance was hard enough then you had more surgery. How confusing. 

Hi Darlin' No, I don't know what to do or where to be.  So much for this "revision" the doc said he did to help me absorb more. I have to go to 2,000  or more calories to gain, but that's nearly impossible. Takes non stop eating and drinking LOTS of calories. If I go back to 1500 where I'm comfortable, I lose.  So, I just weigh myself daily and plan my meals accordingly. Today will be an eating day. I suppose I'm more relaxed about it the more I get it figured out, but it's still a darned hard way to live. Fortunately, I feel great and have more energy than I've had in years. So, all is well with the world. Hope you're feeling better. What's going on with the liver thing?  You're in my prayers, along with all my other OFF sisters and brothers. Hugs

Susan, You will figure out the right balance eventually. Maybe a vacation from the scale will help by getting your mind off weight and food. Go with the flow and see what happens.  No word from the doctor yet about the liver tests. I haven't turned yellow and feel well so that's got to be good? Thanks for the prayers.

Congratulations Gary!  George was a very thin 148 lbs when we married, I was around 215.  He's now up to the 215 I was then, but unfortunately I'm not down to his 148, probably never will be. Debbie
