I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

320 highest, 302 consultation, 289 surgery. Total weight loss:165lbs.
Bon Journo..Winter on the great plains, far from great -9 this morning, but it is very sunny and no wind, yesterday was windy and ohhh somiserable coming and going. Had our family Christmas at my moms yesterday. There is a big nice meeting room whereshe lives and we can use the kitchen, all decorated and nly a $10 donation to rent. The bad part was it was sooo cold in there, was funny 4 outof the 8 of us got new throws they sure were welcome. It was a good time. I got anew bible too George, NIV woman's study bible.And a nice new bible case. Today I am so tired I feel drunk. It will be a very quiet floor here at work as half the staff is off. I love it. Starting Thursday I am off for a week . I have to drive to Lincoln tomorrow to pick up my brother, hewill stay withmy mom for a couple days then I wil have to take him back. It is nly an hour drive but my attitude is not real good. My brother is on the special side and his social skills are almost non existant. His attitude is always, "so what" so what that you took time and gas out of your busy life for me, so what that people buy me nice things and I have never ever once given anyone so much as a hug or a thank you. He just shurgs and says, "Oh well" as if to say, I don't really like it . He will never change, I need to accept him and just laugh. But strangling is what comes to mind. Belated Happy Birthday Carla..and Happy Anniversery Jan.. To night I am going to stay home in the warmeth and watch my TLC shows.Blessings

Aloha George and my OFF family.....
Thank you for the Christmas card, George....so very sweet. LOVE the bargains you got yesterday....my kind of shopping!
It's 7:00 a.m. here on Maui and it will soon be sunshine blinding me as it bounces off the smooth as silk ocean. It has been so still lately that we can see tiny turtle heads popping up along with the occasional whale back as it slowly cruises into the bay. The snowbirds are rejoicing and laying out in the sun getting all brown and red depending on how long they lay there...Ha!
Yesterday I spent back and forth on the phone with my kids who were driving from Santa Cruz to Portland, Oregon. The made it over the mountains fine and spent the night in Eugene...much farther than I thought they would make it the first day. Then it was creeping into Portland about 40 MPH because the highway was icy. They are now all settled into a rented condo on the river in Portland and expecting lots of friends and family for the next week. I was so relieved when they were safely at their destination. Wish I were there, too...but I will be seeing them in three weeks!!
My surgery was almost three weeks ago, and I am sick of wearing this binder which slips and slides up all the time. This morning after showering I put on a long body shaper thingy and wow...what a difference. It's tight like a binder but stays put!! I am going to wear this for the next three weeks that I am required to wear a binder. My weight continues to go UP.....to 162 now. I'm guessing this has to be water weight because I'm sure not eating more than usual. I'm going to call surgeon's assistant this morning and ask her about these things. Before I took my shower I took a good long look at my naked body in the mirror....and I look like a tall, skinny scarecrow with a smiley face on my stomach!! Ha!! I wish I could put a picture of me 2 and a half years ago beside that one and I would probably laugh my head off......what a transition.
Today it's out for a few last minute gifts and ingredients for my contribution to Christmas dinner.....a salad of some kind. I still haven't wrapped gifts, but will work on that, too......hopefully.
So much happening in so many of your lives....and I always am warmed by reading what everyone is doing. It's a marvelous way to begin the day. I hope you are all safe, warm and enjoying the holiday season. I know it can be tough on some, and for those of you struggling....remember your little family right here....always available with open arms.
Happy Monday.......love Mondays! New beginnings and all that!!

Good Afternoon George and my OFF family,
I know I have been missing in action for a while now. I have been sitting in the hospital with my mom. We spent from 11 am to 6 pm in the ER on Sat. and they finally decided to admit her. She has diviticulitis and her white count was up so the felt that she needed some high powered antibiotics. She could not keep anything on her stomach. She is 80 and I think she is ready to give up on life. My stress level is up to the upper limits I think. I know that I am a stress eater and have been trying to be good. I haven't gained anything but haven't lost anything either. This too shall pass........ I am still hoping to go to Va Beach to have Christmas with the grandchildren. We will see. We will have Christmas with mom on the Sunday, Dec 28th.
I have most of my shopping done, but I have so much cooking to do. My son requested 2 Bourbon, Pecan and Cream Cheese Pound Cakes, My oldest grandson Key Lime Pies, and my youngest granddaughter, Macaroni Salad. My friend in VA Beach asked me to make the dressing for Christmas Dinner also. Soooo....... I have to do all of that and take care of Mom. Wish me luck.
Merry Christmas to all and Happy New Year!!
Hugs,
