What's New, Tuesday?????
Wow, where is everyone today? Happy St. Patrick's Day. Are you all wearing green? My Grandma used to say WE had to wear orange, because we were from Northern Ireland. I still wore green. It was too hard to explain the orange!
It rained most of yesterday and I hope it is over now. My DH and I went to Costco and spent more money than we should have. But how do you get out of that place without spending $100's?
Listening to the news and this AIG thing has us squirrelly. My DH's 401K was rolled over to a 6 year AIG annuity 5 years ago. I know they are FDIC insured, so if it all goes bust, he will keep his original investment. But I hate to think of him losing 6 years of 3% interest!!
Hope everyone has a fantabulous day!

Wow Candy, what a long day for you!
I took the day off, all but for one client who doesn't understand people taking days off. She'd give me heck for it, so I'll just go do her (30 minute shampoo/blow dry) and be on my merry way. I never got to the licensing offices yesterday, so I HAVE to do it today. Not much more I dislike than going to government offices...any kind. But, it's something I can't hold off doing any longer. So....off I go.
After that, I'd like to do some shopping, but will probably come home and do some Bellaness. Always bottles to fill or label.
Not much else going on. Still missing the fact of not making corned beef today. It just ain't right, I tell you! Tacos....that's what Gary wants for dinner. Just ain't right. He's Irish and Mexican, so why does he want to celebrate the other half today? I suppose I'll be doing the corned beef on Cinco de Mayo? The man's confused I tell you!
Everyone have a dandy day!

As for me....another day getting the grandchildren up and ready for school. One is in the bathtub and one is in the shower. Lucas spent the at his dad's.

As for me...another work day.I have a bunch of letters that I need to get sent out to clients.
After school I have to take Amanda (granddaughter) to get her gown altered. She is attending a celebration...Quinceanera for her friend's 15th birthday.

Well a Happy St. Patty's Day to all, this is first time in many years that I have not been near the parade in NYC, as I worked on 5th Avenue, right near to St. Patrick's Cathedral and it was always a zoo on St. Patty's Day, actually I had some headhunter's in the City who wanted me to come in today and I told them I'd rather do it on Wednesday. . .
My life is a roller coaster ride these days, searching for job postings and sending out resumes and being unemployed right now is different than at any other time in my life, which has not ever been that often to begin with, but now it is really tough out there, but I continue to work the computer and tomorrow I will take the train into Manhattan to meet with a couple of headhunters and hopefully in time that will get me a result. Also want to meet with some in Phillie, as I am not ruling out any market. On Friday there is a Job Fair at the Crowne Plaza in Cherry Hill, so I will attend that and see what connections I might make there.
Well yesterday marked 17 months post-op and I dropped another two pounds this month, seems I lose about 2 lbs. a month now, which is still a loss and I am now 8 lbs. from my goal and 4 lbs. until I can claim my Century card, as my highest weight was 254 exactly two years ago. It's been unbelievable and here I am at the most stressful time in my recent life and I am not eating my way through it all. I've changed my life for the better, but I also want to acknowledge that just like alcoholism, it is a one day at a time thing.
Today, Tony is coming down to visit me and Dillinger, who by the way, is pretty much himself these days, and later today I will be going to my son's house to make corned beef and cabbage, as that is one of his favorite childhood memory meals and on Saturday he called me to ask when I was making it for him (lol). . . he's a pain in my rear at times, but I'm glad he and his family are close by now. ..
Have a great day!
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

good morning to all and a happy st pattys day as well
there will be no corned beef and cabbage here either, bob just refuses to eat it, and no sense to cook it just for me.
anyway, i slept in a bit, cause my ankle was killing me after physical therapy yesterday. this is painful stuff but i know i have to endure if i want to walk again. it really is time to get this butt out of the wheelchair, but damn it hurts.
anyway, no big plans for today, will see what the day brings
be safe and well everyone, jacki

Jacki, just do the best that you can and know that is going to bring the end of this disaster to you.
I know that it is an awful thing to go through but know that working toward the goal is another day closer to the goal.
To an extent I understand since I have gone through things kind of like what you are with the things that are wrong with my back. There has been times that the only thing I could do was get up and go to the bathroom and that was with a walker. It is terrible but know there is an end to it. The end might not be as close as we want but the end will come.
I am sending you love and hugs to help through this.

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

After two knee replacement surgeries on the same knee, I sure know what you're going through. The PT can hurt, but keep it up. It will pay off. My knee is bothering me too at times, and I sure don't want to exercise it, but I do it anyway, because if I don't, it's going to hurt more in the long run.
Be sure to take your painkillers before and after PT. You'll feel better and be able to exercise more.

I planned to work after Tom's colonoscopy but he was too goofy to leave alone. He wanted bacon so I had to stop at the grocery store. He insisted on coming in the store with me. Good grief, he kept wandering through the aisles, all confused and staggering. Today he has no recollection of his antics.
The insurance nightmare continues. At last, I have an insurance advocate to help muddle through this mess. Each call to Medicare or BC-BS has resulted in different advice. The frustration has been unbearable. The advocate will handle the issues.
One stack of paperwork showed the total amount of $$ which BC BS is expecting the providers to REPAY. In 2007 my medical claims were over one MILLION dollars. Tom thought I was exaggerating until I showed him the itemized account. All of which will be covered by Medicare ... eventually, but now we are receiving bills. Yeah, I said OH **** and worse!!!!!!
