WHAT'S NEW FOR SATURDAY!!!
Good morning Janet, Jo and OFF friends,
Working on stats this morning, doing some laundry, and not sure what's happening after I finish work. Tonight DH is having a jam session with some guys in our garage which he turned into a music studio. I'd like to take my granddaughter to see Beauty and the Beast tonight at the York Little Theater, but we'll see how that pans out.
Have a great Saturday everyone!

Not sure what happened but suddenly I posted before I was done! go figure! I am getting out of the rescue biz for a while-at least while in school. between work, school and home responsabilites (which haven't been done) I don't have any time for anything else. Today I plan to get the outside ready for winter amd finish up this weeks school tasks. Tomorrow I clean house and work on Christmas gifts I hope!
Have a good day all!

Good Morning Janet, Debbie, Jo, Debbie & OFFr's,
Nice to see your faces this morning, aah gotta love that dysfunctional "family" now don't yah. . .
Well I'm up, showered, put together a pan of french toast caserole that a friend of mine made, though I did not realize it had to sit in the fridge overnight, so guess it will be made tomorrow :( but since Tony is coming does not matter much, oops there he is. . .
Got stuff to share with you all, but I'll do it later,
Have a great day!

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 all!
I've not joined in for quite a while, but I've been lurking and am glad to have you all there. I've not gone to a support group meeting yet; not even contacted them. The surgery almost 3 months ago has really thrown me for a loop. I've been depressed and having diarrhea 2-8 times a day; not the best way to live. I've felt like a wrung out cloth for days on end. Nothing has seemed to help. It took a week less than 3 months for me to get an appointment with a gastroenterologist...something I was told to do immediately upon leaving the hospital! Yeah, right! Then she wanted to do a zillion tests, including a colonoscopy, for which I have to wait until January! This has gotten downright discouraging. The bright spot is that I managed to get an appointment with a nutritionist yesterday. Don't know if any of her help will fix anything but at least she's optimistic and I'm quite ready to try whatever it takes to feel better. Despite all of this chaos in my body, I've managed to walk the dog 2 miles every day, started going to a water exercise group this week, and joined a yoga class that started last Saturday. On top of all this, I'm off to do a triathalon this morning! Not sure I can do it...in fact bloody sure I can't with all the necessary potty breaks...but I'm gonna try. It's a new adventure for me, never having done much in the jock-like category. Anyway, all this getting around has helped my mood and I'm not so down in the dumps the past few days. Without starting to exercise I'd probably be suicidal by now, not just having crying jags in the bathroom. Whatever. Will let you know how the triathalon goes...if I'm still breathing. lol
Hope you all have a great weekend.

Daffy,
First of all, I'm glad you reached out to us. Its not always easy to do when in the midst of depression. I have found the information on this board to be better than what I get from my Dr's. Yes, consult with the medical personnel but remember we too have gone through the same things. I'm surprised at the length of time it takes to get an app. Sounds like the military hospital I go to.
Some of your depression may be due to the changes going on in your body. You might be deficient on a vitamin.... even though you take a multi.
Good luck on your triathlon.... you must be living somewhere warm....
Keep posting with us. That is always a good way to feel better.

But do you put the FUN in dysfunctional? I'd bet you do! Are you starting to feel better yet?
Well, today is the day I thought I could never see. I weighed in at 130 this morning....my drop dead "time to freak out, now I've screwed this up too" weight. Most reasonable people wouldn't freak out over 5 lbs, but I'm sure you all understand my distress. I know I may not be getting in enough calories, so I'm going to do my level best to try to increase back up to my required 1400 per day per my nut. I've only been averaging 1200 a day for the last two months, which is about the time the gain started.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them.
Okay, off to get ready for work. Hope everyone is well, and prayers and good thoughts going out to those in need.

Good morning everyone and to those to follow.
I talked to the vet yesterday and they are waiting for one of the blood samples to come back. He thinks the dog has lung cancer. He is lethargic and doesn't want to eat and is panting quite a bit. I don't have the money to save him, and he is over 15 years old. It is heartbreaking. I don't want him to suffer.
The weather here has been fairly nice for Nov. Sunny and in the 50's. I wish snow would stay away. I wouldn't care if I ever saw a snowflake again. I must tell my husband that everyday. He just says what can he do about it. Damnit, let's move to a warmer climate.. There is nothing I like about winter. Nothing, period, zilch.
Working on the house to get it as ready as I can for Thanksgiving. We ripped out the living and dining room carpeting it was so old that the foam had crubmbled under it. Now we don't have carpeting. It is weird and ugly. Have to wait until I Can afford it. I guess in the scheme of things that is minor. I could have bigger problems.
I know this is long this morning. Just wanted to keep typing, don't know why!
Have a great Saturday everyone..
