I am up early, what's new in your world?
Good morning, ya'll.
The sun is streaming in the window and it is really uplifting! I was getting tired of the rain.
I am back to that exhausted feeling a few days after chemo. I slept from 6PM to 6AM. I am so lucky that I have a DH who can take care of himself, and no little kids that depend on me.
Yesterday I finally got the last of the paperwork for my Momma's taxes. Sis and I agreed that her CPA would do them. Sis trusts her and she has done Di's taxes for years. So I sent her everything via Priority Mail. I kept a copy of everything here, in case something disasterous happens! The CPA that was recommended to me to do my taxes has not returned my call. I'll try one more time, then look for someone else.
I am going to Huntersville, NC to get a fill. I still have no restriction and we all know I have no will power. I LOVE my band, when it is snug like it should be. My DH has FINALLY gotten some restriction. He just needs to learn band eating. He has been banded for a year, but he has never eaten correctly. Now he HAS to. Our oldest grandson gets married in August, and we both want to be comfortable flying, walking and participating.
Everyone have a fantabulous day!

Just a Sunday morning in snowy Des Moines. Gave the girls their Valentines gifts this morning. Woke up to more snow. I need to check the weather and see if this is supposed to keep up all day. If so, I may call my son-in-law's mom and ask her to get the girls early, so that we can get on the road for home. It's a 2 hour drive - on dry roads. We've sure enjoyed the girls. Jett will be 15 months this week. She slept all night every night. She doesn't do that for her parents. Guess g'ma is special..or she knows I'm old and can't take it. LOL
Christa (our daughter) has called twice each day from San. Francisco. Their plane is expected to arrive around 6:30 this evening... They've had a nice time, but are ready to see their girls.
Back to work tomorrow. I have to take a little longer lunch hour tomorrow to drive the 20 miles to our bank to get a cashier's check to pay my surgeon. He wants his money on Wed. when I go for my pre-op blood work, chest x-ray and EKG. I'll also pay for the BLIS insurance that day. They want either credit card or cashier's check.. I refuse to carry any more than $5,000 line of credit on my credit card, so it won't work. There really isn't a need for any more than that because when I use my CC, I always pay it off when I get the bill. I HATE paying interest. LOL
I also have to pick up a CD with my DH's recent CT scan of his lungs and kidney to take with us on the 15th when he sees the pulmonologist.
Between the two of us and all of our doctor's appointments, I thank God I have a job that pays sick leave and family sick leave. I'd be broke if it didn't!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

It's cold here too, but then I'm cold most of the time now, especially my hands and feet. No new snow here for about two weeks now. The roads are clear and I was even able to get a car wash and keep the car fairly clean for a few days now.
I hear you about shopping. When we moved up here we brought a whole freezer of food with us. I keep trying to use it up, but when we go to the store I always seem to find some sort of 'meat, fish,etc" stuff that I buy. I'm not going to get the freezer cleaned out while still doing that!
I've even got lobster tails and scallops in there. Maybe I'll use the hamburger I took out to make enchiladas with to make sloppy joes, and have the lobster and scallops for dinner instead. Sloppy joe mixture freezes well, so I'd be swapping out seafood for sloppy food in the freezer!
Kudos to you for even considering going to a hard rock band performance. I can't stand that loud hard rock stuff.
Hubby is out on the 4x4 right now going around the yard and up over snow piles. He's braver than me. I'm going to wait until it warms up some. :)

Good morning, Mary, and everyone who follows!
I woke up to sunshine and what a difference from yesterday! Although it is beautiful outside, it's also very cold! My DH and the kids went outside to shovel us out of the snow. Other neighbors were out there too and so there was a lot of good - natured calling back and forth. I'd made some hot chocolate and coffee for my gang and invited the others but no one felt like braving the snowy street, LOL. It's different in the suburbs with so much ground to cover. In the towns where I lived during other snowstorms, we were all very close together and so we'd have these snowstorm block parties. Fun!
So today my stepdaughter says she wants to come over for her visit with the little guy. She's missed the last two weeks. We'll see if she shows.
Otherwise, I'm going to read, blog and make jambalaya. Have a super Sunday, all!

Hi Mary and my OFF family:
Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I worked my last shift at the Press last night, and I've shook off those shackles. I'm free. I didn't shed a tear when I left. Well, I almost cried when my coworker Sue hugged me because she was crying ... I will miss my friends at work. But not that place. I've gotten over it. I was almost euphoric when I left. I'm so glad to be out of there. After four weeks of dealing with this, I'm happy it's over. Maybe that's stupid, but really, I'm tired ... I'm ready for the next adventure.
So today, I'm going to watch the Super Bowl, do laundry, litter boxes, clean a little ... just veg out. Already talked to my mom and my friend Mary Kay ... my post-Press adviser now, who has offered me so much emotional support, I can't begin to repay her for the times she's given me her shoulder to cry on long-distance. What a great friend she has been to me. I don't know how I would have survived this past month without her. No one else has been there for me like she has.
Hey, George, don't pitchers and catchers report soon? Baseball should be starting up soon ... this Friday, the Winter Olympics starts ... this will be one of the few times I won't have to record it. So there's a plus. I won't miss things ... like holidays and birthdays with my family, like I always did.
Well, have a good day. I'm rooting for the Saints today.
