Hi Sue and my OFF family:

Wow, tomorrow's your big day! I wasn't nervous before my surgery nearly six years ago, just eager to begin my new life. I have never met Dr. Baker, but I hear he's great. I too have weird dreams from general anesthesia. I dreamt Dr. Foote said he did a lap band ... they didn't even do those back then!

I was really lazy yesterday ... just vegged most of the day. I did finally get some of the Easter stuff put away only because I got sick of looking at it, but I still have some more to put away. I've just been so tired since I got back from my trip. I want to go to the pool today but I woke up with a headache ... it's kinda gone now, but not altogether. And then I just feel out of it after it's gone. I might have to stick my head under the shower. Sometimes that helps.

Other than that, no big plans for today ... if I go to the pool, then I'll be home and maybe get some more Easter stuff put away. I want to work on getting my vacation photos organized and uploaded. It's a lengthy process.

Well, have a good day.

Hi Sue and all my OFF friends,
I had a great time with my sisters on Sat.  We went to the Mohegan Sun casino.  They had an offer that if you play $10 they gave you $20 to play with.  So for ten dollars we played from 10:30 to 1:00 p.m.  Then we went to the buffet for lunch.  After lunch we decided to play again.  I like the poker slots - at least there is some decision making and you don't feel like you are just feeding the machine.  I won $51 so that covered my day with $13 profit.  Then we decided to stop at an outlet mall on the way home instead of doing the shops at Mohegan sun.  I got a set of tongs with the silicon ends so I can use them in my teflon fry pans.  We were home by seven.  It was a great day for talking and catching up with each other.
Sunday I did laundry and went grocery shopping.  The weekend was nice weather, hot and in the 80s.  Today its 70 and pouring rain.  We've had a dry spell so we need the rain.
This week is our Troop, Pack and Venture Crews 86th Gang Show.  It's the longest running Gang Show in the world.  It's like a minstrel show from the 1930s. Lots of singing, skits and jokes.  2 1/2 hours of entertainment.  My Tiger Cubs are singing Take Me Out To The Ball Game.  Since the Whiffle Ball factory is in our town, they gave us a box full of balls to throw into the audience while they perform.  What fun it will be.  We do two shows, Fri. & Sat. night.
Work has calmed down, thank goodness.  I was exhausted for a week there.
Made my appt. to see my WL surgeon June 8 so when I went grocery shopping yesterday I stocked up on all the foods that result in a weight loss for me.  I'm also going to hit the gym at lunch hour.
Hubby did something nice just for me.  He got me a vanity license plate the says TGR CUB and is on the "Keep Kids Safe" design plate.  I was thrilled.
I hope everyone has a great week.
Bev

Sue,

I am sorry that you were having sad thoughts about the passing of your daughter, that sort of pain never leaves one, not that I've experienced it firsthand, but I have seen close friends experience it. . .  anyway, I wanted to wish you the best tomorrow as you move towards healthier living! 

Hugs, Laureen
