Just another manic Monday!
That was a song, right?
Greetings one and all!
Was busy over the weekend. The weather here yesterday was absolutely beautiful.
Worked in the yard all day and evening. It felt so good, digging in the dirt. It is a wonderful thing and so peaceful. It seems your brain goes in another mode.
Have lots of running around to do today. Hopefully, I can have some time to play outside.
I seem to be in a stall with my weight. I have been off of it for a few days. Just eating some black licorice. Ugh... I love the stuff. The good licorice, not the cheap kind such as twizzlers.
I don't want to fall into old habits.
Yesterday, I tried a piece of egg foo yong and guess what. It all came back up. Guess I can't eat it.
Well, I have to get some housework done before I leave today.
Have a great day!
Peace

Good Morning Mary!
I think that you would love to get away to San Francisco- you are my "hippie" sis...I could take you to Haight/Ashbury (we didn't get there did we Janet/Candy?) Of course you'll have to wait for me to get a car! I also might need a few days to get used to driving those SF hills again. Seriously, I intend to go right back to my accident spot to desensitize myself before I let the fear get too big. I think I will be test driving a car in about a week. I can feel myself healing. I actually started a load of clothes before bed last night- that's a first.
My Mom came over last night and just cried and cried. Poor thing - she has been through so much with us kids. My brother Jim was paralyzed in a car accident and my other brother died 20 years ago of AIDS. I had the cancer thing and now this. I told my Mom- don't worry, I'm a tough old bird, I just bounce- we both laughed hard at that. I truly am feeling better. I just got up to take my pills- the night is the most painful time- don't know why. Today my daughter is taking me to my office. I left my datebook on my desk and it has my life in it. So I'll just go in and say hello to my colleagues and children... I will not be back to work this school year. School is out this Friday and I'm not quite healed enough to work yet. But I'm proud of myself. I have handled this roller coaster with grace and courage. I am taking care of myself and crying when I need to, but I am also oh so grateful for the life that I have...
On the yucky side- last night I think I pulled the last of the glass and blood that had hidden in my hair. Then I took three of my sweaters (favorites, mind you!) that had been in the trunk and fallen out during the accident, and hand picked out dozens of stickers, thistles, etc. that were lodged into every section. They were also filthy- one had blood (I have no idea how my blood got in the trunk), one had oil... but lots of stickers. I'm washing them now to see if they can be saved. I haven't looked at my clothes yet- the shirt I had on was bloody- I'll wait a bit to look at that. Today on the way to work we are stopping to see my car. It really did save me and I need to acknowledge that. I know that some of you will think I'm crazy, but I am not leaving stones unturned. I can't lock this away in my brain- nothing stays locked away. Facing it head-on is smarter for me. My friend Kim said to get the shot that takes the memory away completely. But that would not be my style at this point in my life.
Gosh- I do ramble don't I? Sorry to get so wordy. I was just waiting for my drugs to kick in and they have. I have a few more hours of sleep to get in.
Happy MONDAY to all of you!

Julia - so glad to hear you are healing. It sounds like you and your mom had some healing to do together. I certainly understand why she was so upset given the history of your brothers.

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.

Hi MaryMargaret and OFF family,
I too had a busy weekend and man was it hot here in Michigan! I enjoyed it though and the weekend flew by fast and furious as always.
Hubby is going 4-wheeling with his buddies in Kentucky leaving Thursday and coming back Monday. I will enjoy the peace and quiet and read a book and relax! Whhhooooo!! It's the little things in life that relax us and hey it's free. LOL
I asked hubby to put up our little/medium size pool for the grandkids (and me too) to play in since it's so hot.
Hugs and prayers to everyone in need. Went to church Sunday and the Youth Group lead the service, 4 graduated from high school.

It was a wonderful weekend -- my granddaughter's wedding was just beautiful. Saw so many people I hadn't seen in a long while.....got several comments about how I looked good.
Sunday was a day to relax and recoup. Work this morning, then need to take van over to have front left wheel checked out -- son said it sounded like the bearing was going out. Going on a long trip next weekend to my brothers so need to have that fixed.
Gonna be """"hot"""" here this week....

Done! Your Ticker:
Pat, glad you had fun at your granddaughter's wedding, I'm sure you looked beautiful with that gorgeous smile and personality to boot! You shine girl!!
I can't believe how hot it is here in Michigan, we are setting records. I think we are in for a long hot summer. I still need to plant some tomato plants and other veggies.
Have fun seeing your brothers, glad you are getting the car fixed for the trip! You don't want any breakdowns on your ride...especially in this weather. Hugs Debbie
Pat,
Glad you enjoyed the wedding, now hope to see some pictures of you all guzzied up. . .
Have a great day and stay cool, I know, this weather is kind of awful, no chance to adjust, cool or hot. . .yuk!

Good morning Mary and OFF,
LOL - love the song by Wilson-Phillips, Manic Monday!
Our daughter will leave today to go back to NY, but she's coming home again Friday for the holiday weekend. I love it when she comes for a visit.
The Pouch Party went great, had a good turnout, and the food was delicous. We had too much food -- I prepared a three-bean salad with and without shrimp and had fresh pineapple to grill, and forgot to even serve that. Everyone was so full, we never did make the protein peanut butter ice cream - lol - it was a good time!
Well, I'd better get back to work. I have a piano lesson at 3 today, and the piano tuner is coming at 6 this evening. I have an interview tomorrow with a new piano teacher....I think it may be time for a change, so we'll see.
Have a great day everyone!
Debbie

I'm off to Kansas City for my post-op visit. I'm going to stop in St. Joseph at Kohl's and get some new tennies. I'm going to start walking and I think I need to start out with a new pair.
My DH needs to work today so I'll go by myself. I don't mind. Since I know my way to the doctor's office, I'm comfortable driving there. If I didn't know where I was going, I wouldn't like it so much. It takes 2 hours to get there so the day will be shot by the time I get home. I'll stop in Maryville, MO on the way home at Walmart and pick up a few things.

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.
