Thursday Morning! What's new?

Good Morning OFF! 
Well it's Thursday morning and here we are again!  Not a whole lot going on up here besides the new life I am living!  Today is work then I think we will be hitting the pool for a work out there. 
So what's new with you?

Good Morning Debbie & OFF:

Back to work today.  My staycation to pack up the house is over.  I could use another two weeks off.  I'm about 1/8 of the way packed.  This is tough.  With this weather, not sure if construction is going to begin the end of the month or if we are going to have to wait a bit longer. 

Went to coding class last night then came home and right to bed.  I am exhausted.

Today work till 4 unless there is something bubbling over, not sure what I'm going to walk into yet since my project was supposed to hit the mail Tuesday so I might be going back to a ton of faxes that have to be researched and distributed.

After work - home to get on the treadmill, then bed.

Hope everyone has a warm safe day.

Ida

I have to say it "Good Evening All".  It's Thursday night here and the good thing about that is that it is Friday tomorrow and I have the weekend off.

Hubby is working on Saturday and golfing on Sunday.  I will be doing the bookwork at home on Saturday and on Sunday I am hitting the big shops in the hope that I can find a bra for these flattening pancakes of mine.

Had an appointment with the surgeon last Tuesday and boy was he pleased with me. Mind you, I am pleased with me too even though I don't seem to have lost much weight recently.  A stall for sure but I don't care.  All my bloods came back great too so it was a very enjoyable consultation and I don't see him again until July by which time I should have lost a whole lot more again and be not too far from goal.

The weather here has improved with the rain staying away although I believe we had quite an electrical storm last night.  I slept through it which is really unusual for me.  I am sure you have all seen the damage the floods have done across Australia.  It didn't stop with the state of Queensland but continued down our whole east coast.  What an amazing few weeks it has been.

I am going to try and upload a photo of me.  I figure it's about time my american buddies got to see what I look like.  I don't think I have an individual photo but I do have one of my husband and I taken on Xmas Day.  Will see how I go.

Bye now.

Jules

I continue to pray for all those affected by the rains, the video has shown such destruction.
Are you using a tape measure to track your loss? I found this a very good tool for me. When the scale did not move the tape proved to me that I really was shrinking.
Continued success on your journey. Hugs Monica

Good morning Debbie and all,

I am up earlier than usual so I can go in to work early and leave early tomorrow so I can go to mom and dad's care plan conference.

Now if I can keep my eyes open at work to get the work done!

Jules, congrats on your weight loss! This time for you is very exciting and will keep getting even better!!

Not much new here, I am reading Johnathan Franzens newer novel "Freedom" and I am really liking it. I'm sad it's almost finished.

It's 24 degrees this morning which is OK with me, better walking to the car as the warmer weather was making the back yard a mud hole. If I step on a dog poop, it's frozen so no worries today!

Have a loverly day!
Cheryl

Good morning Debbie and OFF family,
Yeah...it's almost Friday! Looking forward to the weekend and not coming to work.
We are suppose to get snow around 2pm. Not going to the gym after work, will work out at home.

Take care, be safe out there and do something fun today! Hugs Debbie

Morning. Hey sober now 78 days and so proud of me!
We are going to Disney today, daughter and family flying down, and we are meeting them there for a visit. Excited much oh yes!!
As per Stupid Monica Trickville, I am OCDing about the travel and "what ifs". Trying extra hard to be calm and go with the flow.
Hugs and prayers to all. Keep me in yours please. Monica

Monica, Have fun, celebrate life, sobriety, and family. And keep in mind that those "what ifs" just might be WONDERFUL AND FUN "what ifs" and not ones that are cause for fear! Have a great time.

Good Morning Debbie, Ida, Jules, Cheryl, Monica and those to come. . .

I am at work, typing at you all, was here last night until 9 p.m., things are busy for sure. . .

Update on Roxie is that she had a very bad hot spot on the right side of her neck, after the vet shaved it, she had the beginnings of an infection :( so she is on a regime of antibiotics and some kind of antihistiamine and the vet told me about a natural supplement that should help with her itching once we get this cleared up, as opposed to steriodial treatment. The meds she is on right now make her sleepy, but she is not scratching hardly at all and she is such a sweetie, she was pretty good for the vet and when all was done, she just snuggled up in bed next to me and they tell us we give our animals human attributes, well I got to say, I can just feel the love and trust that this dog has placed in me and it makes my heart glad. . . missing Dil has not gone away, but Roxie has definitely brought a new joy to life and in the deepest part of my heart I believe Dil sent her to me. . .

There are still many challenges both at work and home, but I am taking it all a day at a time and letting things play out the way they will, the reading today is about goal setting and doing things to get to the goal and it hit the mark big time for me, I know fear is blocking me, not to mention there is much to do to get to that place of knowing what the right thing to do is and I am bogged down right now with the things that are presently draining my energy, both work and home related, all will pass and I will focus on doing the things necessary to seeing whether or not I can pull off the idea in my head.

Thanks for being here and your friendships are meaningful. . .

Wishing peace and strength to all in need. . .

Laureen

Glad Roxie got some relief. I know what you mean about Dil sending her to you ... I feel the same about Juliette. I think Scooter sent her and her former mommy, Patricia, into my life, at a time I was lonely and sad.
