What's New Tuesday?
Man, the sun is shining and in a few minutes I will have to close my shades so I will be able to see my computer screen...I love this! Sunshine! Michiganders understand me here! LOL
Today I'm serving Ministry with Community lunch for the homeless. Makes me humble and very grateful for what I have in my life.
Hubby is having a root canal this morning. I have never had one so I don't know what to expect.
I went to have my teeth cleaned yesterday and will have to have a crown for a filling that came out during the teeth cleaning. At least it happened in the dentist office. It was a toss up last year...to try a filling or crown. Tried the filling...oops now it's crown time...does this make me a queen? LOL
Today I'm going to the gym after work, doing weight lifting class. Take care everyone, have a special day. Connie, I'm sending you a hug and special thanks to Laureen for the wonderful post she sent to us today! Hugs Debbie
Hope nothing is amiss with your world. . .
I am feeling better today, though I started out with angry, hurt feelings, I quickly adjusted the sails and realized that there is nothing I can do more than I am doing and if people want to act like asses, then that makes them an ass and I can't control it, however, because it is in my home, there are moments when I just want to walk out the door and never look back. . . hoping that by the 28th all will be finished, if not, well I will take legal action to get her out the door. . . sad, so damn sad. . .
Anyway, that's the drama in my life, otherwise things are ok, work has gotten tons better since the leaving of the front desk nasty, almost 3 months ago, now I just have one person who is a gnat, but I'm killing her with kindness and it seems to be working, the main people love me and I have just gotten a new assignment and he seems to be a real nice guy, so let's keep our fingers crossed and maybe I will be able to live with this job until retirement age, or until, if I can find the courage to do it, start up my own little money making thing, working with doggies. . .
I choose to have a good day and focus on the gifts of health and the joys of having people in my life who are supportive and loving. I choose to make right choices in all that I put into my body today and I will do some kind of physical activity as well.
Wishing you all peace and strength to get through lifes challenges, Laureen
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

Well today I have a dentist appt. Lost my dental ins. a few years ago & haven't been since.It has finally gotten to a point That I can't deal with the pain anymore. I have been in the hospital 3 times in the last 18 mos. for different things & I believe some of the meds have contributed to this condition.
I also know none of this has to do with my WLS. If you think maybe a little prayer will help. Hope you all have a wonderful day & know even though I don't post much I do have you all in my thoughts & prayers every day.

Hey Janet!!! OFF Family!!! MORNING!!!! :-)
Janet...LOVE your new photo you have here!!!!
Well it is nice to be back here again!!!! :-) I missed posting!!! Nice that some of you have also missed me posting as well!!!!
Weather here has been cold and then we had a few nice days that actually were nice and seemed warm!! Then the cold air hit again. Right now its 24*. Yesterday I had Bandit out for his potty walk and I slipped on the dam ice! I wrenched my back right in the area of where I had the blocks done and now this morning its in my hip area. I hurt!!!!!!! Thinking of calling off work for tonight. Hurts to walk and also sit. Hurts even more when I lift something.
Rick got some great news yesterday!! He is all caught up in his child support and he is DONE paying it!!!!!! No more child support!!!!!!! YIPPPEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! I have never seen him so happy as he was when he told me!! All that his ex put him through over the years...OMG!!! And now its over!!!!! :-)
My oldest son is coming for a visit with his two girls in April!! I can't wait to see them again!!! I have talked with them on FB a few times and they are also looking forward to coming here to see me again. :-) Just makes me wonder what their mother thinks about this. She was a part of me and my son not speaking for so many years. But she is no longer in my son's life as a wife and that is GOOD!!! He finally saw in her what I did years ago...but that is another story.
Well I am rambling on and on here so I better stop now or I will be writing a book here...lol. Have a good day everyone and again I am glad to be back posting again!!!
HUGS
I feel like I've dropped into the middle of a novel without knowing the beginning! Laureen, I don't know what you're situation is, but I hope it improves! Nan, take a deep breath! The dentist visit will be okay. Little prayer said! (wink!)
Today I am anxiously awaiting a call from my surgeon's office. When I went to the hospital last week for my pre-ops, they called and said they found a spot on my lung in the chest x-ray. Wanted me to have a CT scan done, so I did that on Friday. STILL no word on what the CT scan showed! Grrrr! I've called and left messages and I've emailed. I'm giving them one more hour, and then I'm going to get on the phone and demand to talk to a person, not a machine!
So, no, I don't smoke. But I grew up with a smoker and I married a smoker. Still, odds are the spot is just a bit of scar tissue or something. I just want to KNOW! Damn medical staff. If it was one of them, you can bet they would find out right away.
Looking forward to my DH returning home on Thursday. He's been gone since Jan 14th--more than a month now. I'm ready for him to come home. (He works in offshore drilling; currently working out of Saudi.)
This is Day Seven of the pre-op diet. I'm hanging in there. Just 7 more days to go 'til surgery!
Have a good day everyone!
