Saturday - Good Morning OFFr's - Whatcha doing today?
Laureen, thanks for the chuckle. I loved it.
Connie, I have you in my prayers. I understand your feelings. I felt the same way when both of my brothers passed away, at different times. It is so devastating and sudden. God will get you through this, and as has been said, a piece of those we love and lose stays with us, and comforts us. Try to get some rest.
Friday was good for me. I am slowly making progress in my packing. My big move is two weeks from today.
I finally called and made my five year post-op appointment. I also called a friend from OA and asked her to sponsor me. I dug out the nutritional guidelines from my surgeon, and put together a menu for today that is as close to his guidelines as possible. I am making a commitment to no sugar, and today will be day one.
I am heading first to an AA meeting, and then to an OA meeting this morning. I also want to go to the Amish Farmers Market and get some food there. Then, home to do some packing. Tonight, I am going to a prayer meeting at a friend's house.
I am getting used to the boot, praise the Lord. I just wish Utley would not try to pull me as much. I guess if I had trained him better, he would not do that as much. Fortunately, he is not too big, and not too strong.
Sorry to babble.
Hugs,

Good Morning Laureen and OFF-
Well I rolled out of bed early today and have already completed my walk and presently I'm sipping my water and taking my pills.
Thoughts will be for Connie D. today. Connie try to get some rest if possible.
Today I will go to the big city to the farmer's market and quilt show. Also have to make a quick stop at Walmart for some supplies.
Yesterday Brunhilda gave me a lesson in eating too quickly. She gave me the pain lesson and I had to do some walking to get things to settle down. Have got to slow down and savor the bites, not chug the food.
Worked on the retirement quilt yesterday and finished another section. Rinsed more fabric for another block tomorrow. Taking a break today as it is really muggy and I want to go to the big city.
Laureen, thanks for the joke. When I buy cat food I'm going to think of this.
Monica you should be proud of your continued sobriety.
Morgan and Connie D. will be in my thoughts today.

Good Morning Laureen and everyone to come. Enjoying a few days at the beach. Beautiful weather. Life is good. My thigh lift surgery is this coming Tuesday. I'm a bit nervous but looking forward to having it done with. If the only improvement is the removal of these hanging bags of excess skin in my upper thigh area that will be enough.
Connie, I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Any loss is h ard but when it is so unexpected it seems doubly so.
I need coffee. It was so nice to see Windy Pat post this morning. I have such fond memories of her when I first started visiting OFF in 2004.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I did like your story this AM. How funny,
Connie, Know that you are in my heart and mind. Special prayers for you.
Monica, 292 days!!!!! That is super. When I go to Indiana there is always lots of alcohol around. This will be my first big test. I have a positive attitude and you are my strength and support.
I am busy with laundry and packing. Tonight is our worship service. And we are going to a party from 3PM to 5PM. Better get moving this AM. Not much time left. Monday is already busy.
Hugs to all, Mag
Morning Laureen and OFF family!!!
Nice day here so far today but calling for storm(s) later tonight...I am hurting again today...still think I am getting Fibro and dr still tells me I am not! Why is it some day I am fine and others I am not??? HMMM??? I hurt so bad last night I could not sleep...I hurt yet today and I work 1-9 today and have to close up and that means even more hurt tonight!!! Vicodin does NOT help at all with this pain!!! Guess I call the pain dr monday and see what he can do for me. I can't deal with this anymore.
Got my Citracal yesterday and started taking it for my bone loss. Hopefully that will help me. Made a vow to take my vitamins EVERY day!!!
Nothing new here my mind isn't working good right now I hurt so will get going...prayers and thoughts going out to those that need them....HUGS
I've seen that joke before ... still made me laugh.
Low-key night at work ... we began working on a football tab, so I didn't have any deadline pages. One woman decided to order out Chinese, so we all did ... we had one huge order. The woman at the Chinese place got it all right (she's amazing ... she's so nice, I go there often and she's a sweetie). So now I have leftovers for lunch.
Got up too early when the phone rang ... it was the salesman at the auto dealership asking how my car was. Great, the birds have pooped on it and it smells like Chinese food now ... but it's my car (well, it's being financed now). Love it.
Body hurts, it's 98 degrees and feels like 108 ... legs are all swollen from who knows what. Not the ankles, around the knees on both sides. Otherwise, I'm good, just the usual stuff. And no, it's not the MSG ... that place doesn't use it.
Applied for a couple more jobs online this morning; I do this at least a couple times a week. Anyway, not much else happening. My nephew and his family are up visiting my family in Chicago, introducing Alexander to the family ... both sides, the Briesches and my brother's ex's family, the Olsons.
Well, have a good day.
