Sunday What's Up?
Hi Trish and my OFF family:
I had some problems sleeping last night ... kept waking up sweating ... don't know why I'm doing this. I finally put the ceiling fan on. Strange to do this in winter, but it helped. It was in the 40s outside so I didn't want to put on my a/c. Then I finally started to sleep soundly and the phone woke me up at 8:30 ... then I couldn't get back to sleep, so I just got up. Had my protein shake, read the paper (what was in it ... wow, we had a lot of ads, not much news) and the inserts and then talked with my cat friend, Patricia for awhile. Now have a pot of Christmas Blend Espresso Roast.
Today is my family's Christmas gathering. I had taken off this week to go to it, before I got the new job. Then I decided not to go, gave back the week of vacation so I could just get the money instead ... it'll help in the long run. But I'm feeling a little blue missing my family's gathering. I hope I'll get to see everyone on Skype (they're at my mom's so my brother promised to leave on his computer).
I did some more packing yesterday, made chicken and rice so I got rid of my chicken thighs (well, I will once I eat them all) ... the entertainment center is cleared out except for the Christmas movies. I'm determined to pack a couple of boxes everyday, no matter how much it hurts my back.
Anyway, have a good day. Happy 40th anniversary, Karen and Mike; Judy, hope your trip home is good.

Eileen...since moving here to a place we both love, sleep happens good for us both!! And NO pills either!!! Hopefully your move will be just what you need for a great sleep!!!
BTW you never said how they reacted on your leaving them. How did that go?
Looking forward to the trip home friday! Will be nice seeing my family again!!! :-)

They weren't surprised, Judy. I had told my boss I was looking; she wasn't surprised since they didn't seem to give us any guarantees there would be jobs in the new "design studios" setups. Three other people gave notice, too. Two left this week, then me and another next week. It's going to be tough on them.
Judy, I always have problems sleeping at times ... goes with fibro. I have good nights and bad nights. sometimes the drugs work; sometimes they don't.

Have you ever tried the HEATED MATTRESS COVER? I bought one and man that helped my pain and Ricks also!! Can adjust the heat however you like it. They really aren't that expensive. I have a queen size bed and I found one for $60. Best purchase I ever made!!! Works alot better than a heating pad because its your whole body that gets the heat you need for the pain. Told my pain dr about it and he said GREAT!!! So if you don't have one yet...get one and see what I mean!!
Well hope they miss you and realize what they lost on treating you so crappy!!!!

Good morning OFF sistas! (I can still say that for 5 more minutes!)
I can't believe it's almost noon. I've been trying to post on here for the last couple of hours. Oh, well, I can't really complain. I got to talk to Butch for almost an hour this morning. That was a real treat. And I needed it. I've just been missing him so much. He's been gone 1 week today. Just 4 more weeks to go. Sigh.
So, yesterday was a long travel day. I have to confess: these long travel days are NOT good food days for me. I was actually afraid to get on the scale this morning, although rationally I know that one day of bad food choices cannot undo 10 months of weight loss. Still I was stunned to get on the scale and see that I didn't gain 5 lbs yesterday! So, back on the wagon again today. This morning I had a Greek yogurt with some All Bran sprinkled in it. And I just had a scrambled egg with cheese on a whole wheat bagel thin for lunch.
Besides that, Mag is putting the pressure on me! LOL! Can't let her catch me!
Well, youngest daughter certainly left me a mess to clean up. Don't know why I expected anything else from her. This is the way she has been her whole life. I guess it doesn't really matter. I needed to clean house this week anyway. I'm determined to get back to where I take some pride in my house again. I used to keep such pretty clean house. I look around this house now, and I just cringe. How did I ever let it come to this? Oh, I don't mean I look like those shows on TV with the filthy houses or the hoarder houses. But I need to take back control before the dust bunnies run me out of here!
I have another confession today. I opened my Christmas present early last week. I bought us all new Nook Tablets and I took mine out of the box last week. Oh wow! This thing is terrific! I am loving it. I'll have to wrap it back up and put it in the present pile next weekend, but it is just the neatest thing. I am listening to the Pandora Radio this morning. Am I the last person to discover this? You can type in your favorite artist and Pandora will build you a customized radio station around that style/era/genre of music. This morning I typed in Ray Price and I am in love. I like old traditional country music. It reminds me of my daddy, who I am missing greatly these days.
Well, I'd better get on with my rat killin', as my old Mammaw used to say. Don't know where that particular expression comes from, but she used to say it all the time. I sure am missing all my dear departed ones today. Holiday blues, I guess.
Love you all!
