Thursday What's Happening?
Good Morning OFF Sisters,
I woke up around 6:00, and had to pay some bills before I could get on the computer.
I have an appointment with the ENT doctor this morning, Then, tonight, I have my Ladies Bible Study. In between, I must get some cleaning done. I have been too lazy lately. Plus, I need to walk Utley, or something to get some exercise.
Have a blessed day.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Thankfully the snow is finally melting away here and I can get into a bit of walking. Post op day 10 today and miss chewing but that will come soon enough! I'm up early because I went to bed at 8 pm last night! Just couldn't keep my eyes open ....
Heres to everyone's great day! I'm so glad I made the decision to have weight loss surgery ... The scale is responding favorably .... I'm feeling better everyday!!

Keep up the good work. Mag 
Good morning Trish and BJ, and all my OFF sistas to come!
BJ, you are doing great! By all means, go to bed at 8 p.m. if you're tired. It takes awhile to fully recover your strength.
Trish, so glad you are up and walking Utley again!
I am moving pretty dang slow this morning. Yesterday I mowed, and that always gets me down in my back. I wasn't able to quite finish, either (ran out of daylight), so I have more mowing to look forward to in the next day or two. But not today. It's raining just a bit this morning, and we have to go back to the lake today. The guys are coming to set the poles for our new metal building. So I get a small break today.
Yesterday I started the laborious project of changing out all my kitchen cabinet hardware. First thing I take off the old hardware. Then I wash the cabinet door or drawer with hot soapy bleach water. Then I do any necessary touch-up painting. And finally, after it is all dry, I get to put the pretty new knobs on! Going to be a slow process I can tell.
(And I threatened my husband with bodily harm if he touches my pretty clean white cabinetry with dirty grimy hands again!!!)
Let's see, I also hung new lace curtains in one of the upstairs bedrooms yesterday. OMGoodness, I'm such a dope. I ordered these lace curtains quite some time ago, but had just never hung them. I open the packages yesterday and discovered there was only ONE lace panel in each package, not a PAIR! Well, poop! But I was so lucky. I got back on-line with the same store and they still had them, so I ordered two more panels. It's one of those deeply discounted merchandise web sites, so I was pretty lucky they still had some.
Hubby is going on down to the lake early this morning, but I get to stay here and wait for the painter to show up. He's coming to power wash the house today. Supposed to begin painting in the next couple of days. He's going to paint our porches and outside doors. Did I tell you all I decided NOT to paint over the wallpaper in the breakfast nook and kitchen? It was going to just be so expensive. The new owners can just deal with one little bit of wallpaper. And who knows? They might like it. I certainly do.
So, busy busy bees here this week. I'm doing my best not to fall into "stress eating" again. But gosh, I find myself wishing for a Coke and a Snickers bar! Coke and chocolate were always my preferred method of "self-soothing" in stressful situations. They would always calm me down and then I would feel able to cope with whatever project or deadline I was facing again. Of course I weighed almost 300 lbs . . . ! So I guess I'd rather be active and mobile again after all. I could never have done all of this work pre-surgery. I just wasn't able to move around.
I need to get going on my day. Love you all!

Good mornin' ya'll.
Vickie, you are so busy. I hope the perfect family comes and looks at your house and falls in love with it and gives you your full asking price!
Today I am trying on all of my choices for the ACMAs. My husband is probably right and I'll wind up taking everything! My poor daughter is in meetings in AZ, and then goes right to Vegas, so she had to pack for business and for fun! They are using the corp. plane so weight and space is limited. I told her she should have mailed her party clothes here and I could have taken them.
Yesterday I took my son to the Dr. to get his shot in his back. It makes his legs and butt numb so he needs a ride. Then he goes home and lays flat on the floor for a couple of hours.
I hope everyone has a fantabulous day!

Hi Trish and my OFF family:
Got the temp crown put back on yesterday ...hopefully, it stays on. Didn't do much after I got home from that ... was tired and had a headache. Actually fell asleep while eating ... soft foods, of course. Woke up with a headache, too. I think we're in for storms. We had one sudden storm yesterday but it didn't last long.
Not much going on today. I need to do laundry. I have an appointment with the physical medicine guy at the orthopedic doc's. Hopefully, he can get me some relief from my aches.
That's all that's going on. Have a good day.

....my life is boring, others like you are so much more interesting...I post here when I need info but find most of my info answers on my Ontario (Canada) Board and am pushing 67 and never reached goal so find I am out of touch with the youn guns who lose 50 lbs in their first month and wonder at a stall.......This is more a social site over here ( my iron post is proof),,,so not much of the help I need....I check in as a lurker in case I miss something important in our age group....,,
Oh come, come now ... my aches and pains are not that interesting. I don't go to the other boards anymore either ... I find this board has opened all sorts of social possibilities. I have made so many friends here, all over the country. Plus, because of our age, we know what it's like to stall early ... or to go through a knee replacement ... or to have to go on osteoporosis meds ... or to go on HRT.
As for the iron post ... it's been so long since I had iron problems, I can't remember what your post was about. I had my iron problems early and control them right away with pills. I'm now nearly 8 years out and have regained slightly.
