Cool Saturday

Happy Saturday My Wonderful OFF Family, 

I am having a mice day.  Woke up later than planned. When fixing breakfast, i must have moved wrong and combined with the extra veggies i had yesterday my colon decided to have a tantrum. Grabbing pain and gas then finally had a good bm and felt somewhat better. I finally got breakfast and coffee and 3 hours later felt well enough to go to the gym.  

The workout was great. 75 mins on the nu step,  6900 steps. Even though i have increased the amount of time i am doing at a higher workload level, i felt like i was flying thru the steps.it made me realize i am getting stronger. 

Judy, i am so sorry you have so any people in your world who are affecting your world so negatively.  I agree with the others. Please take some YOU time. 

Vicki, you are like a kid in a candy shop. It is so fun to experience vicariously.  I am smiling er to ear as i read your story of trying on clothes. I am such a clothes horse.  I am looking forward to giving a slew of business clothes away. I am also looking forward to wearing a suit i had professionally tailor made for me years ago. It ws a beautiful grey beidge than i may have dyed RED RED RED. 

Eileen,  so glad your birthday was pleasant. Hope you have a good weekend even if you have work. 

Carla, glad you are well 

Connie, i pray you arr moving toward greater balance in your sleep and waking hours. While not a victim of abuse myself,  my niece was sexually abused by a neighbor for several years as a child. She didn't tell for years. Her mother,  my sister wad also abused by one of our neighbors as a kid. She didn't tell till the ******* was dead because she knew my dad, who was a pacifist, kill him with his bare hands. She is finally in a stable third marriage but still struggles with tje residual effects.  My niece is just recently out of rehab jail for drug trafficking and heroine addiction.  She is just beginning the healing. 

So my prayer is that God will bless you with healing for the past, fulfillment,  courage, and peace in the present,  and courage and joy and contentment in the future.  

Claire and i are still trying to decide about Easter Sunday dinner. I m going to suggest wr go to a really great Jewish deli we go to at Christmas.  It has somethings we both like. 

I hope to go to Maundy Sevice Thursday evening, i will see how i feel. 

I hope i didn't miss anyone. Blessings to all during Passover and Easter days. 

PS sorry for the typos. I use my phone and it is a huge issue with font and screen size to go back and correct.  I am sure it drives some of you crazy. 

Hugs and joy

Twink,

After I quit work and then had WLS, I had a closet full of size 22/24 professional clothes.  I gave them to a women's organization that helps single women get off welfare and into the work force (training programs, etc.).  They provide each woman with an interview outfit.  I was glad to see them go to a good cause.

I was lucky that while I was losing, I had a variety of clothes in a BUNCH of sizes still in my closet.  I really didn't have to buy many "interim" clothes.  That, combined with the not working, and also with the being a stay-at-home grandma for the past two years, has resulted in me having a lot of casual clothes, but not much in the way of "nice" clothes.  It is fun to go shopping again! 

Don't worry about the typos!  It's like I always tell Carla: reading your posts is like playing a word game every day!  LOL!  I can't even post on OFF from my phone at all.

Have a good evening!

Thank you Fran...your post means a lot to me. Child abuse (any abuse) is so horrible. I am so sorry for your niece and your sister"s abuse. I will keep them in my prayers. 

The treatment took most of my adult life. Now it has raised it's ugly head once more. I am handling it. It is bad but at least now I know more and can fight harder.

Have a good evening....love and hugs....connie d
