Friday

I am up making soup for tomorrow's going away party for one of my graduate tutors who got a pretty damn good job. She asked me to make potato soup so it's soup.  Anyway, since it's officially Friday here in AR, I decided to start the daily thread.

Well, my belly has settled down but today the doctor said it might be a good idea to get some tests done and she thinks it's scar tissue, which is what I am thinking too.  So, she is making me an appointment with a WLS doc and they will decided what to do.  I just hate for them to do anything to my gastrointestinal tract because of all the problems that I've had but I also don't want my colon to twist and become blocked.

Today (Friday) is the last day of the scholars program that my granddaughter has been going to so my daughter is coming up in the morning and after the program, they will load up and head home. It took me about four days to get organized and get the kids on my schedule and now we have it down to a  science so I am really going to miss them. My husband said that we won't know how to act without having the kids around to keep us busy. HA!.  

My breakfast will be eggs and lunch will be soup with crackers and dinner will be something easy since it's the first dinner in over two weeks that it's just been DH and me...well, the kids did go home Friday and Saturday but came back Sunday....anyway, life is funny with us old gals....

Ladies, when you wake up, have a good day and I will check in tomorrow to see how you all are doing.... 

Hi Jeannie and those to come

I am up, gathering my bags, and placing them by the door so I can load the car.  I'll be leaving shortly and driving to Dallas.

This time next week I will arrive in Wyoming and cooler temps.

Can't wait.  Since I am travelling today food will be the best choice I can find on the road.  Have some fruit in the car and I may not stop at all except for gas and potty breaks.  Better get on my horse and ride.

Jeannie did you get my PM with my cell number?  Let me know so I can tell if I successfully navigated this high tech stuff.

Good Morning Jeannie and OFF,

I had a bizarre day of emotions yesterday.  I was supposed to get my retirement check yesterday.  Harrisburg says they did not receive a document I know I mailed in April, which is required every year.  My rent and other bills are due.  I used my savings for my trip to Pennsylvania in June.  I had a total meltdown on the phone with Harrisburg yesterday.  Then, I had to scramble to get that document printed, signed, and faxed to them, at the same time I took Izzy to lunch and shopping, for our late birthday date.  Of course, I had trouble getting the fax sent, and at the same time, I had to hide the turmoil in my head from Izzy.

Then, Colleen asked me for the rent today, which I don't have.  She had a meltdown, coz she didn't get that job in PA and needed money for groceries.  I gave her some cash I had, since my sister is lending me money to pay the rent and bills till I get my check.  Thank God I'll get my Social Security in less than two weeks, while Harrisburg processes what should have been done already.

Needless to say, I binged on sugar last night.  I need to use my coping skills, but sugar is so much easier and quicker.

Hugs,

Trish
