Hello ladies

I am posting late.  Been a busy day.  Woke up at 7:30 showered, got dressed, and left for the Y.  Worked Biceps and back today and ended with cardio and stretches.  That wore me out.  Then came home and changed.  I don't go out in public in my work out clothes, don't want to scare anyone.  Then I headed to Houston to buy some shoes.  I called first to see if they had anything in my size.  didn't want to drive 45min to 1 hour and not even try anything on.  I have very difficult feet to fit.  I wear a 10 AAAA. My heel is actually AAAAA but that doesn't exist.  There is one store in Houston that sells narrow width shoes but even there AAAA is not real easy to find.  I lucked out.  I found the black heels I needed.  Then I found a pair of chocolate brown and a navy blue I liked.  The navy was half price so only $50.00.  The brown was full price at $100.00 but it is so difficult for me to find shoes that I bought them.  My husband asked me if I had anything that went with brown and I said no.  Then the salesman came to my rescue and said " women that wear this size shoe find it easier to match clothes to shoes than shoes to clothes."  John was joking anyway but I thought it cute that the salesman went to bat for me.  Of course I am not naïve.  I know he works on commission so it was to his benefit as well.  I walked out with 3 pair of shoes for a little less than what 2 pair normally cost me.  My day to day shoes I usually get at SAS and they have gone up to about 150.00 a pair.  Good thing I wear my shoes a long time before replacing them.  That is one reason I buy classic, plain pumps.  They ones I replaced today were 15 years old and the insides were breaking apart.  Not comfortable.  Got home around 4:00 and started going through my closet and pulling my formal clothes I am going to take on the cruise.  I need 4 formal outfits.  I have 2 definite and 2 possible.  A black lace dress and a formal pant with a white formal top.  I don't think I'll need to buy anything.  We leave Tuesday so I have time to put stuff together from my closet.

Judy so glad your surgery went well.  Wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery coming your way.

Vickie, you are a better person than I am.  I could not do all that you do for your family.  I require more me time.  Glad Caralee is sleeping better and hopefully you will be able to get a little more sleep.

Connie still sending prayers for Nic and all the doctors that care for him.  Hope you get some rest as well.

Arlene, Cindy, and others suffering with depression...glad to hear that the cloud is gradually lifting.  I am blessed that my bout with depression was situational.  I took meds for a couple of years after my mother died.  Her death hit me harder than I expected but I was able to wean myself off the meds and now I have day where I am blue or in a funk but not for long.

Eileen.. Its no wonder you are stressed.  Even before youknowwho came into your life your job situation was stressful. Your industry has gone and is going through many changes and at our ages worrying about job security is not and easy thing. Hope it all works out for you. 

I know I have forgotten sistahs, its not intentional just my tired 68 year old brain.

Forgiveness Please !!

Hello Yvonne....I am glad you are feeling better today. It feels good to get things done. Enjoy your Bible Study group tonight. I always loved Bible study group. It is amazing what you can learn from some of the verses. It was always interesting.

I did have a great time with my grandchildren. Tonight will be bed early  and hopefully a chance to sleep in!!  My body is just exhausted!!

Love you...HUGS....connie d

Hi Ladies,

I feel better today. At least I got stuffed done even my exercise.  I have Bible study  tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to go to a new store called five below and kohl's.  My friend has her friend up here so it's mostly alone time for me.

Judy glad your surgery went okay.  Will pray for a speedy recovery. 

Connie glad you had a good time with your grandchildren.

Vickie try to have fun today at the farm.

Arlene hope the pain gets better for you.

Thoughts and prayers for everyone.  Everyone have a good day.

Love and hugs,

Yvonne

Hello Arlene....sorry you had to get dentures. I can only imagine the pain!! Sending prayers.

I will also pray for your former SIL, Clara. I hope that there isn't any cancer in her lung.

Go take a pain med and take a nap. Try to relax and shut out the world! 

Love to you....HUGS....connie d

Hi Vickie and my OFF family:

I have been missing lately; just busy with work and a little depressed about the workplace, too. Lots of changes going on and I'm concerned about them, so I'm stressing lately. Discussed a lot of this with my psychologist, along with my issues about youknowwho. Anyway, just a bit depressed lately.

Yesterday, after my session, I went to the Y. We were about 10 minutes into class and I had to dash to the bathroom. I had diarrhea really bad. I got it under control enough to go back out and get my water bottle and my towel and say bye to the instructor and tell her why I was leaving. I didn't have any other problems, but felt sick all day. Unfortunately, I had to work. And work was a ***** too. So I've been dealing with a lot of stress. I've tried to read every day but sometimes haven't had time to post. 

Judy, glad you're out of surgery and it went well. Now take your drugs and relax. 

Connie, sounds like you had fun with your grands. Any word on Nic's tests? 

Vickie, you're always busy with your house and family. When do you rest? 

Cindi, I'm happy you're safe from the flooding. I have some friends in Louisiana who are in the path. 

Can't remember who else posted. Sorry.

I had my physical today. Always so much fun. Then I came home and did laundry. I fell asleep eating lunch, I'm so tired. I have to work again tomorrow, then I'm off Friday when I get my NeuroStim in for the week trial. Then I work Saturday, then I'm off Sunday. Crazy week.

Have a good day.
