***Super Saturday Roll Call***
Good Morning PA,
My sleep pattern is out of whack still, so I am up doing Roll Call and trying to wind down some. I nap during the day, and slept in late, so I am not too tired yet.
Saturday has me hoping to try an Aquatic Exercise class at the gym. I always wanted to try one, and thought this might kick-start me back to some more intense exercise. My water walking and walking Utley is not doing much for me.
I was invited to my Class of 75 reunion picnic, but declined because I don't want to be around the drinking just yet. I was a partyer in high school, and I am afraid of slipping back into that mindset, and being around alcohol at the same time.
So, I am planning on attending the First Saturday at Barix. Yes, it is going to snow, I am going to a support meeting at Barix.
In the evening, I will haul my hiney to an AA meeting and then come home to watch the Phillies game.
Huggles,
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.

Hello Trish & PA,
Tri****ook an aquatic arerobic class at my local Y years ago because of lower back pain. It was wonderful! Hope it releives you of some of your pain. I think skipping your reunion was a wise idea. If you know it's a trigger for you, it's best you stay away.
Today I don't have much planned. My husband is away in NH for the weekend. My 20 yr old son who lives at home, helped me do my laundry yesterday. He washed and dryed, then brought be the basket. I folded. He took the basket up to my room and I put the stuff away. Today my daughter is coming over to help me straighten up the house a bit. The only thing I'll be doing is dusting. She said she can handle the rest. Yeah, I hate cleaning the bathroom! I need to run a few errands this afternoon. Then that's it for me. Looking forward to the Phils beating the Mets again today!!
It's gonna be lovley outside. I'll probably spend sometime out on the pation with a good book.
Have a wonderful day PA.

Morning Trish.... going to Barix?!?! Really?!?! I am so excited!!! I am going to be there!!!! YAAAYYYY!! Please make sure you find me!!
I got in around 3 this morning from the reunion and our after party at karaoke. I had such a blast. I felt sexy and confident and it showed during the night. There was so much mingling and talking going on. I spoke to people who I never spoke to in high school and guess what.. they spoke back!! Everyone was so awesome!! People really do grow up!
I'm glad I got there early because I was able to get the attention that I was seeking before another classmate got there. She really stole the show, considering that in high school, SHE was a HE. Quite a few people asked me who she was when she walked in and their jaws dropped when I told them. She looked fantastic and we have been a great support system to each other as we talked about our new bodies and lives over the past year or so.
I had a fantastic night.. there weren't specific WOW's, but just an over all FANTASTIC evening!!
Anyway.... roll call...
breakfast with Steffi
Barix
home to get ready to go to a special "toy" party at my friend's house
my friend throwing the party is bringing her kids to my apartment where the babysitter will meet them. She is going to watch them at my place (She also stays with Siehara sometimes, so she knows my place and me) I will ride back to the party with Carla.
Tonight, said party, which will turn into a bunch of us hanging out for a better part of the night--Bron is meeting me at the party. Then, we'll head back here in Bron's car.
already tired and I just got up... oh wait, that's last night still talking to me

Good Morning Trish & PA -
Trish - am so glad I will finally get to meet you! we fell asleep on the couches last night and never went up to bed, I hate when you are too tired to make the move to bed and then regret it in the am!
Today, I am off to Barix, then home to pick up Mark and then we are heading to my brother & SIL's for a bbq with my brother and his boyfriend that are visiting from South Carolina. Am looking forward to seeing some family that I have not seen in a long time.
Plan is to come back here tonight and then Mark and I are planning a day of "us" time tomorrow - some yardwork, some shopping, some cooking.
Well.. nothing too exciting to report.
xoxo,
Maura

Good Morning Trish & PA:
First off congratulations Trish on your SSI going through.
This has been a busy week for me. Waking up in the mornings is tough, considering I'm in bed and asleep by 8pm you'd think waking at 5am wouldn't be such a tough thing to do. Last night I was asleep by 8 and then woke up around 7 strange that my body seems to need 10-11 hrs of sleep. Wonder if this is something I should speak to my PCP about.
Work has been crazy, seems everyday this week @ 3:45pm something that needed to be completed or researched had to happen and I could not leave until it was complete. Murphy's law I suppose.
Last Tuesday night I had dinner with a friend I have not seen in 20 years. Had a great time catching up and just chatting.
Today I'm planning to make it to Barix. I'll probably be flying solo today, Gene is working on his syllibus for the course he's teaching.
Hope everyone has an awesome day - I think I'm going to take a walk now.

Good morning PA!
Trish, I love water aerobics, I'm sure you will like it.
Lisa, your story about the reunion is so funny!! LOL! And you did look amazing.
I hope you all have fun at the Barix meeting today, wi**** wasn't so far away. With only 2 days to before surgery, I have quite a few things to get done. I have to finish setting up the store, there will be an inspection for the CO next week while I am at home. I have RCN coming to the store again today, they can't seem to get the internet and phone connection to stay on. And most importantly I have a pedicure this morning. Hubby can't see the importance of having a good pedicure before surgery, I feel it is imperative!
I am so glad I have been busy this week, I haven't had a chance to get nervous or read too much on the internet. Yesterday I passed my stress test and got cardiac clearance. I am so excited to be starting this journey!
Hope everyone has a great day!! GO PHILS!!!
