*** Magnificent Monday Roll Call ***

I hope you like Zumba -- it's fabulous!  :)

I figured the whole month behind for Columbus day was some sort of Jewish thing.  Should have known it was just Mrs. Belitsky being a blonde!

Good Morning Steffi, PA friends. . .

I won't even go there since you already heard it enough (lol). . .

It was an incredible weekend, love the people who make it to Barix for support and then afterwards met up with my guy for a short while (too short :()  anyway, AA meeting Saturday night, also awesome. . .

Yesterday I cooked Split Pea Soup, Italian Wedding soup and roasted a chicken, watched the Jets game, which by the way for all you Eagles fans, I missed the exciting ending of my team because they switched over in the last 2 minutes, when my team was losing and then came and won it.  I had to go to NFL Today to see the ending, sheesh. . .  how did I wind up in EAGLE COUNTRY. . .  lol  Last night I facilitated an AA Step meeting, which I am doing for the month of November and it was also a good meeting to be at. . .  that was my weekend, it was productive, social and relaxing, having that extra hour certainly was good for me. . .

Ok, here I sit at work, better get back to doing some. . . 

You all have a great day and Congrats to JoJo and Johnny on the nuptials!  May you have many happy years ahead!

Good Morning Steffi and PA,
FYI:  Thursday is thank you Veterans not Columbus.  We thanked Columbus in October.

Today has seen me walk Utley twice already.  I also have taken my shower and had only one cup of coffee so far. 

I am working on the princess gown this morning, and then tidying some this afternoon.  Later, I have a doctor's appointment to follow up on my pneumonia.  I have been struggling some, and improving too slowly for my liking. 

Hope everyone has a good week.

Hugs,
Trish

Happy Monday! Today I'm at work -- nothing too exciting about that -- then after work I'll go to the gym, make a quick trip to the grocery, then home to crash. Then tomorrow I'll wake up and do it all over again!

Have a great day everyone,
Lesley

Good Morning All,

  After an action packed weekend I came home last ngiht with the chills could not get warm and feel like I got hot by a truck. My stomach is flipping and I so I called out of work slept in had a little breakfast tht didn't sit well so will curl up soon back in bed to nap.


  Does matter through Life is still good! 

Beth,

Hope you feel better soon! It was nice spending time with you yesterday!! Get some rest....

Afternoon, everyone - sorry this is the first chance I've had to get on here to check in today!

It was a very busy weekend, but in many ways a positive and productive one.  Saturday night was the big show that I've been stressing over for months, and it was successful, so that's one stress off my back.  Yay.  I had intended to go to yoga on Saturday, followed by support group, followed by rushing home and getting ready for the show (it was a black tie event, so required being "dolled up"), then took a step back and realized just how crazy that sounded.  I'm trying to be kinder to myself right now (I really need it), so went to yoga, did NOT go to support group, went home and did the other things I needed to do so I could go to the show and not be more stressed than I needed to be.  It was a good decision for me, but I missed seeing all of you.  

I had made a promise to myself that Sunday would be a rest day for me, with no commitments made to ANYONE else... i did NOT grocery shop (it's my usual day for that), clean and mop the kitchen, run any errands, cook dinner, etc.    Instead, I got up when I was finished sleeping (it was still 8:30 - not like mid-afternoon, but it felt like it!), went to a wonderful yoga class, came home, showered, put on COMFY clothes, watched "Date Night" (great movie), then went out to the Apple Festival in Peddler's Village with Becky and Eric, had a nice dinner out, came home, and relaxed.  The wonderful thing about it was that Eddie worked all day and actually overtime, so he wasn't around either...  And I deliberately did NOT feel guilty for doing it.  ...  Well, OK, I did feel guilty when Pam texted me from Chickie's, because I had wanted to get together with everyone and meet JoJo...  But I didn't feel a huge overwhelming guilt enough to drag my butt down there, because i really, really needed a "down day."

Today, I got to the gym in the morning and then to work - it's been an ok day so far.  I feel like I'm slowly working out from under this cloud at work and that there is a glimmer of light at the other end of the tunnel that is NOT another oncoming train.  Still more than a little gun-shy, but getting better day-by-day. 

I have hopes that I will emerge again into the nice bright shiny world... hopefully soon! This last month has been more than harrowing.  

Sorry this has been so long - feel like I'm trying to catch up!

Karen

Karen why we did miss you yesterday I am so glad that you took time for yourself and did what you needed to do for yourself. From one that also burns the candle at both ends and learning to just say NO ...I was happy to see you did this for you.

MONDAY... had a great weekend.  I'm working on a post about the conference.  Let's just say it was amazing!! I did great with food and my water and had fun, got edumacated and got a great weight lifted off my back after my consult with Dr. Lomonaco.  He's amazing (and good looking too).  I'll post separate.

Right now, I'm off work today.. just trying to catch up with everything..
