Happy Friday, Everybody!
I am so ready for the weekend. I'm working from home today because my son needs a ride home from school. His high school is off today, but in the morning he attends a program at a local technology center that is for pre-engineering. Since that is regional, they are not off today and my son wanted to go in. I feel like I need to support him since he is volunteering to go to school, LOL.
Tomorrow, I have to take my sons to the mall to get evening wear for our cruise in December. That should be an adventure. The woman who helps me is quite excited about it and texted me that she blocked off three hours for them. Because there is nothing that teenage boys want to do more than spend three hours trying on clothes. I am bribing them with a trip to Gibsons for steak if they cooperate.
Other than that, I think it will be a fairly quiet and restful weekend. I want to sign up for two more races this year. Tonight is the final open event, 20.5. Likely I will watch LSU vs. Alabama football tomorrow afternoon.
QOTD: I told most of my friends and family before hand. I will usually tell people now if they ask and I think that they are genuinely concerned/interested and not just gawkers. I didn't tell everybody at work, just because I didn't want to spend the whole day talking about it. I don't really care whether people approve or not.

Good morning JB and Menuers;
Good Luck JB coming up with a name. But I'll be partial and say I like mine the best or some variation of it like The Woodchucks that Chuck, Or The Wood Chucking Woodchucks. Just saying LOL.
So today is my first PTO day since last March and unfortunately I am using it to take DH to the Pain Dr for an epidural. The damn Doctor scheduled it so we had to be there at noon so it wasn't like I could go in for a half a day as not to use any PTO.
I Got some quotes for Spring break in the Dominican an all inclusive Dreams ***** Cana in a Deluxe swim out room will be $3107 for 2 that is all inclusive. We have been to this resort before and liked it. I was looking for something cost effective to include more friends if they wanted to go. This trip is from February 16-23 and the more rooms we get the cheaper it will be. If anyone is interested (Even if you need it to be less days) let me know I'll give you the Contact information for the travel agent and she can quote you from your location and get you in our group.
QOTD: I told my husband my BFF and my work out partner. That was it. Everyone else I told I was having hernia surgery. Maybe not the best idea since it did go badly and I ended up going from the VSG on December 11 2017 to the RNY on December 19, 2017. However since surgery I do share my experience with anyone who is interested. Especially if they ask and I know it is going to benefit them.
Accountability: Everything but the Gym. I forgot my shoes and once I got home I didn't feel like going back out.
