Its hump day, middle of the week, and I HOPE not wacky Wed. I've dealt with enough whackados this week already! lol. Some weeks are quieter, some weeks everyone comes out of the woodwork! Monday I kept thinking-surely there must be a full moon!
So, what's on the agenda for today. My calendar at work is BLANK for today- so I can try to catch up on paperwork. Well catch up is a relative term-my job never has an ending point, everything in case management is fluid. But catch up more than I am right now, I'll say.
Tomorrow Bryan, my sister, and I are going to see My Sister's Keeper after work.
My woo hoo is that I've been taking the stairs again more and yesterday I walked up the stairs while carrying on a conversation and I was good! Its a small woo hoo, but one I'd forgotten because I'd gotten lazy! Exercise has never been my thing. But I sure need it to be! I'm ready for cooler weather so we can resume walking at night. Right now its so oppressive outside.

Prayers continue for our hospital buds- Meggie and Rebecca. Hope they both come home soon.
Hope everyone has a great day today!

Well, good morning everyone!  The insurance adjuster is going to be here Friday to take a look at my car!  The neighbor says its about $4K in damage.  Dang old trees!  This one is just falling apart!  I just wi**** would stop falling on my car!!

My woo hoo is I found out at the VA yesterday that even tho I didn't get GI Bill, the Texas Veterans get FREE tuition at state schools! I can go back to college and all I'll have to pay for is books and fees!  I can go up to 150 hours!  Let me see... what do I want to get my degree in?  The councillor also helped me get the paperwork going to claim my disabilities, or at least get checked for them so I can hopefully claim them!!  We'll see.  I should be getting a letter from the Regional office in Waco within the month!

Well, gotta go!  Everyone have a great day!  Love ya!!

Alissa, if you read the book "My Sister's Keeper" word on the street is you'll HATE the movie.  Completely changed it including the ending!!  It was one of my favorite books of all time so I refuse to see the movie for that reason.

Steph,

I read the book and looked so forward to the movie.  I won't say I hated the movie, but the book was SOOOO much better. 

I love Jodi Picoult - I have all her books somewhere, a good portion of them are on loan if I could just remember who has which ones!  LOL

I haven't read the book, so I'll just go with the movie. I haven't read a book that's been turned into a movie that I've actually LIKED. Books are just always better.

My woohoo this week is that my company ran an article on my weight loss and lifestyle change!! My name was submitted by my trainers at the fitness center. They said "Jack has been one of LMRA's biggest success stories".  Also they put a billboard up of me with some others for the fitness center. By them doing this for me, it has put the motivation and accountability back into my workouts. I was also quoted saying "To be a success at anything, you need to surround yourself with the kind of people that give you inspiration". I believe this holds true with anything we undertake in our daily lifes.
Hav a great day,
Jack

wow Jack! Congrats to you!! I absolutely agree - to be a success you MUST surround yourself with people that lift you up and give you inspiration!!!!

When I was born, I cried and the world rejoiced. Now i wanna live my  life so that when I die, the world cries and I rejoice
