OK another sleepless night for me, so i have the dining car set up with double espresso, tea, etc, blah blah lol.  Gonna try to go back to bed and catch a few zzzzzzzzzzzz's at least. 

So did everyone have a good weekend? I did.  Most of yall know i have been going to Physical Therapy for my neck. Well my PT recommended an acupuncturist for my neck.  I'm not opposed to anything out there, but the one she recommended isn't covered by my insurance.  I was pleasantly surprised to even find out it was covered at all my insurance.  Does anyone have any experience with anyone around here? please feel free to PM with me with details if you feel more comfortable than putting your biz out here on the board. 

Karen - please put something with a good beat on it on for us.. i know I'm dragging big time and will need all the help i can get to make it thru the day and have lots to do :)

Prayers for all who need them, including my dear sistah GINA!!!!!, Michelle, Kris/Chris steph  and well me.  Call me narcissistic lol and all those who need them but choose not to vocalize their needs. 

MAKE It a great day yall, drink your water and take your vits.  Love to all!!!!

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOO for Monday!  I'm up and at 'em and going strong as usual this morning, ready to get this day started!  Had a great lazy day weekend even though I did work a couple of hours each day. 

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

Ain't got no trouble in my life
No foolish dream to make me cry
I'm never frightened or worried
I know I'll always get by

I heat up I cool down

When something gets in my way I go round it
Don't let life get me down
Gonna take it the way that I found it

I got the music in me

They say that life is a circle
But that ain't the way that I found it
Gonna move in a straight line
Keepin' my feet firmly on the ground

I heat up I cool down

I got words in my head so I say them
Don't let life get me down
Catcha hold of my blues and just play them

I got the music in me

Feel funky feel good
Gonna tell you I'm in the neighbourhood
Gonna fly like a bird on the wing
Hold on to your hat honey sing sing sing sing

I heat up I cool down
I got words in my head so I sing them
Don't let life get me down
Catcha hold of my blues and just play them



Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Good morning! I woke up with the alarm but then dozed back off and hit snooze-now I'm having trouble waking up. Zipfizz to the rescue!
We had a low key weekend. Bryan did alot of work-thankfully from home. I cleaned the house and did laundry and then yesterday we went for a bike ride. I'm feeling more comfortable with the bike now. Then we went for snow cones at this great place in Roanoke. They have 9 SF flavors and about 20 regular flavors and they are YUMMY.

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Good morning Liz!  I hope you get some sleep soon...I know that gets old. 

I am going to do my morning walk/run in a little bit and then will come home and cool off.  I have to be showered, dressed and at my office to help interview a new diagnostician at 10:00.  Hopefully I will be home by noon.   We seem to have long interviews...

This afternoon I have a sewing project for someone from church to make a tote bag.  I have put it off for months and today is the day to get it finished.

Yesterday I bought Twilight and watched it and rented the New Moon from Redbox.  I really liked both of them.  Now I'll have to see Eclipse.

Prayers for all who need them.  have a great Monday!

Good morning all!  Liz - sorry you're still dealing with sleepless nights and neck pain.  Sure hope both of those get resolved ASAP!!  I had a nice, relaxing, lazy weekend.  I spent nearly all day Sat working on cross stitch.  I started a project back before my plastic surgery in 2008 and I decided to try to fini**** up.  It's an Native America picture that will go in our bedroom once I fini****  Feels good to get back into a hobby that I love and have neglected for a while.  I also picked out what I'm going to make for my brother and SIL for this kids.  Now I need to figure out what to make for Jeff's sister for her kids. 

Sat night we went to see Clash of the Titans at the dollar movie.  It was better than I was expecting and we both had a good time.  Had we skipped the drinks and popcorn it would have been a super cheap date too.  LOL, baby steps.  Sunday was church, lunch with the family, then home.  For some reason I ran out of steam right after lunch and didn't get any energy bac****il later that evening.  So, not much was done but it was nice having a nothing to do weekend.  Looking at my calendar for the next couple of months, I don't think I'm going to have very many of those.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day!!

 Morning Liz and TMB,

Had a wonderful weekend.     Went to church yesterday and had a great turnout for my Support Group yesterday.    Sorry Liz that you are still in pain and not sleeping.   I can only imagine what you are going through.    I know I wouldn't be able to handle all that.   I hope someone chimes in here that can help you with the name of a acupuncturist.   Maybe you should call your insurance co. and ask them for a list of covered acupuncturist.   Good luck to you and hope you get some rest and relief from the pain today.   Love ya and prayers for Gina, Michelle and everyone else in need.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Good Morning TMBers

I have a great weekend.   Spent time with Amanda - we went to Hurricane Harbor for about 4 hours (thank goodness for season passes) - that is the first time I had been there and I will be going back - everyweekend - weather permitting -  might as well make good use of that season pass.           The 6-flages portion is just a waste of my money........next year - no double park pass for me -  but I'll get seasons pass hopefully for just hurricane harbor !! 

Plans to go see the Toy Story 3 - went out the window - we spent our playtime money at Hurricane Harbor instead.  Well see a movie this weekend...............

I worked for about 4 hours on Sunday -morning - went to Wally World and then to the Rangers Ball Park.        It was hot - but I still enjoyed it.............thanks Mary and George.......

Not much on the agenda this week.....Just the usual.....work - but thank goodness I'm employed...

Team leader from Houston is here all this week.           I believe that she'll be doing our mid-year performance reviews. (really pray for me on this one )   I don't expect a very good review....
I got caught last week - when I fell asleep at the desk, and the incident went all the way to HR.....I am expecting a verbal warning and/or a written warning and possibly a years probation, give or take...........Maybe I'm expecting the worse - but I guess it is time to go to my pcp and bring up several things - so I guess I'll make that leap to the doctor to show them that I'm proactively acting on the incident so that things will calm down.       the only other time I was in trouble with verbal /written warning - I was about 4-6 mon out from RNY and had infections after infections....anyway -  enough is enough.  I did all of my crying on Friday am .....whatever happens to me - happens............ I have to suck it up and deal with it !! 

Lifting up prayers to all  (God knows these needs) and well - I don't always know what is going on -  I won't be on-line on here much this week due to the extra set of eyes in the office....but I wanted to touch base ...

.............((((((((Hugggs)))))))))))))  to all

Hey Phyllis...

Employers are required to give their employees breaks throughout the day. Is it possible that you were on a "break"?

Praying for you!

yes - and well NO -  I didn't tell my coworker next to me about taking a "break" or using that time as breaktime.....it will be okay.....

I may be having some "problems" but I'm too lazy to go to my pcp.....trying to explain everything..etc....may be having problems with my cpap..............I feel that I'm getting enough reset, during the night...........I'm thinking it was over eating syndrome !!! lol  too many carbs....

lol

Thanks for caring
