Good am,

How are ya'll doing? Wonderful I hope. How was your half way day? Ours was all right. Got chores and such done in the am, dropped my car off for inspection, took the afternoon for myself and spent it with one of the most amazing men in my life. We grabbed Mexican, took a nice, long drive and saw a lot of great houses and places, grabbed drinks mid way and drove some more, jammed to lots of great tunes which brought back memories/stories from the past (good and not so great), grabbed ice cream (sf of course) and came home. Downside? I got stung TWICE last pm!! Ugh! This is the THIRD time this Summer! Anyhow, I'm all right this am just a little stiff in my dang ankle.

What's on the books for your Thursday? I've got SO much to do today and I just hope I can fit it all in. Errands to include the post office, groceries, getting gas, paying bills etc. I've also got to get my car from the shop IF its ready by lunch time. In addition, I'm working on applying for jobs as well. My buggas are stir crazya bout swimming so I am going to see about getting the pool going again today too. However, with the temps its gonna be another warm one.

In all that ya'll do today make sure to take some time for yourself and take care of you! Also, reach out to others when & where you can. I cannot express how much of a difference that has made in my day to do so and to be on the receiving end of such wonderful besties!

Hugs and all that jazz for the BEST Thursday! Blessings all around!

Good Morning, Sunshine......

It;'s going to be a GREAT day, isn't it.  I mean....after the hell-week that I've had this week, I REALLY need it to be a great day - haha.  It will be, cause I'm off tomorrow and then on travel to Huntsville, AL all next week.....YEAH!!!!!

So....it will be a busy day today, as I have to get some things wrapped up because of next week.  Some here in the office are not very happy that I am on travel to a class, guess they had to wait longer than I did to get in...not sure.  Oh well......

Patrick is due home in a few hours - I am SO glad, I cannot stand it.  He's no longer working, so it will be nice to have him around.  I need to pick him up a bus pass this weekend so he can get to the gym and to the campus for orientation (he still does not drive....MARCH or APRIL....cannot wait!).

I joined Gold's gym last night. I had been looking at it and with all of the drama from earlier this week, I felt like I deserved it.  I got memberships for all three of us for the same price as the dance studio - image that.  So, now the biys get to meet me, or come with me to work out.  i am really excited about it, and hubby has said that he will do the spin classes with me, since they really aren't female orientated and would be good for his knees.  Think I can get him into the Bodyflow class (combo of pilates, yoga and Tia Chi)?  Keep your fingers crossed - haha.  But, I have it all planned out.  Patrick can take the bus from school to the gym, I'll meet him at the gym - we work out and then I bring him home.  If it's a day that I am going later for a class, he can either wait for me, or take the bus home afterwards.  Because he is on scholarship and his weight is linked tot hat scholarship I really need him to do this.  He gets to meet with a personal trainer (who is NOT his mother) three times, and i think that because it is not me that he will get a lot out of it.

Ok...now I'm rambling.  Have a great day, and know that you are loved today!

Thanks for the Fiber One Bars, Jill. I went to Kroger yesterday and bought the generic brand (because I'm broke!) and I really enjoyed it this morning. It's going to really give me a lot of fiber points for one day too! I added Benefiber to my yogurt too. Should start for a good day. I'll be taking Murilax at night too. If this don't work, don't know what will!

Hope to see you soon,
A

Hey Jill,

Been thinking bout you a lot as well. I hope your day is beautiful. Keep a smile on your face and take the trip next week and enjoy yourself as much as you can. Glad Patrick's coming home. Tell him I said "hey!" Good for YOU about the gym and I'm stoked for you! You are NOT rambling. Its so good to hear how a neggie is being turned into something amazing as the week's progressed. Hugs to you....and lotsa love too!

Hey Katters,

Wow, yesterday was a shutdown day for sure. I haven't had to take my anxiety meds in a while, but I took one Tuesday and yesterday. I did get a few things accomplished though. I woke up, yay, that's a start. I went to the DMV and got my tags renewed, major plus. I do not need to get pulled over right now. Got to the post office and mailed off my final car payment, niiice. Then it was time to go see the Gastro. I'm gonna post an update on that. After that, we went and bought a few things at Kroger and I settled in at home. I needed to do a treatment so I hadn't planned on going out. I got a terrible phone call from my Aunt and that's when the pill came into place. I'm trying to prepare for it, cause I know its coming, its just so hard. Pray. Pray. Pray. That's all I can do. I had to text my brother and sister, only making the situation worse. I ignored all phone calls. I did, however, call my ex to wish him a Happy Birthday. I'm glad I did it because his family hadn't called at that point and he deserves at least that much. He really helped me out this week and I'm very grateful.

Today, I'm going to bury myself in work to keep my mind off things. I need the comp time because I'll be taking approximately 30 hours off over the next two weeks due to my BFF coming in to town and doctor's appointments. I also have volleyball stuff that I must take care of, I can't blow it off anymore. Bills too. Ugh.

Hope your day goes well! Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, we can make it through anything!

Love ya,
A

Morning Beautiful!!!!  Glad to hear you day was good.  Try to rest that ankle & stay away from those bees.  My Wednesday was pretty good.  Got my hair done, was later coming home than expected so just hung with hubby & the girls for a bit then headed to bed.

Today is a me day!!!!  After work I will be hitting the gym, then off for a pedi & fill with a friend.  Then home for some quiet time to myself as the hubby & girlies are going to the Nats game. 

Have a great day!!!  Love you much!!

Good mornin' beautiful!  Wednesday was really good.  I do not know what got into Kara, but she was an absolute ANGEL last night!  She helped me cook dinner, clean up afterwards, we watched a movie with dinner~~all four of us~~then Kara and I went to wally-world while Steve went to bed.  It amazes me how I can go in with just a few items in mind to get and always spend more.  I did stock up on some vitamins, which I desperately needed. 
Today is my 10 year anniversary with Steve.  He has already made today special...cards, balloons and roses to start my day.  Tonight we are cooking dinner at home and not sure what else.  We are celebrating tomorrow night, so nothing too extravagant today.  Hopefully Kara is in an equally good mood and will be great again today.
Work is still going great.  I did find out that I am going back into training on Aug 18th for 6 weeks so I will not have the freedom to post on here as much as before, but I will not be "gone" for long.  I have really come to depend on my friends and family and I NEED my daily dose of OH!  I will e mail ya a bit later this am.  Did you get the postings I sent you yesterday???  You could do any of them!
