First Thursday

First Thursday of this week anyway.  How is everyone this morning.  Bright and cheery!  Love to say it is bright and sunny here, but that would be an outright lie.  Looking like possibility of rain.  Going to write a short note, get dressed and get the critters outside before anything happens.

I have officially lost my fluid weight from surgery, let the losing begin.  Enjoying my strawberry carnation/protein drink as I write today.  Snuggling my feet in my pom's fur, feels like I have warm fuzzy slippers for my toes.  He squirms to get my toes to scratch 'just the right spot'

Hope everyone has a wonderful day today.  Hugs, Kathy

ps.  slept from 11:30 till 7 with just a bathroom call, not roaming the house for hours in the middle of the night.  Thanks to benadryl.

So glad to see you are4 doing so much better, off to the gym here.  have a great day,

Hope you had fun at the gym Annielou.  Your words blend together, try one size smaller font.  Thanks.  Hugs, Kathy

You sound so good, Kathy!  I'm glad you are feeling better each day.  Your little pom sounds so sweet!  Love those pups.  Have a great day.

Good Morning Mary,

Are you getting just so excited about your date coming up? 

The dogs sometimes feel like velcro, wherever I am, so are they.  If I am on the sofa, there they are, same with the desk.  Now at bedtime, Gretta has dibs on the bed and Oscar controls the bathroom and attached closet.  He either sleeps on a latch hook rug in the corner by the shower or in the dirty clothes basket, after he sorts out and removes all the undergarments from the basket.  I had lost some underwear due to him.  For awhile, he pulled them out through the holes in the basket, which left large teeth holes from the tugging.  He now just tosses them over the top.

Hugs, Kathy

Happy Thursday to you and everyone!  It is going to be a bright and sunny day here.  Will be heading out to the gym this morning after getting my Dad squared away before  my departure.  Aiming to walk for 45 min on the treadmill.
I let me four legged family members out first thing this morning.  I need to take them for a walk, just hard to take all 5 of them at once. They tend to get too excited when out on the walks and pull on me, when they want to chase the bird or bunny they see.
Glad to see that you got some good needed sleep Kathy. 

charlotte, boy u are losing the weight girl!!!!  way to go. vick

Vick it seems to be coming off slowly but better than the standstill that I had.  I am getting all my protein in and I think that is making a difference.  I am feeling better each and every day.

Pat i am being careful while on the treadmill, I am under the watchful eye of my new coach.  I listen to me body and know when I need to quit.

I am off to the gym to burn some more calories!

Thanks Charlotte, It would be harder if they weren't so small, I let the retractible leash take the pulling for me.

The sun just popped out here as well, looking a lot nicer outside, still glad the dog walk is over for now.

The sleep was like heaven.   Hugs, Kathy

Kathy, if my pooches were smaller it wouldn't matter as much, but with them being from 40 pounds up to 115 pounds and all of them pit bulls, walking one at a time is the limit right now.  They all walk well on the leash for me, when it is just me and them.  One day I will be able to take them all out and we can walk together as a pack and be the talk of the block!
I will have to post some pictures of my pooches on my profile. You will have to do the same.

The sun is out in full force here already, and it is a balmy 87 degrees out.
