Did you post the babies?

Greetings all

The sun is out big after yesterday's serious rain. More rain to come but I feel I should go out and about since it is nice now. I will head to the studio directly as I skipped yesterday. DH is out running errands and hopefully will bring dinner home from the hippie deli.

Liz so glad to hear your DD got some help and there are now some theories and a plan. And so glad you have this news before you head out. Enjoy the trip.

Peps congrats on being on the official retiree list. Yay. These 50 days will go fast. On the first day of my Mother's retirement she stayed in her pajamas and played video games all day. It is completely liberating to own your thoughts and time.

Hmmm DD interesting about the union meeting on the health plan. You are likely right and hopefully have a plan for the meds in the future. I predict these meds will get cheaper as usage increases and more players get into the act. Have fun with the girl of dreams! I swear my mother liked my DH better than me.

Thanks for the water recirculator input CC. Good to know it is worthwhile. I realized how great it would be to be able to cook without sticking my hands in freezing cold water so often. I deserve this comfort.

Crap, dentist just called and wants to move up my first appointment. Dreading it. Might have to take drugs.

Ann glad your home life is serene again. Home remodel = hell. But worth the effort.

There is a big snow storm going on at Big Bear and the little eaglets are being covered by their mother who is herself covered in snow. Such drama.

Only one more week of eye drops. Dr. apt on the 28th and I hope we will schedule eye#2 then.

Cheers all. Diane S

Did I mention that I am now officially part of the Early Retirement Incentive Program? Got a hand delivered letter from HR on Tuesday. The School Board approved applicants for the ERIP. Being #5 on the district seniority list ensured my placement in the program, but it's nice to have the official paperwork. No going back now! 50 more teaching days...

Will post pics of possible future babies on TT. Looking at their cuddly faces makes me smile from the inside out.

Weight was 212 today. I had a higher carb day yesterday, so not a surprise. I feel like I'm in maintenance (but just about 20 pounds higher than I'd like).

Not sure if it's still the time change or the fact that I had to get up 3 times last night to let Bug out to potty. She was having poop urgency. Not really diarrhea, but something was pushing it through! At least she goes out, immediately does her poop and comes back in. But it does interrupt my rest, I think.

Liz, happy travels! I sometimes your vacation lifestyle. I bet if I didn't have all the dogs, I would travel more. Well, I like to think so, anyway.

It's COLD here today. YUCK. I think the weather guy said something like 15 degrees below average temps for this day. Brrrrrr.....

129.2. Ann and I are scale twins today!

Busy morning with woman's Bible study. Now eating lunch, triple zero vanilla yogurt with blueberries and sliced almonds.

Not sure what else is on the docket for today, probably not much. Sun is shining and skies are blue but it still feels chilly out.

Salmon for dinner tonight, we will see if I brave the outdoors and grill it or succumb to using the oven.

Liz, I'm glad DD was able to be seen in the ER and that she got a referral to another gyn. Safe travels today and have a wonderful vacation!

Ann, glad you survived the renovation spat and are continuing on with more home improvements! I wonder why the outdoor relaxation area behind your home is called a patio in Wisconsin and a lanai in Florida and Hawaii? Gonna have to Google that!

Liz, I hope last night's DD medical developments will make your BVI vacay more pleasant. I bet it will.

Nothing to report here. Weight is up a bit--time to turn breakfast and lunch into protein drinks.

Next few days are full of appointments re house things (we need a back porch/lanai/something and a longer terraced area--it never ends, apparently). But all's good.

P.S. The spatting is over for now. ;) Thanks for your virtual hugs and assurances. :)
