Good morning everyone.   Karen and Kelly thank you for the shout out, love you guys. Kelly enjoy your celebrity run, Karen getting to bed earlier can be difficult when you just wanted to look up something quickly on the internet and end up Web surfing for 3 hours. Libra I hope it is warmer for you today.

I had a great night and only woke up once, had my pain meds, went back to sleep for 4 1/2 hours straight. This morning I have a cat scan scheduled and an occupational therapist is coming to see me. Physio of course, yesterday I did, 10 steps with my super duper walker, i've so got this.

Once again not quite sure of my eats today. Problem is you fill out your menu selections 2 days in advance and I can never remember what I filled out, plus they sub alot and I get little notes saying they have modified my selections. 

Have a great day everyone and do fun things.

Glad you're on the mend, CC. There's nothing worse than pain! Good luck.

Mmm, I love Chipotle!

You always expect Florida to be warm. I do not know where you are but noticed Tampa is 15. It is still better than -11

Morning Karen and everyone! Karen, enjoy the tech support time with the parents. Always quality time. LOL!

Today is my first day back to work after a long weekend (Friday and Monday off). I'm happy because I can sit upright now. Typing still isn't a whole lot of fun since I still have numbness and a bit of an ache in my right hand, but we'll see how it goes. I seem to be tolerating it to some degree if my wrists are at just the right angle. Yesterday I forgot to wear my FitBit - left it on the charger. Oh well. I didn't get a whole lot of walking in anyhow so I likely wouldn't have broken 10,000 steps in any case.

I have a lot to do today at work, and I'm kind of feeling raring to go. My current job upgrade ends at the end of this month and I have a lot of wrapping up to do before going back to my home position. Even though the home position pays a lot less, I'm actually not heartbroken about going back to it (although of course I'd have taken an extension on the current position and paycheque!). The reason is because I can do the work in my home position in my sleep. Absolutely no stress, I don't take the work home with me, and it's a more active job too - more getting up and down and moving, and I handle a lot of shipping orders in the course of the work too, so that's lots of packaging and moving around. My current temporary position is very much sit-in-the-chair-and-write-all-day. Would have been great before surgery, but I have a lot more energy to expend these days!

The other thing I'm looking forward to is the weather warming up in the spring so I can start biking to work again. I know I can now too, but I am just too wimpy to do the cold.  Heck, I'm cold all the time INSIDE.  That's another good thing about going back to my old position. In my current one where I have to settle down to write all day long, I found that when I biked to work during the summer, my adrenaline would be pumping and then I couldn't settle down and concentrate on long bouts of writing. My home position job on the other hand is very task-oriented, more active, lots of different things to do, lots of multi-tasking. So the energy I get from biking works nicely with it.

Today: lots of writing. Hoping to get a couple of walks in during breaks. Nothing tonight so far. Maybe I'll try doing some painting if I'm in the mood.

Have a great day, everyone!
