GM PA;

Sounds like a hot one is brewing today.  Heading to work till 4ish. 

Have a meeting with my AVP to discuss some projects she wants me to get started and lead, as well as some other things that are heating up with organizational expansion. 

After work home to spend some time with Gene.

Bridal Shower preparations for my daughter are heating up for the end of this month....

Hope you all have a wonderful day, stay cool and hydrated....

 Up and at it this morning. I want to get some laundry folded and the basic packing done for my trip to PA before heading to work.

Tonight - some closet arranging. I know - you can hardly contain your excitement!

Should be a busy work day today. I've met some interesting people the last couple of weeks....a guy who builds tech systems for  "safe rooms" for large yachts (impenetrable by pirates/kidnappers), a woman who teaches English to adult refugees (down here mostly Cuban and Hatian), and the author Janet Evanovich. Ya never know who walks through the door at Apple! 

 LOVE Janet Evanovich... Stephanie Plum books are awesome!!!

Good Morning Ida, Lynn and all to follow,
We had a thunderstorm last night, which sent Utley into my arms as usual.  I'm calling PetSmart to see if they carry the Thundershirt for him.  I've had several people recommend it, and it's cheaper than taking him to the vet to get tranquilizers.  Utley is due for a vet visit, but the shot he needs is only required for when he is at the kennel.  I'll take care of that in August.

Today has me heading to the surgeon's to get my stitches out, and to get the biopsy results from the surgery I had two weeks ago.  In the afternoon, I begin my volunteer work at Pro-Act, in Bristol.  Pro-Act is an agency that offers Peer-to-Peer support for people in early recovery for addiction/alcoholism.  They offer referrals for recovery houses, job search help, various groups, and social activities to help people in recovery have fun while clean and sober.  Volunteering there gives me an opportunity to use my social work skills while giving back to the community.

Gotta scoot.

Hugs,
Trish

Good Morning Ida, PA friends!

Today finds me at work, after an almost 3 week whirlwind of activity surrounding my granddaughter, Sami.  I think she had a very good time and to my daughter's surprise, I actually enjoyed the visit and we only had two teenage flare-ups (lol), to which I let her stew in her silliness and after a bit of time, we discussed the behaviors and being a grandma is much different then being a Mom (lol). . . 

So it's back to my life as I know it and this week is already got everything planned for business as usual. . .  AA noontime meeting, some food shopping this evening and therefore a little food prep in order, tomorrow evening Tony is coming down for dinner, Wednesday is BARIX and I look forward to seeing everyone, Thursday is my homegroup meeting, Friday I am celebrating 25 years sober by sharing my story at my "adopted" homegroup in Delaware and Saturday, I am heading north, where Tony and I are going to a Mets game and afterwards dinner. . . but back to today, in a little while I have some training to help out with a project here at work. . .

Aww a Bridal Shower, how nice that you are looking forward to your daughter's upcoming nuptials! 

Hope everyone enjoys their day and as you said, stay cool and hydrated!

 oh Monday Monday... yippee... back to work again. 

Had an up and down visiting day with Siehara.  She still was saying that she wants to come but we have a plan in place to try to help her enjoy the next month.

All I have planned for myself for the day is working for Aetna and doing some cleaning up around the house.  I have a bunch of stuff that needs to go over to the Salvation Army and I think I can probably find some more if I put forth enough of an effort.

Nothing else going on here.. just work

Good Morning All!

Today is my 1st day back to work following my surgery.  Wow am I tired....but I look great :)  
I hope I make it thru the whole day.  I am going to give it my best effort.  It is hot here, thank goodness for AC!  I plan on driving home after work, having a protein drink or bar and sleeping.
Have a great one!

 Hubby and I had appts this morning.... Ultra sounds, EKGs, Nutritionist....  6th month appt it was...

He hit his pre surgery target weight.  He still has the Green with conditions.  I hope they change it soon for him for he has been working real hard.  
I'm close on mine, 6 lbs more for me.

Soon as we can get our global fee paid, we will meet our surgeons.  We still go back each month until then.  Next month's appt is scheduled around my knee surgery.  ugh..    Getting knee surgery first for me to fix the torn meniscus in left knee.  With our taxes to be here any day, we'll get the fees paid.  I can't wait.
