Good Morning Cali

More sign language, huh JaviC?

Good Morning all,

Not much to report from here.  Just another day at work.  Another day closer to the weekend.  Yesterday was a long one again.  I didn't think 5:00 would ever get here.  Then I had a horrible night's sleep.  Mike and I both have colds and we were sneezing, sniffling and hacking all night long.  No sooner would one of us fall asleep then the other would start coughing and wake the other one up.  And for me who never sleeps well to begin with, it makes for a very grumpy camper today.  My trusted cup of coffee isn't even making me feel better.

So today brings just another day of work.  Have a lunch appointment with someone I used to work with today.  That should be nice.  I haven't seen her for awhile.  She was one of our lay offs here at our office and I felt bad because I was hired after her, but they let her go. But someone had to go and it came down to personalities.  She had a difficult time getting along with people.  Co-workers and clients.  I take everything in stride and don't let the petty stuff get to me so everyone thinks I'm just a happy go lucky person.  They should only know how I seeth inside.  LOL  But, I'm employed, so I guess I'm doing something right.  I just make it a point of trying to get along with everyone.  If I have a problem with someone, I will address it, but I address it in a non-confrontational manner.  I'll calmly state the facts of the situation and ask the other person what we can do to fix it.  So far, so good and the girls who I supervise seem to like me and my style so all is well. Of course I could also be living in a dreamworld and only think they all like me.  Ahhhh, Pollyanna and Scarlett O'Hara all rolled into one.  LOL

OK, time for another cup of coffee and to get busy.  Hope everyone has a great day and remember to do something wonderful for yourself.

Rise and shine!  Hope everyone has a great day.  By the way, it's almost Friday....LOL

Good MOrning Everyone!  I am up, I am awake (not) and taking nourishment.  I seriously want to go back to bed tho.

I walked about 5 miles last night and it was a good invigorating walk.  I feel good!  I finished my kitchen!!!!!!  Got the wainscoating up, the chair rail in (I suck at 45 degree corner angles!) but it is in and looks good.  I will post a picture here in a bit.  All we have left to do is pick out a floor and I can't do that until Joe comes home.  I've narrowed it down to 2 choices.  One is hardwood and the other is tile.  We'll see what baldy likes. 

Tonight brings me a nail appointment, walking again and I'm going to curl up and relax.

The wind is blowing and my allergies are kicking up big time.  Ugh.

Water is going in, vitamins are in and I am doing my stretches!

Heard from Joe Joe - there's snow on the ground and it's coooooolllllld!

Good Morning All,

I would love to join the LB walkers/runners to celebrate and offer support.  Please let me know when the dinner will take place and I will try to be there. 

Not much going on with me today.  Last night, I talked to one of my favorite cousin's in Baltimore.  I can wait to see them next year. 
Last night, I went to DSW to buy some closed in shoes for this cold weather (Soft Spots).  I had another pair but they were too big ( I will bring them with me to the next coffee) and they just flopped off of my feet.  It was like I was wearing sandals. Sigh.  One thing that I have realized is that I have small heels.  I had bought another pair of shoes, but they were not made of leather and when my feet sweated, they slid down in the shoe.  You think foot powder/spray would help?  Oh, well.

Take care.  Remember, we need more love and peace in the world.

The El Dorado is cool, I prefer the bar....but don't care for the food at all. Since I'm not in training and only doing the 5k I'll meet you guys for a drinky....What time do you think we should meet up? 5pm?

I'm excited, you wild ladies are going to take over the poor El Dorado! :D

 

Good Morning Everyone,

Well today brings work and a walk tonight.  Need to watch the Twins & Tigers game tonight to see who gets into the Post Season.  Anxiously awaiting to see when the Angels will play.  Will it be Wed. or Thurs..  The Angels need to kick some serious butt and get past to damn Red Sox.  I want everyone here on the board  cheering with me now:  "LET'S GO ANGELS".  I don't dislike the Dodgers they are just not my favorite team.  However on that note:  "LET'S GO DODGERS".  You see, I would love nothing better than a Freeway World Series.  I hate that baseball is coming to an end, but it's got to be to make room for football.  The greatest thing about football is the new commercials.  I don't understand football or know anything about it.  I do however like the Cowboys and will watch a game with my hubby.

Looking forward to Michelle T. getting here on Friday.  It may just be the two of us on Friday as my husband is supposed to take a client to the Laker Game.   We'll find something to do as long as we stay out of trouble.   Picking up packets on Saturday for the race and not sure if we will walk the expo, but maybe just for a bit.  Yes we want to get together on Saturday around 5ish would be good for the El Dorado. 

Not sure how much fun I will be due to finances while Michelle is here, but I am hoping that maybe I can get my daughter to give us both manicures.  She is a cosmotology student and needs practice.  This would allow us to sit at the table with our laptops, getting pretty fingers and playing with our farms.  Michelle met my sister online last week, and I think she believes that we are crazy, literally.  We have so much fun farming and chatting late at night.  I think maybe the fun thing to do would be to go get sized for a bra since we have never had that done.  

Of course the post season will be on and I will be glued to the TV, sorry Michelle you will be a sports widow at my house as well.

12 post op appt. tomorrow, and I am at a 2 week stall with no weight loss.  Need to take new pics tonight and measurements because clothes are falling off so there must be inches gone.  I am also in desperate need of clothes.

My thoughts and prayers are out to all the people affected by the fire and the firefighters.  Also to DD, for a speedy recovery.

Has anyone talked to Ms Shell in the last couple of days?  How is she coming along?

Ok, back to work and remember:

LET'S GO ANGELS  

Good Morning Jean and Cali Friends.  Happy to hear you are seeing someone again.  It is nice he is from the old days. Wishing you well.

Wishing everyone a great Tuesday!

Hugs

Good Morning Miss Jean and Cali

So glad that you are up so early, but what the hell, do you ever sleep?  Do you go back to sleep or are you up for the day?  As for me, I am loving the cold weather, even tho it is almost over.  It's supposed to be more normal this weekend, close to 90 here.  I just wi**** would make up it's mind.

Everything here is good.  Doug came home again late last night, and today he is in demobilazation mode.  That means he will no longer be assigned to the fire.  We got to make Heather so happy yesterday, Dougie drove by her house and it was fine, that really releived some tension.  She appreciates all the thoughts and prayers.  This is a reminded to all of us, keep your important papers and pictures in a safe place, and know where they are at, because when there are times like this, any emergency, those really are the only things you want to take.

Anyway I am going to take a shower, and get ready.  It's a day out for me this afternoon, but not any fun, it's a doctors appt.  I like both of the doctors I see today, so it's ok, I get hugs from both of them, and we have fun. They are really great people besides their medical abilities.

Jean so glad to see you are JUST DATING!  You are one hot looking woman and I am so glad that you are out having fun in your life, you deserve it all.

Hugs, Diane

Hey California......

Quick check in.  I've been updating on Facebook mostly.  Yesterday I was running late to work and walking at almost a jog to get there on time.  There was a rise or bump in the sidewalk and I went flying, literally.  Glasses, coffee and cell phone all six feet away from me in different directions.  I landed on my elbows and knees and have bruises and scrapes like a 6- year old.

I actually felt ok and went on to work for five hours.  Started hurting last night.

Then this morning I was up at 5:45 am to catch the bus to work at 6:45am and I was hacking and coughing something awful AGAIN.  I hurt all over.  Felt like I'd been hit by a freight train.  Harley called the lady I work for to let her know what was going on and I've been in bed ever since.  I just need to let my body rest and heal.  I need to work, but I also need to be healthy to prepare for this move......so I have to take care of myself today.  If it was anyone else, I'd tell them to stay in bed.  Why do I have such a hard time letting myself do that?

I'm also very worried because in the past week and a half I've only gotten one good run and one long walk in.  I hope this doesn't affect my training.  At the very least, I'll run as long as I can and fnish walking.  I guess there's no shame in that.  I just want to heal before Sunday's event.  

So I'm resting and hoping all of you have a great Tuesday.
