Blue Saturday

For some reason--I was really down today. I just think all this snow and winter has really gotten to me. I needed to get out! I was actually going to go to a movie by myself...didn't think I would be good company to anyone! I did a three mile walk aerobics tape with 1/2 lb weights on my wrists...quite a workout! I also walked outside--for a mile. Picked up my 17 yr old from work and he offered to drive me to the casino...my friend called and said she and HER son would join us! So--we had two handsome young chauffeurs to the casino..treated them to dinner..then we went and gambled. I came home 100 dollars ahead! What a way to improve my mood! Thank goodness Blue Satuday didn't last for long! Joanie

Glad you ended up having a bright spot in your day Joanie. I have been feeling blue as well. A quick update on me.... Last Saturday I was at the mall where I aparently had a full blown grand mal seizure from some medicine they had given me for migraines. I bit the heck out of my tongue. It just seems that I have spent more time in the hospital this year than out of it. So some new things... I am anemic, my folate counts are down but on the brighter side, I just bought a new bikini. Hopefully the health issues will resolve soon and I can get back to being my *****y self. Hugs, Maggie

Joanie and Maggie, When I come home from DEafcruise on April 10th, I will bring the warmer weather up the north to lift people up for better moods ! SMILE! Maggie I am so sorry you went back to hosptial back and forth but the bright news you got new clothes. I am not ready for that because my stomach needs Tummy Tuck but it will be in late 2006.I will be patience to accept this stomach but I felt great from my health which is more important! Joanie, Please make a plan you and I will go to Moghegan Sun Casino ( it is only 10 min from my house) in the future. Meet me there on April 28th at 530 where they have support group there that my trainer is giving lecture there. I hate Winter too!!! My mom and I went to shooping and got some summer clothes. My pant size is xlarge to compare 3 X last year. I felt fgood even thought it is hard to fit because of my lossing skin from my stomach.I just ironed Nicky s summer clothes abd put into plastic to make smaller for packing. I am so exciting for April 1st! Joanie I can make for your party if it is on SAt May 13. Email me private to chat to beat Winter blues. Spend your money for new clothes for 100.00!!! Maggie I have not see you for a while and hope to see you soon! You are in my mind once a s while! SMILE! Hugs Kathy K

Maggie Gee-I feel awful feeling blue over nothing--you have been thourgh so much these past few months. How scary about the seizure. I will continue to pray for you...that you will be able to enjoy all the sucess you have achieved with your weight loss! Bikini? You have to be so proud of that..all the plastic surgery in the world...couldn't put me in a bikini..I will need a miracleworker for that!! Keep your chin up..better times are coming. Take care...friend. Love, Joanie

Hi Joanie I am so looking forward to being on my feet again. I can't work or drive for six months because of the seizure. Going to be a fun summer for me. I will find a way to get to come meet all of you. The seizures were scary, but I'm glad that the EEG came back fine. Looks like it was all due to the migraine medicine. I am super psyched about the bikini. Victoria's Secrets is loving me these days. It's a whole new world opened up to me. Hugs, Maggie

I think you described this incorrectly. This was not a blue day. It was a GREEN day I wish everytime I got depressed I would go to the casino and win money Peter
