Good Morning Illinois!

I'm starting this post as Christine is in Indiana I believe. Happy to say that I got through traffic school last night. The course was for 4 hours and by the time I got home I was so exhausted. It took some time for me to relax and go to sleep. This morning I am so tired! I'll be off to bed early tonight but first get in my bubble bath Tomorrow night I have my support meeting at Alexian and can't wait to see my friends. It seems like such a long time between meetings! Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Thursday! Hugs, Lucy

Good morning Lucy. Glad you are done with traffic school. I am off to the doctor today, having massive muscle spasms, and my bones just ache. I was up most of the nihgt in tears with it. A bubble bath sounds great, and I imagine I can do that now, thanks for the idea. Hugs, Dee

Good morning Dee! Sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be taking a bubble bath again. I haven't done that since I was a kid. I even bought a bath pillow to rest my head and light a lavender candle (lights turned off), play some soothing music and just relax. It works wonders. Couldn't do it last night as I got home so late after traffic school. Take care! Lucy

Dee, Hope you are feeling better now after you have been to the doctor. Take care, Chris

Good Morning my OH Friends - Happy Thursday to all. DH and I had a wonderful get away to Eagle Ridge Golf & Spa Resort near Galena, IL. Ahhh.. It was so relaxing being able to sip coffee sitting on the patio overlooking a beautiful golf course instead of sitting here at work. The weather was perfect. DH enjoyed a round of golf while I treated myself to a massage and pedicure. It was so needed and worth it. We all need to treat ourselves from time to time. Lucy - I too try to get a bubble bath in at least once a week. I prefer more often but seem to run out of time. I bought myself a bath pillow a few weeks back. I get so relaxed that I sometimes fall asleep and then wake up when the water starts cooling off. It's a wonderful way to wind down after a stressful day. I know what you mean about looking forward to our meetings and seeing friends. Once a month is just too long to wait to see everyone. Dee - Hope you get to feeling better and the Doc gives you something to help w/ the pain. Chris - Hope you are having a nice time in Amish Town. Where abouts did you go? My step-father is from Goshen, IN which is a nice quaint Amish Town. Enjoy your time away. Hope you're feeling better too! BTW, I'm looking forward to a little get together. Let me know what I can do to help get this organized. Sounds like a great time. Everyone else...... Stop lurking! Come say hello. Have a great day! Christina

Hi Christina! Sounds like your weekend getaway was a success. YAY!! Sometimes,that is just what is needed. I am looking forward to our get together at Chris' house. It's a day after my birthday so I can continue with my celebrations I'm glad the weekend is near and time for some needed rest! Take care. Lucy

Christina, oh, I am so looking forward to having a massage in the Dells in late June at Chula Vista. Fresh coffee right about now sounds so wonderful but I know if I even had a sip I would be wide awake all night. I wonder what else I could do during the night?. . . (as Chris taps the side of her face thinking). We had lunch in Goshen at the Olympia, a soda fountain place in downtown. I like both Goshen and Elkhart. I could live in either place. Now, if I could only make a living here. I am overskilled for this area. Take care, CB

Good morning everyone!! I can only take showers at my apartment, no tub. Maybe someday when I get a house of my own I will have a tub!! Going to work this afternoon and waiting for friday!! Traffic school is not fun, I did it once and dont want to do it again!!

Good Morning everyone! Everyone seems to be enjoying their bubble baths, as i am just starting my wonderful journy into WLS. Hopfully one of these days i will too be able to enjoy a bubble bath. I only have a regular size bath tub, and well.. um.. it just dont work with me..lol. Anyway, I am looking forward to meeting new friends on here, and starting a *new* improved life. Take care and everyone have a GREAT day! Brandi:type:

Hi Brandi - Sorry I just saw your response from yesterday. Congratulations on taking the first steps to a healthier you. Do you have a surgery date? What type of surgery are you planning to have? If I'm being too nosy, just tell me to shut up or mind my own business. LOL I too only have a single bath so it's nice being able to finally enjoy my "me" time. You will meet great friends on the boards and gain a wealth of knowldge from these folkes. If you have any questions, ask away. Enjoy your weekend. It's going to be beautiful.
