TERRIFIC TUESDAY ROLL CALL
OMG WTF am I doing up at 3:00 in the morning?
I was woken up around 1:30 by a loud, intermittent beeping alarm. I checked the smoke detector-nothing; went out in the hallway-nothing; checked outside to be sure there were no flames or smoke coming from anywhere-all is peaceful outside. Inside, I continue to hear this strange alarm. I followed the noise to the kitchen and took the panel off my kitchen cabinet where the water heater is stored. There is a little box in there that nobody told me about. Here is the source of the noise. I called maintenance to let them know that this thing is going off and it's now 2:00 AM. He said that it is a dampness alarm and is there any water? NO.. so he told me to just take it out of the area and if it still goes off in the morning to call them and they will replace the battery. OK.. I put it on the counter, get back in bed and almost fall back asleep and the damn thing goes off again. I managed to rip it open and took the freakin' battery out myself. In the meantime, I had already taken down the smoke detector and taken out the battery thinking it was that. When I put the battery back in, it started beeping that single annoying beep that tells you it's time to change the battery. OMG!!! So now, I have two battery free alarms sitting on my dining room table and I am now too wired to go back to sleep.
SO, here goes roll call. Hopefully, I'll go back to sleep for a bit... up again at 6:00. Working a bit of OT today. Need to go to the store to pick up a few things, including 9V batteries. After work, I will head to the gym right at 4:30 when kid care opens. Then, we have family session with Siehara's therapist. Somewhere in there, we need to eat dinner. Bed early?!?! I hope after tonight's adventures.
That's it for me. I'm going to go lay down and try to go back to sleep. Hope everyone has a great day and I hope mine gets better.

Good morning, all!
Lisa---that's a rough start to your day! Why do batteries always seem to die in the middle of the night??? I had a dog who would have panic attacks from noise---I would wake up with her standing over me, shaking and staring at me, and the smoke detector beeping intermittently. So I can sympathize with you!
Today has me headed to my PCP in the morning. I'm hoping he'll take me off the blood pressure med now.
Then it's off to work till about 6:00. I need to get some exercise in after that too.
Have a great day, everyone!

Lisa,
How horrible. Did you check you horoscpe for the day? Actuallu, I don't beleive in them, but that is really annoying trying to sleep and getting woken up. I sure hope you get some rest today.
I managed to muddle through the day yesterday at work. I had some periods of energy and other times I thought I was going to die, just draggin., but I did make it.
when I came home from work, I walked about 1/2 mile with a friend and then went to the shrink support group, which was ok. I will give it another try and see if it is worthwhile.
I was so exhausted when I got home that I fell asleep. Although, I did manage to get in 48 oz of fluid, I only had 292 calories of food and 33g of protein which wasn't good. I will focus on doing a better job today.
Enjoy the day Lisa and everyone.

Lisa - I sure hope that the days goes better then the night!!
I had a very restless night so needless to say I am exhausted this morning. Today I am at work to fight another day until 4 then it is off to the bank, my first therapy appointment and home to make dinner and bed early! I always try but that never seems to happen!

Sorry to here about the sleep loss. Seems to be down my way also. Woke up two hours before my alarm and have not been able to sleep.
Leaving for work at 7pm to visit a customer all day. A business lunch and probably dinner. Maybe get in some play time with the son and a little exercise. I know my eating will be out of control today.

Good Morning Lisa & PA:
Wow, sleepless night must have been the thing last night. Gene work up at 1am and could not sleep.
Today, I will be starting the full liquid phase of my journey. I'm planning to take a walk after 10:30 when I give myself my shot to prevent blood clots then I can go out.
Then I'll come home and start reading for my class that begins on Thursday.
Yesterday was the first I felt completely drained of energy by 4pm. I had to take a nap then slept through the night, however I have been up and awake since about 5:30am. Guess I'm still on hospital time, that is when the nurses would come in the room and get my day started.
Hope everyone has a great day...

Good Morning all.........
I went to bed at 10 and slept like a roc****il 5. I am still EXHAUSTED but that has to do with medical problems I have, not lack of actual sleep! LOL
I am at wor****il 3:30, then rush to get kiddos and get them started on thier evening before I head for class at 5:30. Tuesdays are my longest work/class day and they always have me stressed and bummed about the little time I see the kids. But.....I will get through it.
I turn in my first composition paper tonight. I had to write a 5 page personal narrative about an epiphany I've had in my life. Ugh........but it's done and hopefully it will get a good grade.
Hope everyone has a great day. I think it is supposed to be gloomy and full of scattered showers here in south central PA.

When life hands you lemons, ask for tequila & salt and give me a call!
Hi All -
Hmmm...lots of sleep problems today. Not me.....I went to bed around 10:00, woke up to go potty a couple of times and was up at 5:30, which is my usual time.
Today has me at work til 3:30pm and then off to the Doc's to work my part-time job tonight. We've been really busy with sickies, so I'm sure tonight will be no different.
Hope everyone has a great day !
Lisa

Ick what a horrible way to start the day. Alarms are horrid when they are erroneous.
So I'm tired. Stayed up to watch my Dolphins lose in the last minutes because they are slow turtles. AAAAHHH I love them but they make me scream.
Today finds me at work again. 2nd day back and all is well. Got a new project and reading through all the fun documentation that comes with.
I'll go to the gym again tonight but will add a few "strength" exercises before my 'bike' ride. I'm digging the upright bike however it needs a bigger seat for my bottom. (hate the one where you legs are forward. Like the seat though)
Everyone have a great day.
