TGI TUESDAY roll call
Good morning everyone. I am at work. Last day here until next Tuesday. I am trying very hard to control my elation but with the temperature supposedly going into 60's today for the rest of the week, it's very hard not to be excited. I am at work till 4 and then picking the girls up at school.
The only thing I'm not looking forward to with my upcoming 6 days off from here is my eating schedule. When I work my normal job, I have such a set routine and I eat really well throughout the day. I love it. However when I have a day off, I have no routine and totally screw myself up. It sucks. Even working my Paramedic jobs, I have a little bit more of a routine. So while I love the days off, I really almost prefer to work because of that routine. I work Wednesday and Thursday night (paramedic) and then am off the rest of the days.
So anyhow... that's about all for me for today. Hope everyone can get out and enjoy some of the lovely sunshine today.

Good morning all - I am posting from home because the mornings at work have been crazy lately and i am SURE you all wanted to hear from me today! :)
Pam - sounds crazy......Were there actually any sick people? That is how Larry talks about it - he can have an absolutely busy crazy night and come home and say - not one was actually sick. He hates when people are stupid! Anyway.....
Today is teaching until 3:15, heading home to pack my dinner, picking up Molly and heading out to Hebrew school, (We actually did NOT go on Sunday as there was no power and we cancelled school), tutor and then more School tonight. A typical Tuesday for me!
I have nothing witty or exciting to add - oh - wait - at Barix tomorrow night I will be able to talk about my year. I am almost a year out and get to talk about it at the support group meeting tomorrow night. I have been looking forward to this for several months. I am bringing my family with me as they are the reason that I changed my health! I can't believe it is almost a year - and yet the struggles are still there.....OY!!!!!!
Have a great Tuesday all and I am thinking the clouds may be dissipating! YAY!!!!

Good Morning everyone !
Today has me at work today until 3:30 and then I'll go to the gym and run a couple of errands.
Also, I'm quite pleased with myself this morning. I decided to go back-to-basics this week since I have been in a stall and not entirely pleased with my eating lately. I am happy to report that I stuck to plan all day yesterday and that it really wasn't that hard. Hopefully I can keep it up today.
Hope everyone has a super day !

Hi everyone.
I'm a little frustrated by the tech issues that have flared up at work again. No server access - which in one way, gives me some "free" time, but in another way throws my schedule way off at a time when I just can't afford it.
So I'm reading/working on a book called 'The Renewal Coaching Workbook' these days. Got turned onto it by a friend who went through the (very pricey) training, and ended up writing an endorsement for the workbook. Hopefully there will be some insights that will especially motivate me in some areas of life that aren't feeling real motivated right now (such as work). Maybe I've just been in this job too long - I do enjoy working directly with people but the internal politics and communication drive me nuts. I'm looking at 5 years till retirement, and that realization is probably making me restless too.
On the home front, Mike is recovering from hemorrhoid surgery. NOT a pleasant experience. It has been almost 3 weeks and he is still struggling. Of course he went back to work as fast as he could - dr. says this is an "invasive" procedure and a lot of people take 2 weeks off. He was back in 3 days. So we aren't doing much "extra" sutff in the evenings. He can barely make it through his days. Poor guy.
OK...I'll take advantage of the server problem to get out and walk 4 miles this morning. Then back, hopefully work a bit, then get ready and drive into Philly for a site visit and meeting this afternoon (don't know the area and hope I can find a place to park!). Home in the thick of traffic on the Schuylkill...having leftover pepper steak for dinner.
Enjoy the day everyone!

Good morning all - saw the weather report for the rest of the week and it does look like its going to be awesome - sadly it was not reflected in my attitude this morning. Not sure what my problem is but I have a major grouch on right now, so I'm trying to keep my mouth shut and stick to myself.
Not much else new for me right now - trying to eat better and get back to a good routine - walked last night but that was it. Did go thru more of mom's stuff and packed it up for my niece because she's going to need things once she gets out of rehab - doesn't look like the husband is going to take her back so we're not sure where she'll be going.
Other than that I'm at work and settling in for the day. Hoping this miserable mood goes away.

WOW what a night! I hope that it at least made you forget about the cramps and made the time fly. Yesterday was an atrocious day at work here too, hoping for a better one and tuesday is pay-day so TGI Tuesday is ok with me too lol.
I am at wor****il 4 - I think that we have a site visit by a PITA customer, I only have to shake hands and answer questions, honestly I forgot he was coming so I am still in my jeans but look OK. The preggo lady gets away with more right? lol
It's starting out to be another one of "those days" too - chaos and fixing people's mistakes already. Not really a mistake just a "didn't do it"
Have a good day all.
Safe travels to Jersey Pam.

morning all.. sounds like you had a hell of a night last night Pam.. hopefully you'll get rest today before you have to go to Jersey tonight.
Today has me working 5:45-3:30
At some point today I am hoping to hear from Pearle that Siehara's glasses are in. They were supposed to be there yesterday, but were not. If they come in, we will go get them after dinner.
Cooking spinach chicken bake for dinner
Siehara has therapy
I have a synagogue board meeting. They are requesting the presence of as many board members as possible, so I guess I need to go to this one. This also means that I need to find somewhere for Siehara to hang out or something to keep her busy during the meeting.
Long day today. I have to focus on work because I have spent the past month or so fixing mistakes I have made over the past few months and I need to try to get my stuff together... (also looking for other position, hopefully within Aetna so I can move on)

Pam - sorry to hear about your night... does that also count as a workout? I hope you have a quiet and relaxing day today and that Mother Nature lets up on you.
I got my butt to the gym this morning - it's SO tough right now with the time change and just craving that extra bit of sleep! But it felt good to do a nice cardio warmup and a full weight circuit, so now I'm awake and feeling better.
I'm at work all day today and then home to finish the second coat of paint (did one color last night, but wasn't up for all the detail "accent" color work. That's tonight.
I realized that I'm feeling really out of control right now in several areas of my life and that's affecting some of my food choices in a negative way. Now that I realize WHY I'm having some of these impulses/cravings, that will hopefully give me a handle on them and will help me better control them. I also have to address the areas where I'm feeling stressed at home in a more productive way and either change them (if I can) or change my response to them. Easier said than done, though.
Ah well, no one ever said progress would be easy. But ultimately it's worth it.

Good Afternoon Pam,
I am having one of those weeks. I hate the time change and ran late today and yesterday, so late today I had to call work to have them cover my homeroom.
Today after work, I am going home, putting my feet up and grading papers. I am ordering take-out to be delivered, because I feel so lazy. Or, I may hit Wawa on the way home and get some soup.
I hope everyone has a decent rest of the day.
Huggles,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
