Wacky Wednesday Roll Call

LOL NOpe! It's horrible isn't it?! Today I will force myself to stop. There's always been a reason - left work late and they are closed, had an appt and couldn't stop there first

I will stop tonight, I will stop tonight! lol

Good morning everyone - Trish, best of luck with finding a new group you're more comfortable with and hope you're feeling better soon.

Pam it sounds like you're making the right move for yourself - that job is not worth your health (mental or physical) going down the tubes.

As for me I'm at work this morning -- by myself. Guess everyone is dealing with sun glare this morning instead of rain? Nothing too exciting going on for me today - work, then tonight taking my nephew out to buy paint and supplies so he can get started in the house on a list of projects I have for him.

I am really excited about something - my BFF, her hubby, my hubby and I are going to see RINGO STARR in July out at the American Music Theatre in Lancaster!! I LOVE Ringo and have never seen any of the Beatles in concert so this is a real treat for me - my bff loves Paul and has seen him a bunch of times - so this is something I'm really excited about and looking forward to.

Enjoy the sunshine and warmer weather coming our way - it's making me feel better already!!

Kathy

Kathy - great news about the Ringo Starr tickets !  I'm sure it will be a great show.

Kathy the AMT is a great theater. I saw Ringo Starr years ago....it was a great show and I hope you have a WONDERFUL time!

Trish, my head hurts just thinkng about your whack! Especially with the nausea - be careful to watch yourself!

Pam, sometimes you just "know." At least in nursing there are options for jobs. I am having to work on my attitude with my job right now - love some things about it, but far from thrilled with others. I can't leave though - we are trying to reach some financial goals so we can (maybe) (someday) (eventually) (hopefully) (perhaps) retire. Anyway, let me wonder this aloud here - do you find that your tolerance for crap is much less since you have lost weight? We put up with so much of it when we are heavy, because we have no "voice" and it seems that we have fewer choices - and I'm generalizing here, I know, and maybe it was just my experience. I will be curious to hear how your friend takes the news. I hope the new day and a couple of days off clears your brain and opens up some new avenues to explore.

As for me, I am facing the life lesson today that you can't really burn the candle at both ends. Yesterday I went into work late due to a dental appt. and an appt. w/ my PCP. Typically I can work at home on a day like that, but our server is a mess and I couldn't access certain information from home. Besides, I like being in the office late, when nobody's around, and I can get a LOT done. Bottom line is, I got home at 10:30 last night and for some strange reason am not ultra motivated to jump right in early this morning.

At noon I work out with Rikki, then go to the dermatologist. (It's "medical week" in Lynn's life I guess - mammogram the other day, dermatologist, dentist, and PCP!)

I'll start some dinner - we are making a conscious effort to eat out less. Easier on the budget and healtier all around. Tonight I am broiling some pork chops, or might pull some of my homemade SF barbecue sauce out and put some on them.

Have a good day everyone!

In answer to your questions - sometimes yes and sometimes no.  This is NOT one of those times.  My biggest issues with this is that this night (and MANY other nights of late) have been down right dangerous.  To the point where I feel my license could be at risk by being over stretched and god forbid making a huge, FATAL mistake and that is the LAST thing I want to do.

I told all but one of my close friends there in person, or at least made a phone call to them this am to let them know. My other friend, I am calling a little later in the day.  They all understood why I was leaving and one of them actually said to me "You are sooooo making the right move, this place sucks, you've already moved onto to bigger and better things, and if you can give that place your all, or at least get certifications that will allow you to do better things, then go for it.  We will miss you personally, but on a corporate level, F*** them - they are killing us one by one"  I cried a LOT this morning in their offices......partly because I will miss them, partly because my still inner "fluffy" self is screaming to not rock the boat and just go with it, and partly because I am still partially scared of doing something so drastic so "quickly"  Quickly NOT because I'm giving a "I'm having a bad night off the cuff resignation" - I've thought about this for quite frankly months now - Brian has told me to resign on multiple occassions - but quickly because I made the decision, I wrote the letter, and I handed it in.  Once I made that decision, I didn't let my other fears hold me back.  Perhaps now that I've lost a lot of weight I do have less tolerance...but in this cir****tance...I am just DONE

morning all.. I need to jump in the shower so I haven't had a chance to really read everyone's posts.  But, I hope everyone is well and making good decisions today regarding food and life and whatever decisions need to be made.

I am headed to synagogue again today for day 2 of Passover.  This afternoon I will come home and relax and then plan to go to the gym tonight for either spin or boot camp..I'll have to see how I feel later and which one I think I can handle.

That's it for me.. back to work tomorrow.

Good morning Trish and everyone!  I am already having a "morning"

First I woke up with a headache - don't have many of those lately and not sure why it is hanging around.  Also - today is two very interesting things for me.  One - it is my sugiversary - I will post about that some time later today, however, it is also my mom's birthday.  She would have been 65 today.  The first birthday I spent without her was strange but I persevered and played Mah Jongg with girl friends to honor her - She played every week for years!  Then last year - my second without her, I was having a life-changing surgery...so here I am another year without her and not sure what my day is going to hold.  It is the first day of Spring Break - Molly has an appointment with a new Psychiatrist and I am hoping that it is a good match.  I then want to take her to start shopping for new bedroom furniture - however, I am not so sure how I am paying for it if we find anything - but that will come I guess.

I am just looking outside my window and am seeing how pretty it is out there - hopefully some fresh air will clear my head and I will enjoy the day.  We have NO OTHER plans other than the doctor - so I am hoping for all good things!

Have a great Wednesday everyone! :)

Happy Surgiverary...that is awesome.  You have done so well in the past year.

I understand about missing your mother.  It has been a little over two years for my brother to be gone.  He died in February '08.  My other brother, at age 40, died six weeks after my surgery.  It is so hard to adjust to not having loved ones around, and mourning and grieving take time.

You do well in the ways that you honor your mother.  Keep that up, as she obviously was a terrific lady.  She has a terrific daughter.

Happy Surgiversary Steffi!! You have a wonderful day for it - finally no rain!

That's wonderful the way  you honored your mom - I know I'm going to face a lot of difficult 'firsts' this year without mine - Mother's Day - her birthday in June - the holidays - but we will get through them.

Take care and congrats on having such a spectacular first year!!
