Tuesday WLS Express

Good morning y'all.  Let's get moving!!!!!!!!!!

Morning y'all.  I'm having a hard time waking up this morning.  Need my caffeine to kick in.  I didn't go to my part-time job yesterday because I wasn't feeling well & needed to go to Walmart.  They're fine with it as long as I get my 15 hours in by Thursday so tonight & tomorrow will be a little longer than usual but not by too much so all is well there. 

I filled out an online form to get an appt with my PCP for Friday.  They do appts online & I LOVE that.  Anyway...need to figure this tummy thing out.  I wouldl REALLY appreciate prayers & support that this is nothing but I'm starting to worry.  Symptoms point to an ulcer if you didn't see my post.  Antacids I bought made me feel better in no time. Not good but still praying it is nothing by my imagination. 

Anyway...so nothing going on for today, tomorrow & Thursday except work.  Where is everyone?  I miss folks--seems we have lots that are no longer posting or posting infrequently & that makes me sad.  I need my support system badly right now.  I have had zero problems until now and really need you guys because I'm scared.  I can ask for help & prayers here but have difficulty reaching out in person or by text, etc..

Ok so I need to wake up.  Supposed to get freezing cold this afternoon.  Praying our temps stay at or above freezing cause they're talking a bit of ice.  YUCK.

Prayers for everyone who is looking for work.  Prayers for everyone.  I love you guys.

Hugs & Love,

Jeri

Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOOOO and oooooh yuck that weather out there is looking nasty!

I'm staying nice and warm and toasty in my fuzzy jammies and working from home today.....  For all ya'll that have to get out and about today, please be careful, it's supposed to get worse before it gets better!

Ms Jeri, I'm suring hoping your stomach issues get resolved soon, it's bad enough having a grouchy pouchy without ulcers too....

Prayers are going up for all that need them, especially Vickie O.....

Here's the Edgar Winters Group's Free Ride to get us up and moving this morning! 


The mountain is high, the valley is low,
And you're confused 'bout which to go,
So I flew in to give you a hand,
And lead you into, the promised land.

Come on and take a free ride,
free ride,
Come on and take it by my side,
Come on and take a free ride!

All over the country, I'm seeing the same,
Nobody's winning, at this type of game,
We gotta do better, it's time to begin,
You know all the answers
Must come from within.

Come on and take a free ride,
free ride,
Come on and take it by my side,
Come on and take a free ride!

Come on and take a free ride,
free ride,
Come on and take it by my side,
Come on and take a free ride!

Ya'll have a great day my friends!

Thanks, Karen!  I'm being whiny now. lol  I am NOT a good sick person & this is getting old now.

Have a great day...I'm jealous you get to work from home.  This is the perfect day for that!

Hugs,

GOOD MORNING! Except like you I'm having trouble waking. I woke at 3am, managed to snuggle up against hubby and go back to sleep, but then turned alarm off at 4 when it went off to get up and before I knew it, it was 4:30! Thankfully I build in some quiet time for me in the morning so I just slept through that. lol. Waiting till 5 to look at news. Actually the state head freds at the health and human services are supposed to have a conference call at 5 and make a call so we'll see. I don't know what the weather is like- probably just fine- because the news doesn't start until 5. So we'll see. I looked outside- didn't see any ice in the backyard at least!
Yesterday I wore a skirt and a shirt that actually fit. This has become an issue for me. I wear clothing that is too big because I'm self concious about the skin. So I was proud of me for wearing my shapeware and clothing that was more my true size. I pulled on my shirt all day because of it-which I got fussed at for by a co-worker who knew how I felt and she said I looked fine- and I got a few compliments even. Its funny when I first lost the weight I couldn't wait to wear a smaller size- then I gained some back and now its like I don't want to wear my actual size. Easier to hide behind bigger clothes. What's up with that????
Jeri-hope you don't have an ulcer but at least you are finding some relief with antacids. Hope the fix you right up. Prayers for Vickie O- that's certainly not good but I know she'll be taken good care of. Prayers for mama Que for her back- I am a pain WIMP so I can only imagine the amount of pain that she endures-she's so strong. Sure hope they find a non-surgical solution for her. Liz- you feeling any better? I sure hope so! Prayers for all those in need - I love you all.

Cut my finger today while making Chris's lunch-only I could do that. lol. Oh yesterday I just have to say I experienced the funniest thing. I work in a building attached to La Gran Plaza which is predominantly hispanic owned businesses and I love it because of the culture. I love the Mexican food place I eat at, at the mall. There are a few but one in particular is really good. I don't speak Spanish but I understand alot of what the words are at least. Yesterday I decided to try a new Italian food place at the mall. However, the menu was 1/2 English and 1/2 Spanish-and not corresponding 1/2's like you'd think. Just some things they decided to put in English and some in Spanish. So I panicked and ordered a chicken ceasar salad because that was in English. It wasn't until I was sitting there waiting till I could translate the rest. But it was just odd to see Italian food, written in Spanish, yet I could only order in English because I don't know Spanish well enough to try to speak it. The salad was good which is more than I can say for the Japanese food restaurant that they opened a few months ago. Or the Chinese food place that they opened over a year ago. I know, I should just stick with Mexican food, but I'm always the one that will try new things. Didn't use to be like that before surgery though. Now I'm up for almost anything that isn't seafood related. Sorry, just can't do seafood.

Well crap-news is on and it looks like work is on. Better get moving!!! Everyone drive safely today!!!!

Looks like I'm going to work today.  I was so hoping for a freeze so I could stay home.  I'm not feeling any better today than I was yesterday.  Sinus' are horrible, throat is sore and I'm coughing and my chest hurts.  I'm not going to stay home sick because I don't want the sick leave on my record.  We'll see how it goes.  If it freezes tonight, then I might get to stay home tomorrow because then it will be Admin leave and won't count against me!  Pray for ice!!

I spoke to one of my old bosses yesterday.  He's in agreement with me that the jobs I'm puttinig if for would be good for me.  He hates to see me go, but he understands that I need to.  I know that if he could, he'd give me a job in a minute, but it's not up to him right now.  Sure wi**** were, because I'd love to work for him again!  Keep your fingers crossed that I get an interview!  I need to find some old writing samples to show my talents in that regards!  I think my disks are in the garage! Ugh, wonder how long it will take me to look through all that junk!  Better get started tonight!!

Well, better get into the tepid shower and get to work!  Everybody have a great day!  Remember your vitamins and fluids, get plenty of protein!  You make your own attitude so make it a good one!!

Love you! 

Forgot that I was going to post the latest on my DD & DSIL.  I'm frustrated with her because she didn't bother to let me know this until yesterday & here I was sad because they were moving & I didn't get to see them beforehand...oh well.  Their move has been put off for now.  They will be leaving sometime within the next few months but they don't have a date right now.  She won't be leaving until the girls get out of school...not that it matters for me cause I never see them even though they're an hour away.

Okay I am definately whiny today.  Sorry y'all.  I need to perk up my mood.  *sigh*

Love you all,

Jeri

Good morning.  Hope you get to feeling better, Jeri.  Sorry about not seeing your DD and GK much.  Can you visit them on weekends if they're only an hr. away?
