Good Morning, Its Humpday Oh I mean Wednesday.....
Hi there,
I see noone has started the thread for today, So I thought I would do it. It is 0145am and I am still up. I got involved in knitting and watching TLC.
Nothing much going on with Carl and I. We are going to be going to Ft lauderdale area to see some friends for the weekend. They baught a new house and I want to go and check it out.
I got this idea in my head to start to look for a job. But my gut feeling is telling me to wait till I see the oncologist and get my medication situated again. My doc changed my thyroid dose and Walgreens cant get the dose she wants. So back to the drawing board!!!!!
Plus I need to go back to work as I may have a wedding to pay for in Augest of next year. Wishful thinking......
Well my eyes are getting sleepy so talk on folks.

the cute couuple from down the street came over last nite- we sat outside and got eaten by mosquitos! his boss is interested in seeing our house so -prayers good vibes etc please!!!
i had the couldn't sleep thing going on at 330--i guess it actually happens quite often for me and i didn't realize it--but i laid there with roxie ,brody and callie and managed to sneak another 45 minutes-michael got up and had a wonderful pan of scrambled eggs with zucchini and stuff in it ready for our breakfast- also made me tuna salad for work...

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Morning Carla, George, Margo and all you other OFFr's,
Humpday has arrived, yay! It means I'm closer to my favorite days of the week, Sat and Sun (lol)! Didn't take long working to remember that the weekends are the fun time. . .
I am struggling with my exercise these days, not wanting to go to the gym, not very self-motivated and it scares me some because for me, the scale creeps when I am not exercising, which is a bummer and makes me jealous of those who don't exercise and still managed to keep their weight off. Maybe I just need to give myself a permission slip to take it easy for now, I can't be home with Dillinger and in the gym at the same time and when I'm at the gym I feel guilty that he is home waiting. Just a bunch of silly stuff going through my head these days, must be that eclipse affecting my mood. . .
Carla, if you can wait, then look towards the Fall for getting a new job. George thanks for your joke and Margo, well it seems to me the way things have fallen into place that you will find a buyer for your house in a short time, at least I'm hoping so for you!
Well folks, I'm off to get myself ready for work, have a great day!
Hugs, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

It's hump day today and I am glad of that. I am not use to actually going outside of my little home and working again and I must say it is nice to be at home doing things at my speed..which is usually slow motion but I love being out with the public again and actually enjoying life the way I use to. I do have limitations right now but I really don't care about them...I love being a human being with other human beings....so life is great for this week for me!! That is all I know right now. But I have woke up at 4 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. I have been laying there for what seemed like forever until I thought to myself why am I not up and visiting my OFF family...so here I am doing just that! And to say it feels good to be here is a understatement!!
Been at the church office so far this week. I am doing just odds and ends but tomorrow is the real test...I start doing the Sunday bulletin and this time has been changed. I haven't done this format before so I am not sure just how long it is going to take me. Pastor is taking the day off today and so I am going to be alone...or at least until someone comes in and I am sure that is going to happen. It usually does. Got some things caught up for Jeri when she comes back Monday and not much else. I chatted with a lot of people during the last couple of days and that feels good. Now ask me on Friday and I will probably tell you all that I am glad that it is Friday and now "unemployed" again. Like I was employed to begin with...ha ha
I go to the PCP this afternoon. She won't have the results of the culture but she wants to see me today anyway. I can't say that I am feeling much better but it feels better just to be out and about. I guess that is something. The healing is happening with the width and the length but the depth is getting is getting deeper. I am not sure why that is happening and right now I am to the point that I could care less. I am just tired of all of the crap and want my life back. It is now almost 3 months and I am just plain tired. That is the only thing I can say. I guess when we get the results of the culture back which should be Friday we are going to talk about going to a Infectious Disease doctor. I am done playing and so is the PCP. She told me that it should have never gone this long. Neither the visiting nurse or my PCP can understand what is going on with Dr. Stanish. They both have told me numerous times that he is the best surgeon in the area and I do know that but I did tell them that I do not believe it is him...I think it is the office staff. If I can ever talk to him I plan on telling him that too. But I do not think that the hallway of his office is the place to do that. I go see him tomorrow...or should I say see his PA since I am sure that is how it is going to play out. I know that I keep repeating myself but I am just tired...of the whole thing. I want my life back and I don't think that I am wrong saying that. I feel like this has consumed my whole life...there is still pain but most of the time it isn't bad....but sometimes it sure is which as the nurse says isn't good with all the time that has lapsed with it from the start.
They caught one more of the convicts that escaped from the state prison. I guess he was in Rockport with his Mother. They were seen shopping for stuff in a gas station and at the Blue Chip casino both of which is in Michigan City and they are still out. Now at least there is only one more out and so that is good. I think he is the murderer that is still running around. I wish that he would get caught so we can go back to life again. I can't open my windows or doors... like I would open my door to someone...those days are long gone around here.
I am going now...I have gone on long enough. I hope that everyone has a great hump day and know that I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too Don't forget to spread happiness and joy to others....heck I could take some too so you never know how it is going to help someone. They may look alright but you never know what is going on in the inside of them.
BTW...when I got up this morning I walked into kitchen and there laid on my counter a HUGH zucchini...Bill brought it home from work. That dang thing must be at least a foot and a half long and fat...what the heck do I do with that thing? If you have any ideas PLEASE oh PLEASE tell them to me!!!

Brenda, I had an infectious disease specialist when my ankle incision got infected. They had me on a pic line with antibiotics in no time, for 5 weeks! You really need to see one, and probably go to a wound care specialist as well. You can't let them keep playing around with this!
Please take care! We love you

Susan, thanks for the kind and loving words...I really need them about now!
I see the pcp this afternoon and something tells me (and has for a long time) that I.V. antibiotics is in my future. I have a feeling that the I.D. doctor is going to see to that.
Sending love and hugs to you, sister!

RNY revision from lapband 7/30/07...TT/BL 10/9/08 and at GOAL
Thanks so much for the recipe. I sounds so yummy I have to try it...heaven only knows that I have enough zucchini for about a gazillion loafs of this bread! I couldn't believe that I missed the darn thing when I first went in the kitchen. ha ha
Can I use the applesauce that is made with Splenda do you think? That is what I usually buy. I don't know if you are referring to sweetened or unsweetened applesauce.
Thanks again for the recipe, Stephanie, it sounds soooo good! You will have to share recipes with is when I start the Mouthwatering Monday thread again...I hope it will be soon that I will feel like doing that.
