Hi Its Wednesday Hump Day!!!!!
I wish you and Carl and happy big 30 anniversary. What have you planned to do? I know that you were talking about going away but then I thought I heard you say you weren't going. So what is up now?
Nothing much is planned for tomorrow..well tomorrow for me. I think I will just stay home and do some more sorting of papers and stuff. I did some tonight but just couldn't do anymore. I have so much to do with all the church papers....I could put all the papers together and probably make a tree by myself. That is ALOT of papers, let me tell ya! I did accomplish more than I thought that I would.
I didn't go to the church meeting tonight after all. I just got to the point that I thought my time would be put to better use going through my own crap. I figured that everyone there wouldn't miss me anyway so why bother to go? Those people tend to go on and on anyway and heck there have been times that I didn't get home until almost 10 and I am not in the mood for a repeat of that tonight. So I called the minister and told him that I wasn't coming and he had to get the files off the office managers desk and take them downstairs to the fellowship hall where the meeting is. I got a call from the O.M. and told me that she wasn't going to make it to the meeting and if I was going to let the minister know that he had to get the files.
I am waiting for Bill to get home from work. I haven't been up to meet him for a long time. I couldn't get through the night to see him before I got so tired that I had to go to bed. I sometimes would get up after he was home for a bit but most of the time I didn't even wake up to know he got home. I guess I must be feeling better bit by bit since I am not getting so tired anymore. At least not most of the time as I did. I am taking that as a good sign. I do feel a bit better than I have in a while. I do have my off days but I guess I have to expect that too. I have a tendency to expect to much out of myself. I always have and age hasn't changed that.
I guess I should be going. I am sending love and hugs to all and prayers are being said for everyone too. Have a super day and know that it is hump day!!! HOORAY! The week end isn't far off! Take time to scatter the wonderful things that you have to scatter to others. In our scatterings we do our best gatherings for our lives.
Got my Big Brother watching done this evening. Tried listening to the Rangers game, but they were busy doing nothing. Cleveland beat them 5-0.
Eileen - meant to comment yesterday on your Chisox pickup. Alex Rios has the ability to be a real good ball player. I think he was very disgruntled in Toronto. Can't see how. Pay me $12,000,000 to play a game and see if I get disgruntled. Hopefully he will do good for you guys.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
I agree about the money, too. Pay me that much, and I'd do well. But then a lot of players get disgruntled in Toronto because they don't win a lot and they play in the AL East, which is so tough.
The Sox came back nicely last night. It was the first time in 50 games they came back after trailing after the 8th inning. So that was nice. Beat Seattle's best reliever (who used to pitch for the Sox and was horrible ... so this was the Aardsma that the Sox remember).
I t was a weird night filled with nightmares - probably from this silly fever. Water, Tylenol, sleep, pee, then do it all over again. I am worried about getting dehydrated so I'll concentrate on liquids today. Pneumonia kind of sneaks up and kicks a$$.
My PCP couldn't see me yesterday so I went to Convenient Care. The entire staff was fast and efficient. Nice change from the 11 hours at the ER a couple of weeks ago.
When people read on the chart that I had RNY, the questions always begin. At least 4 RN's came in to ask me how it went and were shocked to hear I used to weigh over 300 lbs. There I sat, feeling like crap and even the doctor commented that " you look so good". Sure didn't feel very good.
Back to bed, after another glass of water. I may not get back on the computer until much later.
Annette, every single time I go to the ER or if there is a new nurse at my PCP's office, I always have to give them the scoop on wls. And, they go on and on about how they cannot believe that I ever weighed so much. In fact, they don't believe it until I show them my skin. LOL.
I had to go in for a myleogram of my back. Anyway, the hospital where I had it done was where I had my gallbladder removed about eight years back and they had my weight fromt hat admission on my chart. They had all of my medical records brought in and the nurse was taking my blood pressure and looking at my old admissions stuff and said, I think I have the wrong chart. And she looked again. Finally I said, what's wrong. She said, 550 pounds? I said, yep, that was me. Then I explained it all to her and low and behold if she didn't go get a couple of her friends to see. I felt like a circus freak. One of the RNs was excited because she was scheduled to have wls and had never met anyone who had had it done but me! She was young so I told her to come to OH and check in and meet some folks. She had just started the process.
Anyway, hope your pneumonia clears soon.

Happy Anniversary Carla & Carl, hope you have lots of good memories to look back on, can't imagine what it is like to be married to the same person for 30 years! Wish I could, but I never made great choices in men, though I think I now have a good one, in Tony, though I can't say marriage will happen for me again. . . Enjoy your special day!
Brenda hope you are feeling better, as well as Nettie, please do take care of yourselves!
Today is Wednesday, hopefully, another fun filled day at the office, my days are flying by, work is so busy and it's like I look up and realize it is lunch time, look up and it's time to go home, I get home spend time with Dillinger, read a little and fall asleep most nights by 9 p.m. I am thankful when I read all the many posts about insomnia that I no longer suffer from that, as I am just not a very nice person with too little sleep. Other than work, nothing much happening in my life, if I have time, I'll make my noontime AA meeting, otherwise that's it.
Hope everyone has a very good day!
Hugs, prayers and positive thoughts, Laureen

well- yesterday bombed out by 10 am--and today had better be a much better day--i know i am certainly going to do my part at that plan--worker's comp has scheduled a new "evaluation" doctor appointment for michael-this is one of those must go to things and so we will- they are , of course, trying to get him done with w.c. -- well; michael rode his bike to the post office so he got the letter in the mail and called me at work at 10--like i can do anything about it???? it hit all of the wrong buttons with him yesterday-sent him off on tangents that are not pretty -and he made some phone calls which i probly can't smooth over- it took me 3 tries to reach our atty and then it was the paralegal...who knows basically nothing of the case- she was going to read up last nite- i wished her happy reading!
needless to say when i went to bed at 8:30 it was waaaaay too early! woke up at midnite and was still wide awake at 1 am....managed to get back to sleep in spite of brody --do they make requip for 120# dogs????? poor baby his legs have been jumping something awful the last few days--i don't buy into that "dreaming of chasing rabbits" theory!!!!
so-today- i'm up-have had eggs and some coffee-need to shower and get to work...physically a rough one at work today-bummer- i'll survive! then wally's after for my eye appointment and to pick new frames- i am ready for a change!!!! and i am certain my scrip has changed as well....
online banking can be fun-our new acct gives us access to an image of our cancelled checks- so cool! but- his soc sec isn't showing up yet in the deposit column! it will be there later -just don't like to not see it this early....
well- happy wednesday to all....i'm gonna do my part!!!!
hugs and prayers........................
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.

Connie, thinking about you.
Margo, I do not envy the packing but do envy your destination.
Well, MIL is gone and we really did have a nice visit. Stressful though.
Tom has a second interview with a really good company Friday...he did really well at the first one. Cross your fingers, pray, swing chickens, send positive thoughts, anything will be appreciated.
We have had 6 admits on my floor in 2 days...that is a lot! So work is busy.
It is raining today, and I was planning on wearing a very summery dress, not sure if I should wear something else or just go with it.
Karen, wish I could of gone on that walk with you.
MKaren, hope your storm is not a huge one and all is safe and sound.
Gotta start back on my treadmill today....it was right over MIL's bedroom so I couldn't walk on it. Good excuse dontcha think? I have been eating with not much control...I am working on getting back to my routine.
Take care all,
Cheryl
