Not too often do I get to start us up, but I am happy to do so. . .

Raining here on the east coast this morning, love that sound, though I love it better when I can stay in bed. . .. I've got to get ready for work now, so I wish you all a good day and peace amidst the storms of life.  Be back to check on all of you later

Hugs, Laureen

Good morning, Laureen and my Sistah OFF'rs

Talked to Candy last night and it was 44 degrees there yesterday... it was 84 here and sunny.  I'm just amazed at the difference in our weather... my agents are already winterizing and they are a month late, I think. 

Back to work yesterday wasn't too bad.. had 233 messages.  My little newhires that I trained took care of my portfolio.  I can tell you, they did a magnificent job.  I found VERY little wrong that I would even have to tell them.  I knew they could do it.  I want to give them an A+.

They reversed the $$ I paid for the FL and now I'm on a no interest payment for 18 mo. They offered it AFTER I had sent in the money.... I fought it and won.... would rather keep my money and pay it out with no interest.  It's not that much but it looks good in my savings account.

Just playing catch-up today again and tomorrow I have chairsides for training for a couple of hours.  But, yanno, I'd rather be at work than anywhere else...... wellllllllllll, okay, maybe not...:)

Becky worked about 3 hours yesterday after going to the doctor.  She has an upper respiratory infection now.  Seems to be doing okay with it.  She has instructions on the heart failure thing that if she gains 2 lbs in a day to head for the ER...

Hope everyone has a worry-free day today. This is a worry-free zone. Come here and don't worry.  I need to remember to adhere to that myself.

Glad to hear Becky is doing better!   I wanna go to your worry-free zone, it sounds like such a great idea!   Just putting one foot in front of the other is so much more productive than worrying - I need to remember that!
Hugs,

Good mornin', ya'll.

My appt yesterday with the surgical oncologist...how do you feel (great), how are your BMs (fine), how is your appetite (TOO GOOD), did you get that 'balloon' filled up (yep, - he doesn't know much about the lap band), do you get tired easily (nope), how did your shoulder surgery go (wonderful), we'll schedule a CT scan (OK, in J-ville please), after that we'll talk about when to remove your chemo port (yippee), see you in 6 months. That took about 5 minutes, and probably cost my insurance company $150! At least my chemo oncologist takes blood and feels my 'nodes and my abdomin.

This morning I have to be at our son's house from 9 to 10 while the guy from Lowe's comes to measure to make sure the kitchen cabinets they are gonna order will fit where they think they will. They have quite a few people interested in the old ones they posted on Lejuene yard sales. They also need to sell the white microwave, but not until everything is installed and the new one is installed.

I THINK I am packed for my trip to OR on Thursday. PT at 3 today. I can now raise my left arm shoulder level!! WOOHOO!! That is while I am standing. When laying down I can get it up over my head. I just need to strengthen that muscle and I will have complete, normal ROM.

Everyone have a fantabulous day!

I am freezing my a$$ off here. 38* and damp, but very pretty with the colors changing.

Battle going on in the house. Tom VS Annie.  She loves to take a flying leap onto his shoulders. He was mopping the kitchen floor, Annie was 10 feet away on the table. She took the leap and landed on him. Naturally her claws were out to hang on. Big ouchies.

While I was away he discovered a "little present' in the shower each day. It is almost always there in the morning but I am first in the shower and do the clean up. Tom has banned her from the bathroom and we now keep the door closed at all times. It is driving her nuts so she scratches on the door frame.

Wonder what she will plan next? He is ready to turn her into an outside cat. No way will I let that happen.

Off to get my hair cut.

Nan,

I didn't ask, I just brought them home. When I came home with numbers 7 and 8, Tom said " Eight is enough or YOU have litter duty".

They can often be a handfull but give so much love in return.

Keep working on DH.

Kisses
Annette
