Tuesday is a New Day!

Vickie,

Sorry for all your woes and happy for the good stuff too.

OH has a leadership training program. It is done through teleconferencing. They want us to do annual refresher courses but I didn't feel like spending the extra time.

If you want any pointers about support groups, get in touch with me and I'll help you brain storm ideas.

It takes quite a bit of time and dedication to lead a group. People come, people go and there are times you want to ask if they have an ounce of common sense.

The list of dumb antics would blow your socks off. But ... being able to see progress is fulfilling too.

Annette

Thanks Annette!  I don't think we're talking about forming a "real" support group yet.  There's just 3 of us so far.  But you never know what something will grow into, so maybe one day . . .

I enjoyed your cat story this morning!  And your husband, Tom, sounds like such a cut up!  His comment sounds like something MY hubby would say to me!  LOL!

No more signs of that pesky snake, huh?  Sure hope not!

Vickie
So glad you had a good time.  I am going to look at your pictures and reminisce!

Margaret,

Oh, Canada was just wonderful!  The weather, the mountains, the flowers--it was all just spectacular.  We had a great time, and my hubby has already told me we will be going back again.  He absolutely loved it.

Thanks for your tips and pointers.  They really helped.  Maybe next trip, we'll be close enough for a visit!

Hi Nancy and my OFF family:

I have been dealing with a lot of pain the past two days. Went shopping Monday ... hoped to just to do one store but Walmart didn't have everything wanted ... this Walmart has lots of empty shelves. So then I had to go to Brookshires, and even they didn't have everything they were supposed to have on sale. Arrgh! Very frustrating. So after two hours of shopping, I was in a lot of pain, and that lasted all night at work.
 
We are doing this football tab, so it's not deadline work. I was going to get up early and get to the chiropractor but didn't. I will get in the shower after I finish posting and then go into work. Got a headache, too, right now. I figure I'll shower, get dressed, stop off at Starbucks and pick up a sandwich on the way to work, maybe stop at the chiropractor later in the afternoon for a break. Maybe that will help my back and knees. If not, I'll schedule an appointment with my PCP sometime in the week. my legs are really swollen, can't figure out what's happening.

Nancy, you're in my thoughts and I hope everything will be OK. Keep up the fight.

Carolyn, hope the pink eye goes away. I don't use make-up at all, never did like it. Not a real girly-girl like that.

Anyway, I want to get in the shower and get going. Have a good day.

Hello Nancy ... I had a nice long message for you going and Bing came in and stole it away and I don't know how to get it back...so here it in in short form...except for the blessings sent your way in relation to your physical challenge...bless you.

Thank you everyone. Tuesday afternoon, I picked up all my mammo xrays and my ultrasound tests and I will be at the surgeon's office for 8 am...I am NOT a MORNING person!! She will give me the information I need to make decisions. Step by step.

Samantha, creating mandalas give me joy and they are so relaxing to work on.
