Wednesday Morning in Pennsylvania
Good Morning Family,
I did not get to participate in a Continuing Ed program I was scheduled for yesterday. I had to see the doctor for the earache I had. Doctor says I have fluid pressing on the eardrum, and he put me on the Medryl dosepack. Today, I'm scheduled to drop my car off at the garage, and pick up a rental, so that they can repair the damage done in the accident. I also have to get to the ATM to get cash out of the bank to pay some bills. I don't dare write any checks, they bounce.
I have so many blessings to be grateful for.
Must scoot.
Hugs,
Trish

Good morning Trish and everyone.....
Trish....so glad you went to the doctor and are now on meds. Hope that clears up the pain soon.
I woke up at 6:00 and can't sleep anymore. My schedule is sure crazy these days. I didn't nap yesterday so I should have slept later. Oh well!
Not much planned for me today. Yesterday I cleaned the house and set up my sisters meds and ordered the ones she needs. I balanced her check book as that was a MESS again !! She really shouldn't even have that account. It is wrong every month!! Good thing I have good bookkeeping skills. I always seem to find her mistakes pretty quickly.
Wishing you all a really good day!!
Prayers for so many in need. Special prayers for many like Nancy, Nan, Carla, Margo and others. Seems like a rough time for so many here right now.
Love
and hugs

Good Morning Trish, Connie, Jo and those to come. . .
Hope the meds put the earache to bed, earaches are miserable things, thankfully, I have not had a lot of experience with them as an adult. . .
Today finds me at work, I went for bloodwork yesterday and hopefully will see if there are any issues that crop up there. Need to make a 5 year post-op with Dr. Marymor at Barix to discuss the results of bloodwork, as well as this constant tiredness I am suffering from lately, though even feeling it, I push, push and push myself some more. . .I have lots of ideas on what is going on, but until bloodwork is in, I can only think and hey, I'm not a MD so I'll let them figure it all out.
Other than work, this is my quiet week, saw the grandkids on Monday evening for a little while after visiting with my Delaware sponsee, so last night I was able to meet up with my neighbor, Judy, and her dog Maggie, Roxie's best doggie friend and we took a nice hour long walk with the "girls", after which I went home relaxed a bit and then cooked up some peppers, onions and mushrooms for this mornings eggbeater omlet, tonight we have similar plans to walk the girls, good for them, good for us, otherwise things are ok.
I am sending out positive thoughts and prayers for those who are dealing with very serious illness right now and anyone who is having an issue.
Well that's enough from me, hope you all have a wonderful 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

Good morning Trish and OFF-
Well my house guests pulled out this morning. It was nice having them around but also nice to get the place back to myself again.
My guests are park rangers at state parks in north carolina. Floyd is retired and Signa will retire March 1 this spring. They are a joy to have as guests because they entertain themselves with daily rambles through the woods taking pictures of dragonflies, butterflies and birds. I hiked with them on Sunday and achieved one of my WLS goals by hiking to a lake that is only a mile or so from my house but to get there you have to walk about 2 miles. The lake was beautiful and I was proud of myself for achieving the goal without having to stop and rest all the time.
This Saturday my friend Sue and I will venture to the Old Town canoe factory for a year end clearance sale. One of my other WLS goals was to start kayaking. I'm hoping to find a kayak that I can get in and out of easily with my stiff knee. We'll see what happens.
Today I'm driving down to Bangor to attend a WLS support group meeting. I have to get back on track. Since returning from the wedding I am struggling with the comfort eating. I've gained 5 pounds. I have my one year surgical followup on October 9 so I have to get those pounds back off. I'm going back on mostly liquids and starting to walk every day that I'm not doing PT for my knee and hip. Can't give up the success that I have achieved because of little petty things upsetting me.
Not much else is new here in Maine. The evenings are in the 40's. The trees are starting to change colors. I'm leaving early this year for Texas so my transition anxiety is starting to rise. Beginning to make mental lists of things to do. I have to print my shutdown checklist.
So with that I'll stop rambling and get my butt in gear. Trish hope the antibiotics help with the ear infection. Hope you're replacing your flora by eating some probiotic yogurt. Connie you are an angel for getting your sister's checkbook straightened out. Can't remember who else posted but my thoughts are with everyone in need.

Good morning all my OFF sistas!
Pre-school day for Benny today! Freedom for Mimi! :)
I plan to go for a walk in a little while, after I feed my deer and my birds and my squirrels. It's lovely and cool here this morning. Ahhhh, fall!
I hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy this day in some fashion or other. I am worried about our Carla. She is having a very rough go of it right now. Prayers for everyone who is not feeling well, especially Connie and Trish today.
I guess my prozac has really kicked in now. Nothing seems to bother me. Christie is late getting Benny to school this morning, and I'm just not worried about it at all. This is SO unlike me! LOL!
Today is another construction day for us. Butch is taking his time finishing that closet in the guest bedroom. Again, it's just not bothering me. Very unlike me. I'm usually pushing everyone to get on a schedule and stay there. I've also stopped worrying about our house selling. Haven't even thought about it for weeks now. Who is this person and what has she done with the old Vickie? LOL!
Well, I need to close and go feed my deer. I can see them all gathered up, waiting for me. The bucks are starting to scrape the velvet off of their
antlers now. Some of them will come up and eat from my hand, although I really don't like to feed the bucks. I'd rather just feed the does. The bucks always seem to get enough food, but the does--especially the ones that are still nursing--always look so skinny and pulled down. The fawns are getting really big now, but they still have their spots. I just love my deer herd. I've named several of them, which Butch says is silly, but there you go. I interact with them every morning; I have to call them something.
Love you all!

Vickie my DH has his little deer heard that he feeds too. It started by him dumping the left over feed from the our pygmy goat heard. Than we had a hard winter so he added new grain to the old. Than he started feeding new hay instead of just that left over from the goats.
Now he feeds them as well or better than the goats. I love watching them come in but, we have hunters next to and behind us. I keep trying to get him to start feeding them further and further into our woods but, so far falling on deaf ears
.I think I need your prozac! I stopped my paxil in an attempt to turn around my weight gain. It worked but now nobody wants to be around me. I can't blame them I don't want to be around me. I just feel so hungry, which makes me feel so MEAN all the time.
Have a great day and say an extra hi to the dear deer for me.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
Hi PV! I used to have a saying: I can be fat and happy, or lean and mean! My poor sweet husband has never really had much of a choice--for most of our married life I've been fat and UNhappy! I'm enjoying being thin again and not having to starve myself to maintain it. I still get grumpy when I get hungry, but fortunately, I don't get all that hungry anymore.
Well, I'm not really sure how I feel about being on the prozac, but it was a necessity for right now. Trying to live with my youngest daughter and keeping my grandson 24/7 was taking quite a toll on me. One of the strangest side effects is that I just have nothing to say anymore! Really. I just sit and veg, or sit and read, or nap, but I don't talk much. This is quite a change! My husband can't believe it. I've always talked his ear off.
I do love my deer. I've been living here at this lakehouse full time for the last 5-6 months. I feed the deer every morning. I have quite a herd, sometimes as many as 40 in the mornings. There are about 6 little does that come up and eat right out of my hand. And a couple of the bucks will come up to me too, but I don't encourage them too much. We also put out the occasional bale of alfalfa hay for them, too. They love it. It's so horribly dry here. Nothing much for them to eat by summer's end.
I'm enjoying your posts. I'm glad you've joined us!

I know how it feels having grown children living with you full time.
My middle daughter works 3rd and her DH worked nights. When their youngest was an infant I had him everyother week when she worked.
I still have him 1-2 nights every other week if her DH gets work.
