Good Morning Train!

WOOOOHOOO for Tuesday!  It's Totally Tuesdayand I totally don't want to be at work today, LOL  But of course I am, sigh, I'll survive it I'm sure, but I could think of a million other places I'd rather be!

Prayers are going up for all that need them!

Bonnie Tyler's I Need A Hero is on the turntable, so turn up the sound and dance!

Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night toss and turn and dream of what I need

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life


Ya'll have a great day my friends!

KAREN..about now, the young 'uns are scratching their heads and asking "What's a turntable?"...GREAT song choice....now where ARE my leg warmers...I feel like dancing....

Not much different to report in my corner of the world. Work was crazy yesterday-no big surprise there-but one of my patients proposed to me again, and made me feel pretty-so it was a good day! Yes, he DOES have Alzheimer's-what is your point?????

Am on day 6...or maybe 7 of the headache that just will NOT go away. It's like a rattlesnake---goes back in the corner and gets quieter, but you KNOW it's there, just waiting to STRIKE again. LIZ and QUE came over Sunday and saved my life wth meds (I think I already told y'all that). I have a doc appt mid morning today to seek some "professional" help-the kind who can write prescriptions! My doc knows me well, and knows it takes ALOT to get me into his office...hmmm...he's getting old..maybe HE'LL think I'm pretty anf will propose...I'd marry those precriptions...

I'd like to give a quick shout out to PAIGE for continuing the "Accountability thread"-and I love the "Pm-Ps thing"-just noticed it this morning-talk about keeping you HONEST to yourself!! I love it!!

Praying for safe travels for ALISSA and general prayers for all, whether they think they need them or not-I know I need and appreciate them myself, so please feel free to pray for me ANYTIME

Becca Sue has pink leg warmers... they're to keep her from getting rug burn as she crawls around the house, but they're so cute and definitely brought back memories!  LOL

GOOD MORNING! I'm about to get ready and pack for San Marcos. I leave in about an hour. Yes, I wait until the last minute to pack, lol. Our agency is having a state wide meeting. Our last one was in 2006 which I missed because I'd just had RNY. The one before I went to in 1999- so its been 11 years since I've been to one. I'm excited. It will be good to see folks I rarely get to see.

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Morning Riders....Karen great song..and do I ever need a hero this morning; I'm all stiff this morning; was up most of the night with freakin leg cramps...I guess I will be sporting new bruises today, If I keep this up on Saturday its going to look like Barney has beaten Betty (halloween party saturday night)
Had to laugh out loud at Gina....I know what a turntable is, but my kids dont, nor do they know what a record is, last time I asked them teen daughter new what records were, but teen son said "oh that big CD" LOL

Gina I understand about that headache, mine started yesterday afternoon, I am out of the migraine meds  and that is the first thing I will be doing today is calling for my HERO....my doctor...cant let this headache get out of control....wishing you a sucessful doctors appointment and that your headache goes away soon

love & hugs to all
