Good Morning. It's only Wednesday

It should be Friday already.  So, what do you guys want to talk about?

***** 

I know you folks that run and walk in various marathons and walks-for-a-cause are reeling from the attacks.  It's very emotional and personal when you have a connection to horrible events such as those that happened this week.  It's a lot like a soldier gets when he or she survives an attack but all his buddies are killed or wounded. Survivor's guilt or survivor's remorse. What we feel  in this cir****tance may not be a full blown case but emotionally similar, I think.  Sending out cyber hugs and warm thoughts to our runners here on the LW board.

Good morning. Early day for me because I have to travel 100 miles to work today.
I had talked with DH the other week about putting the Boston race on my to do list. It would require much more training than I would probably be willing to put into it. Plus you have to qualify for it.
I did not register for the Peachtree this year which is probably a good thing now. He would be flipping out. He worries about everything.
Such a senseless tragedy. I feel so heavy hearted for all those people whose lives have been turned upside down.

Gina are you getting notifications when someone posts a reply to you? I am not getting them anymore. Any suggestions?

Such a tragedy, I just cant wrap my mind around these senseless acts of violence. My heart goes out to all the people in Boston and those affected by this horrible act.

Cool and cloudy here today. Feeling like a freight train hit me. Rough day at work yesterday. Need to get out with Buddy today, but feeling more like a couch potato.

Having our main sewer and garage floor dug up today to replace pipe. Wonder where that money is going to come from! But it will be worth it not to have raw sewage backing up in my laundry room. What a mess that is when it happens.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I wi**** was Friday... this is going to be a LONG week...

I can only imagine how the folks are feeling from the Boston Marathon.  It is senseless....

I have a Dentist appt today - and I completely forgot about a meeting at 11... oops - there's a possibility I'll make it back in time, but it will be very very close.  I also have a massage tonight - AHHH - I need one SO bad... 

Got an email from the Corp Hdqtrs saying all raises are off the table for next year because our CUSTOMERS aren't getting them - HUH?  I can see where they've lost business because of the Sequestration - and may need to tighten their belts - but REALLY???? and I was going to tell them I wanted a HUGE raise this year... oh well... so much for that idea.

There's a good possibility I may be hitting the Leesburg Outlet on Sunday heading back from Gettysburg - that's if I don't decide just to keep going north to Michigan.  Michigan is probably only about a 20% chance...

 

It has been a long week already.  No meetings today so I will drive Halley and get work done before going to Muscle pump this evening 

I thought about a Dr I worked with years ago who was a runner.  He had an accident that prevented him from ever running again and it really destroyed his life.  All those folks, runners and friends, who have this to carry now.  Makes me very sad.

If it were Friday, we'd be heading south to AL...the first grandson is turning one this week and they are having a party on Sat.

Survivor's guilt/remorse is very real...what we need to do tho is NOT let this have us living in fear. If it does, the terrorists win.

DS is coming in from WY for 10 days tonight. I am happy but not as happy as I should be. i am having to learn  3 years post VSG and 6 weeks post DS and at 58 years old how to live without medicating myself with food for comfort.

 

I am mad at everybody,don't like anybody and am generally not a nice person. Maybe I was always not a nice person and used food to even myself out...sort of a carb euphoria,where i didn't even care what was going on around me as long as I had a donut in my mouth.

 

I am having a hard time watching what I say and I was always a very tactful person,but now,not so much. I feel like therapy is needed but i am too tired and unfocused to get on it.

 

DH and i had a little tiff sunday am and didn't speak for 3 days. I was mad and ready to leave him after 40 years of marriage,and that is totally unlike me. PCP started me on something to "help my mood" AKA know as a different antidepressant,lol.

Hormone dump! It happens and it does get better if we don't kill someone first!

We had BOTH of us going thru the hormone dump almost at the same time...thank goodness our marriage was solid pre-op cause there are times I think either of us would have walked away!

I suspect you are a nice person. You just don't let yourself get walked on now.

i hope you are right. I expected a lot of things after the ds but not the 3 week stall and not the hormone dump,lol.

 

oh the lovely hormone dump period... I'm very lucky I had read enough about it to give my hubby a heads up and apologized long before it happened. He knew what to expect and we made a "plan" on how to get through it if and when it did. and it did! We need to revisit that plan now because even though the hormone dump is gone I have a bit of a personality change, I'm much less tolerant for BS or things that offend me. I used to just suck it up and shut up, now ummm not so much in all areas of my life lol. I can't tell you the number of fb friends who have been deleted since surgery!
