    Guilt sucks eh.
    Hope those cabana boys are able to spray it out of you
    The boy and I decided tomorrow is a beach day. We stopped and got supplies. I might need a cabana boy to help me lug it all from the car to the beach

    Good evening,

    I was looking at the local news online edition and some genius got arrested for having 250 pounds of illegal fireworks. Just shaking my head.

    Dinner is easy tonight as it is leftovers. Glad I walk so much- my calories evaporate quickly.

    Will stop by before snoring starts under Lana's Palm Tree - basket full of cboys potions including:

    Ace that interview spray
    Make your neighbor at work silent or invisible mist
    Attract eye candy spray

    Love those quotes.

    I made the best garlic bread today. Yesterday I made two baguettes and made the remaining one into garlic bread. Super yum

    And I indulged in pasta because I noticed my back rolls gone today yay

    Anyone wanna come to the beach tomorrow. Apparently we'll be building a sandcastle

    Ali - sign me up for sand castles and garlic bread! Sounds like a great stress reliever!

    Yes, me too!!
    Definitely the sand castles, and maybe we can find some zero-calorie butter tarts ;)

    Off to Occupational Therapy way too early this morning. I wonder what they are going to try to do to fix my brain?!

    THURSDAY

    Good morning, getting hotter here...... for a little while at least.

    I would love to go to the beach. Will be thinking that as I sit behind my computer wanting to strangle it.....

    Dog is my best alarm clock these days.

    Lana - occupational therapy like physical therapy if it unties the "knot" of a neurological problem ( better movement and muscle use counts for that) then the brain can rest and spend its energy elsewhere. You are up early....

    Lurking from work. Wave to all who follow.

    Good morning...

    Lana - curious to what they will do to fix your brain... might ask for some pointers, as my brain is not the same as used to be... good luck today

    Sara - dogs make great alarm clocks... whether you're ready to get up or not...

    Getting ready to head home..
    Hoping for some good rest... doesn't matter if I tell everyone I work nights and am sleeping, they just don't stop trying to talk to me...I would turn phone off, just afraid there could be an emergency...

    Will check in later...
    Have a great day

    I swear this summer has been a bad one. So my daughter totals my Jeep in June and then on July 4th, my son decided to be stupid. He was trying to show off while riding a little dirt bike, then hit the asphalt doing about 20-25 mph. (no helmet) Local Hospital had to transfer him up to the state Trauma Center. That’s where I spent most of my holiday and all day yesterday.

    He is pretty torn up. Lost skin in a lot of places. His face looks like he went 12 rounds as George Foreman's punching bag. The worst was the concussion. He kept repeating same questions, saying same things again and again. It was like the movie Groundhog Day every other sentence. Very scary. That has gradually gone away and he is starting to remember some things but he still has lost any recollection of anything about 4 hours before the accident, the accident itself, and most of the night he was in the trauma unit.

    We moved him back to our house temporarily while he is on the mend. Luckily the factory where he works shuts down for the entire week of the 4th so he has time to heal a bit before going in. He tore his feet up so much that I don’t think he will be walking around in steel toed boots anytime soon though.

    So those were my fireworks for the 4th!

    Whoa~~Kathryn! So sorry to hear about your son's accident. I hope that he mends well and recovers from anything going on because of that head injury.
    I hope he doesn't rush back to work, because any place where you need steel-toed boots is someplace where you need 100% of your wits about you.
    Terrible. Big hugs for you~~

    Yes, Sara, I had to be up and out to make an 8AM appointment.

    Dawn - Put your phone on silent, but leave it on. This way the messages can come in, but they won't disturb you, and you can get the info when you wake up or peek at it when you get up to use the bathroom.

    I recently experienced two parents dying and one year of my own mess, and I can tell you that anything can wait 6 or 8 hours. Even the death of someone. Please get your uninterrupted sleep--you have to drive a car! You need sleep! You can't be getting in an accident because of the phone not being on silent because you are "on call". Don't be "on call". That's a life-wrecker. DH used to always be "on call".

    Lana is full of wisdom today! I agree with Kathryn / Dawn message. at work....

    okay that sounds wrong - her wisdom is worth reading twice. My brain today is making loud gastric sounds.

    OMG hope he recovers quickly. Concussions are weird things the last one I had I lost my peripheral vision for a little while. like maybe an hour and when asked how many fingers someone was holing up I got it wrong I'm told. I still think I had it right. He probably won't ever remember the accident our brains are nice that way.

    I get to go skate tonight!!! on time!!! hubs is coming home after a meeting so yay I get to have Ali time!! The boy and I had lots of fun at the beach I'm thinking we will do it again

    Thursday

    Nice to come back to a busy day and a short week! Had a wonderful time with my family. Feeling a bit verklempt today as my parents are heading East. The tough spot this weekend was visiting my Grandma. I don't think she really knew who I was, but I am glad she most definitely knew my mom. It was also sad to see how much she doesn't remember even in the course of a face-to-face conversation. But she was happy and pleasant, so that was good.

    Working to get back on track with my eating. This long weekend with my family was nothing but a food-fest! Today I have tracked everything and will likely go over but at least I tracked it all and am not in denial. I do have to get very serious as I have been out-of-control for a few weeks and I can feel the inches pouring on. It's time to stop kidding myself. Will sit with DH to make a good plan tomorrow night and then pick up groceries so we have no excuses. Thinking of starting a blog to have a place to really write my thoughts, track my meals and exercise, etc. I'm not sure I'd want anyone but me to read it...

    hickchick - I hope your son recovers quickly. How scary!

    I'm off to a deep tissue massage after work to try to keep my neck, back, and hip in better shape. I've been having some neck and jaw pain which I think is from tight muscles. Trying to stave off headaches!

    Too hot to walk tonight - but my massage therapist doesn't like me to exercise after a massage, so staying in the air conditioning and drinking lots of water this evening.

    Have a good evening!

    Kathryn - so sorry about son... what is it about boys... they never grow up..."watch this" never ends well... hope he recovers quickly...

    Annie - good Grandma remembers your Mom.. don't take it personally if she doesn't remember you.. my Grandpa has days where he remembers everyone, most days he doesn't remember anyone... breaks my heart... but, I just have to remember, it's just the disease... he can't help it...
    Good idea with blogging...I have thought about it... this is as close as I get... just stay strong, you'll be back where you want to be, before you know it...

    Ali - have fun skating! And, remember, CBoys are always available for laundry folding

    Lana - are you sure you need help with your brain? You are always full of care and wisdom... thank you... hope your appointment went well...

    Waves to Sara!

    Off to finish dinner..
    Have a great evening..

    Good evening,

    Quick note before dinner - Kathryn - oh gee also send good thoughts. How long can he stay off work? Dr note maybe? If he is at home, that is a good sign. I am a klutz myself, so I cant judge.

    I waited too long.....

    Woman who now sits next to me is a "know it all", she had a bee sting in her arm from the day before. When I mentioned I knew where the closest urgent care was she told me she didnt need it. She ended up calling a nurse and making an appointment at her Dr office - seems urgent care is beneath her. I am just glad she saw a Dr. today as I am not sure I want hear the drama tomorrow. Wearing earphones longer tomorrow.

    Not the greatest day. Too many snacks around this house yet. I did well at work but kind of fell apart once I got home. Putting in a DVD and drinking my water. DH ran to the grocery store to get me eggs for breakfast and cucumber for snack for tomorrow. He will pick up my favorite Asian cabbage salad at Sam's Club before lunch. What a guy! NSV's today include no sweets and no pop!

    Ugh the problem with being fair and visiting the beach is you find all sorts of patches you didn't get sunscreen on. I look like I have some weird rash

    Hope everyone has a great Friday tomorrow yay

    FRIDAY

    Good morning,

    Hottest day this week. :s

    Got box of fruit/veg on doorstep this month, box of figs inside that I ordered will take 2 to work and a couple a day until they are gone. Peaches/ carrots/onion and zucchini are the box.

    Saw an article in food section this week on Bento Boxes and making meals to fit inside, will check them out at Asian store tomorrow just to see size, how well they work.

    Kathryn, hope your son is doing better.

    Just glad its Friday - TGIF!! Wave to all who follow.
