big brain passed gas time (not sure if the other word would get "kitten" ) - mammogram was today not tomorrow. boy that one I completely missed, I put the wrong day on the calendar. rescheduled for December and so only have to renew my driver's license - $$, vision test, fingerprint and picture. So now that I am home I am thinking gee I hope I asked for tomorrow off..... will find out when I get back to work
Dawn, what is the easiest habit for you to start doing again? Keeping a consistent sleep schedule? Drink 2 more glasses of water? Eating another piece of fruit/vegetable?
Miss T is holding her own, I pick her up when I get tired of her scraping her face in the grass. Sure beats getting upset and yelling at her.
Wishing all a good night1 -
WEDNESDAY
Good morning,
To do list is just license renewal - do you have to give a fingerprint as well? Wow how things have changed.
With only one errand, it gives me more time to pack and I dont have to eat out - means less $$$ and calories.
No wind today which is a nice change and hope it helps the firefighters. They have had a horrible couple of years.
Time to snuggle up with Miss T.

DD was in ER 2 weeks ago with what they said was cellulitis on her ankle. They gave her antibiotics in her IV and sent her home with 2 different antibiotics. Sunday night after funeral, her fever spiked and she broke out in a rash all over her lower legs. Monday she went to see her family doctor only to find out that they updated their system and since she hadnt been in for a year, it dropped her. So she went to Priority Care. The lady didnt even finish taking her info, she had DD go around counter so she could see her. By this time the rash covered her entire legs and was popping up on her arms. The lady told her to get to ER immediately, it could be sepsis. DD got to ER and let me know. DH went to be with her while I tried to get things to where I could leave work. Got to ER, the lab tests came back and Dr said she had UTI and an allergic reaction to the antibiotics. So they pumped her full of fluids & different antibiotics, then sent her home with a new antibiotic. Tuesday, the rash was everywhere including her face but fever down and she was feeling well enough to eat something. Slept most of the day. I called ER Care Director this morning to see if we could give her Benadryl to try to get rash to calm down. The lady was upset she wasnt given it during her ER visit. Regardless, she has to be seen by a doctor soon, but with no insurance, we wanted to avoid another ER visit. The ER Director told me of a local health care clinic that sees people without insurance and, amazingly, the clinic was able to get her in tomorrow. Hopefully, this whole episode will be over soon.
I havent had to get up through the night to check on my kids since they were little. Its like having flashbacks to the toddler days or something, taking care of DH while she is ill. I am exhausted but I wouldnt trade it for anything. Id much rather her be with me than being all alone in her apartment with no one to help. 3 -
Kathryn, hugs to you and your DD/DH - I honestly dont know how the ER docs dont just have mental breakdowns with all the stuff they see on their shift. Glad you got her an ER - do you have Urgent Care in your area? They are a LOT less expensive..... Thrilled you got her into a clinic that is low cost tomorrow. Allergic reactions to meds have a huge range of symptoms. I wish you and your family a good nights rest after this has all been solved.

Lana- hugs

Sara- I am just really having a mental ...I don't what word to use...I make the choice to drink less soda, lasts a couple weeks or so.. then, I drink more. I typically drink between 42 and 64 oz. of water, 4-5 days a week. Then, I drink 44 oz of soda...I make the choice to eat less sweets, lasts a week or so.. then, I can't stop shoveling chocolate in my mouth... yes, I am stressed. Yes, I am unhappy (at work) yes, i'm worried about my Grandma. But... can I really use any of that as a good excuse for my eating habits? I don't know. It's still up to me, to make my own decisions... good or bad...
I just can't stick to any decisions I make..

A typical day at the office for me. Just kidding! Snack day and contest at work, then my City has Trunk or Treat at 5. Leaving work at 3:30 to get there. Supporting Women of the Moose by handing out candy. 700 treat bags prepared.5

DD said she really likes the doctor she saw today. Said she would be willing to drive down from Indianapolis just to see her. I didn't get all the details because I am at work and couldn't talk much but I was happy she was happy. She is looking much better. The rash/hives are at least pink now instead of angry red. This afternoon she was up and doing laundry.
Have a 10 hour workday then a 4 hour drive to another Jeep trip tonight. Hope I can catch a few zzzzs in the truck on the way there.
I have been below my calorie budget the past few days. I doubt I will be able to while on our trip but I will try!
My costume today is a tshirt that reads "This is my costume. I'm a homicidal manic. They look just like everybody else"

FRIDAY
Good morning,
TGIF!!
Work decorating contest was won by the group who spent the most and was most popular. We did a good job and worked together.
This weekends goal is either to find a pair of work pants that are too loose if nothing else and/or tops to hide my
"inner tube".
Was up for awhile and now I have a "to do" list after work on what to work on/throw out/pack.
Dog is doing much better and she will see Vet Sunday.
Wave to all who follow. Will try and lurk from work have training this morning....1 -
Good morning!
Sara - I am very happy pup is doing better! you made me laugh about the inner tube- I have one of those as well.
Kathryn - also glad your DD is doing better! Makes me so sad though that story - and our country that still has people who cannot get the medical treatment needed.
Lana - waves to you! Hope CA is still treating you well.
Tracy - love your costume.
We in WI now have snow on the ground. Got about 5 inches yesterday - that was a trick indeed. No warm up in forecast. Early winter I guess.
And with that it is November 1 and my weight goal was not met...in fact I went the other way. So - with the knowledge that it is another month gone by - I will regroup and try again. I stopped posting my weigh ins here because I was angry at myself. In November I will once per week no matter what direction. I have to get going here!

SATURDAY
Good morning,
Dog is doing better her f/u apt is tomorrow. She let me sleep in a little this morning. Looking forward to my "extra hour" to sleep in tomorrow.
NSV - I had a couple dollars in pocket all day yesterday and they "left" and instead of getting angry at myself for losing them, I decided that if someone found them it would be great for them. Found them under dining room table last night - did not get upset found a "nice" answer and did not stress. Can I do that more often?? Hmmmm....
Have a taker for a large Fall wreath - would hate to throw something out if someone can use it. Tossing and packing and laundry on my to do list.
Hope you are having a more "exciting" weekend. What is everyone making for meals? Recipes?

Good afternoon Miss Sara -
I am sitting at SFO chilling before my flight back to the East Coast. I will miss the blue-blue skies and beautiful weather here! What a wonderful 3 weeks this has been in your lovely state of California~~
Sara - I applaud you for your thoughts about the missing dollar bills.....that is such a healthy way to think! Good for you, seriously!
Waving to everyone else here and whoever stops by later on. Big hugs & enjoy all the good things that will happen for you today.

Hi guys so sorry I've not been in. Life has been mega busy this week, daughter had half term so we've been out doing loads!
I'm still on plan and am 41lbs down since starting, 1lb to get to 3 stones gone!
Baby horses arrived on Wednesday which was amazing, they are so lovely. I've driven about 1800 miles this week what with getting them home and helping a friend move some wardrobes she was given.
Went ice skating again on Thursday evening with my lovely friends and survived. Celebrated a friend's 70th birthday with her and had an amazing time. Daughter and her horse won the riding club dressage championship for her section which meant she got her first ever trophy.
There's probably more that I've missed but I'm so tired and back at work in the morning! I need a holiday to get over my time off! Oh yes and I fell over in the mud whilst visiting new horses but I'm counting that as a win because I didn't hurt myself and I managed to get up by myself! I've also successfully managed to have a bath and get out without needing assistance from the fire brigade so that was a huge win too.
Apologies but I've not read up, I just hope everyone is okay and still here? I have a busy day at work tomorrow but will try to catch up asap.
Finally a pic of the babies just because I'm obsessed!

Woke up Thursday with a headache that became so intense, I was nauseated and light headed. I ate a couple times, thinking that might help... did not at all... took a nap, did not help... needless to say, I was in bed all day, trying not to vomit. Still didn't feel right on Friday. Still, having issues with nausea... struggling eating... nothing sounds good...I don't know if I'm fighting a bug or what is going on...I keep having a burning feeling in my belly and, have spent more time in the bathroom than I care to talk about...2

Niki - wonderful pictures - glad you got time off even if it may not feel like it.
Dawn - do you have urgent care near you?? That combination of symptoms may need intervention. Food next paragraph, you might not want to read it.....
Hard boiled eggs for lunches, bought a roasted chicken and made chicken salad for dinner.
Did not toss or pack but that is tomorrow. I made a to do list as I did evaluation today instead of action.

Wishing all a good night.1 -
Sara- yes, we have Urgent Care. Unfortunately, I honestly don't know when I would be able to go. They are closed by the time I get off. My next day off, is DH Dr visit, 2 hours away... it would be at least a week and a half, unless I went to ER... if it persists or gets worse, I will find a way to go... thank you for your thoughts...1
