Good morning!
Happy Monday to you too, @KateNkognito!! Weekend was good. Went to a friend's house on Saturday night and stayed up wayyy too late. LOL But, food wise not bad at all. We do eat pretty clean on the weekends, but are not good about tracking.
Hope your doctor can help with your hormonal issues. Ugh. As far as your hormones go, you are most likely dealing with perimenopause, because if I recall you are in your 40's still. 35 to 50 is when women typically deal with that and in the past I didn't even know a darn thing about perimenopause because I feel like nobody tells us anything about it. :( Menopause is typically 51 on and when we stop time of the month. I stopped as of last October when it was a year for me of no TOM. So far so good here. No hot flashes or anything.
Mom is still in the hospital. Thank you for asking. Hopefully today she will have a biopsy on the rash she's been dealing with. I am going to call the hospital this morning to see if I can get an update. She had told a family friend that she thought she'd be getting out tomorrow, Tuesday. Yes, I could just call her and speak with her (you would think), but she is terrible with hearing her cell phone, answering it, or seeing there was a call she missed. Sigh… I will keep you posted.
Rainy, cloudy, crappy day here. Glad to be home in my comfy clothes!
Hope you have a good week and it is less crazy!! See you soon.

Spent the morning finishing all the things that almost got done yesterday. Now I can start fresh and blast through a whole bunch of things.
@Meghan509 I hope you get an update today. I totally get people of that generation having difficulty with the cellphone. It is usually quicker to call someone else. 😉 I hope you get good news!
I am sure that what I am dealing with is perimenopause. Nobody tells you about "reverse puberty"! I have been playing with supplements and what to take/not take. I think I have a good balance going this week. We'll see. And it will probably change as hormones change. At least I am no longer so hungry that I am willing to have my own arm as a snack. And the hot flashes have gone away… for now.
Have a great rest of the week! Back to work for me!

Good morning!
Good news! My Mom was discharged from the hospital yesterday afternoon and she is doing better. The rash on her body is still there, but they have given her some creams to use to hopefully resolve it. The hospital called me and said they spoke to her assisted living facility and told them that they need to step it up to help her with her medicines and applying her cream for her rash. They agreed. Fingers crossed.
New EA called in sick yesterday and today. Sigh… I don't know. I am trying not to have a bad feeling about this, but not sure if this will pan out. More fingers crossed.
Work is busy but not crazy, which is nice. Commute was easy today which I like! Weather still feels too cool to be spring, but we will get there. Patience!
I think I saw that you just posted on the thread. LOL Smart minds! Let me see…

Good morning!
Forgot to check in yesterday and looks like you have been busy too, @KateNkognito!!
Hope your week is going well.
My Mom is doing okay. I just wish her assisted living facility would get off their butts and come up to her room to apply her cream for her rash and to give her her medicine. UGH. I spoke to her case manager yesterday and she was a nice lady and really wants to help my Mom get what she needs. Kind of a relief.
Work has been busy but not crazy. Going with the flow!
Supposed to finally be a warmer day on Saturday - can't wait!
Hope you are having a good week. Back to work grumble grumble. Chat soon.

This week can go step on a Lego in damp socks. My mama always said if you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all. So I am just going to kick sand over this week and move on.
@Meghan509 I hope the case manager can help. It is really hard living any distance from your parents as they get older.
I am just going to get through today, then roll into the weekend. I HAVE to clean and do laundry, but we have a bunch of other things to do, too. Hopefully, I can have some quiet time, too.
Have a great weekend!

Good morning!
Ugh, sorry to hear it @KateNkognito I don't like to hear about you having crappy weeks. :( My Mom always taught me the same. If you don't have anything nice then don't say it… Hugs. 💖
Hope you are able to relax this weekend and decompress a little.
Thanks, yes I am happy that I have made contact with the case manager. It is hard, even though I kind of knew that Mom would be the tougher parent when she got older. She has had a lot of issues over the years with arthritis and all that fun stuff.
The good news - I am down two pounds this week! 🎉 I have dropped my calories a little and I think that is helping.
No big plans this weekend, which is how we like it. Tomorrow is supposed to be 77 degrees F!! Woot! Can't wait to spend a little time outside and to take a walk perhaps.
Hope you have a good weekend. See you soon.

Good morning!
Starting this post just before noon ET here, only a few minutes left of the morning technically!
Hope you had a nice weekend. Ours was quiet but good. Managed to take a walk on Saturday since it was warm. Went down to one of our state parks that is on the water and it was sooo windy! We lasted only for a short walk before we had to give up and head back to the car. LOL
Yesterday was very quiet. Cloudy and cooler, so we basically watched TV and relaxed. Got the laundry done too.
Yesterday afternoon I decided to finally try press on nails. My colleague at work has such beautiful nails and she said they were press on nails. Went on to Amazon and found a cute set of shorter French ones. I put them on and approximately an hour or two later, one was popping off! Grrrr. Put it back on and managed to sleep and shower okay. This morning I went to put on a necklace and one popped off again. Grrrr… This time I said I am done. Soaked them all off and am back to my own nails. Sigh… I might give them one more shot, in a pair that is truly short and not too long. I don't know how the ladies to it with such long nails!!
Hope you are having a good day. Almost time for lunch! Have a good day. See you soon.
