@Patti241, Loved reading Patti you like to get outside often!! Tomorrow they are saying we'll be up to 74! YO!! Our average this time of year is 58. You know I am looking forward to wintah!
@Sweetpeasmom55, oh that sounds interesting!! It'll feel wonderful to have it done. You may even inspire others to do the same! Often others read the chat though they may not respond. How did the day go? I went to the congregation I attend today (sometimes I need to use Zoom) after a bunch of us go out to eat. It gives us a chance to giggle quite hard. Came home and immediately got into comfy clothes, laid down, and slept for 3 1/2 hours. Went to sleep with Izzy Kitty, and woke up to Oscar. They are so funny.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and I am feeling so much better today. Friday was rough for me as my Fibro flared up. So I took half a day off work because I won't allow myself to not even try when it comes to work. I will give it a good honest go before I actually say nope I cannot do this today. Then I spend the next day and a half sleeping due to the exhaustion the Fibro causes in my body. I don't understand how my fibro can be getting worse. It just does not seem right, but it is getting worse. Last month I only needed half a day and this month I have taken a whole day. Weird..

@SweetPeasMom55 - Thank you. At 26 I found an OB-GYN who would tie my tubes, but I pretty much had to tell him that I would sue him if I ever got pregnant again just to get my point across that I did not want anymore children. I had 2 and that was enough for me. Fast forward to 2022 and now I kinda wish I had waited since Joe and I reconnected, but he also has a vasectomy so he really did not want anymore children after his 2. So I guess we are good. We don't need more children since ours are grown and out of the house. That is good that you are helping your coworkers eat well.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I agree it is probably hard on Joe. Joe is great on action things. So I do get that. I will definitely talk to my doctor about my options. I am not even sure if my OB-GYN will recommend surgery at this point. She may just want to continue monitoring.
@Kurtize - I hope your weather is better.
@baodell17724 - I think they are teaching you to also eat right. I see a bariatric doctor who helps me with calories and macros and all that stuff. She also will prescribe the weight loss medications if we chose to take them, but she will only do so once you have been doing the weight loss plan for several months and not seeing any benefits of it.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday,

Tabatha

I got up early and put another coat on the sink. Hoping I don't stink like paint as I'm off to work. The fumes are so bad😷. Have a great day everyone!!

Diane: I try to get outside as much as I can.

@Sweetpeasmom55, OH YO!! On the fumes!! UGH and the window. LOLOL I DID LAUGH TO HARD at not being able to lock H in a room like you can the cat!! I could picture that!! Please be careful around the fumes. Oh my GD Has MANY reptiles I'm going to be going up for an overnighter because my oldest GGS really wants me to stay overnight.
@Patti241 Today I went to Bug Light where we ate lunch, and watched the boats out in the harbor. I lost my elastic, the wind was very strong so I got creative and used my lancet for my keys to hold my hair back!

@Tabatha_Cain fibro goes around in flares. It'll rear its ugly head up, calm down, and come around again. As you learn to stretch more and get acupuncture when you start to feel tired more than normal or know the signs, you'll be able to deal with it better.

@Tabatha_Cain it’s hard realising that blah years ago you could run a marathon, then climb a mountain before you stopped for lunch and now sometimes lunchtime is here before you think about getting out of bed.
You get used to it, honest. Set yourself a goal for the day and take off the last job before you start out.
Now start the job and have regular breaks and when the body starts objecting STOP
Like I did yesterday. There’s about 1/6th still to do. And never before would I have left it like that. But no I’m not a teenager anymore

#MakeADogsDay
Today is a reminder to animal lovers everywhere to adopt a pet instead of buying a new one. In fact, we encourage everyone to visit a shelter to see why adopting a four-legged friend will make the world a better place.

@Dianedoessmiles1 the ground was actually a bit heavy for digging but I was lifting soft plants and it was going to be unsightly. We just have bulbs and flowers in it.

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a boring day I can tell. It is supposed to be my birthday, but it seems that is being ignored today by my husband. I got nothing from him this morning about it being my birthday. Just him talking about his stuff again. I love him but he does take after his mom and like to talk about himself a lot.

@nansbones7708 - It is rough. I ran 2 5k's and now I can barely make it through a workday without feeling drained. It honestly stinks.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - It isn't so much the pain. That is all the time and constant, but the other issues associated with Fibro. Like the fatigue. The sheer exhaustion that happens all of a sudden after just a couple of hours at work. Then I have to push through because I only have 4 days of time off I can take. I feel like I will fall asleep at any minute most of the time. Even after sleeping several hours.
@SweetPeasMom55 - I hope you are able to get the photo posted. I would love to see it. I hope you got everything done.

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

Tabatha

Good morning everyone.

@nansbones7708 That's quite the workout!! WOW!! Nicely done.
@SweetPeasMom55, Did you get to the pool and the appointments on time? WOW!! I love to see your before and after pics!!! If you downloaded the pictures to your device, the little picture up above (I can't do it on my phone, I can do it on my computer and tablet though) looks like a sun and mountain click on that, please. Find the picture you want (you can only do 1 at a time, but can put the others underneath we can put as many pics into a post as we wish), and TADA!
@Tabatha_Cain , oh my yes!! Fatigue is a part of it along with brain fog. Did Joe do anything for you today? Maybe there's something planned for the weekend.
@Patti241, did you enjoy the day?
@Kurtize, We hope your day was PAWSOME!!!

Fun Fact:
NATIONAL FOOD DAY
National Food Day focuses on healthy and nutritious food and takes place annually on October 24th.
#NationalFood Day
One of the themes of the day aims to help people to “Eat Real.” This theme is defined as "cutting back on sugar drinks, overly salted packaged foods and fatty, factory-farmed meats in favor of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and sustainably raised protein." The observance involves some of the country’s most prominent food activists, too. Their vision includes food that can be healthy, affordable, and sustainably produced. At the same time, the goal is to produce food with care for the environment, farm animals, and the people who grow, harvest, and serve it in mind.
The movement seeks a balance between nutrition, affordability and the environment. They strive to meet these goals by consistently addressing policy. In 2012, there were 3,200 events taking place from community festivals to a national conference in Washington, D.C. to thousands of school activities.

Well I keep trying to download pictures. Oy I am going to ask the girls at work. I am incredibly proud I have shown the pictures to everyone who will look.

Next week is fruits.😫 I am one of those people who doesn't like fruit. Love veggies not a fruit person. This is going to be hard.

I love morning pool!! I get there at 6 am swim till 7. Get to work by 7:15. Work isn't fond of swimming sue as I come to work all hyped up and they're barely getting to work on time. Hubby isn't fond of me leaving the house so early but whatever.

@Tabatha_Cain I have been with my husband 30 years. He still can't remember my birthday. The last gift I got from him was when we were dating. Yes I always remembered his. Now fair is fair and last year I ignored his. Our birthdays are a month apart. I got Its my b'day don't I get cake or something? I ignored him next day his sister brought him a cake. I also realized at this point my b'day had been ignored more than celebrated. Now I celebrate me. I will see if he remembers and decide if I ignore him again.

Tah Dah!!!!!!!

Good Morning Airport Friends:

I hope you are all doing well this morning. I am so glad it is Friday. I cannot wait for the weekend. I am ready to relax. It is raining hard here this morning. So no morning walk or anything. I may do some exercising this morning. I feel like everything here is off since my Birthday. I just feel like there is a distance between us. It could be in my head, but I doubt it.

@SweetPeasMom55 - We actually talked about it and he apologized. It wasn't that I wanted stuff it was that he came home from work and immediately stated he wanted to go play his computer game. No hey I know we don't have a lot of money but do you wanna go for a walk or something. Spend some time together. That was my problem. When he realized I was not mad about stuff he apologized. Then apparently because I vented to my son, my son said something probably quite rude to my husband. So now I feel a distance between us. I am sorry your daughter also has fibromyalgia. I know you didn't intend to pass that on to her. I also was just recently diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and my kids are adults. Most people at their jobs don't realize how good they have it. If they stage a walkout they very well could get fired and end up in the unemployment line.
@Dianedoessmiles1 - I did talk with Joe. I had vented to my son and my son said something to Joe and now I feel like there is space between Joe and I. Before I felt we were inseparable and now I feel like he could walk out of my life at any moment and not care. I think I hurt him that bad by going to my son to vent.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful Friday.

Tabatha
