  • Happy Tuesday ! ! ! Just a quick fly-by again. Work is still getting busier, and they have eliminated a position, so more and more work. But that's okay, that's why I get a paycheck at the end of the week. DS is still struggling to decide on his calling for a sport, but that's okay because he just turned 16. He really…

  • Happy Thursday ! ! ! I am still quite busy at work, trying to get a little housework done every evening at home, and bowling season has already begun, in addition to school for DS. I see my Rheumatologist tomorrow, and will get the instructions on switching from Plaquenil to Methotrexate. Then the following week I see the…

  • Happy August ! ! ! I finally have a few minutes to myself, and time to type, at the same time. I have been sliding backwards with my eating, and not getting in a sufficient amount of exercise, but I have a plan, and it includes checking in with you all much more frequently. I think I have convinced myself that I don't need…

  • Happy Tuesday ! I am swooping in to let you all know how much I miss you and all the support and motivation. I am in the Indianapolis Crowne Plaza. Currently doing laundry while Greg and Payne go to Denny's for breakfast. Payne is not happy with his bowling because his place is at 27%. But there are still 3 more rounds of…

  • Good Morning Everyone ! ! ! I see it has been almost 2 months since I've had time to chat with all of you. I really shouldn't have time right now, but my RA is terrible in my hip, so I will bounce on my yoga ball instead of riding the bike in fitness. I am training new hires nation-wide right now, and my supervisor is in…

  • Happy Friday ! ! ! Sorry I was gone for so long again. Work got busy again, and so did my evenings at home. I can’t believe how time-consuming life can still be when DS is finally “between sports”. Now I need to shop and prepare for Junior Gold Bowling Nationals, and that kid keeps eating, so he keeps growing, so I have to…

  • Happy Friday/ Friday the 13th/ Full Moon ! ! ! Saffron – Yes, Avon still sells clothes, and I have a motivational shirt. It is bright yellow and from Avon. It is hanging in my hall, so I see it every time I walk to/from bedroom, bathroom, etc. I’m so excited to hear that the motivational dress worked for you ! ! ! Marcelyn…

  • Heather - it is hard to eat that way. Although I love a big breakfast I'm usually satisfied with a small lunch so I can have a big supper. I'm surprising myself with the small supper. This week I'm eating cottage cheese and rhubarb which is more filling than I expected. Since baseball games didn't start yet I go to bed…

  • Kim – I read back to the posts on the previous page, and your message struck a chord with me. A few years ago, when my sister died in my home, we told her kids first, then my sister, then my Mom’s family in Illinois. My cousin called at 10:30 pm and the first thing she said was “what the he11 happened”. A few weeks later I…

  • Happy Thursday ! ! ! Just a fly-by, because I need to clear my brain from the "Crabarella" at work. I have been doing my best to eat the king to pauper-theory, and so far it is going well, but I am working very hard at keeping myself busy in the evenings, since evening boredom is my downfall. Plenty more bowling for DS…

  • Happy Friday Everyone ! ! ! I should be back for a few days, but no promises. At work we just rolled-out a new check-in and demographic process that I am learning, then I have to start teaching it next Monday. DH had his final “regular season” bowling last night, but spring/summer started already this week, so I have spent…

  • Happy Monday ! ! ! I only have 15 minutes until lunch, so I offer you all a hearty and heartfelt hug ! Still very busy at work, learning how to budget my time with my added responsibilities, and so far it is going well. Like last year, I did get influenza A, again from my DS, and my immune system was so busy fighting my…

  • Today I am binge-watching the final season of Downton Abbey and eating the last of the fresh produce in my house that DS won't eat while we're gone. Luckily my hands are also feeling good, so I just might finish the poncho I was hoping to wear in Reno. Almost completely packed, which is WAY out of my norm, but change is…

  • Mary - just a fly-by because it has been a crazy day. I have done 3 sets of 10 pushups so far, and will try super hard to do more before I head to bed in a few hours. Hugs !

  • 5th set done at 1:15pm <3 It is so much easier than even thinking about doing 50 pushups in a row. My posture is better, and I think my tummy is pulling in a little, too (probably not yet for real, but it feels like that, so I'm taking it as an NSV! ! !

  • Miriam - thanks for understanding about my sour face. I keep trying to hide behind a smile, but it doesn't always happen. I will keep trying to smile. Janetr - years ago, while in physical therapy for a car accident, the therapist told me to start with a can of soup in each hand. Then graduate to a bottle of gatorade, etc.…

  • Mary - I can do 6 sets of 10, but can't even imagine doing 60 in a row without stopping. I'm going to do a set of 10 before bouncing on my ball, then "jump in with both feet" tomorrow. Yay ! ! !

  • Mary – I do pushups at my desk, so I’m not on the floor, but at an angle that my hand pain can tolerate. Today I did 22 pushups, but I will join you. How many do I do tomorrow? Kim – Not this Terri. My husband has traumatic brain injury from getting hit by the school bus in first grade. That definitely creates its own…

  • Happy Tuesday ! ! ! Kristan – So sorry your post disappeared. For me sometimes a post will get buried, because so many other people posted while I am typing that my computer jumps over a bunch of things in an attempt to keep up. I look forward to communicating with you and everyone else soon. // I’m so sorry about your…

  • Sylvia - Real quick before I leave work: When the school petitioned the court and CPS to give me custody of the girl that would eventually become my foster daughter, it held a LOT of weight, because I wasn't licensed yet. So as long as I showed monthly receipts proving I was trying to get my house "to code", I maintained…

  • Grits – The auditions were last week Sunday. She did a song called “creep” or something like that. She can sing almost anything you put in front of her, or play for her just once. The friend she brought along sang “Broken Wing”. It was mostly a nice visit, and a chance to hang out at Navy Pier. None of the 10 in her group…

  • Happy Thursday ! ! ! Katla,Lenora – My DD was here last week to audition for The Voice, and I was unfortunately surprised by her size, and I just saw her over Christmas. I wish I could wave a magic wand and make her dedicated to her health, but since I’m still far from perfect, I will just pray from the sidelines, and…
