Forgot to post my reply before heading to work this morning, luckily it was short. My BFF turns 70 in March and plans for a surprise Disney themed party are underway. The original date was changed because I have a trip to Florida planned. They changed it for me and I am so grateful and humbled. We are doing a Sniw White…

Cindy, please remind Meg I am but an hour away and know the area well. She can call, text, email,FB me. You have all my info feel free to share with her. Had a glorious time with the girls and then lunch....could have made better choice of salad toppings but at least I didn't go for a burger or sandwich and fries, which…

Quick hello, getting ready to head out the door for card making and GF time. My back pain has not recurred so guess it was just a spasm from TRX. MFP won't load on my iPad, will work on it later Diane, poor Carrie, hope she is feeling better today and that you are not feeling guilty. Janet, we should all face life's…

Quick good morning before I head to the gym for Zumba and Pilates. Back is almost completely pain free but I am being very mindful of my body mechanics. Nursing 101 still serving me well. It was not a fluke that I never injured my back during my career, I have always paid attention to how I move, lift, carry, etc. the most…

Cindy, hope WW is just what you need. We all have to find the path that works best for us. Janet, hope you get some sleep tonigh. Sounds like a great report and I know you are rocking the purple cast. Good luck with your cable guy tomorrow. TRX was cancelled tonight, trainer had to take his wife (who is our real trainer)…

Good afternoon ladies, Janet, you are sounding a bit more like yourself. Hope there is good news and good pictures at the Dr tomorrow. Sorry about your connection woes but I know you will be persuasive and get things fixed before Saturday. Suzi, Ellis sure knows how to welcome you home. Loved his guilty face! You rocked…

Diane, checked with my GF and she said the 2 serving Blue Apron was enough for two but not 3. Cindy, ice and heat and NSAIDS until you see the Dr. Mom did just fine with the new medication. Her arm was super sore from the pneumovax shot yesterday but otherwise she is doing great, seeing better all the time and ready for…

It is a rainy and dreary day here but having lunch with my favorite ladies will make it seem like the sun is shining! I lost another pound this week, so another reason to feel sunny. Have a few errands for Mom after lunch and then I am hitting my craft room to prepare for Saturday. We are planning to make 20-40 cards, they…

Diane, can you come help me with my craft room? I never seem to get things organized just right. Always searching for that "one" thing. Sounds like a good group of classes for you at the gym. Bert, enjoy your time with Jillian. Today did not go exactly as planned. Mom's BP is still higher than they want it so a new med was…

Janet, so glad you are finally home and praying you can actually get some rest. We're the kitties overjoyed to see you? Do take care and don't overdo. Cindy, amazing how one weekend of indulgence can affect how we feel for a few days. Great plan for today and 15 minutes is where you start. Suzi, hope checking in keeps you…

Bert, so glad you had a good time in French Lick and that Mike was honored. How frustrating for the students but happy you are not involved with the fix, you have enough on your plate. Cindy, welcome home and thanks for the hugs. Your blog was filled with such joy and love. What a wonderful tribute to your Mom! Thanks for…

Quick good morning before I head out to work. Suzi, it is so easy to let your resolve slip when you are not reporting in isn't it? Well lesson learned and now you have a better plan for accountability in your next trip. Don't look back, you are not going that way. Janet, I pray you get home and are safe to do so. So sorry…

Good morning, Janet, I am incensed on your behalf! I certainly hope that you give your feedback when you get home. Their reimbursement is based on patient satisfaction, kick them where it matters most. You would be better off at home with therapy and a home health aid. Again, I sure wish I lived closer so I could take care…

Karla, so sorry to hear there are problems causing you stress and tears. Another busy day at work, feet and knees screaming but am over 14k steps and on plan with food and water. Relaxing and will retire soon. Work again tomorrow and not much else. Patti

Diane, do they have Pilates or a circuit class at your gym? How about a body flow or weights? I did step when I was younger but it is just too hard on my knees. That instructor didn't sound particularly helpful. Do they offer personal trainers? Just some thoughts. Patti

Karla, did you get my card? Janet, glad you are going to rehab for a short stint. You are so right about speaking up. The most important control you have is your voice and I know you will exercise it as well as your body. Thinking strong thoughts for you. Patti

Hello ladies, great workout at TRX last night and again this morning with Zumba and Pilates. Soreness gone! Got asked to work tonight 5-10pm, so there goes my 2 days off in a row. Working Saturday and Sunday and then have 4 days off, if I don't get called in that is. Will work as much as my body allows until summer and…

Janet, pleasant surprise to see your post. Don't worry about personals, we understand. Just stop by when you are able and say hi when you can. We are all here pulling for you. Praying for pain control first and foremost at this time. Have confidence that this is going to be the "fix" that gets you more mobile, with less…

What has happened to all my sweet, grateful customers. Everyone lately seems to be needy, demanding, unkind and impatient. They are starting to rub off on me and I do 't like that at all. Working on being more patient no matter what! Looking forward to 2 days off and time at the gym. They asked me to come in tomorrow but I…

So excited to report I lost 1.8 this week. It feels good to just be in control again. I still make poor choices at times but I am tracking it and not letting one poor choice ruin a day of good choices. Work today 12-5 then 2 days off. Still no word on my car and hope that doesn't mean it is going to cost more and that…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARLA! Do you have anything fun planned? Did Glenn get you some bling? Enjoy your day in every way. Did you talk to the Dr about Glenn's leg pain and numbness? Woke up at 7am, couldn't understand why, then realized it was to send up more prayers for Janet! Diane, I do hope they can get Carrie's pain under…

How very nice to see so much chatter here. Karla, do not wait a week on the numbness and pain if it persists. Go to urgent care if there is no partner to see him in the office. I would at least call the office and speak with a nurse about his symptoms. Have fun decorating Izzy's room. Diane, take some healthy snacks to the…

Late and quick check in, it was rude day at Jo Ann's today and will leave it at that. Suzi, great plan for your travel week. Janet, looking forward to you chemically enhanced posts, always fun. Extra prayers for your surgeon's hands. Until tomorrow Patti

Wow, how did it get to be Sunday already. I have been totally addlepated on my days this week for some reason. Looks like we all escaped the freezing rain that was predicted. I think everyone stayed home until 1pm, when the freeze warning was supposed to end, then they all came to Jo Ann's. We had 4 people cutting and…

Hello out there, we did not get the freezing rain that they were predicting, yeah. It was a madhouse at work and everywhere else yesterday as people prepared for the "storm". It rained and it is cold but that is it. I had a busy day but got some of the nicest compliments from my customers. There was one lady with a…

Good morning ladies. I am so sore today, luckily it is upper body since I have to work the next 4 days. The one thing about this job is that I never stop. There is a 15 minute break where I sit and drink my 24 ounce bottle of water and hit the bathroom. We are not allowed to have any food or drinks anywhere but the…

Well I survived my two workouts. It feels great to be back to the gym. Making my oriental fish packets and used cauliflower rice in mine. First time trying it, will let you know. Found out it will cost a bit over $1000 to fix my car. The clutch is out in the super charger and all the hoses and belts need replaced while…

Cindy, can't tell you how proud I am of you. I know the hardest thing to do is let go of what you cannot control and/or change and focus on what you can....YOU! It is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself. I only wish you did not have to go through this at all. Thank you for trusting us with your heart. Karla, good…

Good morning, Karla, thanks for sharing the story. I think we all felt the same way as the writer and have been on one side or the other of it and possibly both sides at some point in our lives. I can honestly say, and with great pride and love, that I have never felt unsupported by my friends and family regardless of…

Finally....slipper success. I bought fur lined moccasins and it turns out she loves moccasins! Who knew, I have never known her to own a pair. Had I known that the whole ordeal would have a slam dunk. But we both had a good laugh about it. Caught up on Nashville and our usual weekly chatter. Janet, will you be in staying…
