Well, today is quiet at work, the boss just told me to go home (but I have to wait for DH), and Monday is a holiday (our government declared the third Monday in February as Family Day). Can things get any better today? Yes, and they just did. I finished reading all your posts and I'm in such a good mood.
tlc - When I first read your post, I did a double take. I thought that it said you were babysitting a 17 year old... Thought to myself - That would be fun. Hope the day is special and the play doh gets into everything. Have fun.
amber - Hope you are feeling OK. I just had my wisdom teeth out last June. I thought that it would put me down a day, then I would be back at it. I'm just not 30 anymore and it took me quite a while to recover. When I was at home sick, feeling sorry for myself, I booked a trip to Mexico...
Ruth - Don't worry about the mice. They will move out when it gets warm, as long as you don't feed them.
We get mice every fall when the weather turns cold...they just move right in. I woke up one morning with one on my pillow staring me in the face. I bolted up, then DH bolted, thinking he would fight the burglar and save the damsel in distress. The funnier picture was watching him, buck naked, chasing the mouse around the bedroom with a stick.
Anchor - Here's wishes hoping you get the thumbs up on the exercise. If you have more problems with the back, don't push it. You don't want to take any chances with long term problems with your back.
ellis - Take care...thinking of you.
Laurie - Have a great, realxing weekend. Don't do too much homework, that can always wait until midnight the night before.
Rayneysmom - WTG, girl. You are such a good example of working through an addiction. You are such an inspiration. Take care.
Hunnybee - The hardest part of staying OP for me is when people bring treats in to work. I have finally gotten to the point of just saying no, and it really doesn't bother me, but it is difficult getting to that point. I started by accepting and eating a bite, or two, then switching to an OP snack that I alway have on hand. That helped me to get through the snack times and to also feel like I wasn't being deprived. Don't let the stress get to you. Remember who owns the problem and don't take it off his hands. You can do this...
Me - I have had a couple busy and chaotic weeks here. Two weeks ago, I took a day off work to visit with friends that we have only caught up to after 35 years. When I was 17, my dad died, and about the same time, her dad got transferred to another city. She married a fellow that we all met in university, but he was in his last year and we (my friend, DH (then boyfriend) and me) were in our first year. Her DH graduated, then joined the RCMP, she moved with her parents, and we lost touch...until last Easter. We caught up on email. The weekend together was spent talking...there was so much to catch up with. We had a great time.
Then, last week, we found out that DM has a recurrence of breast cancer. I spent last week and this taking her to doctors. I got so busy with that, that I missed my own appointment to check my cancer.
However, the dr. was kind enough to reschedule and I should be with it soon. The prognosis for DM does not look good, however, she seems to be taking it fairly well. She is 84 and in the first stages of dimentia, so she forgets a lot or what is going on around her. Probably a good thing in this case.
Soooo, there lies my last couple of weeks. I have not been able to get my exercise in, but finally got back to the track today. It felt good to get out there again...and so quiet. It is reading week at the college here, so the students are all gone. I'm sure that is just the quiet before the storm, but we are about halfway through the last semester. It will be summer very soon now, providing this -25 weather would leave.
Anyway, I guess that should be about enough complaining today. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll be back from days off on Tuesday...
