  • Hi ladies,

    Judo, I'm impressed. Congratulations!

    Ravin, Happy Anniversary!

    Stick Me With A Fork. Look forward to getting to know you.

    Leenie, thank you for starting our new thread. The weeks are flying by and NO, my weekend wasn't wild, it was spent at work.

    I slept late today and went out to breakfast at IHOP. We saw 'Max Payne' after that. It was pretty good. I got a stomach ache after that however b/c of the popcorn and had to take it easy which prevented me from doing my classwork. I seem to be getting more and more behind in it.

    I had a few moments today when I thought I was just going to break down crying for no good reason. That hadn't happened in a while. Other than that and the self-imposed stomach ache it was a pretty good day.

    How's everybody else?
  • happy anniversary, raven!

    welcome to "stick me with a fork." I seriously love your username!

    no wild weekend for me, either... just studying. well, and procrastinating. the weeks really are flying by, though. I think i'm glad for it, but in some ways it makes me sad. There are some things I just want to be done with, but at the same time, I think, i'm not stopping and enjoying my life, just letting it pass me by.
  • Hi everyone!

    Welcome Stick me with a fork looking forward to getting to know you.

    Happy anniversary Raven!

    Hi there Hope, Iris, Leenie, Judo and everyone else.

    No wild weekend here either. We got gravel on the driveway Sat. And I went to the chiropractor on Sat as well. I can walk now so that is good, I go back and see him again on Wed so all is good there. Hubby left Sun afternoon for work. Unfortunitly his truck broke down this afternoon and is now in the shop. DdC is happy as she is back in her judo classes. She still can't do the actual fighting but she can do the exercises and be with her friends. I'm rather pleased with myself today as I kept the eating under control. I boiled the turkey carcass and made a borsht like soup with it, I love beets. And while DdC was in judo I walked around the parking lots. It wasn't much but I spent all last week in bed on an ice pack.
    Anyhow I should go to bed as its midnight.
    Take care everyone,
    K
  • Hola.

    Well here I am at work. Yay. The girls were glad to see me back. They were quite worried. lol. But now my coworker, who I work with all night with, is talking about going to a different shift or asking our boss about part-time hrs. I never thought she would stay on this shift. Not that its hard, I mean its no picnic for just single or married people, but if you have a child and she has a baby, its really difficult. Only good part of it is being off for 3 or 4 days. But I plan on looking for a job at the Childrens Hospital where my hubby works anyways. Its sad when you meet people who you get along with so well and you have to move on. I know we can keep in contact outside of work and all, but I know that is tough, esp with her having a baby and all.

    I figure I am enjoying the moment. Enjoying the time here and now because that is all we can really do is make the most out of the little time we have together, because you never know what is going to happen.

    Now I feel bad about not going out to eat with my FIL yesterday morning. Not the going out to eat part, but just spending time with him. But I was quite distraught yesterday morning so I am sure he understands. I will just have to plan a time for us to go out together again soon. We usually do around the holidays, we go xmas shopping together.

    Anyways I am rambling, a sure sign that I am feeling better!!! lol.

    Big
  • Judo you're staying strong and I'm glad to see it. Many hugs to you

    Welcome fork

    Raven congrats on you're anniversary. Yoga is brilliant! glad you enjoyed it.

    Hope - is your stomach any better today? I know how awful it when you just want to breakdown for no reason, but if you have to give in, then do it


    Iris I know the feeling, it's really difficult to make the most of it though especially when sometimes it's the last thing you want to do.

    Buddly glad to hear you can walk again! and wtg with the eating today

    Sassy - Glad you're feeling better!

    Me... I have soo much work to do and just not enough time, or maybe motivation to do it. I had no sleep at the weekend so thats catching up with me too. I also saw my lecturer yesterday and she assured me it was ok that I hadn't been in class for 2 weeks, because I did the work at home and she was just generally worried about me. So, same old. I'm not terrible, not fantastic just very tired and in need of energy and possibly hugs.
  • hi Stick me with a Fork welcome to our little corner of the world.

    Thanks for all of the well wishes everyone. I seriously am in shock... and denial. Hub is off for lots of tests and procedures tomorrow. Some take awhile for results. I would imagine a course of treatment will be better outlined once the results are back. I do know chemo is going to start fast.

    I have an appt for a complete physical coming up in a few weeks. I will have a talk with my Dr. The old anxieties are creeping in again... I had a rash (confounded several doctors) develop 3 years ago in April. About 6 months ago, it disappeared. It was under my armpits, outer edges. I first thought it was like a yeast thing, but apparently, it was not. We had a terrible time finding something to treat it. It just masked it tho... then, on its own, it disappeared this spring. Now, I have a twitchy eyelid... big time twitch. Seems to have replaced it. I don't think I need my Wellbutrin upped, but I can feel those panicky moments hovering at times.. mostly at work when things are intense. Anyway, he and I will have a talk.

    I hope everyone has a good week. Thinking of you all, even though I'm not good at addressing everyone personally. And thanks for all of the support.. you have no idea how much it means to me.
  • Last night was bad. I basically had a freakin cry fest because 2 of my friends told me they are pregnant. It's just never gonna be me is it?? Why can't I be one of the lucky ones?

    BIG BIG I totally can sympathize, as its happened to me more times than I care to count. Doesn't seem fair I know.

  • I'm totally disgusted and horrified at myself. I've regained all of my weight and it seems no matter how hard I try to re-lose it comfort eating and bingeing and things it seems I cant control just get in the way. My clothes dont fit anymore, and I just dont want to be seen by anybody. I've literally just stayed in my bedroom and my head hurts so badly from crying. I feel like giving up, it just seems hopeless that I'm ever going to rid myself of this weight I really don't know what to do anymore.

    Big Lauren. I think we all feel that way from time to time. I know at least I do. What I do when I feel like that is just get up, brush myself off and start again. Everyday is a new day to start again. That is my motto. I know that is easier said than done. Trust me. Just start in small steps and work your way up. But don't give up and your not hopeless, we believe in you.

  • Good evening everybody,

    Big hugs to all of you! Sounds like almost everyone could use one.

    I had class this morning and pool tonight... I'm pooped. Gonna hit the hay. I hope you all feel better tomorrow.
