I'm not feeling very well tonight as I had an emergency dentist appt. today. I got 2 teeth pulled, 1 was infected. I feel tons better then this morning but am still in quite a bit of pain. I've been gently gargling with salt water since i got home this afternoon. I am hoping by tomorrow I'll feel even better.
Holly, that is awesome you are working out so much. I bet you do feel better. I feel better since getting my knees shot with cortisone. I am getting around a lot more. I still have a very long way to go to be fit but even just walking around the house, doing chores, I just feel better and i'm not even exercising yet. Enjoy your Friday and subsequent days off.
Holly, I have not heard back from the contractor. I'm going to have to call them back again. My bath was interesting, Holly. I did not know that tub was so small. I won't go into detail but getting down into the tube and then trying to get out, was interesting. It's not impossible but just interesting.
I also forgot to take the turkey out of the freezer yesterday. All I have had on my mind was the agony my teeth were causing me. Luckily, tonight, I remembered and put the turkey in the kitchen sink to thaw. whew I am so glad I remembered.
Ok, I'm going to log off. I am still in quite a bit of pain.
I'll post again soon and this time it won't be about my teeth. Much love to all.
Lisa - we love to hear about ANYTHING that is going on in your life!! please don't hold back
I am so glad the problem teeth are taken care of, oh what agony dental pain is! the warm salt water is yuck but it is sooo healing. I hope so much your pain is lessening by the hour Boooo to the contractor who hasn't called you back! or maybe it's because he is so talented everyone wants his work. Hopefully he will contact you today.
Yay for remembering to take the turkey out to defrost!
and thank you, yes I am gonna enjoy my two days off!
We are going to the in-law's for dinner tomorrow. The grandmother is a sweet kind considerate lady; but our daughter-in-law's mother is a first class weirdo I am not an alcoholic but I will need to pound down a beer or two in the car before we go into their house they don't offer drinks, it's not that they don't drink alcohol at all, there will be little celebration glasses of wine at the table, but I guess they don't need it the way I do to get through an afternoon with them
I realize i was trying to do with out my medication, Wellbutrin, for months now it is a reasonable price, $90 for 3 months, $1 a day is worth it!! I don't know why I was rationing out my pills, I was only taking one whenever I thought of it, which was hardly ever. I ordered my 3 month's worth from Canada Drugs the other night and hopefully they will arrive sooner than later.
We have snow on the ground and it's probably here to stay. Maybe now I can accept that this is the way its gonna be for the next almost 5 months Living is so much easier when it's warm, you can just go outside with flipflops and no coat, don't have to worry about slipping or falling. Oh well.
WOW I almost lost the long post above!! All the time now, I log in, I write a post and hit submit, then it says I have to log in again, and my post disappears. I was lucky to be able to hit the Back button enough times to retrieve, copy and paste it.
Just saying Hi again I hope everyone had a good day yesterday. Back to work today and it was fairly active, people are in town for Thanksgiving and it helps that there is snow on the ground down here and up at the ski slopes.
I have to be at work by 7 a.m. tomorrow
We're having a very cold few days - a really thick white frost arrived Tuesday and hasn't melted yet - it looks like it's been snowing, but it's all frost. I haven't exercised much this week because of it, I'm in full hibernation mode at the moment! I need to buy a new winter jacket, as mine is still too small, maybe I can get out for a walk after that.
Holly, well done for your workouts! It's good that they have become pretty normal for you now. Hope work went alright for you!
This will be a small post. I'm still under the weather.
Went to the ER Friday. I'm on antibiotics to heal my infected gums. I'm also on Vicodin but honestly, it doesn't help all that much. I am better today, not in agony anymore. I can smash up my food and eat today.
I feel sick to my stomach tonight. I haven't eaten much today, it hurts to eat but I feel sick and weak. I've put a small baked potato in the microwave, I guess I have to eat. I feel like crap.
I am so sorry I have nothing positive to post lately. I just need to vent.
Jennifer told me tonight, in not a very nice way, that she's struggling financially with me here. I do not think she knows how much that hurts me. If I tell her, we'll just end up fighting.
I contacted a general contractor today, he's meeting me on Friday morning. I got some good info from him. I'm going to get him in there asap so I can get out of here.
Hello ladies freezing rain here, when I took Eddie the dog out, I went over to my car and saw it was encased in ice I was walking on grass so I hadn't noticed that any hard surface was coated in ice. Now I *think* I hear just regular rain out there, I hope to goodness the roads are OK when I leave at 10:30. I have heard the State trucks go by, I sure don't like what the salt and brine do to the underside of my car but I do want salt and sand on the road this morning! come on Spring
On more positive thinking, I have been working out *almost* 5 times a week, I had made that my goal over at the Chicks up for a Challenge, November Exercise Challenge thread. Maybe, MAYBE one day soon I'll want to curb my overeating, as I know I will not lose weight by just exercising.
Just wanted to check in. Sorry I've been MIA. Work and the holidays have got me strapped. Plus my computer bit the dust, so I now (finally) have a new laptop
I hope everyone is doing well, and your holiday season is going alright.
All is actually pretty good here. No complaints, other than gaining a few pounds thus far this Holiday season. Boooo
Oh Lisa!! first the infection in your mouth and now your heart is hurting many hugs for you
Thank you for your wonderful well wishes, Holly. You are always so sweet to every single one of girls.
I can't believe your car was iced up. We've had some frost but nothing like that.
I tend to over eat, too. I don't eat a ton but I definitely need to work on my portion control. It's hard to see food left in the pot or pan. I want to go back for seconds, if I don't I get hungry later in the evening. I need to get myself some healthy snacks when that happens. I love yogurt, I love bananas, I love cauliflower and carrots. I love cheese. i just need to stock up for the whole month, when I get paid on the 3rd.
Also, my next goal, besides potion control and healthy snacks, I need to start exercising. I looked up some great ones on sparkpeople. I would like to do beginner Yoga, beginning Pilates and stretching exercises.

Hi JesikaBeth,
Thanks for stopping in to see us. I am so glad things are going well there. Keep us updated.
Hello all. I was hoping to be in "ONEderland" by the end of the year, but I've plateaud with my weight loss and am still at 230 lbs. SO... my new goal is getting to ONEderland by my birthday -- April 26th. Think I can do it?
I am also re-joining weight watchers come the New Year.
JesikaBeth, I also think you can do your One-derland goal by your birthday in April! and congrats on your new laptop
Lisa, Yay to looking at some exercise options, they sound very good and moderate yet effective, even though I don't work hard enough to feel endorphins I am always glad that I attempted and finished a 30 minute session of something. And it is sure to help with flexibility and strength Hope things are less tense in your current living situation...glad you have your furry babies to comfort you at least.
HI to everyone else !
I just posted my last entry for the November Exercise Challenge, I didn't quite make my goal of 30 minutes of exercise 5X a week, but I did do 30 min. of exercise for 21 days out of 30 which I'm glad of.
It's a gloomy day here, we haven't seen the sun in a long time, like days and days. At least it isn't snowing I know I'm supposed to wish for snow for the local economy here but I secretly don't, haha.
The building project 30 feet away (super huge sh*t ugly monoliths) is still ongoing, they can't move earth around because now the ground is too cold, but the indoor work is hammering from 7 a.m. to quitting time, around 3:30 pm. I keep wishing for something horrible to happen, like a meteor falling directly on them yeah I have very unhealthy angry feelings every time I look over there, which is a million times a day.

Coop, I am so sorry, I am so sorry I missed posting to you. Missed you around here, lately.
I would like to get myself a coat too. i have my mom's long red one but I'd like to have one that fit me better or had a belt with it.
Boooo to the contractor who hasn't called you back! or maybe it's because he is so talented everyone wants his work. Hopefully he will contact you today.
