Hey everyone.. im trying to attach a picture but not sure how to do it`..so here goes.. my tiny Daisy..(((hugs)))) rosey :wave:

Good Morning . . . :hug:

What a difference a day makes . . . this morning I didn't get up until after 9 am . . . still blaming it on the time change. Hope I balance out soon. :dizzy: To top things off, the Opthamologist just changed the surgery for my first eye to the 21st (next Wedensday). At least an earlier date doesn't screw up the rest of my finely balanced timetable for surgeries, but now I have to scramble to rearrange some other stuff that was in the works for next week. No visit from the FFM this week -- well actually she did manage to cart away 2/10 of a pound. ;) Better than going in the other direction, but really not anything to get too excited about.

Jeanne:hug: . . . So sorry, maybe it's just WWW . . . hang in there; if you've mostly been doing the good stuff, it will have to pay off with movement in the downward direction, eventually. You can do it, girl.

Glen :hug: . . . Take care of yourself, boy. Nothing worse than being sick when the weather is starting to get so much nicer. No resorting to a beer diet, now.

Rosey :hug: . . . I'm soooooo jealous, I want my puppy and I want it now. :tantrum: Sorry for the rant . . . Daisy is adorable.

Monet :hug:. . . Get some sleep, lady. Hope things look better in the morning. Also be sure to get as much as possible straightened out with your doctors while you still have that nice corporate coverage.

Well, I'd better get a move on . . . have a business associate dropping by in about an hour to pick my memory for a bit so I'd best get bathed and dressed . . . don't want to scare the poor guy. :D Hope everybody has a great day. Do as much moving and shaking as you possibly can and I'll see you all later . . . :carrot:

Good morning all,,on my way out the door for work,,urrrrr,,I am crabby every wed,,I need to just be glad to have a job here in Podock town,,not to may jobs here for sure and I have had the same on for all most 7 years,,but sometimes being a bartender can take your last nerve and fry it,,ha ha,,

My bs was 98 this morning,,had another low in the middle of the night 48 again,,,ate some glu-tabs and brought it up to the 70's,,but the strange thing is I only took my byetta shot last night,,never could get my bs up past 80 and so didn't take my pill with dinner,,and still had a low like that,,yesterday was just crazy with all the lows and my head just hurt,,,headache from **** with all the lows and then bringing it up with Glu-tabs,,,sure hope today is better,,,took my moring meds and shot so we will see,,,,thanks you all for being so thoughtful and the kind words of encouragement,,,,I needed it,,,

Rosey I love your little puppy and I am with Meowee I am jealous to,,,good thing we don't live by you or she might come up missing,,ha ha

Glen,,get better soon,,,I hate the flu,,,!

Monet,,I forgot you are on byetta,,,are you still losing at all ? Sorry to hear you are under so much stress,,,I can relate,,,haven't been there with family living with us for a while but remember it well,,its not that we don't love them to death,,it is just hard sometimes,,all together under the same roof,,you must be so stressed over the insurance thing,,I also might be losing mine,,I will know for sure in April,,,scary thing for sure,,,hang in there it has to get better,,,I am sending good thoughts your way!!!

Later all ,,hope i didn't miss anyone,,,,hi to all,,,have a wonderful day ! Jeanne

Quick fly past! I promised Meowee I'd post daily but have been remiss.

No weightloss and BGL has been good for the past five days. However, I got an 8.2(147.6) reading this morning which is not acceptable! I will be very careful today although I have a :hb: dinner tonight. Is it written somewhere in the Bible that you HAVE to eat :hb: ?

Monet, enjoy the wheel time in the mountains. It does one's soul so much good to be creative.

Meowee, I hope the convalescent furries improve quickly.

Jeanne, I hope you have recovered from your Wednesday "crabbies" and have a good day.

Rosey, Daisy is just adorable! If it weren't so darned far, I'd be up there to help you hug her.

Glenn, sorry you got the darned 'flu. Get well fast - spring is on the way!

:wave: at Rosetta. AC sure can be a pain!

Weigh in this morning,I'm down a pound. Need to stop picking between meals.

Rosey: What kind of dog is he?

We have two doags and two cats. Wouldn't be without them.
Get to see our granddaughters this weekend,can't wait.

Morning everyone..having a new puppy is like having a newborn in the house.. we tried to get her to sleep by herself.. well after hrs of howling i gave in.. she was so excited to be in my bed.. curled up and slept all night till 6 am and then wanted to play.. creations she is jack russel terrier, chit-zuu and pomerianian..but looks like jack russel and acts like one too..very fiesty and acts like big dog owning her terrain but she the size of a can of coke with legs lol..we are taking her to the vet today to get checked out as the place where she came from had 4 other litters of puppys and not the cleanest kennel.. want to make sure shes healthy and all..ruth a little cake is ok just not the whole cake(yup ive done that)mr ken hope u are on the mend.. monet make some beautiful pots today and renew your soul..jeanne hope you are back in the work mode..meowee hope your meeting went well and rosetta hello to you too.. was it you who said you love perfume? me too.. i feel naked without it:yes: well have alot to do today as we are having 25 for a b-day party on sat..good reason to clean house and i do need some motivation in that dept..id rather play with daisy..have great day everyone (((hugs))) rosey :wave:

Hi, all. It's still spring here but a little cooler, thank goodness. I didn't lose any weight at my weighin this week. Sigh. But at least I didn't gain. I have to lose 20 lbs in the next month to stay in the program. It's sooo hard. Seem to be on a more even keel so far this week.
Rosey - your puppy is darling! Remember her baby hood is much shorter than humans so she will settle in before you know it.
Monet - Hope your trip to the mountains is restful and productive.
Jeanne - Hope your blood sugar stabilizes.
Meowee - be careful with your stress. I had to re-schedule one of my eye surgeries at the last minute because I caught a cold.:hug:
Glen - :getwell:
Beware the Ides of March!:p

Well . . . here we are . . . another day has almost gone again. I'm feeling really lethargic today . . . hopefully just the tail end of the time-change-lag, coupled with the really overcast weather. In retrospect, today may look good if the SNOW being forecast for tomorrow materializes. :( At least my BGL readings have been pretty stable for the past couple of days. Hopefully I can keep them that way for the rest of the week. I think we all know they will probably get a bit 'iffy' once I actually get started with all this surgery that's lined up for the next few months. Hey, as I'm always telling everybody else . . . just have to do the best you can as much as you can. ;) BTW, yesterday's 'little' meeting lasted better than 3 hours and today he sent me 25 pages of stuff to review. Oh well, helps to keep me entertained, I guess.

:hug: JEANNE . . . Wednesday was always the toughest for me when I was working. For some reason Monday never bothered me, but Wednesday was just the middle of nowhere. Hope you get some stability in your BGL readings soon. I know how worrisome those lows can get.

:hug: MONET . . . Unless the espresso is usually loaded with sugar, I don't see how it could have too much impact. Just remember the old saw about "everything in moderation". Hope you have a great day in the mountains; and that the good BGL pattern continues.

:hug: RUTH . . . Absolutely not acceptable. What were you doing yesterday that you didn't tell us about? As Rosey said, just a little piece of cake tonight. Right? Right? You'll soon be back on track, girl.

:hug: JUDY . . . Congrats on the loss, girl. How right you are . . . It's amazing how many calories we can 'pick' when left to our own devices. Anyway, you know what you have to do.

:hug: ROSEY . . . Definitely know who's in charge at your house, right now, don't we? It's amazing how fast they get us wrapped around their little paws, isn't it? She definitely looks like the Jack Russell part is winning out. Hope the vet gives her a clean bill of health.

:hug: ROSETTA . . . So sorry your weight is stuck; but definitely better than a gain. You can do it, girl. Just buckle down for the month and you will amaze yourself.

Hope you are feeling better soon, Glen . . . the flu is the worst thing. :(

Okay gang . . . must try and get a couple of constructive things done with what is left of the afternoon. You all keep moving and shaking and doing the very best you can. See you soon . . . :carrot:

Um.....Meowee, I just went upstairs to change for dinner and noticed my evening pill box still had pills in Wednesday. Duh! I guess I forget my pills last night. I think I need a brain transplant. They are now on the bedside table in front of the clock!
