  • WOW its February, these months are surely sneaking up on me fast.

    How is everyone?

    I'm ok... work is crazy and will be for a few years, we have to "shine" and hold our own or we're out !! lol Can't complain tho, things are really good !!
  • life just sucks sometimes....i wish I wanted to take my meds.
  • Momof4, go take your meds! It can only make things better.

    Sleet/snow is falling here. Tomorrow will be day 3 of 6am shifts. After work I have a test, that is if they don't close the college. Eating and working out is going ok. Gotta get to bed.
  • i know that they will help but im in that why even bother who cares curl up and die funk....(not suicidal).....just blah there is so much going on and I am just trying to make it thru...not trying to be a super woman just barely trying to keep my head above water and get thru!!
  • Go take your meds anyway. I get like that too, and it only makes things worse if I actually stop them.

    Tuffy's appetite was good this morning. She is too weak to walk, so we take her to the litterbox and bring her food and water. Hubby didn't want to take her to the vet again, at first, because we've already spent over $600, and she seemed like she wasn't going to last much longer. But since she's getting stronger now, if she makes it till Friday we'll take her back and get her on anti-seizure meds. She has not had a seizure since Sunday. Since the vet thinks she might have a brain tumor, hubby could be right about her time being near.
  • LBF-- I am sorry to hear about your cat . I had to put a cat to sleep a few years ago due to Cancer. I spent a small fortune on her with 2 Cancer surgeries. I miss her dearly , but the day after she was put to sleep my mom's co-worker found an adorable kitten hiding underneath her car leaving for a lunch break . That cat , Darby , has been a member of the family now .
  • hi everyone, I see we continued on the Jan. thread for a couple days into Feb.
    momof4!!!

    and yay for Tuffy for hanging in there.

    I hope everyone is doing as well as they can be. The days are getting lighter earlier and staying lighter longer, that is always a wonderful thing.
  • yeah i have sooo much going on I didnt realize it was Feb.....

    getting ready to leave for the weekened!!
  • I had to put my Dear Pet Felix to sleep in December. I think that added to my Holiday eating! I'm doing better now & ready to get the weight off!

    Hang in ther momoF4!
  • Tuffy's still hanging on. Sorry to hear about Darby's predecessor, and Felix.
  • llmw -- sorry to hear about your kitty -- I have a 13 year old mixed Shepherd /Retriever who is my absolute buddy -- I hate the fact that he is getting older and older ... I do walk him for 3 blocks every morning and I think that is helping him ---

    ahh and stress does lead to extra eating .... well it does for me --
    when I am calmer , I don't eat as much but when my real job is stressful , ALL I WANT to do is EAT !! ugh
  • Tuffy goes to the vet tomorrow morning. Will keep everyone posted.


  • Hi Ladies, hope everyone is doing ok. Been really busy here at work, new boss, new rules, new company.. but I'm blessed, i still have my job. Thats about it for me.

    Love yah !!

  • Just back from the vet. Good news!! Tuffy does NOT have a brain tumor. She has extremely high blood pressure, which could explain everything, and which is far more easily treatable.
  • Tuffy! Sounds like she may be on the road to recovery now that you know the real problem. I'm so glad for you Lovebirds.

    I was off today and watched it snow for hours. Unfortunately it is now raining/sleeting instead. It's supposed to go back to snow during the day tomorrow while I'm at work. The rain is keeping us from getting completely buried I guess.

    Not much news here. I made an A on my anatomy test. Yay. I have still been eating well and exercising. I'm so astonished and grateful for this I can't tell you. I don't know why I'm sticking to things now but I'm not complaining. Gonna get to bed now since I have to get up so early.

    Hope you all have a great weekend.
