Curses! Foiled again! Who said that in some movie? Harry got up for a pee and is back in dreamland but I do have the meds set up.
Hershey HAS to go on South Beach! She is gaining instead of losing and I just found out why! I feed both dogs at about 4:30 BUT Harry has been giving Hershey another supper at 6 when I am upstairs checking my email before dinner! I think he has been doing this consistently since he had his stroke early in September. Oy! Hershey, who is part pig, would eat seven suppers if you gave them to her. Lucy refuses her second supper so H. has been putting the food back into the bag! I have to solve this problem. Maybe a timelock on the cupboard?
I think these dull rainy days are giving me a minor case of SAD. I'm thinking of getting a light thingie. Does anyone have suggestions? I was pretty *****y with Harry yesterday and that could be it although I'm still not feeling so hot in the nether regions.
My pal Lorraine is coming over for coffee this morning so I'd better get something for dinner thrown in the crockpot so I appear organized - like I could fool HER! I was going to ask her to help me with a tidying job but really feel like just a chat. Today HAS to be a better day than yesterday!
As my Mother would say "Have you ever considered pulling yourself together and getting on with it?"
Ellis! Say it isn't true! It can't snow yet! My neighbour put on my kitchen storm windows yesterday WITHOUT washing them and I need to clean them so it can't snow! "Thanks very much but would you mind taking them down again so I can wash them?"
As you can tell yesterday was a crappy day.
Good morning beach babes...I have been up forever this morning...I am not getting my regular sleep time in. I hate waking up in the wee hours...everything seems so lonely. How do you do it Ruth???...or is it the time difference?? Cards today....I am going to go lay down awhile and see if I don't perk up. later.....

Oh, Ruthie... so sorry you're feeling SAD. Let me know if I can do anything for you.
I think those light thingys are supposed to be very good.
Maybe you need some nice new rubber boots or something. Something that will cheer you slightly when you have to go outside. Yellow boots.
Or a new coat. Gloves. A scarf.
crap. I'm just looking out the window here, and it really IS snowing. Unless I'm still asleep and dreaming.
You have a really good visit with Lorraine, and then start thinking of things you can do to make YOU happy, Ruth. Maybe make a list. love and hugs...
Mornin ladies! It's a muggy one already here in Florida. It hasn't rained since I've been here. Been tryin to go for morning walks, but just haven't had the energy lately. Too darn stressed to do anything.
I've been gone for the past 3 weeks visiting my son and his
family in north Texas. I had such a wonderful time with my two
little grandkids...did all the neat Mamo things there are to do.
I did crafts with them, sewed Halloween costumes, painted Jack-
o-lanterns, and gave lots of hugs! I had a great time......
but now it's time to get my back into gear. I ended
up cooking all their favorite foods (and sampling myself) and
really got off my plan. That's OK though, because I know what I
need to do now!
I really missed all of you while I was gone. My son's computer was off the whole time, and I couldn't check in until now.
Ruth, I hope you feel perkier soon. Try doing something nice for yourself today. Take a warm bubble bath!
Ellis.....snow so early???? It's going to be sunny and 80 here today! Come on down for a visit y'all!!!

Ruth~~You must be reading my mind: scary isn't it?
For several years, since moving to GA from CA, I have felt that i suffer from SAD each winter. Not that it keeps me from functioning through life but I find myself more moody, less likely to want to socialize, sleep late and want to take naps, and the biggest thing is my lack of motivation.
Just last week I was checking into the light boxes online because I know that I feel so much better when the sun is shining, and that I completely DRAG MY A$$ if it's dark and dreary outside.
My other thought was to go to the tanning salon: this way I could get a tan AND get some UVA lite, which might help.
Any thought or experiences about this? I am also reading about this at the Depression and Weight Loss threads.
cool here in L.A. been so busy I can't seem to focus on one thing. too many things going on!!!
I was so tired the other night I feel asleep with my head resting in my hand, apparently I did not move and slept most of the night like that and I woke up not able to move my thumb! I think that I may have a minor sprain but it really hurts!!!! (I feel really stupid!!!!)
I am finishing my coffee and then off to work, not been OP at all and need to get focused again....
It has been snowing here, off and on for the past 5 days!!!! It is so dreary out and when the weather is like that for days on end, it does tend to kill motivation for just about anybody. The sun is SUPPOSED to find it's way out this afternoon. I sure hope so, because I really hate this.

I love this! Your Mom was smart Ruth.
Well, I got through the first week of Phase1 and lost 7 pounds. Started week 2 yesterday. So far so good. For some reason, I found yesterday to be the hardest day.
Just Chat - Tuesday, November 4
