Morning all.
Annie – Big congrats on the new grandson, and congrats to the mom and dad.
Hope you’re busy cooing over the baby and spoiling the heck out of little J.
At the hospital where bf was, every time a baby is born there, they play a short portion of a lullaby over the PA. I was only there 60-90 min. and heard it 3-4 times!!
Happy – Sorry you’ve been having trouble with your phone and internet service. Gosh, wouldn’t expect problems with a land line phone… Re bf’s surgery – yes, it was at NWC, yes, it was laparoscopic surgery. He’s feeling much better, but of course didn’t sleep much at all in the hospital with the IV in his arm & all the monitors. Still not comfortable sleeping – can’t sleep on his side, too uncomfortable. But he’ll be feeling better soon enough. He’s on an antibiotic, of course. The nurse advised him to eat yogurt during the course of these strong drugs to help keep his gut happy, if you know what I mean. Enjoy yoga and the thrift shop today!
Michelle – Sounds like you’re busy at work. How was the training session?? Glad Santa’s paw is on the mend. What a nice walking path you have near your work!! Even if you just walk a bit and find a spot to eat your lunch, it’ll be really nice for you. Good job with the walking – your body told you to take it easy, so I guess you’ll scale it back next time?? Keep at it and you’ll get there. Do you have another one of those back classes this week?? Or was that a one-time thing? I’m actually not into “self-help” reading, and I don’t actually do all that much non-fiction reading, except for the newspaper. Once I finish my book club book, however, I will go back to the Patricia Cornwell book
Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper, in which modern day forensic investigation techniques were used to identify that serial killer.
Shad – Hello and safe travels today. I hope you enjoyed the light show!!
Ceejay – Yes, bf drove himself to the ER. I don’t know why he didn’t just ask our neighbor K for a ride…We only have one car, so I was the one who asked her for a ride to the hospital yesterday. She said the same thing to me – why didn’t he ask me for a ride?? I scolded bf for K, LOL, and I’m sure K will scold him herself the next time she sees him. I hope your sister’s okay. Is this the one that is in the medical field? Re the trainee – sounds like he’s not all that interested in doing his job. You’d think being new, he’d be more eager. So is it your weekend now? Do you have 3 days off? Enjoy!
Susie – Bummer your computer problem interfered with your workout. That’s another thing that can happen when you try to schedule workouts into the workday. That said, I do want to give it another go for myself before our building’s fitness center converts over to a full-service i.e., expensive, facility this summer.
Terra – I should do some clothes shopping, window or real – I’ve lost just enough weight that a lot of my shorts and capris don’t fit well anymore. I was waiting until I get to my final goal weight, but my progress has been non-existent for many months. Maybe the upcoming spring/summer will help motivate me!

Yesterday morning I did a wee bit of work, then got out to shovel some paths in the snow –one up to the house, a single wide path on the walk in front of the house and two down the driveway, It’s sort of chilly today, but hopefully some melting will happen. If not today, then tomorrow, when it's forecast to hit 52 degrees.
Our neighbor gave me a ride to the hospital to pick up bf – he wasn’t supposted to drive himself home. Before they let him go, we took a few spins around the hospital floor – bf was so stiff from being in the hospital bed & hooked up to an IV all night. On our walk, we met up with a therapy dog doing its rounds. This was a large 150-pound Great Dane, a female named Caly. Oh how sweet she was! Of course bf and I had to cuddle with her for a bit. How can anyone not feel better after spending time with a gentle giant like that??
After going home, bf cleaned up a bit and then we went to get lunch. After that, bf took a nap while I got his prescription filled and bought some groceries. After that I took doggy for a long walk. I did finally get around to finishing my remaining compliance session for work. Bleh. But now it's done, and by the deadline. Between the shoveling, the walk at the hospital and the dog walk (and staying up too late the night before), I was pretty wiped out by early evening, but I ended up going to bed at my usual time.
Nothing going on tonight. Trying to finish my book club book. According to the e-book, I’m 63.5% complete. Guess I’ll read some more at lunchtime.
Okay, back to work. I’ve got a wee bit of a lull before our group gets really busy again, I need to use this time wisely.
