PS) didn't make it to WI on Friday...and I completely blew it while I was off--didn't even journal anything BUT started back OP this morning.

Aw TWIDDLE...thanks for thinking of me! Didn't get the message though. I taped it and was pizzed at MTV for cutting away during Prayer! GRRRR :mad: I wasn't home when that came on TV--glad I taped it! It's My Life is my FAVORITE Jovi tune! What did you think of Have A Nice Day? Everyone said it ROCKS...I haven't heard it yet--been trying to access it from AOL but so far can't! :( It's the title track from their new album!

OMG, I seriously HATE IT when I'm away from here for a bit....people are driving me nuts b/c I wasn't here to take their calls! ACK! :sp: :sp: :sp: I've been working on my June monthly report now for over a freaking hour! UGH! :stress: :stress: :stress:

Hello again, I know how you feel CHICKIE...I'm having the same situation here at work. It seems I can't take off either or else nothing gets ship and nothing that comes in gets to the correct person. :dizzy: It's getting crazy around here so I'll be back later.

TWIDDLE - I guess we are not meeting till next Monday. That's fine, it's kinda hard for me also.

Where is everybody? VIVA is going to say we are lost without her; Do we want that...nooooooooooo!!

Just got back from lunch and I found out that I'm going to need a passport to travel with DH...UGH, more money spent. I didn't need one before; but with this terrorist out there ruining everything now I do. :mad:

I hope everyone had a good lunch, I had a salad and some beef stew. :T

Talk to you later :flow2:

HAVE A SAFE AND WONDERFUL EVENING!! :wave:

Morning Chickies! :wave: I am sooooo tired today! :tired: :tired: :tired: This coming back to work thing after being off like I was really BLOWS! :mad:


Well, got my results back. X-rays show no torn cartiledge, rather, I have bone spurs on my knee cap and in and around my knee. Both knees show moderate deterioration as well. There's some other stuff but I don't understand it--am going to call the doc tomorrow to schedule an appt. to find out the next step.

Also got my bloodwork back--I totally don't get any of the 5 pages of results other than several things came back elevated. He told me last week my blood is thicker than normal (I'm thinking so WTF does that mean? :shrug: :shrug: ) but couldn't tell me what we can do about it b/c at that time not all the results were back....I plan on having him explain that to me as well. My potassium is low but not out of range. There are some other things too but I have no clue what to make of it. Mom (used to be a nurse) says it may be just as simple as switching up my vitimins. My red blood cells are elevated but thank the Lord above that my white blood cell count is normal. If it weren't then I'd be in some serious trouble. My Gram passed away from what my mom thought it might be! :yikes:

So, that's where I'm at right now. Still in some pain but it's tolerable for now. This weather isn't helping. I also plan on asking doc what he recommends I can do at the gym. I haven't exercised for over a week and a half now and I'm feeling like a big blob. I was so upset last week with my knee that I ended up going off the plan. Oh my....and just when I was doing so well too. I even caved this morning and got an XL turbo iced coffee with cream and sugar from DD. Sigh. I WI on Friday so I'm just trying to hang in there til I get to WI and back on track. This is so hard....and I feel miserable.

Sorry for dumping all this...but I had to get it out. My dad says they can go in orthoscopically and take the spurs off--he had spurs on the same knee they eventually had to replace. GREAT. This is what I don't need right now. This is also the result of being so morbidly obese for so many years....I'm now paying the price with my knees. Sometimes I wish I could get the message out there especially to young people that this is what can happen if you don't take care of yourself!

Ok, I'm done my pity party now! Again, sorry for this. I will try and get on as much as I can...have 2 kids here working and they dumped them on me ALL DAY. I do have work for them but not a days worth. I told them to take their time but do it right and everything would be cool. I obviously can't go running after them to check!

Have a good one!

HOLA CHICAS, :wave:

Not much to say this morning other than I'm depressed and feel like I just can't loose this weight. I went back and figured out how long I have been in the 173 - 184 range...10 FREAKIN weeks. So I'll just bury myself in work today and see if I can forget that I am never getting any lower. I am excersising, walking, drinking my water and eating within my pts. by the time the week is done I have at least 5 - 10 flex pts left. This week I indulged in the BBQ but I have been to the gym on Saturday, Sunday, yesterday I walked and today I'm going to the gym again and I still have 5 flex pts left for the week, plus I didn't even use all my AP earn on Saturday and yesterday. So why do I feel so bloated and fat. And TOM is not due for another week and half.

OKAY, SORRY done and over with. Will leave now to go to work and not annoy anyone today. Except maybe DH who I have been arguing with since yesterday.

BBL :(

Good morning, chickies!! :wave:

How's everyone doing this fine morning? :D

Yesterday, I bought all the stuff to clean and stain the deck. Wanted to clean it last night and stain it on Saturday. In case you didn't notice, it rained last night. And it's going to rain all day Friday, which means it won't be dry enough to do on Saturday. UGH! :mad:

Did get some other stuff done around the house. Finally hung the banister for the stairs, that we've had since Christmas. And hung up some artwork that we bought in Boston. :cp:

Not too much else going on 'round here.

SPILLIE - Bummer about the passport, but I'm not surprised. Sucks that it's another expense for you.

ROCKER - Hope your knee feels better, and your x-ray results are available soon.

BROOK - Bite your tongue!! :p

Well, I guess that's it for me for now. Hope you all have a fabuspectacular day!

You gals are boring anymore!!

HAVE A GREAT AND WONDERFUL EVENING! :sunny:

Good morning, good morning!!!

How are my lovely ladies this morning??

Ugh...can you believe this cr*p in London? Makes me soooo uneasy, once again. :(

BROOK - I was stunned that London beat out Paris. I just got my pics last night (finally!!) and have a ton of pictures in Paris with the Paris 2012 logo all over the place, that they created for the Olympics. Did you hear that Philly is contemplating bidding on 2024? Interesting... :yikes:

ROCKER - Sorry to hear about your knee. I guess you don't know this yet, but is surgery the next step? Keep us posted - we'll come visit you in the hospital!!! :balloons:

SPILLIE - You're boring too. :devil:

Will this :rain: ever stop?!?!?!

That's all for now. :blah:

Oh yeah...I lost a pound at WI!!

HOLA CHICAS, :flow2:

I hope everyone's evening went well, cause mine s*cked big time. I messed up my :comp: at home so now I don't have one. Somehow :dunno: I erased a whole bunch of stuff that is needed to run the puter... :dizzy: Anyway, I'm going to talk to the IT guys here at work to see if they can help. SHUDDUP TWIDDLE!! :sssh:

TWIDDLE :bravo: on the lose!!

BROOKLYNN you need to stop it with the VIVA stuff already...no one but you is missing her.

CHICKIE, hope you're feeling better. :(

VIVA, hope you're having fun!! :woo:

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL AND BLESSED DAY AND STAY DRY!! :rain:
