Good Morning, I was up early at 4:15 to take my son and DIL to the airport, more tears form this mom!  Then he texted me they were still sitting in security and thought his plane would make him miss his connection.  Didn't get an explanation as to why.    But now he said they made it and are on their way home.   He had to connect in Detroit but they ran and got on and the bags made it too!   I think everyone will need naps today, although I am the worlds worst napper.   Can't nap to save my soul!     I just did the Bike watching a movie, and need to clean up some more around here and then I"m not doing anything.  I'm not used to eating off schedule and different foods, running around like we have been doing so I"m so looking forward to doing nothing I don't want to do.

Hoping everyone has a good week ahead!

Foxxie, My 600 Lb. Life is disturbing indeed. I can't imagine how one allows their weight to get so extremely out of hand. I can't watch that show any longer. It's so sad.

Bopper, it will feel lonely with the kids gone. I know you'll do your best to keep your mind off it by spending time with Logan, going for walks, etc.

The library was closed two days, but online service contunued, of course, so today there was a backlog of book requests, etc., to deal with. It will take a couple of days to dig out from the work load....Then next week we'll do it all again with the New Year holidays. I worked hard today, but the time passed quickly. I'm glad I'm off tomorrow, others will deal with it, and maybe things will be back to normal when I go back on Thurs.

Hi everyone!  House seems so quiet with them gone...their dogs are a handful...lol!  We had such a good time, laughed until we cried on more than one occasion...one time was in the nice restaurant, we couldn't stop.  They both stil have/had that darn cold though and had long days back to work yesterday.

I'm full of hives again...took the antihistamine this morning that gives me so much pain in my joints and muscles.  Have them on my eyelids and partly in my eyes...drives me crazy.  Knees, elbow, butt cheeks, ears...please don't let 2017 start off like this!  And DH hurt his back again looking under the hood of my dil's car. 

I didn't sit down yesterday until 4:30 I think!  Did an early work-out(4:50) with my group, walked with Lucy, got my big tree down(it's flocked so makes a mess, the rest is easier) and cleaned up and put away, grocery shopping to Walmart(bad, but not as crazy as I expected it), post office...oh, and we think Kit has a UTI again so back to the vet with her.  Another $240...not a lot of bad cells in her urine so we'll try the antibiotics and if she doesn't seem to act better, they'll look closer at her kidneys. 

My gf came over Monday after the kids left(we invited her Christmas day since her husband is deployed but she took a pass since the kids were sick...haha) and gave Kit and Lucy a gift.  Well, she died laughing at Lucy, she kept taking Kit's from her but still wanted hers....would steal Kit's and lay on it so she couldn't get it, while chewing on her own...what can I say, she's naughty!  Nothing we don't already know!

Forgot to say...It really bothers me on that 600-lb life that they don't include therapy as part of the process.  Nothing is going to change until they get to the root of the problem(and they all have some deep-seated trauma from childhood) and work on that as well.  It's like putting a band-aid on a gushing wound.  Some of them have made me cry, you can see how deeply wounded and miserable they are...wish they could all get the help they need.  It is very sad. 

Cater...are you okay??  Would love to hear from you.  MickD...hope you and your son are well...and Laura, still hitting it hard? 

Also Tony...remember she was from CT I think...or MA??  And Canine...elated...candlequeen...check-in!  

bopper...did the kids get in safely?

Mssfoxxie...sounds like you're back at it...hope the pie is gone!

nomless...hopefully that mess will be gone by the time you get back!  Are you still really liking the job and the people you work with?

Morning, I'm not shopping today, just decided I wanted a day where I don't have to go anywhere.  I"m not used to all the running we have been doing the last few days.  I do have a turkey carcass so am making another pot of soup.    Will probably do the treadmill/bike and some BodyGym today.  Our neighborhood is so icy, when all the snow was melting on the road it turned to slush and they didn't plow so it's icy ruts and not good to walk on because you have to go so slow.      I'll probably take down my Christma stuff next week.  I like to leave it up until after the NY and I only have a small 4 ft. tree so it isn't in the way or anything.  

Iluvlucy sorry to hear your once again dealing with the hives and the aches in your joints, that wears on you heavily I know and I hope you feel better today.   Lucy is a character she isn't a "sharer"  Hahaha.    Hope the kids get over their colds too.  So much stuff going around, another reason I am not too excited to go shopping in town!  

My son and DIL made it safely home after their plane was late leaving but they made their connection.   Miss them already but had a great time.

I haven't watched the 600 lb life.  I've seen it listed but haven't watched. 

Nomess is Biggest Loser not on anymore?  I haven't seen anything about it.  I know the format change maybe didn't help.  It wasn't like it used to be for sure.

I am sick of seeing the Simply Fit board commerical...they are running it to death!  Every 10 mintes I see it....Yes my TV is on all day  Hahah   background noise while I do other stuff.  

I have my duraflame on now, it's chilly in the house.  I like this new one though better than mine but don't have room for another one.    I like the fake brick inside on the back and the glass is different than mine.  

I did get a Q gift card this year, first time "ever"  my family does not like the Q!   Have to decide what I want or wait for Spring/Summer stuff.

Well I better get moving, have a great day!

@Iluvlucy  Still at it.  I've been fighting an infection for over a week so I'm not at my best.  I felt it yesterday after Pound and Power even though I didn't miss any regular workouts over the holidays so I guess I'm just run down a bit physically and I know I'm stressed out.   

Glad to see everyone is still in routine too and it sounds like you all had a wonderful holiday with your families.  

[Iluvlucy]

Good to see you Laura!  I hope your infection is on the mend...my dil had a UTI on top of the cold. 

I'm a mess...no other way to put it.  Been up since 2:20...nauseous, dizzy, covered in hives, and itching like crazy.  I haven't been this bad since we lived in Va Beach.  Thought we may be going to the ER at one point.  Took some Prednisone...on top of Benedryl and Zantac at 2:30, so hopefully that will at least calm them down some. 

Glad I took all my decorations down yesterday and cleaned...still have front porch but that's easy.  I did some Piyo...whoa, gotta get back into that!  I felt so stiff/tight and my wrists were killing me, some could be from this flare too.  Even standing on my head hurt my head!  Jogged/power-walked 3 with Lucy then did a long one with my gf. 

Hope everyone else is doing better.

It's that time of year again...as you may recall, for the past couple of years(or 5 ) at this time of the year, I'm researching and searching for rowing machines.  I get overwhelmed and end up with nothing.

If anyone happens to come across any good sales on some looking at fliers or online ads, could you please share?  I think I'm going to stop over-thinking it and just take the plunge.

TIA!

Good morning, Everyone.  @Iluvlucy You might get overwhelmed again because January is all about health and fitness aid.  You might have to just pick one and hope for the best.

As I've said before, I wish that I could see several previous posts while I'm posting so that I can reference what was said and by whom.  My memory of recall is not the best.

Someone mentioned UTI.  I had that once and never again do I want it.  I was urinating every 20 minutes or so.  I had to have an emergency trip to my gyne.  Luckily it was in the summer when school (instructor assistant step above teacher assistant) was out because I couldn't have even made the 30 trip there.

Yesterday, I woke up with stomach cramps from eating so much sugar.....serves me right, lol.  At the last minute, I decided to go to my fitness center but I just walked.  Wasn't feeling up to much activity.  Now, I wake up to congestion and a scratchy threat whereas yesterday was just minor coughing that I shrugged off.  My husband was down with a cold for 3 days so I shouldn't be surprised.  So today, I'm going to just rest and drink liquids with the hope of being up and ready for movement tomorrow.

One of the ladies at the reception desk is retiring tomorrow and I bought a card that I'm going to put a little something in.  I know what it's like to get or not get acknowledgement of being appreciated.  There are two receptionists and they are the nicest people ever.  In fact, there's not a bad employee in the place.  They have the best attitudes in the world and with real smiles, not fake ones.

Hey all, we are almost out of the month!  Going fast!   Now bring on Spring right?  

I wasn't going to go to the grocery store but decided I should take advantage of the bare roads.  We have snow, not saying that but the roads are clear and dry so I got  few things.  Not my usual grocery day though.   I tood the trail with Logan, it's still terrible but I knew it was just like yesterday, no fresh snow to cover the icy ruts.  Add to it a dog pulling on his leash....but the fresh air was nice.

Iluvlucy I'm so sorry about your flare up, I can't even imagine what you are going through.  I feel so bad for you!   I hope and pray this passes soon!

Laura glad to see you, we've missed your face!

Nomless how is work going?

Foxxie I was a receptionist for 12 years and honestly saying I felt very under appreciated.  it's very nice you are acknowledged this with a lovely card and little something.   

Well guess I better check the dryer, have a great day!
