    Waaaaaaaaaaaaaah, I sit on my a@@ in the car for my 2 hour commute and then at work for 8 and then of course when I come home I'm exhausted.....

    I love the sound of that book! I'll have to look it up when I get off my a@@.

    I have stopped drinking completely since my surgery so I account for the pant sizes for that. But where the heck are the pounds? I'm thinking my middle...hmmmmm.

    ARNIE*

    I just wanted to pop in and say thank you for your help yesterday.  Your suggestion was right on with my relative wizard.  The magic trick was to press ctrl*alt*delete until the task manager box came up.  It did and after a couple clicks I was back in action.

    Then I did a Norton check.  All clear.

    I also want to wish you all the best and home comforts while going thru chemo. 

    *

    Barbe.  Wishing you a free and easy day of it.  I haven't read back but caught a glimpse of a surgery?!   And a wedding!   We are in the throws of planning a wedding here too. 

    MOM.  Cannot see your picture.

    Housework.  Time to make bed.  It's sunny but cold this morning. Winds knocked down trees all around the town yesterday.  I heard siren after siren going off yesterday.

    AHEM. I folded AND put away two small laundry baskets of socks and underwear. Ta da! Only because I am bored and aren't allowed to drive till tomorrow!

    California.   Crazy Mother Nature is messing our globe up.  Ice flows melting.  East coast and central states going thru devastating storms and floods. 

    Our sunshine state needs rain big time.  Water rationing on the agenda again and even if we make our table limit the news is we will still have a rate hike in our water bill. 

    I haven't made the bed yet but forget the bed I'm on my way out to mow the lawns. 

    BARBE.  Pamper yourself today.  

    R&R today for you.

    I went to IRS office, 2 banks, Walmart and Harmon's for skin/body care items for dd, and cleaned breakfast dishes. I am especially tired and especially uncomfortable/painful last few days (weather related pain I think). Since I have done somethings today and yesterday, I think I will take extra long nap this afternoon. Dinner is easy crockpot some thing. Tomorrow I will need to clean ds's room for my sister who is coming to visit.

    Please don't hit me but....I am down about 30 some lbs,  not really sure what I've done or not done; do have to say it is nice to fit into clothes comfortably again.

    Hope everyone is safe, and healing

    Its not bad, I'm eating lots of veggies, fruits, rice, beans, etc (ocassional junk food -- but am finding that I do not tolerate chips, dips, pizza, fried things, etc very well gets ugly). But I did all that before. Doc is not concerned, blood work is good etc. Frustrated with lack of ability to be as active as I had been. Oh well , there is always something.

    Barbe- how are you feeling today? Thoughts are with you, please be gentle with your self and relax.

    EWB, I'm doing fine, just pi$$ed at the weight gain. I think I have to cut down on protein. I've tried a no-carb high protein diet and my brother lost 75 pounds, but  it's obviously not working for me. I don't eat a lot of carbs normally, I don't care for them really (I know, I'm lucky). Maybe that's the trick. You have to eat what you don't like so you don't eat as much! HUH! I think I just figured it all out! Y'all can follow my diet for no extra fees and the bill will NOT be in the mail!

    Keep up the good work EWB, your doctor must be very proud of you. I should lose at least 30 if not 50 pounds.....sigh.

    Barbe. Seriously find that 'book-on-CD' that I mentioned and listen to it as you drive back and forth to work..... you'll have it listened to in about a week.

    Visualize the Thinner Peace.

    Glad to see you are back and doing well......but back to work already ??????  won't work give you some time off.    Well if not WE all give you the next week off of chores, that means doing absolutley nothing around the house, not even your one thing.

    Congrats on losing weight.  I guess to do that I would have to actually get the motivation to exercise( I think that is a four letter work)

    Barb - glad you are going well.  I think I eat all your extra carbs.  I could live on them!  I don't but I could!!

    Lot's of laundry today.  I did a couple hours of yard work too.  It's so nice to be outside.  It's about 50 but very windy today.  Better than 30 and windy!!  I think we turned the corner!

    Don't count on it Linda. We are chilly and windy here in Kentucky today and I think it usually heads your way soon after.

    Since the cyber cleaning didn't work, I actually had to get busy and do several loads of laundry  myself. Woke up at 3am again so took that opportunity to get the bathroom cleaned up. Now I've set my goal on getting the bedroom back in shape. (Didn't I just go through this?) Anyway last night hubby was trying to figure out how he could spend extra time helping me keep up with the house work since I've been so tired lately and I realized he has had to do so much already that it gave me the umphhh to try harder. So now I'm gonna tackle the bedroom and get it done. Will check back in later.

    You're right Mom, maybe the winds will change!

    I loaded, started and emptied the dishwasher and washed the kitchen floor.  Off to the bus stop soon.
