Hey, all. Lucky & I just got home from the beach. I had a great time. I went alone again, but I am used to it. I just walk myself in to whatever restaurant, bar, show that I want to go to and don't care. I dreaded coming back. Not doing well with food, but moving much more. Spending time reading & in the sun, my usual routine. I have several of the tests & appts set up for this summer for the sleeve surgery. Sometimes I am all for it 'I can't do it', and other times I am like 'go back to WW & hit the gym and do what you can at the gym'...so I've just been trying to do lots of soul searching this summer. I adopted another dog from the shelter, I can't remember if I told you guys or not. He's 6+, a hound mix (body of a boxer with a beagle head), and has definitely lived up to the name I gave him - Jesse James - he's kept me busy, breaking collars, slipping collars, chewing tie out lines, getting his tie out wrapped around trees down the bank of the creek, etc etc. My dad has been having good & bad days. My brother is busy with his ball camps, etc. He was rehired so he will be tenured this school year.
Shekirk - I've missed ya. Congrats on the anniversary. 21st would have been mine. Diet - the sleeve is supposed to be in the middle - it is not the band, but not as drastic as the bypass. I am seriously getting ready for it, doing the appts, but I am still torn about it...but I am too young to hurt like this all the time & I am so worried about my mobility. I walk like I am 90! Maybe one day you can meet Lucky & me at the beach or somewhere in the southeast.
Baba - I've missed ya. Sounds like you are keeping focused & moving this turtle train ahead. I read a great book The Girl with the Dragon Tatto. I am going to read the series. I also am going to start researching the Hatfields/McCoys - it is a local family feud, but Kevin Costner did a miniseries on the History Channel last month - and it has really got me curious, I may even have a family tie with them.
Bog - I would say your hormones are going crazy...so sorry, but it will all be worth it when the baby gets here. Baby names? Baby room colors/theme?
Kay - I hear ya on the computer trouble. I pay way too much for the internet & cell service I get here...I've complained and complained. I think I may switch companies.
AJ, Sandille, Whimsy, MVS, and all else - Hope all is well. Take care.
Have a great rest of the week & weekend. Keep the turtle train moving! Good luck & take care!
