Good morning All. Coffees on.

[Kyler R.]

Good Morning. So I barely slept last night. Instead I read books. And I'm back at school. Which really doesn't make me that happy. But it's better than being at home so that's a benefit.

[ShawnaLeigh]

My positive wave of euphoria just keeps going.  I had an amazing weekend and the final tally was 5 friends and my two children all being super supportive and accepting.

I also hit "send" to the Director to our division I work for.  I have been waiting for an email reply all morning chewing my nails.

He called me with a few minutes ago the had same extremely supportive attitude and he is very driven to make sure we inform everyone at my comfort level and then he wants to set up meetings with my hospitals to do the same.   With me!  I am blown away.  The Director!  That's like 3 levels above my supervisor.

Though I do feel very special I shouldn't be all that surprised as I knew him from high school.  LOL

So although my Monday is beating me up at maximum work overload my mood is still riding Cloud 9.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Fantastic news Shawna! I'm glad (almost) everybody in your life is being supportive! This is hard enough to do without people you care about coming down on you.

 

All I did today was three and a half-hours in the gym, chiropractor and a trip to the pharmacy to tell them that I don't need my Estridiol renewed right now because I can't have any for five more weeks. I'm thinking about lunch, then I'm going to write until it's time to talk to my therapist.

 

Nothing to see here. Move along.

 

Hugs!

Fantastic news Shawna! So happy for you.

[KymmieL]

Just got back from my recert for my c-pap machine at VA. Went in all girl mode, Sweater dress, leggings, purse. This was my first time in girl mode in the primary doctor waiting area. (meaning a lot of people. I did get some looks but I just did my thing and waited to be called. No worries. 

 

I was able to get out and home  and changed before my youngest got home from work. He would surely blab to my wife.

Good morning 

 

I just made coffee.  It rained again last night signaling the impending cold front.  We’ve had 70s for the last few days, but that’s done for a while. 
 

My wife and I have been doing water aerobics a couple times a week.  It’s helping here knee loosen up finally and it’s good for me too.

 

enjoy your day.

Good Morning, on my 2nd cup already, the snow turned to rain overnight, the air is cool and moist now. My skin can feel the difference. This time of year, I use way more moisturizer, love this lavender hand creme 

 

Have a nice day

The mix of snow and rain is ending here but my electrology appointment was moved since she had a number of cancellations and called it a day.  I'm at the point its just touch up anyway.  Soon I'll go out and fill the bird feeders with seed as they look empty.

Oh yea another crap-tacular commute this AM. Big snow storm here in our area.  Again....

I lived.

Not much death and destruction happens at 10mph.  LOL

I had coffee and my audio book so I was slow and easy.

But I got to tell you I am getting tired of white knuckle driving conditions.  I'm not worried about myself as much as I am the idiots who have 4WD and think they can do interstate speeds on back roads. .

I agree, and I'll add those that think "All Season" tires are the answer for New England weather.  We've run Nokian Hakkapeliitta winter tires from Finland for many years.  Love them.  

[Rachel76]

I have 4 wheel drive and all season radials and make sure to go slower in bad weather like this. Sure I can get going better but ice is ice and still slippery no matter what. On the flip side I hurt my back a couple weeks ago on New Year’s Eve and it has been hurting since. Coffee is on and I’m relaxing before work.

[Jani]

Take care! 

[KymmieL]

My second day off. had to return something to the store and of course pick up peanut butter. Can't live with out it. LOL

 

Set up my appointment with the endocrinologist today. Mar 10 at the Denver VA. VA is even springing for a room for me to stay and head home the next day. So hope all goes well.

Neat! Congrats Kymmie! Just repeat after me, "This is fine. Everything is fine." Best of luck!

 

Hugs!

I do remember having to be out in all weathers with work. One issue I found with these people who drive 4WD cars is that when going through floodwater slow but determined it was infuriating to have a 4WD come the other way without slowing down and potentially flooding my engine with their bow wave.

 

As Rachel said - Ice is ice. I remember years ago deliberately travelling on the empty snowcovered path (sidewalk) (technically illegal but safer) at the side of a country road which was covered with black ice on a trials bike. Even with one of those ice is still tricky but a layer of snow, if not too thick,  is no problem.

 

Latter days in the car it is more of thinking what silly things others would do. It is a little un-nerving to travel down a back road covered in snow though and see a trail of cars in the hedge bottom, wondering if you are next.

Good morning everyone. A belated Happy New Year to you all. I’m back from a bit of an absence. Was dealing with a bit of stuff in my life and had shut myself out of pretty much everything  for awhile. After a friend reached out and some good chats with my therapist, I’m feeling much better. Started hormones 3 days ago, yay!  Also have had some good conversation with my wife, I think I’ve got my feet back underneath me and keep stepping forward again. So it’s Friday now, looking forward to my morning tea shortly and the end of the work week for me later this evening. 
 

Have a great day! Stay safe for those of you having to go out in bad weather.

Sorry to hear about your sister @AdriannaB.   I hope she recovers well.
