Soooo....PJTP.

It's Friday...and toward the end, and I'm leaving soon!

And, I'm freezing! Why, when it's over 100 outside, does management feel it's good to crank a/c to 60? There is a medium people....FIND IT.

At my work, if it's hot outside, it's freezing inside and, if it's freezing outside, it's hot inside.

Where I work, if it's hot outside, it's freezing inside. If it's freezing outside, it's freezing inside. I think I am starting to recognize a pattern.:tongue_smilie:

hi everyone. Hope you all have a great weekend no matter what you are doing.

enjoy the mac&cheese Luluc sounds good.

I had a bad day at work.:tongue_smilie: I actually was swearing and I don't swear often. I have to be extremely mad. which I was. we have a new person who kept yelling over and over for stuff. She wasn't listening when I would tell her I heard her and I would get her items working soon as I got everyone elses done. Then she kept putting sauces in the wrong buckets. I could see that if they weren't labeled! READ the darn things. were going to end up with a law suit if she doesn't watch what she is doing. people who are allergic get something out of the wrong bucket, yep right to court we go. So I had to keep running back and forth between the kitchen and cook area washing the buckets out. I really didn't have time to be doing that. One of our cooks kinda got onto her about yelling wanting her stuff. he told her I heard and had 6 other things working to stop yelling and blaming me for the food not getting out. She would holler some things that one of the other people hollerd so I would cook it 2 times!:frown::cursing::):cursing::Yawn:

I wasn't the only one mad as all get outs with her. She was told yesterday to waite and let me get things out. so the others that trained her yesterday was upset. O.K. that is my rant for the day.

PJTP: Writing from Ocean City, Maryland. My friend has been itching for a girl's weekend and on Tuesday she went and got us a room at a hotel on the beach for two days. I picked her up in DC and we drove here from there. LONG ride (6 hours from my house, with traffic), but her hubby made it nice for me. He gave me his car to drive (she can't drive a stick):

ohhhhh, sweet!!!

Yeah, I wouldn't be giving it back either!

~~~~~~~~~~

No way am I going to be able to catch up. I've been trying to read as the days go but haven't had time to post and sometimes couldn't focus good enough so just skipped getting on the computer altogether. I've been migraining a lot the last few days again. Tonight seems okay. Thank GOD!

The other night DH read to DD cause I couldn't focus good enough. He was gone last night so I had to read, luckily I've read this book nearly every night for the last 6 months so if I can get a couple of words, I can remember the line.

Went swimming at the HS pool this am/pm. We were there for almost 3hrs. DD enjoyed herself. With preschool ending a month sooner than we thought, we took that money and signed her up for swim lessons for the end July thru the beginning of August. Hopefully she'll do well.

Worried about my dog. She was fine this AM but tonight, not so much. Won't come in the house unless I call her, head/tail/ears down. I pet her, offer her a biscuit and she turns her back on me and goes back outside to lay down! I finally got her to eat one after taking it outside but she wouldn't take it from me. She only took it after I set it down for her. She's really off tonight. Oh and a friend came by to pick some veggies up and she NEVER BARKED or came in the house to see her!!!!!

I see a vet visit in my future if she's still like this in the AM and if I can get her in tomorrow! I sure hope she's okay. She has me worried but I can't tell you that anything is for sure wrong. Just that she isn't herself and I KNOW something is wrong. :confused:

*g4e, so sorry your day was so hard w/the new co-worker! Best wishes with the lawyer thing. That is SO wrong what the ER did!

*Tap, ya should've gone home and back to bed! That whole driveway thing would've totally pissed me off! It's MY driveway, get the F out!!!! And I'd be trying to find a way to keep people out of it! That's just rude!

*Lu, I seriously NEED that recipe! Please!!!!!

Okay, I'm outta here! Take care all and have a great night! TTFN!

Heartfire, reading about your dog reminds me... my mom had to put one of her dogs down today (yesterday, now). So sad... he had an enlarged heart and was stage 5 (the worst) and had been for about a year or more. They say they only last about a year, and as of today she said he couldn't even lay down because the pressure from just doing that was too much for his heart. She called the vet out to put him down. She was crying, as was I. What a sweet, BEAUTIFUL dog (he was a King Charles Cavalier). She rescued him at 7 years old.

As for the car, the wife is all for me taking it, but the deal is I have to also take the insurance and car notes with it. Um, NO, I just want the car. I'm easy to appease. I don't have to have it all. :confused:

PJTP----on his way to work yesterday, my husband hit a deer....well it kinda hit him......ON HIS CHOPPER!!!!!

He just built this bike, and it is a beaut----and this doe come running out at him on the highway. His guardian angel must be a fast flyer, because it killed the deer and he remained upright on 2 wheels. His leg he through up to push away from her is bruised and raw, but he is alive to tell the tale.......

Scared this wife!!!

Wow! Your DH is very lucky to be alive. You hear about people dying in cars hitting deer, so I can only imaging how much worse that could have been! You and your DH are very blessed.

Heartfire-I hope that your DDog is ok.

Morning everyone!

Morning everyone!

Why does it have to be dreary on my Saturday? I want to be outside playing in the dirt, and it is raining...again.

Kat - glad to hear your DH is fine; sorry to hear about the deer though. Poor thing; hope she didn't have little ones that are unable to survive. I love driving trips except for the road kill carnage that I see. It breaks my heart...whether it is a skunk, a turtle, a groundhog...whatever.

Beth - What a beautiful vehicle. I'm with you - just the car, not the obligations please!

Heartfire - Hope your dog is ok. Re: the driveway...you have no idea how many people somehow believe it is communal property. There is a school bus pick up close by, and during the school year parents would drive into my driveway and wait for the bus. On one memorable occasion, I politely asked the driver to move as she was blocking MY car from getting out, and she launched into a tirade about my selfishness, etc. After that, DH and I parked the cars to prevent people from entering either part of the driveway, but it is such a pain to do that. And besides, I shouldn't HAVE to!

Lulu - The mac and cheese sounds decadently delicious. The 105 degrees outside though sounds sorta HOT...surely people don't go running or other silly things in that kind of weather?!?

To cap the day yesterday: my office window looks over to the city's basilica and I spent some time watching the funeral (or at least watching the church grounds where video was set up and hundreds of other people were participating outside) for a local police officer killed in the line of duty. At the end of the service when the casket was being brought out, the various police force officers stood should to shoulder along both sides of the sidewalk as an honor guard. I was astounded/ angered/ appalled/ disgusted by the number of people walking in front of the church who would push between the officers and cross to the other side of the sidewalk - just because they had somewhere to go in a hurry. Such disrespect! Then when the assorted marchers and bagpipers and motorcycle escort etc were leading the hearse and family cars to the cemetery (all roads were closed to traffic for this), there were people who didn't think they were moving fast enough I guess, and would again cut in front of the procession, barge through with their shopping carts, bicycles, strollers...Every one of those people should have been glad that I was in a tower and not on ground level or I think there would have been some serious bodily injured inflicted by me - and I am a peace-loving pacifist!!

Where is respect and common decency? It doesn't matter who the service was for, you should always should respect for a service for the deceased...that it was for a police officer killed in the line of duty protecting the likes of these people was just adding insult. The common element - from the vantage point I had, I could see that they were all 'young' (to me) people - late teens, early 20's...

The most touching moment - the police officer's partner who was badly injured in the same event, was brought by ambulance from the hospital to attend the service on a stretcher bed; the ambulance then also formed part of the procession. It was reported in the news that a trauma physician, a nurse and a respirologist volunteered their time to escort the officer as her medical condition was somewhat precarious and she was adamant she was going - with or against medical advice.

I had an unpleasant day; the officer's family had a worse one. So, I got over it.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
