####Stating Over Final Time - Want it Wednesday##

Good morning Jo... Not sure how much of a day I will have today... feel like my "head cold" may actually be strep? My throat is literally "throbbing"... been a long night of fitful sleep... going to town for my blood work today, but then might just come back home... I'll decide after I can shower and have coffee! LOL No one ever told me but I assume this is "fasting" bloodwork - so haven't made coffee for the morning... sipping water though, hope that's OK...it helps the throat - but messes with my stomach! OY VEY!

Will try to catch up...

Sue, glad you enjoyed your swim last night. My arms and legs are feeling like lead now too. Yes I have 2 monitors and she did get them switched out. They are hugh compared to my old ones! Wow look like little tvs. I love having two monitors. I really don't think we could do our job without them. Had pork last night and for lunch today too. I was planning on making the chicken burrito bowl in the crockpot one day this week.

Carole, wow to all the Drs apps. this week. Good luck with them all! Good to get them done and over with. Hope you get to feeling better. We dot' have steps at our building, well not ones you would want to take on a regular basis just a fire exit. So my steps are at the parking garage. But I really do need to get up and walk around even to the bathroom more. I get so sore just sitting at my desk.I need to go back and read bout Neige texting you. Hopefully that was a good thing.

Gabrielle, the new girl start today. It was a different kind of office yesrterday. We will see how today goes. I was really too busy to socialize. Hope you get the work done you want to. I try to prioritize too You have to or things get so out of control. You are driving to Florida? that will be a long trip. Where in FL are you going? i thought of you when I was talking myself into getting up and doing the WO this morning.

Jenny, hope you feel better. Its no fun learning something new when you are sick.

Christine how are you and how is that knee feeling?

Shelly, 2 work outs in one day? You go girl! I bet the gym was packed. I had a fleeting thought of joining one here but didn't want to be one of those people that join after the new year then don't gain 2 month. Think I stick with my WOs. You are doing great t hough.


well need to get moving.

OK Must get going... NEED to leave ON TIME for my 7:25 lab appointment...

Uh Oh...out of the loop again...yesterday morning I finished a report before deadline and WHAM was already late for work. Today I paid some bills so again, a little behind but packed tuna salad and had a healthy breakfast - ready to head out - Lake Effect Snow storm hitting around noon today - oh joy - 

Good afternoon! I am going to help Kim start forms this afternoon. She has an interview and I am taking her dog to the vet for ear infection. I think she did her own taxes on TurboTax a couple of years ago and doesn't have a copy. :-(

Other than that OP so far. Need to update journal.

Jo-thanks for starting us off.

Gabrielle- sounds like a good lunch!

Christine-we are in line for some snow too but not much.. Just really cold!

Carole-sorry about sore throat...Hot tea with lemon and honey is what I would suggest.

OK I have to get some coffee and then get Aspen in the car. Try to bbl!

JO...what exactly is a Metabolic Affect WO?? Good idea to do it on the bed and not the floor....getting up off the floor is tough on knees!! How great that Cookie answered some of your questions!! If you get any tidbits we could all use...please share!! I know for me, often motivation is the tough part! I go great for a while then "life happens" and my motivation can get side-lined!! You might be right about the antibiotics messing with Steve's stomach...some do that to me!! How much longer is he on them?? Maybe then he will get his appetite back and be on the mend!

Carole...I hope you are right about the fly-by being gone, but I'm going to try not to dwell on it either way!! I know in the past that when I get "back on track" my system sometimes doesn't respond as quickly as I hope it would....one good day at a time and I'll get to my final goal!!

Don't question why the scale is down Carole...just goes to show that you had a VERY successful December when it came to food, drink and planning....keep up the good work, my friend!!

Oh my...Kaitlin really is a piece of work...if you have 10 days to get the claims done, they would NOT be a priority for me to get them done while covering for her!! She sounds a bit ungrateful for the work you do cover but then again, I'm not surprised....she thinks she above everyone and she is the princess that all should bow to!!

WOW Carole...that is awesome that Ken's former boss gave the bonus as a "gift"!! No taxes on it will definitely be great!!! Glad you don't have to worry about the new furniture purchase now and you have a jumpstart on Disney!!

I will say, you guys are braver than me...I will NEVER bring a child younger than 5-6 years old to Disney!! Sarah worked there for an internship several years ago so we had gone often...I watched parents with small kids struggle...nope, not my cup of tea!!! When the boys don't need naps, don't need strollers, can ride things...then we will go!!! I am not as brave as you!!!
