I slept forever today. Woke up several times, but went back to sleep. Yay! May actually stay awake on my first night at work.
Have been trying to arrange that dive trip next July. Had to get new prices today as 2 couples backed out. A week of diving, an oceanfront 3 bedroom villa with full kitchen, 2 twin cab pickup trucks for the week and the flight over....all for $1700 per person. Not bad. Just waiting on the final Ok from one couple so I can lock down the room. We will each book our own flights.

Celeste I realize IBD can do damage and be painful.I hope you feel better soon.My IBS can be painful but other than polyps there's no real danger.
Hi Suze My day is going okay.I hope you get relief for your foot soon.

CONNIE sounds like fun. I hope everything works out. You already know these folks so you know if they're flakey or not (I assume NOT). What island are we going to? I mean YOU going to 
BECKY any changes w/ Marcie? (your cat in case I messed up the name).
Boy the difference a day makes. I was a 2 on a 1-10 scale and at least a 7 today. It's kind of like the TX weather... A ROLLER COASTER.
Today was 79 and tomorrow the high's supposed to be in the 50's and then it gets warm again and then cold and.... sheeesh.
BECKY whether it's IBS or IBD it is so uncomfortable. And they're both something we need to learn to LIVE WITH and that's the part I'm having trouble wrapping my brain around. I want to take a magical pill and be cured.
My bone broth Veggie Beef soup was delish. I could eat it every day. I also made grilled cheese sammies w/ it (mine was on toasted cardboard aka gluten free bread).

Celeste I know both are uncomfortable.It took me awhile to learn mine is something that comes and goes but will always come back.Marcie pee's some now.She doesn't act like there's not a thing wrong with her.She has started drinking more water and I got her a dry cat food that's supposed to keep things in balance.She runs and plays and jumps up in the air so unless she gets worse I won't take her to the vet.Thanks for asking.We got up to 77 and I had a beautiful walk but tomorrow it does get cool again.Flip flops today boots tomorrow I guess.I hope you feel better soon.I know it can be hard to eat with a limited diet especially eating cardboard bread.I tried FODMAP for a week and decided it didn't help or hurt any more than normal.I admire you for sticking to it.

SANDY- glad court went smoothly.
CELESTE- it will be back to Bonaire. The one couple will be brand new divers and it is the easiest place we've ever been to dive. And even with experience, I'm a fan of easy!

BECKY as much as I HATE this diet, I'm pretty sure it's helping me a lot. Not perfect. Not cured. But much better. No way in hell I'd bother with it if I wasn't pretty sure it was helping. It's so restrictive. So I'm w/ you. If I didn't feel better I surely wouldn't bother.
SANDY so glad your court date went so efficiently. I always dread dealing w/ bureaucracy. (I always misspell that word... TYVM spell check).
CONNIE I've been to the A and the C but never the B of the ABC's (I don't think I have anyway). Certainly liked Aruba and Curacao.
UGH LOUISE on Phone errands. I had to fix some delivery issues at Amazon and I could have called, emailed or live chatted. Trust me, calling was my last choice. I think I have it fixed via chat w/ Vineesh!
WOW ANGIE I don't even have my gifts. Let alone thinking about wrapping.
It's FRESCA outside. Which is FRIO but sunny according to my housekeeper.
Bob Barker is 94 today. COME ON DOWN BOB!!!
Terrible night w/ my GERD last night. I'm going to NOT have ANY pre-bedtime snack. Kitchen is closing after dinner. Maybe that will help. Took me forever to fall asleep b/c of it. I tried sleeping sitting up and that wasn't happening. I may have to go back to RX strength omeprazole. Though when I was taking that, I was having lots of break thru. Maybe I'll take some of the time release peppermint closer to bedtime. Last night I took it before dinner. maybe too early. Experimenting here.

Celeste I'm sorry you are having so much trouble with GERD. I found if I had a light snack it didn't bother me but yours sounds so much worse than mine ever was.It's odd but since I have been on WW I haven't had GERD but I still have trouble with IBS. The GERD is the reason I could never do LCHF. It's the fat that used to cause the pain if later at night.I hope you get some relief soon.
I went to HEB this morning and am trying to decide if it's worth walking with the wind out there.
I haven't bought gifts either although Kenneth has told me what he wants.We will have to make a trip to Taylor for it.
Marcie seems to be cured thank goodness.
Have a good afternoon everyone.BBL.

CELESTE- I've been to A and B, but not C. I always assumed C was a lot like B....not as developed as Aruba, but good for scuba. Since you don't dive, I'm curious how you picked it and what were your impressions as compared to A.
BECKY- cute Avatar.
So you you know I told you that I called the optical dept about the glasses I ordered. They said they weren't in yet. I gave it another 10 days and called back today and they told me they are in and they tried to call me on the 29th. Um....NOOOO. I got no call on caller ID. No one left me a message. And that means they were in when I called last time. And why wouldn't you try to reach me again on the 30th, 1st, 2nd.....Meanwhile, I need stronger lenses. Now I have to figure out how to get there to pick them up when they are open and I'm not sleeping.....

Thanks Connie.That is really a bummer about your glasses.One year the optical place I went to sent my glasses off and the lab broke them so by time I got them it was 4 weeks later.I hope you can get them picked up.
I walked this afternoon and the wind wasn't as bad as I thought.It may freeze here tonight so I wanted to get steps in while I can.I don't think it's going to get out of the 60's the rest of the week.

BECKY YAAAAAY on Marcie being cured. And I honestly don't think the bedtime snack was causing my GERD (not sure what it) however I'm going to try no snack tonight. I WAS doing so much better as far as reflux and now kaplooey. I just have one messed up digestive system.
CONNIE at least the main town in Curacao, it's quite developed and advance compared to most of the Caribbean. They have lots of time shares there. And the coolest swinging bridge. It's really developed w/ a high standard of living. Very clean and safe. More developed (like commercial/financial type development) than Aruba. I've been to both of them a few times on cruises. Usually they skip Bonaire. But in September I'll be going to all 3. I love Aruba for the gorgeous beaches but Curacao for the shopping in Willamstad (sp?). But I know snorkelers say B is by FAR the best so I can imagine divers would prefer it.
grrrrrr on the eyeglass place totally dropping the ball. 2 days ago I had Walgreens call to ask if I were going to pick up my rx that had been there for 10+ days. I said "In the past 10 days, I've picked up my new statin which took 3 calls since I wasn't initially approved, then gone back to pick up my Cipro and then we had the big deal about my expensive Xifaxin. WHY DIDN'T THEY GIVE IT TO ME THEN!? I would go each time and just say "Picking up prescriptions for Barker" so why? I mean really? Do you think I like going to Walgreens 4 times in less than 10 days? I know I have no life but............
ALSO CONNIE I hope when you do pick up your glasses, that they're CORRECT. That's not always a given.
BECKY I want to get my #2 of 2 "Stretch" days (9400 steps) in today b/c you never know if tomorrow I'll be sick or it will be freezing (it IS cold today). I need 3,600 more so I can do that w/ a long walk around my neighborhood and the adjoining one. THen I'll work on the 4 "regular challenge" days of 7400, b/c I like to have my rest day on Sunday. This past Sunday I was so sick there was no way I was getting steps in (I had less then 2K).
I won't be doing another step bet any time soon. It's been good for me but I want to wait until my health issues are more stable. Not sure how I'll get my steps in while I'm in St Louis. Between my son living in these windy hills (I get lost SO easily), and it being COLD up there... I'll do the best I can. The days at the airport are easy. I'd get 7400 in just walking back and forth in DFW and STL.

We need to start a bail fund. Y'all will come visit, right? Uuuggggghhhhhh!!!! Got in yesterday to notes from my sub on how awful one of my classes was last week and a few other students in a couple classes. This one student is going to test my last nerve. I'm really hoping she'll just be put in ISS for the next few days. The good news is this class ends on Friday and I will not have her again. The AP asked how I handled all the other students on the list and the answer is very simple....they chose to talk and not work last week, so this week, they canNOT utter one.single.word!! It's exhausting, but I am mean as a skunk with that class right now.
3 DAYS.......
