Good morning & welcome to the shortest day of the year. Happy Winter Solstice!
Another night of lousy sleep. This is getting tiresome, pun intended.
I have a physical this morning. What kind of nut goes through this Christmas week? I go to the doctor so rarely that they sent me a letter in November & said if I didn't come in for a check up I would be banished to the inactive files. I happen to be one of those people that likes to self diagnose, yuk yuk. Anyway, don't like going but I'll be good, Santa is watching.
Couple of errands after the doctor's appointment and then a quiet day.
Enjoy the shortest day & longest night

Sullicat- Sorry about the sleep issues. I actually got up before my alarm, which never happens!
I honestly can sleep 12-14 hours a night and still sleep the next night. They are sending me to an endocrinologist in January because I can just not get enough sleep, can not get warm enough and my BP is so low (77/52 is normal for me).
Good luck at the doctors.
I can't wait for the days to get a little longer!

Good Wednesday to all. Last work day for me so I can't complain. Hoping the workday goes quickly. Cold here in VA but the temps this week will be okay enough for winter. Didn't get a walk in this morning since back pain is trying for a good comeback. I refuse to let it get ahold of me so quietly pushing through and taking it light.
Enjoy the day. Peaceful vibes to all who need them. |

Heather, sounds like endocrinologist is the way to,go. I am hypothyroid so I'm always cold and I do sleep a lot, just have problems with all this sinus stuff. Keep us posted.

Morning friends, Sadness seems to reign this holiday season. As if it wasn't enough to bear that we will be burying my dear sister-in-law this Friday, I learned late yesterday that a dear friend died suddenly. She was the swim instructor at my gym--the lady responsible for getting me to join the special group of "water babies" (that's what she called us). I think I cried myself to sleep last night...

Beth, hope your back improves. Back issues are so painful. Rest if you can.

Good morning, Friends. The packers are here...I can tell kindof stunned at how little there is to do. I did call the office Monday to let them know it was basically done, but guess it got *lost in translation*. J and I kept on until bedtime and had things ready...I can't wait until they leave for us to pull out of our closets and organize the stuff we will take tomorrow, LOL. But, I envision lots of reading and quiet today (sadly, the DVR was moved, so no catching up there.) I hope my wishes are fulfilled! pbnj I think our sadness is harder to bear at the holidays because all the hype tells us it's so darn wonderful; I know you are taking care best you can. I heard yesterday of another friend that lost someone like your DSIL in a freak accident; what a reminder that we just have today. thyme2 I am a creaky 👵🏻 this morning, so truly *feel your pain*. I can't think that the next two days will be busy for me, so keeping it light myself. sullicat1 Thanks for getting us up and going and hoping for the *all clear* (in so many ways!) for you. Have a good one! |

Done with shopping and almost done with wrapping. Going to spend the next two days giving my house some much needed attention.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day:)

sullicat1, it's so funny because reading your posts we have a bit in common. I've been having trouble sleeping lately too. I'm due for my annual physical (though I did go last year), I think my hypothyroidism is acting up (though probably because I haven't been good about taking my Synthroid lately). I've also had my sinusitis act up lately.
I've been eating too much lately too. Last check my weight was only up about 2 lbs, but if I check again it's likely to be up more. I'll be happy when the holidays are over in terms of weight control. What happens to me is that I wake up so many times in the middle of the night hungry and snack. Sometimes on not so good stuff. I've been overeating carbs when I'm supposed to be limiting them. I think my blood work will likely be poor when it's tested at the end of February. Even if I get back on my plan after New Years, I don't think there will be enough time to fix the damage.

Beef burgundy for DH tonight because grandson choose corn dogs for their birthday dinner. pbnj, sending you hugs dina, your girls are adorable ksbruns, almost moved, yay! |

sullicat1, sorry to hear about your sleep troubles. Good luck at the doctor today. I rarely go to the doctor and my doctor's office called me to harass me to have a physical. So I'm going the 1st week in January. Speaking of doctors, I'm going to call mine this morning. I took amoxicillin following gum surgery and now I'm covered in a rash. I never knew I was allergic to it but I guess so. pbnj, I'm so sorry for all that you're going through. Please take care of yourself. Hope everyone has a good day, finishes all those last minute errands, and gets through the week.
