CT, I am sorry to hear the mouth guard is not working. I love mine and can't really sleep without it.
I am sorry about your birthday. Mine is an easy day so people don't generally forget it. However, my siblings don't seem to remember DH's birthday, sadly, but he is the day before my sister's so it's not like he is by himself.
My eye is better, but I have another day of eye drops to finish.
WE had the cold weather and sleet last weekend but it has been incredibly mild since then. We had something like 77 on Friday and this week will be all 60's, though not particularly sunny.
Working to get back into the swing of things tracking wise. I have a conference end of Feb in Florida and it would be a good goal to be down a few more lbs. Oh yeah, even my steps have been all over the place. On the TM desk now trying to hit 10K at least.
I am pretty tired tonight!

Hi all, I must be one of those awful people in other people's lives because if it weren't for face-book reminders, I'd never remember their birthdays. Mom and Dad yes, but mostly because they're getting up there and we don't know how many more they'll have. I sent Dad a gift that a sister (who is there) suggested, then I bought them all a high-end snow-blower (they're supposed to get another 10" this week!). I guess I remember my sisters and my BFF's well enough, but I never send anything except maybe a text or e-mail or FB post. DH and I will exchange something small on our BD's (I asked for new tech gloves, that's what I'll get). I would never remember my sisters husbands BDs or my friends husbands, or even their kids! I have a vague notion of when my colleagues BDs are but other than saying "happy birthday" if I see them, I don't go out of my way. It's just another day. I don't get it. If I don't have a good enough relationship with someone to want to talk to them pretty regularly for other reasons (and I talk to my sisters and friends often) then I wouldn't expect them to remember anyway. My dad turned 83 on Monday. I have a card. It's still sitting on the kitchen counter. So, I must be one of those awful people.
Finally on the upswing healthwise. Went to TRX on Monday and a short (really pathetic) run yesterday. Today I'm torn between TRX and a "founders day" talk that will be given at about the same time. Then I get to go get an ultrasound on the left girl. Had my annual ladies apt and doc found what she is pretty sure is a cyst but we're going to check to be sure. I had one on the right one after my last mam b/c they saw things they hadn't seen before, but then they blamed it on getting a new/better mam-machine. (sigh) However, the left one is the one that's been getting my attention. I think I mentioned it here before. It seemed like it was always in the way. But that was before the mam, and when that didn't raise any red flags, I let it go. Now, here we go again!
GS: glad your eye is better and hope you are able to keep tracking and stepping! CT: I don't know anything about bite guards. Wish I could help. Zeee: Sounds like you are busy. Hope you get to some PhD stuff!
Gotta go walk the dog. KS

Hi all,
CT, not to be an online armchair dr but from your post you sound depressed. Do you see a shrink or think of seeing on. CBT is supposed to help with mood issues. i have a very trying work thing for the past year and definitely needed to see someone. it's been a challenge finding the right one and only 1/3 of her cost is covered by my insurance, but it's kind of essential at present.
hi everyone else.

Hi All, Z: I completely agree with you. I've been in therapy at 3 different times in my life. I only had one really good counselor, the others I kind of ran circles around b/c of my existing knowledge. It took a combo of medications (antidepressants) and CBT to get me moving forward. So, I hear you and agree with you! We all need help sometimes, and some of us will need more help than others, and that's OK. CT: I know you've talked about working with counselors before, and what I feel bad about is that to see someone costs money or requires insurance, both of which have been challenges for you. I guess my only answer to that is to just keep trying until you can find someone who you can see and keep fighting with the insurance to cover it because you deserve to be happy! It stinks that we have to fight for the opportunity to be happy! but you are a fighter! That's evident from your posts. You're willing to drive hours to get the treatment you need, so, keep fighting! GS: Hope you are doing well. Hope your classes are going smoothly!
So, update on the "girls" they're fine. Just cysts as expected. I'm weird, I actually enjoy watching the ultrasounds and being able to identify different structures and tissues :-) SUCH a nerd! LOL! They suggested I come back in 3-6 months just to make sure they're not changing but I'm pretty comfortable with that. I'll sleep just fine tonight.
It's snowing again in Idaho (where my family is). One sister has ice-dams causing leaks inside their house (garage though so could be worse) and my niece has a similar problem in their living room :-(. Schools are closed for the 6th time. Schools NEVER CLOSE in Idaho for bad weather. They do usually schedule school to allow for up to 2 snow days, but that's never happened, until this year. It's really crazy. It reminds me of when GS was talking about her family in Buffalo getting all that snow (what was it, 50"?) They haven't gotten that much, but it usually melts between snows. This year it's just stayed...
OK, time to get back to work! KS
