I did it again.............

I started out this new blog with all intentions of being a good blogger, and where am I?  AWOL - that would be the best description at this point!  geez.  Ok, a little recap, been having a great time...ok A wonderful time!! lol  I have had a few dates (and I am not going further into that right now), I have had a great time reconnecting with old friends and at the same time meeting new ones!  I have just been being me and having fun!  Our softball uniforms are in, first game, t-minus three weeks!!  eek...I have been diligently going to batting practice (thank god) and well the rest will just happen!  lol  We have been doing weekly gatherings and hanging out...lots of pool, conversation and good times!!

Spring has finally arrived in the NE, thank god because after this past winter I was done!  Well over it, we had over 100" of snow, which I will say is unprecendented for us.  The bulk of the 77+ came in February.  Seriously, I thought we would see snow till July, but some miraculous thing occurred and it became sunny and warm and melted all that nasty stuff away!  More than ever I have come to realize that I am not a winter girl anymore :(  Where did she go, that girl who loved to skate and ski?? Well she had quite a few knee surgeries and just can't do it anymore...boo hoo

What else, geez....I believe I mentioned the older one moved out.  Now I am cleaning out the house, want to sell and downsize.  I seriously need to.  I am even thinking about relocating, I know this topic has come up before also, and while it's not always in the forefront of my mind, it's still there.  Somewhere a little more south, I have been checking out our work job postings to see if anything of any interest to me pops up!  I hate to leave my family and friends here, but I think my life has come to a point where change is inevitable at this time....maybe not, but I am keeping my options open for now.

Weight - well I will skim on this...almost the same...I think I have gained about 5 lbs....I am hoping softball and my refined eating habits once again will alleve me of these extra pounds....do any of my WLS friends fret when you gain?  I do, it's horrible....

Easter weekend is almost upon us, we are beach bound, with the weatherman calling for almost 80's this weekend and well there are 30 bands playing for free, I know my son has said on one or two occasions in the past week he would love to see them!  Since it's a parking lot atmosphere he will be able to because the rest of the year they will be holed up in the bar!!  lol  So I believe we are beachbound, suntan lotion in hand...and I am looking forward to a great long weekend!!

The results are in............

and the answer is, I have to get the whole procedure done again in three months.  They weren't able to run it 100% positive, but it was not negative either :(  This really upsets the whole coming up months.  Around the birthday is when I go back and start again.  This is really not how I planned on starting my summer. 

On a brighter note, I have joined the softball team of a bunch of old jr high friends.  We have our first game April 23rd..yeah.  I have gotten back into my yoga routine after the long illness.  Already I can say I feel alot better about myself.  I have had not quite a great past few weeks, although being ill doesn't qualify as feeling good, I felt really good about myself when I was with him.  Although that is over, and I really need to let it go, I am having a harder time than before.  The others I could qualify in my head what went wrong and how wrong they were for me, this time it's different and I can't do it, it seems.

Tomorrow is hopefully a rain event, I am so sick of the snow and all the winter and cold we have had this year.  I hoping our spring is mild and sunny, although rainy and cooler seems to be the norm.  lol

I am going to finish watching The Time Traveler's Wife now, enjoy the evening.

Monday migraine

Monday is supposed to be the first day of the work week, for me today, I woke up with a blazing migraine.  I took the meds, called out of work and went back to bed until 1:40pm.  Talk about a killer migraine.  Sometimes I get sick with them also.  I have been really down in the dumps lately.  Alot to do with the undoing of my relationship, winter, this darn snow and just things in general.  I am doing some things to change it around and put myself in a better place.  I don't like feeling this way!

They are calling for more of that darn snow....over 80" this winter, which is totally unprecedented for us here, so spring can't come soon enough for me.  I am still thinking of possibly moving and starting over, but again, I think I need to stay for my son's sake right now.  I'm torn, but am in no hurry to do anything drastic.

So my little life is trudging along, have to schedule some batting practice soon as I have joined a softball league with all my old friends from high school...it should be lots of fun!!

That is it for now, like I said not too much going on!

Another Sunday...

another day.   My oldest and his girlfriend came over for dinner tonight, it was very nice since my youngest his current girlfriend also joined us.  Felt like the family again, I am adjusting still to the oldest being gone and out on his own.  Anyhow, it's been a busy weekend, bloodbank yesterday and no I didnt' pass out afterwards, even though I probably could have, grocery shopping after that and a movie with my favorite youngest son..lol

Today I was a little sluggish getting up, lots of laundry done and dinner with the kids as mentioned before...so that is my weekend in a snapshot...

Hope you all enjoyed your's as much as I did mine!!

First Weekend

Knowing I am alone and on my own.  What have I done...well I have been productive, blood bank today, hair cut (yes she cut the bangs too short ugh) and grocery shopping.  My youngest and I had some time watch a movie too!  I am not ok right now with being without a special someone but it will do and i am doing it.....Life is not always fair, but we trudge along right!!!

Tonight, well I have been checking on my farm and cafe in facebook.  (Ok, yes I am lame and without direction!!!) but I know that I am ok and doing a little something now and again.  Tomorrow my oldest and his girlfriend are coming for dinner!  Yeah I miss him, but wish him the best with this move!  I know any home cooked meal can be good for them, leftovers going home with them is them is an extra check plus....

I couldn't exercise today because of the blood bank, but I will say I overdid it with the groceries since I was alone and I understand why, tomorrow morning I have a date with some yoga!

Nothing much going on as you see, you have missed nothing...nada...but winter can go away :(

Thursday

I was very tired, but also found a bit of energy to get some things done at home last night, so no blog.  We were expecting a big snowstorm to hit yesterday morning, but it never really happened, for us at least.  It seems that north of me in PA/NJ/NY they are getting slammed.  We are getting snow from this storm but not the 30+ inches they are getting up there!  The winds though on this storm are treacherous.  We have sustained winds of 20-30 mph and the gusts of up to 60mph.  Well put that with the ground which is still covered in places with the 30+ inches we got a few weeks back, plus the soaking rains we endured a bit earlier this week and that wreaks havoc with the older, dying or not deeply rooted trees.  I am fearful of power outages, so far so good.

Tonight the boy and I are doing pizza and a movie, tomorrow I donate blood so I need to keep it light.  I am sure tomorrow afternoon I will be snoozing as it always happens after I donate.  I do this to keep my iron levels in check, they tend to run a bit high!  Four times a year and I am in good shape!

Tuesday coming I get the results of my copolscopy, crossing fingers they are good.  Thursday next week I start the procedure to find out what we are going to do with my right wrist.  I need to get xrays done also because I need to take them with me!  With this weather it hasn't happened so far.  Maybe tonight. 

That is about it for me right now...not really too much going on, just dreaming of spring and summer!! 

Hump day was a bust....

I have tired and very lathargic today...ok that is way too big of word for me...

Anyhow, I managed to eek out work today and still be quite productive, so for that I give myself quite a pat on the back.  I am still dwelling on my phone call last night...errr

But the best news of all.....oh wait are you sitting down!!  we are due for yet another winter storm from tonight through Friday morning...another 12-18" of snow and heavy, wet snow at that!!! Can you say I am so over this, where is summer becuase I know I am!!!  I have no Significant Other (SO) to take care of this for me now, so I will be up way too early tomorrow deciding if I should go to work or not...and with I say it sucks.  I liked having that relationship and no not for the snow shoveling that he did for me over and over and over.....

So I will touch a bit on the other (WLS) I am still the same....I love the maintenance, it seems to be almost a no brainer for me, I have a bad treat now and again and I balance it out with a few more salads, protein shakes or whatever and I am good as gold.  My primary physician said not too long ago you are a bariatric doc's dream patient...you've lost, you are maintaining and seem mostly unharmed from this.  Exactly what that last part meant I am not sure, and not sure I will ever know!!!  lol

Tonight I have finished my taxes!! yeah...it is enabling my son and I to have a half decent vacation with some savings too!! So for that I say SCORE!!!

I would love a snow day tomorrow (I mean sleep day) lol  I am tired and worn, I have laundry  and dishes going so after that I am done tonight....
