Good Morning Everyone,

Monday, the start of another work week. I dressed up a little bit today. I mentioned earlier that it seems like one of the bosses is trying to counsel/be there for me. He asked to to dressed differently for a week and see what reactions I get, how I feel, make observations, etc. I couldn't do it when he asked two weeks ago but decided I'll try it today. It feels weird. This is soo not me.

MissJD: Hope you get some rest and you'll feel better. Read about your 'bad mood' being back. I'm sorry. Rest up and try to relax.

HB: Hope things will get better for you. We're here for you.

Wendy: We missed ya... I'm glad you're back :-).

Welcome Kate! I didn't get much rest but I'm feeling better than last week. I took lots of flu meds over the weekend. I hope you daughter will feel better. It's nice that your mom is there for you and you can call her to talk.

Hello to everyone else-Karen, Trina, Michele, JB, Myself, Rob, Carl, AV and anyone else I missed.

Wishing everyone a good day!

Good morning all,

It is a very cold start to the week, -16 this morning. But... It is suppose to be warmer all week. Yay, maybe spring is just around the corner...

I hope you all have a good day today.

UA, I hope you get use to dressing differently. I hope that is a good move.


Everybody have a good day!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Good morning .....

   Wow Karen ...... Northern Michigan and Northern Illinois have two completely different weather fronts.

   It's dark and dreary here - but it was 24 degrees at 7am ... actually pleasant to be out in - so Gizzy could take his time peeing!!!! Again - no dog walkers seen this morning - but Gizmo is getting used to this!

   It is supposed to snow today ...... again! But I'll take that over subzero weather ....... I guess!

   UA ...... good to see your post. How's the Moderator "business" going? I'm sure you're good at it .... bet you're kind of enjoying it too!

   HB ...... please young lady - for a week or two - strike "apology" from your language. And that's no criticism .... at all!

   Wendy tP ...... was "Lost" one of your favorite TV series? sorry - I've had this slightly cynical attitude for a few days - at least! Just trying to be funny - even if not successful!!!!

 

New news ...... talked to my youngest daughter last night. She's getting excited about re-locating soon ... and today she starts working in local but split locations - sort of in-house training for her promotion.

  AV ...... I guess you watched "The Walking Dead" last night. Judith is OK ... Carol is back ... lot's more happening - and three new characters to add to the mix!

Have a good Presidents Day - don't wait for the mail!

Rob & Gizmo

UA-Good to see you! I must admit, when I first started dressing for work, it was hard and felt weird. Then, I got used to it pretty quick. Now, it feels odd to dress down, for whatever reason. Though, in my former field, sometimes dressing 'appropriately' was more important.

True story-I was teaching a voice class, and was doing relaxation with them. I decided to try a little contact improv, a dance form which is totally improvised by contact off your partner's body. It starts by rolling over your partner's body, so they learn to take the weight.

Well, that morning I decided to dress up. V-necked dress, hose, heels, etc. I kicked off the heels to do the relaxation, and then got to the contact part. I got someone to demo with me. Uhm, dress bad idea. I flashed both sides of the room. Skirt rode up on one end, and dress rode down on the other. I loved that class--they were in stitches.

Ah, fun days.

Today we are talking of going to a movie. I wanted to get out walking, but it is sunny and 15 degrees currently.

Hope you have a better day, MissJD!

Rob-scratch the bear-like one for me.

Karen-delighted as always. Make it a good day.

Good morning Rob!!!

It is up to -7 now. Looks like it could be a nice day, but they are talking winter storm. Just what we don't need...

I hope you all have an awesome day today. Remember it is Monday!!! Always a slow start to the week!!!

Hugs, Karen...

Rob-glad your youngest is keeping in touch. Change is stressful but also exciting. Her move isn't long now!

Go do something fun!
Posted 2/17/2014 2:51 PM (GMT 0)
Happy to hear it's getting warmer Karen.

Rob: Thanks for asking. Moderating is going well so far. I miss being a regular here though :-(. Hope you have a good day. Is Presidents Day a holiday?

Myself: That's a funny story. Lol. We don't usually have a dress code here. The bosses usually say once we're comfortable and we get our work done. I try to dress semi-formal/semi-casual though. Everyone dresses very casual but I find when I'm too casual, I don't feel like I'm going to work. Today I'm formal. I think my boss thinks if I dress better, I may feel better and not feel soo depressed. Idk...
If you decide to go to the movie, have a good time!

UA .............

   Presidents Day .... is a holiday (meaning paid time-off) for banks and the post office .... and in some ways - schools!

   For us grunts ...... well .......!!!!

   I still really miss working my little business though - even without a paid Christmas or any other holiday! I know .... the grass is greener ..........!

Have a good week. Blow your bosses mind one day this week - and wear shorts and sandals into work!!!!

Good morning to all, I didn't sleep well last night and I have my two grandsons for the day, they are 4 and 5 and at this stage where they seem to think that saying fart over and over is soooooooooooo funny... I do not agree..
Posted 2/17/2014 4:33 PM (GMT 0)
lol
Posted 2/17/2014 6:04 PM (GMT 0)
Lol! My two kids are lactose intolerant and because of that fart is said quite often. They think it's funny after they've had milk to come cuddle. Such stinkiness they can emit!

Rob, I was happy to see carol and Judith. The older little girl has me worried, she seems a bit psycho. They really had me worried for Glenn. I loved seeing Daryl and Beth. Such a strange combo but I think she can keep his hopes alive. There's so many possibilities of what may come next.
Posted 2/17/2014 9:57 PM (GMT 0)
Hello AV ......

   I knew Carol was going to be back - but I still think some info is missing - like how did she survive alone? And will Tyre (sp?) find out???

   I really was afraid Judith was gone - boy she grew!!!

   The older of the two girls is very spooky - I agree!

   Daryl's gonna be just fine - Beth a little spacey - both survivors!

   How did Glen get back to the prison - guess i missed that!

   I don't know if you get "The Talking Dead" - that comes right after the show on AMC. It sounds like the new characters are going to become major players in this series. Maybe Carol had joined with them! Hmmm!

   From the week before .... at the end - when someone knocked on the door .... Rick checked - then said to Carl "It's for you"! THAT WAS GREAT - loved it!

   Enjoy!

Oh, yeah. I loved seeing the development in Michonne. I was also happy to see Carl finally realized he needs his dad.

It's going to be bad for Carol if Tyresse finds out that it was her. She has become so much harder than she was at the beginning. I think she has become quite the survivor but maybe too much so.

It does seem that Judith has grown a lot! I liked the after show talking about how Tyreese probably has it the worst with all of these little girls. That has to be so much worse to try and protect little kids all by yourself.

I think Glenn climbed off the bus before it left. He was going after Maggie but with the fever and explosions he passed out. Fortunately he was in a safe place. They just kind of skimmed over that.

Well, it's 12:30 and I am wide-awake. Normally, it is pain that keeps me up Now, no pain. I took my usual meds, 1/2 hydrocodone, an ambien, and half a muscle relaxer. I waited in bed for an hour before I gave up, got up, and logged in.

Relaxed busy day. Snow moved in within the last half hour, supposedly to get to 3 inches by morning. My time of the month also started, and no hormones are running through my system. I am taking Wellbutrin now, added just last week, and I do feel a lot more alert and with it.

So, all those, or a few, or none likely contribute to the waking. The lack of pain is weird, but exciting I guess. Normally it is that my body hurts so much and I cannot get still that causes this.

Hello all!

Cant stay long, watching The Following! Omg good show.

I am also going to start my new JD Robb ( Norm Roberts) book. Yay

Tomorrow is laundry and Supernatural. Got my bedroom and bathroom cleaned so everything is fresh again.

Well shows back on. More tomorrow.
Posted 2/18/2014 12:08 PM (GMT 0)
Myself,

The wellbutrin could be keeping you up at night, that is why I couldn't take it. What time of the day are you taking it???

I hope you get sleep...

Hugs, Karen...

Good morning .....

   It was a long night last night - got to sleep by about 3am with some lousy movies. Don't know why those movies kept me awake!

   This morning, it's bright and sunny after last nights snowfall. It's already 28 degrees out - and it sounds like there's a lot of black ice out there. Between the black ice, a major train wreck and a commuters day back to work - the local expressways are a mess!

   Once again - no dogs today - and we were out late this morning.

   Gizmo must be getting even with me. Lately, when i fall asleep on the sofa, I'll wake up and find him acting like a major leg-warmer - sometimes laying on top of my legs - or between them. What happened to those old days where he laid down next to me on the floor? It's surprising how gentle he is walking over my legs to find a comfy spot!

   Everyone - have a good Tuesday.

Rob & Gizmo

Good morning Rob,

Thanks for posting. Sounds like you are getting a warm up there. I hope we have one here soon. It is suppose to get warmer this week. But more precipitation, could be freezing rain. Which I am not happy about.

Jasmine sleeps on my legs too. Keeps me very warm at night, almost too warm... She is a bed hog.

I hope you have a good day today. Take care...

Hugs, Karen...
Posted 2/18/2014 3:22 PM (GMT 0)
Karen, you may be right. I am taking it with my morning pills. School days around 6:30, non-school days around 9. I don't feel tired right now. I do feel super achey, and seem to have a slight cold.

I feel so much better, so much more myself. I seem to be able to take care of things that have been piling up and me not taking care of them. Taxes, dealing with KP, bills. BF and I are not fighting as much, and he also seems to be benefiting from his therapy. I suggested that, after the Olympics, we eat dinner at the table and discuss a CBT book recommended. A little every night.

But I do feel a little jittery at times. Last night was the first night there was a sleeping problem.
