Let's start a positive check in thread!

Yay-power! Heat! Lights!

Yay-medical tests that come back 'safe'! I always have abbie-paps, so I know that drill.

Yay-shopping and dinner out!

Puppy snuggles-early morning.

The light outside my office window is beautiful. It is overcast and misting outside, but the autumnal colors through the soft air makes for some gorgeous viewing.

My LTD check will be very nice and it is tax deductable. Plus they back payed me for 3 months! :))
I can pay off one of my credit cards! :))

I was playing with my puppy and she accidently bit my finger. I was bleeding for several minutes. Then I heated a cup of hot tea for myself and it spilled all over my hand....the hand she bit...and now my skin is burned, too!

My good news? I didn't swear!

Gorgeous Sunny day. Had a great first class, and got to talk about my special area of interest. I plan to go do deep water aerobics after office hours.

Happy pain-reduction, yaw'l.

Ouch, Sherrine! Those little puppy teeth are so sharp, and then a burn on top of it! I'd say you showed considerable restraint, good for you.

I almost cancelled a job for tomorrow morning, because getting up at 6 and getting there by 8 is really hard for me...I know it shouldn't be, but it is. Since my surgery last March, I've only done afternoon jobs. I accepted this one last week (through the automated system) and hoped, yet again, that by now I'd be in the swing of an earlier schedule. We-l-l, I'm not. Cancelling a job is just a click of a mouse, no repercussions, no one cares...and I've been SO tired lately.

But then I noticed (through the online system) that this is with a teacher I subbed for a few weeks ago - one I actually met, and she was really nice. In fact, she's the first one in 11 years who bothered to insert a message in the system, telling me what time the kids come back from lunch and that I could eat mine while I looked over her directions. Usually I have to guess, so I really appreciated that. And, quite possibly, she specifically requested me. In a very impersonal system, this means something.

So I'm keepng the job. Baby steps!! :)

I know, their situation is so sad. My friend in NY can't believe I've been in 60+ degree weather. Wish I could send some out there!

Yeah, why do mornings get so much harder as we get older?

Good luck on Tuesday, I hope you get to your hair appointment with ease!

Debbie

Thanks Deb...

I think with laying in one position all night is my problem with mornings. My right hip aches bad because that is the only side I can sleep on. So I have to get up early to get some relief. Just getting out of bed helps. My first two years with fibromyalgia were spent in bed. So glad that is behind me.

I hope that you have a good day. And I really hope that this job works out for you. Do you work part time or full time? Sometimes when we don't have to go in everyday, it becomes easier. I use to like have days off in a row though so I had to work some consequetive days. But I didn't have to go in until 2:00 in the afternoon. Worked util 11:00.

Take care, keep posting all...

Hugs, Karen

It's my birthday! It's sunny and 60 and my birthday. I refuse to let anything get me down! I took the scenic route to campus. I was stopped at the train tracks on the way to work. I had fun watching the cars pass and trying to decide what contents they held. I couldn't find a parking space, but then I did and enjoyed the walk in the sun by the river and the admin buildings to my office building. The elevator is working today.

As you can see, I am practicing positive self-talk! Positive Friday, yaw'l.

Happy birthday, Myself...glad you're having a great day!  It's wonderful how we can change our attitudes with a little positivity and gratitude!

Very happy to hear Amnestria!!!

Hugs, Karen

I slept a good solid night's sleep last night. In fact my mother had to wake me up this morning so I didn't sleep too long. I was her driver today. :)

We enjoyed a quick trip to the doctor and Wallyworld. :)

I put on the cute striped top I found yesterday. It's rainbow colors and was very cheery to wear. My mom said I was acting perkier than I'd been acting in the past. ^_^
