Vannie: Your cooking and workouts sound awesome! You are a go-getter, let me tell you.
Cher: How's Joseph doing? I hope Cathe's right and they ship next week. I'm starting to look forward to seeing these new workouts in person.
JB: I love the Lite pyramid workouts.
Karen: Saw your FB pics. Looks like an awesome trip. Wondered how you liked the cold.
Check in: I really am still alive. Crazy busy at home and work. This is my 'pressure cooker' week when I have multiple meetings to either run or organize and this year I am adding a presentation to 120 or so folks on Thursday. Haven't written it yet. Yay! No, not really yay, LOL... trying to stay positive because tonight I burned a piece of paper (from where??? I have no idea) on the 'new' stove (less than 1 year old) and in the process of swiping the burning (yes, burning) paper away I melted some of the towel (a microfiber one) onto the glass surface. OMG - SO MAD!!!!
Spent an hour and a half scrubbing and soaking and scrubbing... looks better but not 100%. Can still see some of the pattern. So talk about adding stress to the evening. DH had planned for me to go to bed early. Ha. It's 9:15 and I haven't even started getting ready for tomorrow, much less working on the presentation or enjoying some downtime. I won't be home much again until Thursday evening. Sigh...
On the plus side, after multiple phone calls I finally got him in to see a cornea specialist. He needs it for his eyes... if I can see the scratches on the cornea with my naked, middle-aged eyes with my progressive glasses sitting on top of my head, it is an issue. He goes in Friday... sure beats mid January!!!
Working out some - although between some various events my sciatica (or lumbar area - not sure which) has gone crazy. I have lax SI joints, which I know. I've had tightness in the muscles in my low back, so what. But this time I actually had a pop the other night that nearly sent me crashing to the floor on my knees. I could hardly take a step for a minute. Now I have occasional glute pain on the right and shooting nerve / muscle weakness on the left hamstring, inner thigh. Saw primary yesterday and had x-rays today to see what they can see. Started steroids, muscle relaxant and anti inflammatory and it is helping a lot. Thank goodness!
Missed you guys!!! Will check back later.
