I worked out on Friday and it was a good one. This weekend I'm working. Work is a downfall for me lately. This is the weekend on one of the nurses always brings in donuts. Wish me luck. I need to resist, because the first donut leads me down a destructive path. I'm funny like that.

Hi Kat! Nice to see you, how have you been?
Have a good weekend too Jahra! :)
Hi Tweet! I am doing really well, have been pretty steady mood-wise for a while, right meds, better self-care - yes the donuts DO CALL (or in my case, the Birthday cake...) ... but - I am more interested in preventive medicine, and in feeling happy happy joy joy (but not too much of it!) :monkeydance:
Hey Tweety - you are in the home stretch with school, then - congrats!
I hope you have a good workday. I was a bum yesterday - it was raining out and instead of doing the ellipse, I chose to be an all-around bum (no housework, schoolwork or exercise). I rarely do that, but it feels good every now and then!
I hope you all have a great day...I just got back from a run and am off to visit my parents shortly.
I meant the picture of the two babies that you have with your signature, it's adorable! What does the quote on that picture say? "They look like little angels when they are asleep but..."? lol - I took lots of pix of my son sleeping so when I wanted to kick him to the curb I would remember, lol!
((((((((((Sarah)))))
ROFL! Sorry! It says, "The good you do today people will often forget tomorrow: Do good anyway" It's from an e-mail I got, I knew it wouldn't be readable, but I sooo love the pic! :) Yes, I too have many pics of my kiddos sleeping.
Congrats Tweety - sounds like you did awesome, dispite your initial concern! Another 'A' - WooHoo!!! Great job! Enjoy!

Oh, ok! I was just being nosy Sarah LOL. It IS a great pic!
I have received the same email and I just adore it:
The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr Kent M. Keith
(Mother Theresa loved these...)
People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Yep, that's the one - I love it! I need to read it more often, every one is so true and so important, yet we tend to forget them in the hustle and bustle of daily life. It does me good to remember what life is truly about. :)
RN, I don't know about the "homestretch" as I'm still a year and many courses away, but I'm definately past the halfway mark now! So you guys have another year to listen to me gripe, whine and carry one. LOL
I'm a bit disgusted with myself. I went to the gym and forgot my book. I despise working about without something to read. However, the treadmills have TVs with all the good cable channels, so lucky me, I found one of those open, and it didn't work. So I get off and go home. Whatsupwiththat??? I couldn't stand a little boredome? I did have my music player I could have listened to music. Sheesh. Oh well, one lost day isn't going to kill me.

I do the same thing . . . . the cd player in the basement was missing it's cord (seems that it is the same one that also works on our video camera and #2 son borrowed it) and so I couldn't work out w/o music so I didn't.
Then I started taking a book down to read - that helped.
I get sooooo bored. I've taken to jogging at the high school again (just finished) and I take my ds who rides his bike but I used to listen to music or talk radio while I jogged and my "walk-man" is broken.

I had ALLLLL DAY to get to the gym and work out, and I DO enjoy it once I am, er... well at LEAST when I finish, if not while I am doing it.
(hugging Tweety) Don't forget there is stuff we can do at home too when we don't feel like going in! I haven't DONE any of it yet (welll except for a few stretches for my neck and shoulders, otherwise I'm in pain...)

Ever since they moved this I keep forgetting it's here.
Tweety, you deserve that day off. You've more than earned it.
