Hey Maria. So sorry you’re feeling anxious. I think if you’ve prepped for your surgery, you will be fine, but I’ll still be thinking of you and saying a little prayer for speedy recovery!

If your stomach isn’t in the mood for food, that’s ok BUT don’t forget to drink your water. Last thing you need ahead of a medical procedure is to be…[Read more]

Ate half a bagel this morning…mostly because they were there.

Had blood sugar drop just a short time ago.

Sigh. When will I learn?

Wow, that is super stressful. And I’m sure it doesn’t help knowing the teacher pushes his buttons.

I’m going to send positive vibes your way. Hopefully that helps. In any case, hugs, mama.

Yay! It’s Friday!

Wow, that tagging thing really worked out for me. Let me take this opportunity to tag a few more folks…

Oh…

How’s your day today? 😉

You guys are all awesome. That’s really all I have to say at this point!

@robin-miller this is your mid(ish) week sweep!

@sarahlareina this is your mid(ish) week sweep!

(That just means I’m going through and checking on everyone.)

How’s it going? You getting it all done this week?

Also did you save me some of the creamy garlic chicken??? 😉

Woot! Like I said on the support call, I love your “phased in” approach. I think you’re doing great!

You are so right! I’m glad you got something good out of both of these prompts.

You know one I had that I couldn’t figure out how to describe? Because we got so much rain late winter/early spring, everything here is so GREEN! But there’s like a million shades of green going. Emerald green, sage green, hunter green. It’s so beautiful to look at.…[Read more]
