FRIDAY Randoms!!!!

[abcdefu]

Good Morning and Happy Friday!

I can't wait until I can start physical therapy. I'm scared to step on the scale because I know I have gained weight. I have been eating everything in sight, probably because of boredom. What can I say? I love cookies! mmmm

ETA: I forgot to add: I was preparing all of my paperwork to file my taxes. I had over $10,000.00 in medical costs! HOLY ISH! That total includes copays, medications, tolls, medical supplies, and mileage.

::tries not to think about the awesome vacation that money could have been spent on::

Are you starting PT soon?

I'm glad you're so positive!

I find out on Feb. 10 if I can start. I am hoping the infection (and the pain it decided to bring with it) is gone by then. I'm on 2000 mg of antibiotics per day right now, so I'm hoping that will take care of it! I would really like to be back to work first week of March, so I am doing whatever I can to try and make that happen!

My boss has been awesome and doesn't care if I have to start back working half days so I can do therapy in the morning. So that is a positive!

I cannot believe my son's passport came yesterday! It hasn't even been 2 weeks and it's supposed to take 4-6 weeks. So I finallybooked our cruise last night!! I'm so excited. I haven't been on a cruise since 2003 and it's my son's first. Now I just have to book the hotel for the night before we embark. It's a 6 hour drive so I want to come in the day before. Plus I have a college friend in the city we are leaving from so I hope to spend some time with her. I can't wait for March!! 5 more weeks!!

abcdefu yay for PT, I had a crazy knee surgery and had to wait 6 weeks for PT (and then went for a little over 6 months) which was hard. That's also awesome that your work is being so understanding!

I ended up in third place for the pie in the face thing I mentioned in yesterdays thread, but I am still going to get a pie. The top three all raised over $400 a piece, so we all agreed to take the pie. It sucks because my makeup game is on point this morning and I will have to redo it after the noon meeting where the pie throwing will take place.

I am done with the bowling guy, he made a comment last night which made me ask about his opinion on gay people and I was not a fan of his answer.

abcdefu yay for PT! And yay for an understanding boss

I got the go ahead from my boss for all 3 of my requested vacation days. And XH has agreed to watch DS for me so I can travel with my brother to his races this year. Yay! Right now it looks like Chicago for one and Winnsboro, South Carolina for another. He is hoping in the next year or two to make it a race out in Vermont. Now just need to find people to watch the dogs.

[Eureka1984]

Yay abc!!! I am glad you are staying so positive.

I'm happy it's Friday! This morning, at dunking doughnuts a lady paid for my coffee starting that trend of paying it forward.. I did the same!

I need to get my emotions in check with the dentist. Thankfully I have achase to text when I freak out and get scared and try to push him away. Feelings are scary, yo. I've also been really honest with the dentist about things which makes me feel better that he's understanding and he's also scared. But now I have that nagging "you have too many issues cut it out before he decides he doesn't want to deal with you" insecurity going on. My issues have issues - great!

Glad you're feeling positive abcdefu.

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Yay, happy Friday!

I'm looking forward to a weekend of just hanging out. BF has been too busy at work the last couple of weeks to text much because of state testing so I have missed him a bunch.

I always feel so wiped out and groggy after DS's swimming lessons. The pool is indoors and it's literally at least 90 degrees I that building. My glasses fog up immediately and it just makes me feel blah. But he's really enjoying them.

Omg just found out Sharknado 3 is a go. This has officially made my day!

OMG bl!  is your knee better now? 

The therapy is mostly for my gait and balance, which the surgery couldn't cure. I fall A LOT! I think part of it is that I am clumsy and get dizzy often. I am hoping therapy can correct it!

My boss is seriously the best!

Its 95% better now, but will never be 100%.  I was jumping on a trampoline and dislocated my knee.  Ended up I tore all 4 ligaments, the patella tendon, the capsule, and severed the nerve.  Had three surgeries in all, went to PT for 4 hours a day for 3 months then 2 hours a day for 3 more months.  I still can't bend it to touch my butt, it hurts after being bent on a plane ride, and I will probably never be able to run any real distance, but all things considered I am happy with the outcome.  I grew immensely as a person thanks to that experience, so I guess all things happen for a reason.

Physical Therapists (at least in my opinion) are amazing, mine was equally a counselor and motivator.  I am sure they will be able to help with your balance and gait.

My little one has the nasty cough that's going around. She says she feels ok but I'm keeping her home to rest, mostly because this is their weekend with their dad and I know they will get zero rest there.

Work has been so crazy stressful, I'm hoping to unwind this weekend.

Glad you're feeling positive abcdefu.

For the record-I liked this for this. I love that SO texts other SOers in these scenarios.

As for the insecurity-EVERYONE is insecure in a new relationship.  It's a weird time.  "OMG, does he like me?  Do I like him?  DO I like him more than he likes me?  Is this going too fast?  too slow?  AHHHHHHHHHH!"

[seabitch]

Yay for positive abcdefu! You have this girl.

I had a horrid day at work yesterday and came home really angry at Senior Management for their part in it. Happy to report that I am over it, and back in the game. Notice I said over it .................not that I have forgotten it. I like to keep on smiling, it makes them wonder!

Snowmobiling this weekend with my besty!

mcc, I hear you on the emotions in check, it can be such a wild train ride.

I put on my c-cup bra this morning and it was obscene! Since soccer season ended I gained weight, mostly in my boobs! I guess I am going bra shopping this afternoon..

[pantsoffdanceoff]

I am getting close to starting my period and today I have gone between wanting to cry and then wanting to slam/throw things. I will do neither because I am at work, but the desire is most definitely there.

Yay for Friday!!! This has felt like the never ending week so I'm glad that the weekend is almost here.

Going to a basketball game with a guy I have been super casually dating tonight. Last weekend he told me that he didn't know if he felt like he was in a place to date someone right now. That makes me sad but at least he is being honest. He has spent the week thinking and I'm sure we'll talk a little more about it tonight. Who know what will happen but I'm determined to have fun at the game no matter what.

I'm moving into my new place on Sunday! Yay!! Eeek!!! I have quite a bit of packing left so this week will be spent doing that. Not super fun but it will nice to just have all the house craziness over. Then I close on my house sale sometime mid next week. Yay!

[WinterIsComing]

Glad you boss is being so understanding abcdefu!! I love how positive you have been through all of this!

I was supposed to have a phone interview at 11 but...she never called. I''m a little annoyed because I planned my day around this. Now I don't know how long to wait for her? I have stuff to go do...

The "Hard Work Olympics" is happening at my office. I am not competing.

There’s a good chance I may get to meet Luke Bryan a week from Tuesday before his concert.

I’m a member of his fan club (hey, I wanted pre-sale tickets!) and they had a giveaway on Tuesday. I refreshed the webpage incessantly and got the form to enter my info. When I hit submit, it took me back to the main page where I saw my number of “eligible meet and greet passes” went from 2 to down to 1. (Each fan club member can win 2 meet and greet passes per year.) From everything I’ve read on the message boards, this means I won a pass!!! But, I won’t know for 100% sure until a few days before the show when they email the winners.

I really hope this happens. I never win anything.
