  1. Morning my friends, haven't been on much lately, sinus infection has had me down and out lately :( Hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday. Back to lying down for me, well after everyone is fed of course.

  2. Oh, I'm sorry you're not well, AZDebra! Hope you feel better soon!
    I'm hoping SM feels better, too - she sounded like she was pretty sick last night.

    We've got people in the gym!!! Big Boss wanted the trainers to come take a class he was teaching this morning and he's been mentioning it to the regulars and others to get them into the gym. Well, we've got three other trainers, on comped PD guy, one trainer's girlfriend, one friend and two paying customers! Not a good turnout! Big Boss came up to tell me to get paperwork ready because he was expecting a lot of new people coming in for this - there isn't a single new person in the class!
    Yesterday I found out they've changed the towel orders - no more shower towels - we're down-sizing to the smaller ones. Also yesterday, I was told not to turn all the lights on in the gym, so we can save on electricity. (as a result, two people who came in last night told me they thought we were closed because it was so dark here!). The head of the trainers grumbled to me this morning about how we need to get people in here or the place is going down. I think even Big Boss is starting to realize he's got to stop spending and needs to lower the prices he raised two months ago to get people in here.

    How is everyone today? Any exciting plans for your Saturday?

  3. Oh brother, they're filming the class!!! They should have made the trainers wear regular clothes and look like customers :)

  4. Hi everyone I have missed!!!

    Deb I am sorry you are not feeling well. Lay down and get better. ((deb))
    GD I am glad you had a good blankie session with Bobby. I hope he gets better.

    Maddie got up and had to feed her now we are getting her dressed. We have to run to Target and Aldi's then we have to install the baby car seat in the car..whoopie!! It's 65 degrees here so better do it while it's warm.
    I will be in and out all day so everyone have a great day.

  5. Hi CM!!! I'm getting so excited for you about Abbie's impending arrival!!! How's Maddie taking it?

    Posted 3 years ago by GreatDane #

  6. I don't think Maddie gets it GD..We asked her if she wants a baby sister and she said no.

    Posted 3 years ago by cricketsmama #

  7. Uh oh!!! :)

    Posted 3 years ago by GreatDane #

  8. Uh oh! :) I think Maddie gets it too well. She may already be jealous to Abbie Fishy!

  9. Is there anything to eat in the cafe today? I'm getting hungry.
    Weird morning at the gym - noone here for the first hour and then just the two paying customers who participated in the class. My first regular worker-outer finally just walked in the door and we've been open for over two hours.
    I'm hoping people are away or this doesn't bode well for the place!

    Posted 3 years ago by GreatDane #

  10. Morning Ladies....Hope everyone is staying warm! Guess that's not a problem for you where you live GD. I'm sure things at the gym are probably slow due to the holidays. It seems that all reg. deals and schedules are off over Christmas.
    CM..I can't believe how close things are to Abbiefish's arrival! Sounds like you and Wayne are totally ready for this...Maddie may be considering the return option that goes with so many new packages this time of year...Hahaha! I'm sure when she sees her new little sister she'll be ecstatic.
    AzDeb..Sorry about the sinus infection..they're so painful. My mom used to get them and they can really get in the way of your day.
    Miu..Sounds like you're starting to feel a bit better. Keep warm, fed and dry sweetie!

  11. I think it's definitely slow during the holidays, Kasren, but I thought some people would come and work off their Christmas feasts. Guess not.
    I wqas going to go clean the dentist's office today, but I really don't feel up to it. I think I'm going to go walk the dogs after work and then go get a thermometer for Bobby. That should keep me occupied for a while :)

  12. Good morning all!

    CM I always hope that I will see news that you are on the way to the hospital and Abbie is on the way! She will be here soon.

    GD that gym is crazy! I wish you could open your own--or a tennis center would be better!

    Miu you had better sleep--it is NOT overrated! You get run down then you are like me! Rest and take time now or your body will revolt and you will get really sick!

    Deb are you on meds? Don't let up on the infection it can spread from your sinuses. They are miserable.

    KAREN!! How are you doing?

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  13. Hi SM! I was just going to ask you the same question..I read an earlier post that spoke of you going to the ER?? I've been missing lots on TDK lately so I'm really behind. I'm doing fine though. Watching my diet, trying to get more exercise and still chipping away at my smoking. It's cold and snowy here though so I'm not getting as much exercise as I should. :)

    Posted 3 years ago by Karenopa #

  14. Avoiding ER at the moment. I have no fever this morning and I am about to eat and egg. Hubby cooked and egg and cut up an orange for me. I have flu but think I will recover.

    I am so proud of you! Cutting down is amazingly difficult! You won't believe this but I got a Yoga kit for Christmas! I have been told that it will help with flexibility and isn't as jarring as aerobics. I'll let you know how it goes.

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  15. Well SM..it seems the older I get the more I pay attention to the recommendations and remedies life is providing us with. I'm thinking about getting into some colon cleansing products or preferably natural food remedies. Think I'll look into the juice book. I'm sure I can get some help with it there. Sorry you have the flu and am glad our hugs are only cyber cause girl..you have the cooties right now! Hahah! I'd be interested to know how you perceive the Yoga...I've never been into it but hear good things. {{{Hugs}}}

  16. Oh no, SoxMom!!! Please get well quickly!! We gotta ring in the New Year!! {{SM}}

    Posted 3 years ago by SammyandOliversmama #

  17. The colon cleansing is good. Because of polyps that I have had to have removed and that they were found to be precancerous, I have to have regular colonoscopies. I would whole heartedly embrace the natural foods and remedies! You are right I do have cooties! Hubby is barking like a seal--I think he might be coming down with bronchitis--go figure I shared!

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  18. I'll be ringing in the New Year chaparoning a group of teens. They are going on a scavenger hunt (early to be off roads before the loons are out!) and then having a game night. We will have a wonderful time. It is a pretty tight group of kids. I am cooking for them. Hubby will be working.

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  19. Hi Helen! I thought you were gone to Jacksonville already!!! Glad you're not gone yet..I get to say "Have a Great Trip"..."A Safe Trip"!!!

    SM...That sounds like a really fun way to welcome in the New Year! Scavenger Hunts are so much fun! Teens have such an infective energy! That should get you back on your feet 110%!

    Posted 3 years ago by Karenopa #

  20. I ate and egg and it hasn't shown itself again--good news so far!!

    I agree with Karen! SOM you need to have a safe and enjoyable trip!

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  21. Oh GD...I can't get this digital thermometer for Bobby off my brain!! You poor thing! Will there be anyone there to help distract Bobby? Maybe some 'To-The-Elbow Oven Mitts' would be in order! LOL! I know..not funny subject. I sure hope Bobby's temp is good. It only takes 15 seconds to get a reading they say. Thank God it's not like the old days!!!! {{Hugs}}

    Posted 3 years ago by Karenopa #

  22. Good Morning! I hope Bobby gets better soon, GD! I know he will come through! :)

    Posted 3 years ago by Catfancier #

  23. My vet told me 15 seconds, too, Karen! He said go with a digital, don't attempt the regular one - it'll take 3 minutes! Even with mellow Bobby I don't know if I'll be able to do this, but I'm going to give it a try if it'll help him.

    SM, no new gym for me, thank you! Once I escape from here, I doubt I'll ever want to set foot in another gym ever again!!! A tennis center would be nice! Seems my old boss/ex may have been a bit shady in getting the contract on the tennis center renewed and I'm SO hoping that'll be enough for my friends to finally convince the corrupt county to give the contract to them. If that were to happen, I'd be back working a job I love!!!

  24. Back from the store and we are all eating lunch. Target wasn't busy at all and there were really no good deals, so we got 3 things we needed and got out. Went to Aldi's and stocked up on some groceries.

    Posted 3 years ago by cricketsmama #

  25. SM, I had better not hear you even mention the word "barfing", or any other word that means the same thing. *wags finger in a stern manner*

    GD, Mr. WWM can sympathize over the having to take Bobby's temp. When I was in nursing school I practiced everything on Mr. WWM because he was...well, handy. Every day when I would come home from class he would look very resigned and ask what we had learned that day. The day that I came home and he asked, and I grinned and said "how to take a rectal temperature" was the day that he took up marathon running :-) Happily, I was able to practice on the dummy at my college of nursing. No, it was not another student - it was a plastic dummy.

  26. Will not go out unless forced. I think I am doing better, although right now I am about ready to fall over. I feel a little drained.

    Posted 3 years ago by SoxsMom #

  27. Well, I'll bet that you feel drained! Can you drink some flat gingerale or ginger tea? Flat is better so as to not feel bloated from the bubbles.

    Posted 3 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  28. Hi, WWM and SM! I'm just checking in. We are going to travel to see my Mom and siblings in Vancouver, Washington, so I need to get ready to hit the road.

    I'm sorry you've been ill, SM. That is no way to spend the holidays!!

    Posted 3 years ago by Kitten Whisperer #

  29. Be careful, KW!!! Are the roads better today?

    Posted 3 years ago by WillowandWindismom #

  30. The roads are (finally) fine. We've had lots of rain and well above freezing temperatures in the last 24 hours so the snow is disappearing to the north of Eugene, which is the direction we are going to be driving.
