Hello everyone!
Yes, I'm here. I haven't even looked at the boards for weeks - thank you for thinking of me. With my first splint on, typing became a real pain so I just didn't bother. I got a new smaller splint two weeks ago and that's made things easier. Then last week I came down with a bad cough which laid me low - also my mum came to visit and was ill, DH took a week of work sick and DD had tennis elbow! It's just all been a bit much and there have still been ongoing family problems (which look like they're being resolved at last). So apologies for panicking any of you and I'm really touched
I just counted up my workouts for November and I've managed 10 in total - you can imagine how I feel about that!
Roxie - I gather that a big change is looming! Will you still be in the same state? (US ignorance here!) Is the place you're moving to bigger or smaller?
Lisa - sounds like you've been having the usual hair dilemmas!!
Mary - iPhone - my DD would be so jealous as well!! Even I am finally coming round to the idea of a smartphone (mine is from the stone age!!)
Hi to Jody and Murphy!

First let me start with, yesterday I had a monster headache, ended up having to take a migraine pill. This morning I started GS CT, with the push ups came the headache so I went to the bench press section, still headache was coming on, I thought maybe I need to eat, let me finish chest (hoping I don't get the headache to the point of no return), ate, head felt good, ok, I can do the triceps, they don't demand as much effort, right away....headache, did dips, started extensions, decided it wasn't worth risking a bad headache all day so I quit. I HATE quitting. Especially because the scale is finally going in the right direction! grrrr
Ronne, so glad to see you here! Sounds like you've had a lot of issues between you and the fam.
My DS20 wants to make a soft, snuggly quilt for his GF, you know what that means, right? I get to make it. He is soooooo picky so the hardest part is going to be coming up with a concept. I think the cold weather is kicking in here, a snuggly quilt sounds lovely. Darn I hope this headache goes away again because right now I feel like curling up, good thing I got wise and stopped my w/o.

Yay! Ronne is back! We missed you and we were getting worried. Hope all starts straightening out! Lisa, hope you feel better. I hate migraines! I get a vision aura with mine, I never mind the headache because then my vision goes back to normal and I am grateful. Roxie, tomorrow is the day you resign? Will be thinking of you. Jody, how's classes going? Hi Murphy! Today did HR, that tricep section is a little ugly! Have a lunch with my T/W students today, still have this week and next with my Th/Fr group, so I had better get moving! Have a good day! Mary

Good Morning,
I started the day off with computer problems but they are solved now. Tonite for me is CLX Push Circuit 2 and maybe TF HiiT 15. When everything is official they want DH to start work on Monday so he is going to have to stay with his sisters girlfriends mother if that makes sense so guess who gets to start doing all the packing?
Ronne-its in the same state and in the same area of the state 1 and 1/2 hours south and east of here. It is a much smaller town they have small university where this town has about 26,000 students. Sounds like you have had your hands full.
Lisa-good job listening to your body and stopping your workout.
Mary-it will be the longest 2 weeks of my live boss lady is going to be so pissed and bitchy that I might not even finish it out.

I finished up the T part of GS CT tonight. Going shopping with DIL tomorrow so will be a late checkin.
Mary, I've only gotten aura twice the first time I got it, once I got the headache I was like 'ah, so that's aura!' I'm going to Lush again tomorrow, told DH, what do you think he said? ......drum roll....he said, can you get more of all that good lotions (yes plural) I've been using, I really like it and that way I would feel like I could use it more generously! I think he's hooked too (we are such dried up old prunes). Oh, got an estimate on hearing aid, OMG, 4K! Next appt for that is Tuesday, we will have a demo to try out. Stinks getting old!
Roxie, that is some creative living arrangements! Hope all goes well with the boss, why do I feel it's silly for them to get so mad about it. Sounds like you are going to have your hands full for a while.
Waves to sick Murphy, injured Ronne, and busy beaver Jody!

Good Evening,
I didn't get a workout in tonite we had to pick up boxes from dds workplace and then we got bubble wrap and tape. I haven't told dh but I am having some chest pains so apparently I am stressed out. I decided that if boss lady gives me to much crap I am getting out.

Hi all
Lisa - have fun shopping - glad the headache didn't take hold. don't fret about the lost workout.
Roxie - wow, your boss would be that angry about you going? It can't be too hard to find new people at the moment surely?
Mary - I'm envious of you doing HR - I can't imagine what my arms will be like when I pick up a weight again!!
No workout for me - met a friend for lunch, even better!

Ronne-you have no idea how pissed she is going to be. They have been trying to retire but people keep quitting on them I am the only one that stayed and I am sure she can replace me but she has a personality disorder in other words she is bi-polar so it doesn't take anything to set her off.

Roxie, this whole change might all be for the best for you. It's amazing how some people are, I had a run in with a bi-polar boss once, OY! You are stronger than them so hold your head high and embark on this new adventure!

Roxie, take care of yourself, moving, job changes, packing, financial, even grandbaby has an element of stress.
Lisa, what are you shopping for? oic,lotion.
Mary, how many days in Vegas? have you been before? I've not.
Ronne, great to see you. I have had at least 2.5 months of 10 workouts per month lately, if that. Ick.
Murphy, I hope you are doing well.
I did Drill Max today, hair cut in a bit

Jody, what am I not shopping for? I love their lotion so much (and DH asked for more), I want to try their lip balm, the sample of R&B hair treatment I loved so getting that---I like to scrunch a little in my hair when it feel dry after a long drying day in Colorado. They have a new hair item called Roots for thin, fine hair, it intrigues me. I thought Ronne would be all over this Lush stuff since they are in the UK and they get products there before the US does.

Hi girls! Today I did a new one, Michele Olson, perfect legs and glutes, (I think). Anyway, I am I search of those! It was a little hard! I think they will be talking to me! Lisa, you are in love with Lush! So fun the your DH likes it too! Makes it so much easier to shop! Roxie, how are you doing? Moving is one of the most stressful things in life. Good luck tomorrow! Will be thinking of you. Ronne, your upper body will be surprised when you start lifting again! Jody, DM? That one is at the bottom of my pile! How's the hair? I get to go on Monday! Well, have to get dinner going, have a good evening! Mary

Hi all
Roxie - well,k at elast you know for definite now and can just get on with things. Good luck with the boss!!
Jody - good to see you! That does make me feel a bit better!
Lisa - I'm not a great Lush fan. I buy their stuff now and again as presents but that's it.
Mary - so what are you ferrying the kids around to this weekend?!!
Went to physio this morning and I've got my splint off! Just got a tubular bandage for when I'm out and about but I'm now typing this with all 10 fingers. Got to leave it a couple of weeks before lifting weights but I'm going to try higher impact stuff from next week (but no burpees, push-ups etc). I should be able to start driving again as well. I'm SO pleased!
Out for dinner with a friend tonight - it's our Christmas get-together.
Have a good weekend everyone!

Happy Friday! 1/2 day off for me. Had a nice time yesterday with DIL. Spent too much at Lush again (doesn't take long), but now I have some nice lotion/exfoliators and got a couple of lip scrubs for my boys SO. I was exhausted and fell asleep on the couch last night so then I couldn't get to sleep when I went to bed, so slept in late and therefore no w/o (I deserve a break, right?) Tonight DS20 will be coming over as he wants to go look at fabric to make a quilt for his GF (you know that means I make it).
Ronne, maybe I like their stuff because I live in such a dry climate. This is the only stuff that has made my skin feel good without clogging. Wow, didn't realize you couldn't drive, it must have been a doozy injury. Oh, I also got a couple of MAC lipsticks, DIL gets 60% off so I got 2 for less than the price of one.
Jody, how's the haircut? Good to get in a couple intense w/o's like DM that way you don't feel like such a bum.
Mary, I'm still searching for the perfect body! LOL The scale continues to move in the correct direction. whew! I think my body likes heavy weights (and no ice cream).
Roxie, Now you can move forward, the waiting's always the hardest part. How did boss lady take it?
Murphy, are you under the weather?

Good Afternoon,
The bosses are in complete shock and don't really know what to think. They went to lunch to talk. Boss lady wants dh to live in a motel and leave me here to be close to GS. Tonite is CLX Push Circuit 3, TF Hiit 15 and abs. The lady my Dh was going to stay with isn't comfortable with that so he will have to stay in a motel until we can find some place to rent.
Lisa-sounds like you had fun.
Ronne-I would hate not being able to drive, glad to hear you are on the mend.
