<---forgot to pick up a copy of Fitness yesterday
<---wonders if y'all know Cathe is in it?
<---will be back in a bit...
 
<---thinks everyone is sleeping in or already on their way to %&*$( meetings
<---had a not-so-nice sleep last night
<---thinks congress should declare me a Natl Park, put up a sign "Old Faithful" and invite the public to watch me hot flash every two hours
<---says it may not be pretty, but it is pretty amazing
<---has been wondering how Bisquit is doing?
<---is going to go swill one more mouthful of coffee before heading to work
 
<--- waves to Robin
<--- is thrilled to hear about Cathe in Fitness mag!
<--- just finished 4DS LIS
<--- is LHAO at Robin's Natl Park status ;)
<--- is also wondering about Bisquit and Muffie and whether they've stopped fighting and how B's recovery is going
<--- is soooooo glad that it's Friday
<--- is off to peruse for a moment
 
<--is so happy its friday:)
<--is going to my DD's school this morning to have "muffins for moms" with my DD
<--feels like a muffin lately;-)nice and fluffy one
<--will be grocery shopping after that
<--will also be buying a copy of fitness soon
<--hopes Shelly has fun persueing
<--hopes Robins Natl Park Status makes her mucho bucks
<--sends her a soothing wind
<--will be doing a 30-45min PW with a side of LB and some abbs thrown in there,to spice it up;-)
<--is off to put make-up on :eek:(yuk)

<--Wants everybodies opinon on a decision <--and DH have to make! Will leave arrow talk and try to make it short..

ok,since my DH took a 2nd shift job(3-11) ive been having these emotional breakdowns about twice a week. I told him(begged)to find a 1st shift job. He's been applying all week for one,he gets a call back and goes on an interveiw yesterday. The job is less and hour and alot further away from our house. The job he has now is the most he has ever started out with an hour and its like four miles from our house.

Now were kind torn between to the jobs? it doesn't make sense to go backwards as far as his pay goes,and drive further away with gas prices like they are? And the job isn't exactly 1st shift,its 10-6:-(

And the funny thing is, i think i can handle the job change now...ive come to terms with it! We both made a decision last night for him to just stay at his job now and I will have to try and control my emotions? I did go to the docs about it and he prescribed an anitdepressant which i have yet to start taking.

do you guys think we made the right choice???? Should i start taking the anidepressants?


<-- will bbl after <--'s workout
 
<--- thinks that if Amelia has come to terms with the second shift hours and can handle it without emotional breakdowns, DH should stay with his current job, but still keep his eyes open for a day shift job closer to home
<--- doesn't think Amelia should start with the anti-depressants because it seems clear to <---, anyway, that Amelia is not depressed but was just stressed about DH's work situation
<--- thinks doctors are often quick to prescribe without looking at the whole picture
 
<---waves good morning to all
<---hadn't heard that Cathe was in Fitness(';-)')
<---LOL at Robin's National Park Status
<---wonders what Shelley has planned for the day
<---wishes <---had some good advice for Amelia
<---thinks they made the right decision for the way the economy is unfortunately going right now
<---knows 3-11 is a hard shift and it does take a while to get used to
<---wonders if, down the road, he would be able to switch shifts
<---sends hugs to Amelia

Beth http://www.rykat.org/forums/style_emoticons/default/arrowhead.png

ETA<---agrees with Shelley about the anti-depressants
 
<-- waves GM to all
<-- is bummed about starting another work week(end)
<-- shouldn't be bummed because <-- gets 3 days off in a row :+
<-- still doesn't have enough time to do everything <-- want though
<-- ate like a true idiot who didn't give a rats a$$ about <-- health the past couple days x(
<-- had a emotional breakdown and breakthrough about it last night
<-- feels better and has a plan in place :)
<-- got tax rebate today, but it was less than <-- had figured
<-- is happy to get anything right now
<-- LOL at Robin's National Park Status
<-- says National Parks are very well cared for ;-)
<-- thinks Robin may be onto something :p
<-- totally agrees with Shelley's advice to Amelia about anti-depressants and hubby keeping 3-11 job
<-- can empathize with Amelia's frustration with DH's 2nd shift
<-- wonders what Beth has planned today
<-- should get busy doing something work related at least for a few minutes :7
<-- bbl
 
<--runs into thread saying, "OMG...<--HAD NO IDEA CATHE WAS IN THIS MONTH'S FITNESS!!!
<--will take an OAL field trip to nationalrobinpark
<--waves hello to shellers and asks if she has organized the OAL organization world tour yet
<--tells shell to start soon because, apparently, there are many OAL'ers that need a visit(*jumps up and down wildly waving hands*)
<--thinks amelia and mr. amelia made a good choice
<--thinks the gas, coupled with the hour drive, along with the drop in pay is probably not worth it
<--and linus would come help miss amelia
<--says gm to beth
<--will be going on a field trip today with 27 middle schoolers
<--says we are going to the lake/park for the day
<--explains it is an "award day" trip for the ESOL (english as second language) kids
<--mostly korean kids, one israeli, and a couple of others (latino, chinese, etc.) but in <--'s area has mostly koreans moving in because of the quality of the schools
<--will be able to learn more korean (and the kids are bringing food...yum!) as well as practice <--'s hebrew!
<--LOVES the esol kids...they are so sweeet!!!
<--is bringing linus and possibly baloo
<--thinks they will have fun with the kids (and the kids asked for them)
<--will probably not w/o today
<--kinda maybe hurt <--self when <--was attempting to take loaded olympic bar (75#) off squat rack and on the floor to do deadlifts
<--will never try to move a 75# loaded bar
leaves oal speak to explain:
i had just loaded my smaller bar at 60# and it was on the floor. i went to get the 75# bar to put on the floor for deadlifts. so, i went and got it off the squat rack onto my back...all good. not the part when i tried to lift it over my head and onto the floor. it was too heavy and i had to basically throw it over my head and onto the floor where it landed in an "x" position across the other barbell. when i did that, i had to get my head out the way or it would have been between the two barbells. anyway, when i threw it, i knocked my head in 2 places and have a giant knot and bruised the crapola out of my shoulder. not fun. the lesson here is: do NOT load the barbell BEFORE it needs to be moved to the floor. i will now be loading it on the floor PRIOR to deadlifts.
<--says, enough of this novel
<--tells youse all to have a GREAT friday
<--will be on field trip
ETA:
<--waves to connie!!!
 
<--waves good morning to all
<--says that things are all calm on the fighting issue with Muffie and Bisquit for now
<--and Bisquit is recovering well as far as <--can tell
<--she bears weight sometimes and limps sometimes
<--does PT with B three times a day LOL
<--'s work week was absolutely crazy
<--thought if I saw another rash yesterday I was gonna scream!
<--now mind you <--expects to see rashes, but I swear every patient I saw yesterday had one!
<--sends a fan and some ice to hot Robin
<--wonders if Shelly is packed for the RT already ;)
<--thinks Amelia and her DH made the right decision
<--also thinks Shelly is right about still keeping an eye open for another day shift job
<--waves to Beth and Connie
<--just realized that when <--meets Lorie next week will probably get to meet Linus!!
<--knows youse guys are jealous about that!!

<---thinks she has learned her lesson though ;)
<---LOL at "Old Faithful" Robin
<---wonders if they will set bleachers around her workstation like at the real Old Faithful ;) and hang a sign up with the next hot flash show (thinks that sounds kind of naughty)
<---is sorry to hear about Amelia's DH job situation
<---had read a little about it in the BFL thread (which she has not been good at posting in) and is sending her hugs
<---says that <---'s DH is also searching for another job and knows that alone can be stressful on top of the stress from the current job
<---will be sending Amelia tons of hugs and knows they will make the best decision for them

<--- hopes lorie enjoys the field trip - sounds like fun
<--- salutes Robin and her National Park status
<--- hopes Connie's work weekend flies by
<--- thinks Shelley had a fun workout today

<--- wonders what Beth is up to today?
<--- has been deskunked (c Robin) and feeling happy about it
<--- is planning to do an easy workout this afternoon - an old Karen Voight sculpting DVD !!!!!
<--- is also looking forward to the weekend: is going clothes shopping all day with BF tomorrow (with a break for a long lunch ;) maybe with a glass of something fizzy ...) then we're all going to her house for dinner tomorrow night and staying over. weather forecast is good so we'll be out in the garden sipping g&t!!:7
 
<--wishes all a very happy fried-day!
<--thinks Robin should speak to her gyn re those awful hot flashes if they're actually interrupting her sleep
<--is also wondering about how Bisquit is doing
<--thinks Amelia's DH should stick with the 3-11 job
<--thinks that not only is he making more $, but he has a lot more time at home if he has almost no commute
<--thinks Amelia will adjust to the change, and will likely find some advantages to having him around during the day
<--says as for antidepressants, if the "doc" is Amelia's regular internist <-- would just ignore her and see a psychiatrist
<--is a great believer in better living through chemistry, but only if the chemist is a specialist in her area ;)
<--sends happy interview vibes to Liann's DH!
<--is STILL busy planning this vacay!
<--is a detail freak :p

<---is sending lots of (((((HUGS))))) to Amelia
<---can only imaging how stressful that must be

<--- is sending interview vibes to Liann's DH
 
<---sending Catherine non-fluorescent mahogany vibes :)
<---forgot to mention that she watched "The Orphanage" last night

(Movie Review Time)

Brief Synopsis: A woman who spent time in an orphanage as a child with 5 other children buys the orphanage as an adult with plans to make it into a home for special needs children. Her own son is dying of HIV although he does not know it. After moving in, her son claims to have 5 imaginary friends who want to play a special game with him where they take something important away and leave clues that he must follow to find the item. Shortly afterwards at the opening of the special need home, the son mysteriously disappears. She is convinced his imaginary friends have something to do with his disappearance and has to follow the clues to solve what horrible things happened at the Orphanage in the past so that she can find her son before it is too late.

<---says it is in Spanish with subtitles but got past that easily
<---adds that it is a movie that tries hard to convince you it's going to be a horror movie, but it isn't really(was more like "The Others" and relied on a lot of "Peter Pan" themes) - it's actually rather tragic and bawled through the entire ending
<---says that there are supernatural things going on, but the real issue is not supernatural and it's actually a rather tragic twist towards the end
<---came upstairs all puffy and red eyed and DH had to calm her down
<---says it actually had a "good" ending though, but it's the kind that makes you cry anyways
<---will probably force DH and DM to watch it this weekend
<---DISCLAIMER - warns that there is one scene where a woman gets hit by a van and if you're squeamish, just look away for the rest of the scene cuz' the director didn't hold back on what her face looks like afterwards. Aside from that, a woman cutting her leg on some coral, and a woman's hand getting slammed in a door (which ends up making her fingernail fall off - that disturbed me more than anything else in the entire movie), there really is no "gore". Oh and only 1 cuss word in the entire movie and you only know that from the subtitles! ;)

(End of Movie Review

<---says that next week she will be reviewing the brand new article in Fitness Magazine
<---adds that Cathe is featured in it!
<---hopes Ronne has fun at her sleepover! :)

<---wonders if Liann's review of the Cathe article in Fitness will be in fitness?
<---is glad Amelia feels better
