Hi Kathy! and all! I guess Chris is on the way to the dreaded meeting. 
We lost our internet connection last night, but somehow Larry got it working this morning. So far I can't get much news on the fire, but it seems like there will not be school. I cannot imagine how they would do it -- the main road in here is closed in places.
Unfortunately, because I had no idea about things, I did not work out. I slept horribly, so when I finally fell asleep I just stayed until I had to finally get up and get in the shower just in case we had to be having a regular day. So, now I'm showered and homebound, I think. I may do squeeze later, if I can get the kids ok with it -- I don't think that makes me sweat too much! Not sure if we'll be able to be outside very much -- the smoke is definitely closer this morning -- a little nerve wracking since we don't know if it's just smoke or if it's fire.
that's all, folks.... hope you are having a good Monday, all things considered (Chris).

Just a quick post...
Chris, I'm so sorry about the job situation. That just sucks.
((Beth)), yikes on the fires. I'm praying it stays away from you...
I somehow hurt my back...haven't worked out in a couple days.
I'm running over to the hospital. My dad had some problems last night and they are doing some exploratory surgery today...not sure what's going on...
Take care all.

Wow, this is a sad sad group today! (Hope it's not catchy for you, Kathy and Hottie!!)
I'm sitting here drinking a coffee after 2 hours sleep after working all dang night, readying myself for the trip to hear about my pay getting cut back to squat. I'm not so happy.
I asked my supervisor if I really needed to attend the meeting since the news traveled fast this weekend at work. She said I really should (in a stern/mother kind of voice).
I just dread sitting there listening to her and others give their freakin speal about how they hate to do this, blah, blah, blah, blah. Talking right out of their damn hats.
Sorry for venting...
If I feel good or needing to get out some stress when I come back later, I will do a cardio of some sort. It is my "Recovery Week".
Beth: Stay safe there!!! Praying they get the fire out soon!!
Joanne: Oh no on your back and dad! Let us know what happens.
Kathy: Hope you got a good workout with DISC 16!!!
I'll BBL

Chris, I was thinking the same thing about our group today! Yikes! Joanne, I'm so sorry to hear the news about your dad -- I hope all goes well with things today! Are you taking the day off work, then? And, are you taking care of your back, or just resting it?
Chris, I somehow keep holding out hope that maybe the news isn't as bad as you think it's going to be. I hope I'm right......
I ended up taking the kids to school -- it's open, and it seemed like the right thing to do. I think they need some "normal stuff" rather than just staring at the smoke all day. I think Dylan was genuinely afraid to go to school -- Travis just wanted a day off!
Hang in there, everyone!

hi guys -- nothing nearly as terrible as going on with you guys. just a migraine and a tickle in my throat. I stayed home a little later hoping to get some energy but I didn't. So, STS will have to wait until later. I'm super freaking fat too -- just been eating crap and too much of it. my boss isn't here so maybe i can take a nap or something. i pushed off an experiment since my friend came by last night so its a bit easier of a day for me.
Kathy -- enjoy the STS workout! Whip those kids into shape!
Beth -- I wonder what it will be like at the school for the kids. I remember going to school during blizzard season and it basically being a long studyhall day. Maybe its different when you're younger. I hope they take care of the fire soon.
Joanne -- I hope your father is ok!!! I"ll be thinking of you...(like everyone else here too!)
Chris -- oh, that just sucks. it's the waiting that stresses me out more. And for a pointless talk too. All I can hope is that she's going to surprise you with good news.
Ugh, migraines...

Hey Guys...
The news was as I suspected, really. They're doing away with the Weekend Bonus Program all together, starting January 10th. At least we can get through the holidays, I guess.
They did give us "options". And none I can commit to because of the uncertainty of Greg's job and hours. And needing "night care" at the drop of a hat.
The best I can do is work my usual weekend hours, and try to pick up hours as needed each week. We're going to REALLY have to cut back on buying stuff, though. I've never really "budgeted" my money. I 've been lucky enough to buy whatever struck me (though I am conservative with my purchases usually). So, no new workouts for a WHILE. You guys need to make me stick with that, ok? Why do I have a hard time thinking about NOT getting any new ones?? (Can you say addict??)
Hottie: Hope you're feeling better!! I can't imagine getting through anything , work or a workout, with a migraine. ... And I also stress ate this weekend... Got into the Halloween Candy on Saturday AND Sunday. I feel like a large piece of Halloween candy right now!
OMG, I also had THE saddest patients this weekend, to add to my "issues". God, they were so young and so sick, and scarey (a guys back pain turns out to be metastatic renal cancer to his spine). Geesh. I need a drink!!!
