Sunday, November 5, 2017 – Sweet rest is what I’m doing right now. Trying to be kind to myself. I’m a side sleeper. They tell me after surgery I will have to sleep on my back for at least six weeks. That’s going to be tough but I will do it. I want to make sure everything goes accordingly, right. Miles Moved: -0-
Monday, November 6, 2017 – Two days here to get everything done that I can possible get done at work. Trying my best to tie up all loose ends so I won’t worry about anything. Finally got the end of the month stuff done – yay me! Miles Moved: 1.05
Tuesday, November 7, 2017 – Everything is completed now at work. Bag is packed for surgery and I am ready to go. Now, what do I want for my last meal tonight? That is the most important question today. Miles Moved: 1.53
Wednesday, November 8, 2017 – SURGERY DAY
Thursday, November 9, 2017 – WOW! Now MTV friends you know I did a lot of research for this surgery but nothing prepar d me for the pain. Omg. The pain from the past couple of days have been horrendous. If I had secrets, I would quickly tell you them all in detail. Miles Moved: -0-
Friday, November 10, 2017 – Had my pain meds tweaked and that has made a huge difference!! And I’ve got to see them for the first time. They are amazing!! I’m loving them and the are bruised and swollen. Can’t wait to see them once they have settled. Miles Moved: -0-
Saturday, November 11, 2017 – Its pretty much sleep, eat something, pain meds and back to bed routine here these days. It’s a happy schedule. I can go to the bathroom by myself now. Yay! And getting up and down is not as bad. Miles Moved: -0-
Thoughts for the week: the new norm is one day at a time I’m on the other side of healing now. Bring it on!

Sunday, October 29, 2017 – Cleaning, cleaning and more cleaning. What a day NOT to wear my watch. They so need a housecleaning icon to track your movements – LOL Miles Moved: -0-
Monday, October 30, 2017 – So much to get done at work being the end of the month right before my surgery. God give me strength! Miles Moved: 1.01
Tuesday, October 31, 2017 – Halloween! I dressed up like a fox. I think people at work enjoyed it. My tail was long – giggles. Just brought a little fun to work. I even wore it out to eat tonight with the hub unit. Got several laughs from people. Miles Moved: 1.18
Wednesday, November 1, 2017 – Pre-op is tomorrow. I’ve packed all of my garments to be reviewed by the doctor for surgery. Kind of getting a little nervous now. Miles Moved: 1.06
Thursday, November 2, 2017 – Pre-op was hilarious. The doctor went all Picaso on my chest drawing with a permanent marker showing me where my scars would be. Really fun getting this off later. It took me over an hour – LOL. We went over the surgery, the do’s and don’ts of the night before/after surgery. Garments looked fine but we will see more during/after surgery. I need to be at the office at 7:30am for prep. Shit is getting real now. Miles Moved: 0.78
Friday, November 3, 2017 – Worked late trying to get everything done and caught up at work. I’m going to be so far behind next month. Sighs. It will be okay. I will make it. Miles Moved: 1.25
Saturday, November 4, 2017 – Stayed home most of the day cleaning house and waiting for Blue Apron delivery… which never came might I add 😦 That’s another story for another time. Miles Moved: -0-
Thoughts for the week: I want to thank everyone in advance for their lovely emails, cards, phone cards and kind words. I really appreciate and love all of you. You have brought a smile to my face during this time. If you could think about me Wednesday and say a little prayer. They are going to remove three lumps during my procedure with a breast reduction. They will be sending everything to the lab. We pray for the lab to come back negative. Thanks my friends ❤

Sunday, October 22, 2017 – It’s getting kind of hard to move now but I’m still treading along. It’s amazing to look back and see how much I was walking and feeling great vs now without my RA meds. They really were working! Soon after surgery I can take them again which I’m really looking forward to at this moment! Miles Moved: 0.98
Monday, October 23, 2017 – Mission accomplished. Today I wanted to finish my Australia pictures and get them made into photo books. I did it! Of course, it took two books – LOL. There were so many wonderful memories to make. Don’t worry – I will be sharing them with everyone in the next couple of months. Miles Moved: 0.74
Tuesday, October 24, 2017 – Trying to get a headstart on my end of the month/beginning of the month accounting at work. I want to make sure everything rolls and is good to go starting 4th quarter before my surgery. I will be out of work for a total of 12 days, including the weekends. I then go back to work for 3 days (the week of Thanksgiving) and then I’m out again for another 4 days. I think this is completely doable with my surgery and my doctor agrees since basically I have a sit down job. Keep your fingers crossed for me ❤ Miles Moved: 1.02
Wednesday, October 25, 2017 – Do you ever have days you wake up and just want to snuggle back down for another couple of months – LOL? That was all of us this morning in the king size bed. It’s starting to get a little cold in the air now – YAY! Just enough cold in the house that we were all heated by each other and was all comfy. I could have slept for another couple of hours for sure. But I got up and went out to work. Yay me. I get extra points for that, right? Miles Moved: 0.74
Thursday, October 26, 2017 – Paperwork – it’s going to kill me. I’ve accepted that. Started going through my personal spreadsheet that I keep up with for taxes. Yep, I’m anal like that – it’s the nerd in me. Better to start it now than to wait until the last moment. Miles Moved: 1.44
Friday, October 27, 2017 – Looking forward to another long weekend – only one more weekend after this one before surgery. We are going to run a few errands but other than that, rest is on the menu. Miles Moved: 1.40
Saturday, October 28, 2017 – Do you ever think about how much heat your anipals put out? And how hot their little tummies are? It just brings a smile to my face thinking of them. Especially when they are all snuggled up to you sleeping, tummy exposed without a worry in the world. Safe and content. Exactly how they should be. Miles Moved: 1.59
Thoughts for the week: As I said last week, no more videos this week about the upcoming surgery – LOL. I’m trying my best not to even think about it and to focus on family and friends right now. The more I do that, the better off I am. If I think about it too much, I get a little freaked out and anxiety peeks into my life. I’m trying. Next week 11/2/2017, is my pre-op. Keep my fingers crossed dear friends. I appreciate all of your love, advice and good thoughts sent my way. ❤
This week walked: 7.91
TOTAL 2017 Miles: 503.22 (I could have walked from Atlanta, Georgia to Gainsville, Florida)

Sunday, October 15, 2017 – Running a few errands today and trying to get some shopping done before my surgery. Lots of little things to get for preparation. Just trying to make sure everything is ready to go. I did find a bed rest today – go me. And it’s cute, pink and fuzzy. Should be fine for sitting in bed or on the couch during my surgery. That is if I can keep Houdini off of it – LOL. Miles Moved: 0.67
Monday, October 16, 2017 – I’m having a hard time with moving/walking these days. I’m off my pain meds in preparation for surgery so each day is a challenge in itself right now. But I’m moving slowly like a turtle. Miles Moved: 1.74
Tuesday, October 17, 2017 – Can you believe Halloween will be here in a couple of weeks? I’ve got to get started in finding our costumes for the Hotel Thompson. Shaking my head. Where is the time going? Miles Moved: 1.22
Wednesday, October 18, 2017 – I’m slower than molasses today but I’m moving. The cold is starting to set in here in the south – finally! It feels good on one hand but it’s making me slower on the other paw. But I’m moving on slowly and surely. Miles Moved: 0.90
Thursday, October 19, 2017 – I’m moving bit by bit but I’m moving. I can’t wait for surgery just to get back on my medicines for my RA. You don’t think you need them until you don’t take them in preparation for surgery. Oh my gosh – I *need* them – LOL Miles Moved: 1.24
Friday, October 20, 2017 – Slow day today. We have lots of errands to get done tomorrow. Any takers want to do them? Miles Moved: 1.09
Saturday, October 21, 2017 – Well that is one way to get some movement in – errands. But I’ve got lots of things to get done and out of the way – specifically this weekend is to get all of the Australian pictures completed and start blogging about that amazing trip. You do want to hear about it, right? Miles Moved: 1.25
Thoughts for the week: Sometimes we get all stressed over things to come. I admit it. I’ve done and am doing the same with my upcoming surgery. But you know what? It’s going to happen regardless of my stressing or not. So really why stress? My body is going to go through enough stress in healing so why add to it? I know that is easier said than done but really it’s the truth. And we all love the internet and the things we can find there – it’s an endless fountain of information. BUT, some things we don’t need to research any further. I’ve done my homework on my surgery. I know what is going to happen. I know the trauma my body is going to go through. So tell me why I watched another video of the actual surgery this week? eeww – that just about freaked me out. No more. Paperwork is signed and done. Payment is done. No more watching videos on the surgery!
This week walked: 8.11
TOTAL 2017 Miles: 495.31 (Shooting to break 500 next week!)

Sunday, October 8, 2017 – It looks like we are all getting better here at the Hotel Thompson – YAY! The hub unit had the cold and then he so nicely gave it back to me again. A family that shares together, right? Hopefully this cold is behind us now… I hope. It’s raining outside today and the next couple of days so we plan on getting rest. Miles Moved: 1.10
Monday, October 9, 2017 – The rain has come in and settled here for a couple of days. I kind of like it. We haven’t had rain here in some time so it’s nice to have had it these past couple of days. It’s that time of the month to do my statistical monthly end reports. I foresee me getting these out of the way this week and just trying to maintain. I may not be moving much but at least my eating is still good. Miles Moved: 1.14
Tuesday, October 10, 2017 – aarrghh – I can’t believe I didn’t put on my Apple i-Watch this morning. I felt so naked all day and had to depend on my i-Phone to calculate my movements throughout the day. I have been one of *those* people – addicted to their i-Watch LOL. Miles Moved: 1.00
Wednesday, October 11, 2017 – The paperwork continues at work. Should be finished with everything tomorrow. The hub unit is doing so much better – yay! He just has a mild cough now and that is getting better each day – thank goodness. Miles Moved: 1.10
Thursday, October 12, 2017 – YES! Finished the month end paperwork. Now I can breathe. It’s 4 weeks from yesterday until my surgery. It’s getting closer. I’m getting my medical compression garments in now, trying to clean the house, trying to get some meals frozen that will be easy to put in the oven to warm up and tying up loose ends for the time I will be out of work. Miles Moved: 1.32
Friday, October 13, 2017 – Trying to play catch up at work with things that took a second seat while finishing month end reports. I’m so ready for the weekend! Miles Moved: 0.67
Saturday, October 14, 2017 – Ran a few errands today to get out with Jim. I’m still trying to find a bed rest for my bed to use after surgery. Any ideas where I can get one? They use to be everywhere and now they are hard to find. It’s the bed rest cushion/pillow that you lean against in bed to sit up and read, etc. I can’t lay flat for a while so I thought this pillow might help a bit. Miles Moved: 0.55
This week walked: 6.88

Sunday, October 1, 2017 – Did not even put my i-Watch on today to track anything. Why? It’s hard to track anything when all you are doing is laying in bed – LOL. The man child was sick therefore we stayed down most of the day together trying to feel better. Miles Moved: -0-
Monday, October 2, 2017 – Day 2 of the man child being sick continues – LOL. He may not make it. It must be something serious because he’s on death’s door. You know nothing tastes right. He’s sneezing. His eyes are running. OMG – he has a COLD! Call the authorities. Call Hazmat – LOL. Seriously the poor guy has a lot going on and just needs his teddy bear and his mother if she was still alive – bless her heart. Not moving much today. Just taking care of the sick. 🙂 Miles Moved: 1.17
Tuesday, October 3, 2017 – Man child is still sick but moving more. He has no sense of humor during this time so I hold my breath and count to three a lot – LOL. He requested soup tonight – specifically chicken noodle soup. I made him some like the good wife I am – quit laughing. Gave him a bowl and it was too hot. Put an ice cube in it. Then it was too cold. Warmed it up a bit. Then it didn’t have any taste. Put some additional pepper in it. Then it was too spicy. Added more stock. He then ate it and went back to bed. Will I make it through these trying times? I had called our family doctor earlier and she called in some medicine for the man child and gave me her condolences – she knows the man child too well. After dinner, I medicated the man child. First time both of us slept the entire night all week. I love our doctor. Miles Moved: 1.63
Wednesday, October 4, 2017 – Came home from work and the house was semi-destroyed. Just how can anipals and a sick man child make such a mess when all they are doing is laying in the bed all day? Breathed in, cleaned up and kept smiling. Man child wanted actual food tonight. He might survive this after all. Made him some eggs and toast. He actually enjoyed it. Miles Moved: 1.36
Thursday, October 5, 2017 – Day 5 of the man child being sick. Please God help me get to Friday this week. I need a weekend to recoup from his sickness. Man child wanted Moe’s for dinner. He’s not running a fever anymore – thank goodness. We went to Moe’s. He ate most of his dinner. I’m impressed. I might be getting my husband back soon. Miles Moved: 1.32
Friday, October 6, 2017 – I don’t think I’ve ever wanted a Friday so badly. We are both in desperate need of a long weekend of nothing – just resting. Weekend – bring it. I am so ready! Miles Moved: 0.98
Saturday, October 7, 2017 – Being a couch potato becomes me – LOL. No really I have to get moving next week. Surgery is scheduled one month from tomorrow. Miles Moved: -0-
Thoughts for the week: This week there was sickness at the Hotel Thompson. It’s okay. Sometimes you need to slow down, let your body rest and just ‘be’. That was one of those weeks. Next week, we bump it up a notch.

Sunday, September 24, 2017 – Back to world of the living. What an awesome vacation in Australia. We had so much fun and there is so much to share. What an absolutely beautiful place. But today – today we unpack and wash a gazillion clothes to get ready for work tomorrow. Joybells! Miles Moved: to 1.27
Monday, September 25, 2017 – Back to work today for a half day. This afternoon I go to my regular doctor to get medical clearance for my upcoming surgery. Afterwards, I will drop everything off at the surgeons office. Miles Moved: 2.19
Tuesday, September 26, 2017 – Everything is set to go. My doctors visit went well and my regular doctor gave me her blessing. One less thing I have to worry about it. Miles Moved: 1.38
Wednesday, September 27, 2017 – I feel like me and Jim are trying to come down with something. We got our flu shots Monday. However we were on the plane stuck for a long time with other people who were sneezing and coughing. I can’t get sick! Miles Moved: 1.56
Thursday, September 28, 2017 – Okay. I’m sick. Shaking my head. It was bound to happen. Yuck. Running nose, sneezing etc. Of course some of it could be jet lag still. Miles Moved: 1.32
Friday, September 29, 2017 – I decided to be nice to myself today and take a sick leave day. I stayed in bed for what seemed like all day sleeping. I really needed it. Miles Moved: -0-
Saturday, September 30, 2017 – I feel better today. But no Jim is sick. Shaking my head. We are so taking this weekend to sleep and get better. Miles Moved: -0-
Thoughts for the week: A little over a month is the surgery day – November 8. I have to feel better and hit the treadmill hard in this month of October I got this… I think

Sunday, September 10, 2017 – Lots of errands today but also lots of rest 🙂 There will be time for a lot more walking in the week. Miles Moved: 0.80
Monday, September 11, 2017 – Thank you Hurricane Irma. Thanks to you, work was called out today. Which the only thing good that you brought was today off so I could finally pack for my trip. Australia here I come. Miles Moved: 1.25
Tuesday, September 12, 2017 – Go day! Airports are busy. Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson Airport is huge. First part of the trip, Delta Airlines Atlanta to Los Angeles, California. I have never moved so fast running through an airport in my entire life. Oh my goodness. All of the training I’ve been doing paid off today. What a run! Miles Moved: 3.23
Wednesday, September 13, 2017 – The good thing about today is this – we skipped today in traveling – LOL. You see Australia is what like 14 hours ahead of us so in flying we kind of skipped over Wednesday right into Thursday. And really how much walking could you have gotten on the plane anyway, right? Miles Moved: 0.15
Thursday, September 14, 2017 – Life in the air… no walking here. We sat and watched movies and walked a bit to/from the bathroom but that was about it. My behind was beyond asleep by the time we got to the land down under! But what an awesome time it will be for the next week. Miles Moved: 0.54
Friday, September 15, 2017 – Happy Anniversary to us and Happy Birthday to Bacon. What an awesome way to celebrate our anniversary today but in Australia. Game plan – lots of walking, sight seeing and a great anniversary dinner tonight with friends. Miles Moved: 2.69
Saturday, September 16, 2017 – What an awesome day!! Let me tell you something, Fozziemom can cook! Today all of her kids were over and she cooked the bestest meal ever. It was simply delicious. Not much moving around except walks around the property looking for kangaroos – LOL. They know I’m here so they are hiding. Miles Moved: 1.86
Sunday, September 17, 2017 – Today we went through some older mining areas in Australia. What a beautiful place but so very sad! So many people gave up everything to start their lives mining for gold and then lost everything never getting what they came for. So sad! Miles Moved: 3.38
Monday, September 18, 2017 – So many places to explore in such a short time. How will I ever see everything? Is it even possible? LOL – Of course not. But we are going to try our best for sure. Miles Moved: 3.15
Tuesday, September 19, 2017 – Slow rest day today. We are going to need it – lots of things planned for the rest of the week. Miles Moved: 1.31
Wednesday, September 20, 2017 – Yarra Valley here we come – LOL. The Yarra Valley has lots of places to explore – dairies, chocolate shop, and we are staying tonight at Oscars on the Yarra. What an absolutely beautiful place! So quiet. You can just sit and relax. Close your eyes and just listen to the different birds, relax and destress forgetting everything. What a beautiful place! Miles Moved: 3.06
Thursday, September 21, 2017 – Today’s agenda – Healesville Sanctuary. What a beautiful sanctuary. I never thought I would get so up/close personal with so many beautiful Australian animals. Absolutely wonderful day here. Miles Moved: 4.55
Friday, September 22, 2017 – Can you believe that this is the last full day here in Australia. It has gone by so fast! Today we visit the Yarra Valley Diary and the Yara Chocolaterie. I may never fit on the airplane going back to the USA ever again – LOL. Miles Moved: 3.37
Saturday, September 23, 2017 – We leave this morning. What an absolutely amazing time we have spent in Australia. I will never forget my time here. Now I prepare for the long plane ride home. YAY! Miles Moved: 1.58
Thoughts for the week: Even though we were traveling in an amazing place, we still got some exercise in. AND I didn’t do too bad eating. In fact, who can say they go on vacation to an amazing place like Australia and end up LOSING weight? In the past couple of weeks, I lost 8 pounds. Amazing! Still on plan and working towards my goal. Thanks my friends ❤

Sunday, September 3, 2017 – Day of rest – LOL. My RA is trying to really fight me these days. I’m going to win though. As soon as this RA realizes that, I will be fine. So for today, I’m treating myself nice. I plan on resting today/tomorrow. I need the rest. This hurt has to go away. I have way too many things to get done this week. Why? Well there is a certain surprise that will be revealed the end of next week. Curious? LOL Miles Moved: 0.80
Monday, September 4, 2017 – Rest…rest… and more rest. Okay I did do some things like housework, laundry and quality time with the babies. And I did schedule in a nap somewhere in the day. My RA pain is about a 7 today compared to off the charts last week. My hips hurt so bad they feel like they can break. I’m moving slowly but I am moving today. That’s always a good sign. Miles Moved: 0.79
Tuesday, September 5, 2017 – I’m being nice to myself this week for lots of reasons. The flare up is still here. I felt like for a bit today I was trying to get a cold. But then again, that could be from my immune system being challenged. Then we have our ‘surprise’ coming up. I need to be 100% for this surprise. It will all be revealed soon. Just be a little bit more patient my friends ❤ Miles Moved: 1.13
Wednesday, September 6, 2017 – Irma the Hurricane needs to go away like NOW. It’s going to interfere with a lot of things if it hits this far inland. That’s all I can say right now. Boo Irma! Miles Moved: 1.28
Thursday, September 7, 2017 – Okay Hurricane Irma is not looking good at all anywhere. Hurricanes suck big time. It’s already leaving such tragedy in the bahamas. Why? Why do we have to have these horrible things of nature? Miles Moved: 1.73

Thoughts for the week: Can you feel that my friends? The BIG surprise will be revealed towards the end of next week. It’s huge. Well, it’s huge for us. I think everyone will be shocked. I can’t believe we’ve been planning this since Christmas and that none of us have spilled the beans. Soon my friends. Soon all will be revealed.
