Thursday morning greetings!  Richard and I both got up early this morning when neither of has to be anywhere and when we're not expecting the bathroom work crew.  The one morning this week we could have slept late...

I hate how that happens.  For me the morning I have to get up early is often the one I was finally sleeping.

[Jane]

Aren't you hungry?

Not so much.  I pretty much ate too much anyway, so when I started eating "normal" amounts, it really is enough...for the most part.

But you still eat whatever you want to eat?

Not exactly.  Last year I started losing weight without trying, and then my hip started hurting and no over-the-counter pain releaver really helped, so I went to the doctor for the pain, and told them about the weight loss.  My mom had been at me to go to the doctor because of my weight, and because family members from both sides of my parents' families were diabetic, I decided it was time to deal with it.  So, I finally was officially disgnosed.  I've mainly have been reducing the carbs (although, I probably haven't been as diligent as I should), so that's really what has reduced my calorie intake.  I'm on medication (not insulin), but I haven't done much exercising...yet. 

George I do not remember that you were diagnosed with diabetes.   I hope eventually you can get off of the medication.

This totally feels like a Saturday.

Everyone's here, snow day and all.  I trust a few of you others are at home, too.

Such as, for starters.... vixmom, I hope?

Yea, the boss actually admitted while driving it that it was really too hazardous and told us to stay home.  I have been on the phone and emailing all day with banks and the boss trying to keep things going along

Still working though.

Thanks.  I hadn't mentioned it before, so that's why you don't remember.

Topic of the Day:

just about any recording by The Manhattan Transfer
just about any cast recording with a score by Stephen Sondheim
the original Broadway cast recording of Ain't Misbehavin' (there are other cast recordings, but this was one of the first Broadway cast albums that I ever chose on my own to listen to...mainly because of the cover art...so it holds a special place in my heart )

[John G.]

I forgot Mahler's Titan, Symphony No. 1 from my list.

I am glad you are doing something about it.

Good news/bad news/frustrating news 

[Jane]

It is a good thing I put the call that came in on speaker phone so Keith could also hear it.  I thought the person was a recorded message and almost hung up on her   Keith took the phone from me.
