It's been awhile since I've been on, life has been busy. My 16yr old son got a job and it's been an involved process, I am a proud mama for sure. He has a four hour orientation tomorrow a few towns away and since driving for that long in the car hurts me, his father is going to drive him. While he is there the hubs and my 17yr old son will go to the in-laws and play cards while they wait. I will stay home and if I'm lucky and the smoke lifts I'll get a long run in outside. If the smoke doesn't life I'll go to the gym and get my run in there...ugh!
In other news...The sciatica is still here but not quite as bad...I still cannot sit for long without significant pain but it's all good. The acupuncture helped a lot with some of the other symptoms of the sciatica so it's all good. I'm done with acupuncture for now, but may try it again in the future if need be.

Godspeed...this comes from the Middle English expression "God spede (you)", a wish for success and fortune for one setting out on an enterprise, voyage, adventure, or travels. It may also mean good luck.

ReplyDeleteYou say 80 pounds lost? Well done. I admire your determination. (Just reading your list of accomplishments wears me out completely.
ReplyDeleteThat 80 pounds is what I need to lose; perhaps a bit more. But, if I did, would I be a less substantial Bear?
