LOVING the rain we've been getting it will be a lazy day for me today....woke up with a migraine so my meds make me pretty loopy and groggy but it knocks the pain in an hour.

still "floating" from the talk i had with the 9th grade class about self injury. Of course i'm my own worse critic, and wish i'd said things differently but you know how that goes....

sending positive thoughts and prayers out to our family here.

Of course Goofy, we are always our own worst critics,

Highly recommend this movie The Way

Looks wonderful Wren - I just started on the Sugar Busters diet a week and a half ago. Am trying to resist all sugar - wish me luck!

Great scott Barb -- you're a brave woman! I waddle around thinking of TOPS but instead bake more cookies for the kids at church.
I just finished a batch of regular chocolate chip (but using dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet), Milky Way stuffed peanut butter and some chocolate covered cherry cookies. Well, I finished the dough -- I'll do the baking tomorrow morning.
hee hee .... maybe I'll join TOPS tomorrow afternoon!!

I'm so sorry you have such pain to deal with and I can imagine that it gets totally unbearable for you. I figured you weren't OK. I'm so glad you told us outright. I'd not seen that thread, I'm sorry. Like I said in PM, I wish I could take away that horrid pain. Hang on there... hang on tight.

Edited to add: If I could I'd take you to the appointment myself, not that I'd be much use I guess. Apart from the fact I'm in a different country. Please ask for help that day, maybe family could change their plans all things considered... you will need someone with you. I don't mean to sound bossy, but please don't go driving yourself to that appointment!
