    Oh Bb sometimes I wish I could live in my car and no have to pay rent lol or have to clean my apt and do all that it takes to have a place. Sometimes I feel like I have no more energy that reminds me tmw I must go out for a drive . Haven't drive for a week and I feel I must take the car out 1 a week at least they say is not good no to turn on the car for too long.

    ha ha ha bb welcome to my team lol

    I stopped caring about it years ago.

    I feel I have lost all the romantic Spanish girl I use to think I was. Now I can't care less for anything that has to do with love.

    But I do enjoy seen the romantic movies like just to dream a little ha ha ha but ya is brutal how life can just have such effect on us. I read msg that say we are stronger than life and we changed cuz we chose to. Well I don't agree I feel bb we changed cuz life just kept on coming hard on us with no warning so we couldn't be ready for it ?

    Is all OK I am liking the bad ice I have become lol

    Hi ladies- still in Vegas and heading home this afternoon. We had a great time here. My surprise of the trip was to find out Diana Ross was performing at the hotel right downstairs so I went on Friday night. My sis and partner were too tired from the drive in so they opted out.

    OMG , what a show and her voice and glam are just over the top! The audience was up and dancing and went crazy with love for her.

    Some of the best pics of the night. I was 8 rows back from the stage!

    HI ladies. Hope all OK

    I just got back from school I passed my exam this time better mark so I am really happy got 81 then he evaluated me wrong so got 3 more points so I got 84/100

    I also got a massage on my upper back today and well let say the guy may have fixed me up or made it worse lol no sure yet everything hurts now. He was really good. He also told me that it seems due to all the massage and therapy been done on the right side that I have tensed up the left ? Kind of made sense he says is like I have been competing some how .

    I will work late shift tmw so I ll get to sleep in and thanks the universe for that.

    Bb not sure what happen but hope u and the boys are OK.

    Sending u all hugs

    Hi ladies- quick check in. Busy week catching up since getting home from my trip on Monday.

    BB- thinking about you and hope things are stabilizing for your son. What stress this is for you to deal with, but know you said your son has struggled with this for awhile. Hugs sister.

    E- good news about getting a better grade than expecting. I was totally a "B girl" when I did my accounting classes during the MBA I started years ago. You are doing well friend. Keep up the good work and glad you got a massage too.

    Lily- are you doing better and is your breathing improved? Do you use an inhaler for asthma? I have had a lot more issues with my asthma the past few years.

    June- hope you are doing okay and things with that boss are better?

    I went to a biz lunch with one of my local partnering firms for work yesterday. I am creating a plan B in the event this other work with the collaboration team does not come to fruition soon. I feel there will be something there down the line, but not soon enough. Got another meeting on that next Friday with them, and wanting to be back to making money in March so will assess after the call if we are ready. Turns out one of my other clients here in town may be needing help soon and don't have contacts there anymore as we have not worked together for awhile, but can work through this other group for them too. I make a bit less money that way but get paid faster? Will see what direction we go next.

    HI bb. I am glad things are OK

    Regarding your tests Humm I think it makes sense that the stress is causing trouble.

    Is terrible what stress can do to us. My family is OK they are waiting for things to change and we all know it will take at least 100 years for our country to be what is was. It's been bleeding for 18 years now and no an easy fix.

    Communism has taken all including the hope of the public the students are now more than ever getting involved and that will be hard to watch the students been kill in the street but they are the once whom maybe be able to succeed at getting other countries involved in helping the country in the past it always had open arms with the rest of the world now it needs help.

    I am OK just trying to study and keeping my mind off other issues

    Sending u a big hug bb

    Good morning ladies- back from my second yoga retreat, this one was local so I was able to come home and sleep in my bed fri and sat nights. Back in a retreat center we used to go to here in town years ago and just perfect. Some people I knew, other new friends. The yoga retreats have really been helping me to get restored and I feel more open and clear now to move forward with the next steps with my work and some other things in life. I am very grateful for my yoga practice and the yoga community here in my city.

    BB- I think giving the trauma program a try is really worth it. I respect the need to not discuss anything further here on family issues as well.

    E- very sorry to hear about the continued troubles in your country of origin. I fear the entire planet will become ruled by communists or fascists very soon.

    June, Lily, Simplicity, and everyone else here, wishes for a peaceful Sunday.

    Hi June- good to hear from you. Let us know any interesting movies you are watching!

    Enjoy your downtime before the push to the deadline. I know that world only too well.......

    BB- retreats are so great and many times, parts of families go on them. Hoping your program can offer you some good ideas there. They really do help!

    Watching some old movies on TV today while I work on a presentation for a talk I am doing this week at a technology group in town. I think there is a new series on HBO starting tonight called Big Little Lies. Going to check in out, I tend to like the HBO mini-series.

    I met a woman at my retreat who developed insulin resistance and we talked a lot about food and the importance of protein. She was vegetarian for awhile and that made her insulin go high. I did vegetarian this weekend, but they had things like cheese and beans for protein. I won't say the food was particularly good at this retreat center, very basic. But the leader got our feedback on that for next time.

    One day won't hurt you with the ravioli and cookies. Check your blood sugar in the morning to see what all that does to it so you know. I heard the Girl Scout cookies were out and about.....

    BB- I know one vegan and she is also gluten free person so food is just a big problem for her. Those pork chops sounded very tasty!

    And I don't beat myself up when I eat some goodies, nor should you. Every personal trainer I have ever worked with, and even my nutritionist said the goal is to be mindful the majority of the time, let loose a bit from time to time. I did so last weekend while I was out in Vegas, indulged in more carbs than I normally do including dinner at a lovely Italian restaurant with a fab pasta dish. Tonight I am making some shrimp in a lemon artichoke simmer sauce with a low carb pasta.

    I am seeing my endocrinologist a week from Tuesday and think she will be pleased as I have lost 8 pound since I saw her end of December (basically 4 pound a month). Now I just need to keep this going.....

    BB- I am insulin resistant which means my body cannot properly process the sugars in my body. Therefore, it results in excess weight in my abdomen. That was a precursor to my diabetic situation. I thought this was happening in my 40s, had all the signs of it but my primary care doctor was checking my fasting blood sugar and it was fine. Then along came the A1C and it became clear I was heading towards diabetes.

    My endocrinologist is working with my meds along with ensuring I am doing my part to exercise and eat property to get this all back in balance. Most of my weight is around the middle, which is insulin resistance. We are working to get the blood chemistry back in to balance and that will help my metabolism. Kind of complicated but this plan is working?

    Maybe find out about the trauma program and what is required and how soon you can get in? Then you can talk to your family and see how they can help your mother while you do this. Maybe get through the back surgery first and then go to the trauma program? Maybe your mom can go spend time with your sister for awhile? I think it will be difficult for you to do any of this with the ongoing elder care. You will be in a better place to help your mom when you are feeling better?
