Great pictures Ruth. I've never been to the Kennedy Space Center. It sounds interesting.
Well, I'm cleared to go back to work - no longer contagious from the flu but not all the way well. I'm still tired and coughing. I got up early - about 5:45 and fell asleep in the morning and after lunch. 5:45 is not early on work days. I'll be leaving at 7:00 till spring break. After spring break, I think I won't need to leave till 7:30 but I'll find out Thursday. Tomorrow will be a short day as I need to leave at 1:15 for endocrinology appointment at 2:00. Surgeon is the one who told me to follow up with endo 6 weeks post surgery.
I sent to return to work paperwork to the pcp through the patient portal messaging on Friday. I called to follow up late morning today and they said they can't pull off the forms from there, that it needs to be emailed. I didn't want to risk it not being done, so I ran over the the office, fortunately it's only 10 minutes away and dropped off the form then picked it up after 4. It was around 5 when I scanned it to the HR person.
It is COLD today in Denver. We got 2" snow. High I think was 25 so it will be snow pants for my walk tonight. Tomorrow it will be 50.

Karen, I hope your first day back went okay.
Another beach walk today. I will hopefully get another one in tomorrow before we head for home.

Karen: I also hope today was an easy one for you.
Ruth: I've never been to the Kennedy Space Center and now I want to go.
Not a good weather day. Walked in the house.

Happy Leap Day all…
DH has been to Kennedy twice when coming with me on business trips to Orlando area…he loves it, but I haven't been.
70+ yesterday, only 49/50 today…the winter is "breaking" with warm spurts that are as yet unsustainable…although no one told the daffodils as they are blooming!
Will get to gym 4 times this week, one more week until spring break so next week is crazy with mid-terms and hoping to finish stuff up before break. TT

Yesterday was a short first day back as I left at 1:30 for endocrinology appointment. Appointment was more or less uneventful. She still wants me on calcium - 500mg twice daily. She said for post menopausal and over 65 it's important. If my calcium levels are good, then I won't see her again - at least not till I'm done the Zometa with my Hematologist. I had labs drawn this morning for my Nephrologist and will send the results to her.
Full day today. Over the two days, I've met with staff at the school I will be covering till spring break and then the one after spring break. They will be good assignments. I'm excited for the one after spring break. Also had an interview/meeting regarding a student. It was long and intense. I was working this afternoon and saw the health of the mental health department and we got to schmooze for a few minutes. She was my SW when I first started 15 years ago. She has moved up the chain of command and is amazing. For a few years she was my manager. I told her I just came back from FMLA and she was good for you for taking the time you needed.
Now, I just need to be not so tired at the end of the work day. At least this was a short work week - 2 days, but the next 3 weeks before spring break are full work weeks for me, my regular 4 day weeks.
My insurance approved my sleep study for 2 nights. It will be done at home. The sleep center had to get an extension on the pre-approval. They are sending me the equipment on Monday and I should have it by the end of next week. The gal said to use it the night I get it and then again the next night. I'm curious what the results will be and then next steps.
Ruth - beautiful sunrise. Sounds like you had a nice girls week. I'm guessing by now you are home. Hope your weather isn't too bad. It is nice here for the next week. March is our snowiest month so time will tell what the weather will bring.
Going to get ready to walk with DH. Sweet dreams.

Karen, I am watching the news right now. I hope your weather isn't as bad as the conditions I'm seeing on the TV.
I've been unpacking, going through mail, washing clothes etc. I am tired today!

Ruth - Denver's weather is nice low 60s today and high 60s tomorrow but windy. The mountains are getting the snow.
I'm tired too. If I sit too long, I can fall asleep.
Have a good Friday night and Saturday

Sleep all weekend if that's what your body needs, Karen.
I must have been tired because my fitbit says I slept for 9 hours last night! We are invited out to brunch in a few minutes, so I will do something for exercise later on today.
*edited to say that I walked around the track at my fitness center for an hour.

Karen: Hope this week isn't too busy for you at work. Let us know how your sleep study turns out.
Ruth: Happy Birthday! Hope you did something fun and exciting to celebrate.
Today also happens to be my dd's birthday. We had lunch at a bar with several of her friends. So much fun!

Happy Birthday to DD, Wonderland! DS & DIL took us out for a nice, long lunch and gave me a big bag of thoughtful, clever presents. DH gave me several gift certificates; and Bruno gave me one to his favorite coffee shop (where they give him pup cups if I drive through & order something). It started to snow & get really windy mid-afternoon, so I've spent the rest of the day reading a book and relaxing! Tomorrow I will be back to my regular routine.

Happy Birthday Ruth…and beautiful sunrise pic.
Well, my DH tested positive for COVID on Thursday evening last week…so since my last post I have been sleeping on the family room couch and trying to stay well. I have tested several times and remain negative.
The weather here in southern Virginia is currently a 10 day string of cool mornings (30s-40) and 60-65 degree days…really just perfect!
One week until Spring Break at school, lots to do, but also the promise of being able to catch up next week.
Got to the gym 4 days last week, this week looks about the same…really prefer to go 5 days a week, but there are only so many hours in the day…when I have to take mom to a Dr appt, adding that to my day is usually at the expense of the gym…so try to up the walking.
We vote tomorrow in Super Tuesday…which doesn't seem very Super this year, except that my mom does get another chance to vote and that is making her day. We are at the point of celebrating all the small stuff, Yeah - made it to March!, Yeah - get to vote again. It is actually both a very sad time and a time of mindfully being grateful for the small stuff.
Happy Monday everyone! TT

TT, hope you can stay well, and that DH doesn't get too sick.
Glad your mom gets another vote; and yes, celebrate all the 'small stuff'……that's whats most important in the end.
I went to Zumba this morning, spent 3 hours running errands etc. I still have stacks of 'catch up' to do, but am making a dent. I think I will go back for Pound this evening.

Ruth: Bruno gives the best gifts!
TT: Sorry your dh has covid. Hopefully your distancing will keep it away from you especially since next week is Spring Break.
Karen: Thinking of you.
Walked this afternoon. Last month I added another drug to my afib medications bc ventricular tachycardia was detected when I wore the heart monitor. I don't like the side effects I'm experiencing and plan to call to see if it can be lowered. Stupid afib. Stupid cancer. Thanks for listening!

Darn, wonderland! Definitely call the doctor & keep on them. You shouldn't have to put up with creepy side effects!

A snowy day here. I will go to Zumba & Yoga tonight.

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women picture. The other gal in the boa and I had birthdays this week!

Ruth: looks like you have some new members in the WWW. Great picture!
The doctor's nurse returned my call that I made explaining about the new medicine's side effects on me. She sounded pretty confident that the doctor will lower my dose and I should hear back from her soon.
Dh and I were in charge of the Red Cross blood drive at our church today. The Red Cross sets the schedule and this time there were 22 appointments available. Only 13 had pre-registered and we had 1 walk-in. In the last 2 weeks there had been a lot of blood drives in the area and I think that contributed to the low response. Also, blood donations in general are down. But they are happy with every unit they can get.

Hopefully you will here back from the nurse before the weekend, Wonderland.
I am up bright and early, sitting here waiting to be called in for a mammogram, DEXA scan, followed by a doctor appointment (pre-op for my upcoming colonoscopy). The fun never ends.....ha! I plan on Dance2fit & Yoga tonight.
Karen, I hope your week is going okay.

Ruth: Hope all went well this morning.
Karen: How has your week been?
I stopped that medication yesterday and feeling better today. Walked this afternoon and it felt great - not out of breath like I had been.

Work was good - I like the school I am covering till spring break, the staff is great and I know a few from another school years ago. One of the paras is my neighbor who sees DH and I walking. But, I'm exhausted when I get home. The other night I fell asleep before 9 on the sofa.
Sunday, I need to spend the day getting ready for PD I'm co-facilitating on Tuesday. I've done it a few times before but I'm rusty.
I did the sleep study Tuesday and Wednesday night - need to send the device back today. The device was connect to my phone by bluetooth and an app. I can't see any data - but evidently a report will get sent to my pcp. I would really like to get a copy of the data.
Cold, damp and wet snow today - probably won't get much.
Need to eat breakfast and get busy with errands etc. Have a great Friday.

Glad you like your school, Karen, and I would be surprised if you weren't tired out at the end of the day! It will be interesting to see what the sleep study says.
Glad you are feeling better, Wonderland!
A friend took me out for a belated birthday lunch today, and I am invited over to another friend's house tonight to celebrate HER birthday. I'm not going to fit into my pants by the time all of the celebrating is done! I just got back from a long walk with DH & Bruno. It is cool but sunny here.
*my tests went fine but I won't get results for about a week.

Spring break here in VA…by Wed-Friday we are looking at temps in the low 70's!
Will be able to get to the gym 6 days this week…that should help with my "spring forward"! TT

Enjoy your break, TT!
Beautiful & 60 here. I took a walk with Bruno & DH. I will go to Pound tonight. Last year at this time we had 4 feet of snow. Crazy!

TT: Happy Spring Break!
Karen: My dh needs to have another sleep study and I told him about your home one. He wants to discuss it with his pcp. I'm sure you're curious about your results.
Ruth: Great picture. It's 60 degrees here also. Will get close to 80 on Thursday.
On Saturday I went with a friend of mine to see the musical "Six" about King Henry's 6 wives. It was crazy fun!
Yesterday I walked and even did an hour of chair yoga. It was at my church so I guess it should be called pew yoga lol. It was all sitting or standing, nothing on the floor (thank goodness). Really felt good afterwards.
Walked today.

Walked with the dog again & will go to Zumba and Yoga.

The weather forecasters have been talking snow for later this week for a few days. On the 6pm news, the weather forecaster said 9 - 18" Wednesday night through Friday morning with business and school closures. It will start as rain. I'm hoping that it will be enough snow for a Thursday closure - it will mess things up as my monthly team meeting is that day as is our book study for our growth objectives and I have an IEP meeting - all will need to be rescheduled. Next week is the last week before spring break so not much time to reschedule. I'll be disappointed if there is school on Thursday then not on Friday as then I miss a snow day! I know earlier in the year we have a "cold" day, but it might have been when I was on leave - or maybe just before.
The training went well today. I've co-facilitated this training in person at least 3 times and virtual twice but I was nervous till last night. I watch a couple videos of the training by the two authors and was like, wow! I remember this!!! Also, the co-worker I presented with, we make a good team.
Still waiting on the sleep study results. I need to call and ask how long it takes as I never asked. They should have gotten the device in the mail yesterday with the consent and other paperwork. Last night I got into bed at 10:30 and woke up 3 times before 5:00am. I wake up tired and by mid afternoon, I exhausted. Then after dinner I sit down and start to fall asleep so I asked DH if we could walk right after dinner instead of waiting half hour or so.
Going to go read or color so I'm not on the computer till bed time.
