Good Morning,
My first session of O! is done. I'm feeling a little sleepy this morning but need to get busy soon. Starting today's thread for me this morning is 'productive procrastination'.

We had about 3" inches of snow overnight. I was thinking about going to a forest preserve to take pictures but it is so dreary outside I decided not to. I'll probably have another chance or two before spring

Ok, time to immerse myself in pictures & copying. I should have that project done this morning and get my mess cleaned up. Then I can start boxing albums up for my brother.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Have been really down in the dumps lately, not sure what that is all about. Maybe my DD moving out is finally hitting me. Was feeling so tired last night, but made myself O! Felt so good afterward. Need to make sure to make time for that.
Well, better get back to work.
Becky

Hey y'all! I have not gotten my O! done yet today... I've been out running errands, etc. and wanted to wait and do it at home (hopefully with more gusto than I manage in the car).

Thanks for the info on Hanukkah, Sandy. I was pretty sure it was 7 or 8 days. Any time I say the word "Hanukkah" I think of the song I learned in music class in elementary school and it starts going through my head. "O Hanukkah, O Hanukkah, come light the Mennorah..." (I'm singing it now as I type this!) Unfortunately, that's as much as I remember of the lyrics!

Susanna, my first thought was sinus pressure or congestion in your head. But, after reading what 2B wrote, it could be some sort of vertigo like my dh suffered from several times. The first time, he couldn't sit up at all without getting nauseated. The second time, he couldn't do anything BUT sit up perfectly straight without getting sick. Anyway...he has pills for it now that he can take if he feels it coming on.

2B, your photo project sounds great! I've heard that doing things like that for Alzheimer's patients, etc. really is quite beneficial. Quite a job, though!

Becky, take care of yourself. It's easy to get depressed this time of the year as it is, and I'm sure you do miss having your DD there. Any major changes can be stressful.

okay.... I guess I need to get back to doing something productive. I WILL get my O! done before I head back out for bellchoir later.

KOB & DYW!!

Hello O-buddies!

I did my O with the chi machine this afternoon. I skipped it yesterday, because I really didn't feel very good. I really think I had a quick bug that caused the dizziness, because I was very nauseated and achey for awhile, then after supper I felt better. So far it hasn't returned. Thanks for your input though. If it returns I may check with someone.

Becky, it's always hard for me to have a child move out! I hope you can feel better soon!

2B, how many O workouts are you doing per day? We had just a little skiff of snow early this morning. It was so beautiful to watch it come down...except it was 3:00, and DH was getting ready for work...and my bed was calling me! By the time I went back, I was too cold to sleep. Poor me! I did eventually drift off again tho. I think your picture project sounds very nice! You are so thoughtful! Thanks for your wishes for our son.

Wow, Sandy! You are a long ways from home!!! I grew up in Scottsbluff, NE. A trip to WY was always fun, and happened pretty frequently.

Kelly, did you get your O done?

Where's everyone else? Do we need to name names again?

Susanna

Yes, we are a long way from home. It is hard to get back to visit and hard for the family to come our way. Visits are few and far between. We love to get back to Cheyenne someday but not into DH's hometown. We've been gone too long to be super close.

Just finished my O! Water was nonexistent today. Hoping to change that tomorrow.

Evening everyone!

I'm still working at least 10 hours per day, so I don't always post but I do O. Please don't send out the O police unless they can do medical transcription.

2B, good job on the O. I think we got the same 3 inches of snow overnight. They are predicting more tonight. Right now the temp is 17.

Becky, sorry to hear you are down in the dumps. Maybe it's all the stress with the holiday season. Hope you are feeling better soon.

Kelly, good job on keeping up with O with all your errands.

Susanna, glad you are feeling a little bit better.

Sandy, good job on the O.

I'm going to do L1 this evening.

I get the daily digest, so I have been reading everyone's posts. I think it was yesterday that Lin suggested everyone list the areas they were measuring. I do measure the four sites that Jill suggests--bust, waist, hips, and one thigh.

Have a great evening.
