The Ghoulies Are Running a Half Marathon in January!!! (Page 8)

Planned on doing yoga tonight, but I got a migraine at the end of my day at work so no workout tonight...If I feel better later I might try to stretch a little.

X2.  Dangerous ground here, following Dr. R but did he discuss any medical treatment for the arthritis?  I'm assuming it's osteo not rheumatoid.  Celebrex, while having very real risks, would be worth discussing....if you really want to keep running as part of your life.  Biking seems to be your passion, so maybe dropping running is ok.  Hate to see you give up running without exploring all options.  All that said, I would far rather retire the running shoes than the bike!

Good morning Ghoulies!!!

I had a horrible night last night. I was up almost all night coughing, nothing would stop it. I hurt my hip coughing, I'm not even sure how you do that.

I have a headache right now so I'll read through all the posts from yesterday a little bit later.

Have a great day everyone!

no worries, BILL i'll bring up to speed.

but first off, total suckage about the arthritis, but sounds like your gonna find a way through....which shows your hutzpah. 


as for me...

due to the seperation, i thought it 'wise' to get  a part time job.  im staying in the house w the kids, and my husband is gonna continue to cover the bulk of the expenses, but still....it will be nice to have an income of my own/money thats mine to manage.

in the course of looking for a job, a couple opportunities have presented themselves.

1) the life/wellness coach gig....i'm meeting w a woman who is a wholistic lifestyle coach, first cuz i think she'll be good at helping me navigate the tricky terrain of the next months, but 2) to talk to her about possibly mentoring me in to do what she does (after reading about what she does, it really sounds like its a perfect fit for me)

2)  before Christmas i had talked to the Exec Dir at the Y he's a good friend so i told him about what was going on, on the homefront and to ask if there were any positions opening.  he told me then that there would be two part time positions that would be opening, he couldnt promise me, but he said he would put in a good word for me.

well he must have.....it was the job at the Y that i got the offer for yesturday.  ill be working at the Membership Service Desk, answering questions, processing memberships, doing tours of the facility et al.

3)  my husband came home from my sons Psych Eval and said that Gs therapist said that they're hiring at the Counseling Center where he went for his appt. and that i should give her a call.  [ironic it was my husband that scored this for me, huh?]

4) then theres the gig w my friend Joseph and setting up venues/dates for his tour come end of Feb/beginning of March.


sooo.

lots of stuff happening, all at once, which is a little crazy, but good.

thanks for asking.

Good job on working it all through and coming up with possibilities! However, I do hope you were discussing the options quietly to yourself while riding!

Hope the antibiotics kick in today. Feel better!

Sorry to hear about the arthritis Bill.  Sounds like you have a good plan fro approaching this thing.  Best of luck to you!

X2!  Great news!!

Morning Ghoulies.
Gotta hit the road today for a staff meeting. I hope it is just the same old boring meeting...
Later.

Sorry to hear that Ann.  Hope the antibiotics work for you.

I once pulled a calf muscle while yawning so I can totally see someone hurting their hip while coughing.  Glad to see I'm not the only special one

Good morning Ghoulies!

Did anyone else enjoy the orange bowl as much as I did last night?

Morning everyone.  I put in  a very boring 5 miles on the tready before work. Yawn.

Dang, hope you are at home in bed and not at work.  Sorry about the hip.  I threatened to log my coughing jags over the holidays as ab work. 

Get well!!!!

HARDCORE INDEED!!

Have you thawed out yet?

Really sorry to hear this Bill.

I hope your nutrijoint test helps you out.
