but he didn't want a repeat of that today. I think he learned his lesson, that one happened at night and I was too far away and too many bridges to go get him and the now ex wouldn't go get him who was closer, so his friends father who was down the street when and got him. He was there a couple hours in the cold and ice before he was rescued.
It is cold here in the Dallas area....glad I don't have the negative temps. This is cold enough.
Please keep my parents in your prayers, dad had a biopsy on his prostrate this week and they told him it would be about 10 days before we heard anything, they have already scheduled him a follow up on Tuesday which is 7 days after the biopsy. Mom is getting a steroid injection in her lower back on Wednesday. My week will be crazy with those. Don't know how much sewing I will get done.
Cindy, my dad who is now 82 had prostate cancer a few years ago. He took treatments and is now cancer free. I know it's nerve wracking to wait on test results! I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
I decided to go weigh today...I was up. I know I haven't been drinking my water because I'm so cold and I haven't been eating right. I did eat my plan yesterday and the day before and my counselor said that was a good start. Here lately I just want to eat! Anything and everything. I think I've gotten back on track the last couple of days. My diet counselor gave me a good pep talk and encouraged me. She said..."at least you came back in and didn't give up"! That's true! I can do this! I just need to talk to myself and encourage myself and not be so negative when those little thoughts come into my head that tell me I'm a failure.
I am getting closer to finishing quilting a quilt for my cousin's daughter. Yes, it's the same one I've been working on forever. haha I'll be so glad when it's finished! I won't let myself work on anything else till it's done because I feel guilty when I look at it. Dumb I know. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great weekend and stays warm if you're in a cold area like we are. I'm in Arkansas, but it feels like the North Pole! That wind today was terrible. Hugs to everyone...we are winners!!!
