I woke up without any pain yay. I got a whole nights sleep yay. And guess what for the first time since thanks giving I am walking. Yep no wheel chair no walker, just a cane for balance. It's going to be a good day. :hug: I thank the world of all my lounge friends. Thank you for getting me thru the bad times. Danny :D :loveya:

7. glad to hear about your good day!!
Reasons why I am cheerful today:

The public radio station where I work had one of its most successful spring on-air fund drives ever, and my show raised more than it ever has before (thanks in part to some generous DU web listeners!)

My dad was able to find work after a year of unemployment...and his new job brought them back to Michigan! No more 9 hour drives to visit them. :D

I had some significant success at my regular weekday job this week.

The weather is getting warmer and we've been walking 3+ miles every day - it feels great!

13. And here I thought it was your stellar co-pitchers...
Congrats to DanCa! Having a balance disorder myself, I love it when I can walk long distances with little or no assistance. :bounce:

My good news: pledge drive exceeded its goal by over $8,000! And the new shows I pushed for all exceeded expectations and goals. Yay.

And yay to progmom's dad's new job and move and to her weekday job success which, I'm sure, she'll fill me in on soon....

8. Right on, Dan!
My news isn't nearly so good as yours. I just made headway on six paintings that have to be delivered Thursday. Oddly enough, the title of the series is, "Balance." :hug: Good to see you, my friend, and I'm glad you're having a good day. :loveya:

15. No fancy diets or anything
I eat the same foods I always have, just a little less. I drink water before meals so I don't feel as hungry.

And I now burn more calories than I take in.

And I'm glad to hear you're pain free!!

Yeah. I'm happy.

18. I'm getting a new semi at my job today
I had to give my old one up because the company wanted to sell the truck to an owner/operator. The tractor I'm getting is newer than my other one and has fewer miles. It will probably be in better shape.

I think that the worst part of the deal is moving all my stuff into the truck. That's kind of a pain. But I'm not going to complain too much.

20. My good news?
I saw my Dr. a few days ago, and he was THRILLED at my weight and blood pressure!

He told me to keep doing what I'm doing.....

I haven't felt this good in a long time.......even though I'm not all the way where I want to be, I'm getting there!

And I'm so happy for you!

A good night's sleep and being pain-free are something big to be happy about!

:woohoo: :woohoo:

That's wonderful!

It's a beautiful day here. And I re-scheduled a dinner that I wanted to have with someone.
