Good Morning Everyone!
A little late checking in this morning, as it's just that kind of morning where I can take my time and not be in a hurry for anything...it's a nice feeling. I miss logging in and see D's morning post, but since I really like reading everyone that comments, too, I hope we can continue together while our Darling D is away. It will be nice to hear her update tomorrow or the next day :) . D, if you are reading this, hurry back; we miss you!!
My son and his friends are still all okay. Thank you all for your kind remarks and support. We called our insurance company to report the accident, and now we wait for the adjuster. We are hoping that he at least breaks even with what is owed, and we think that he will.
Not much going on today. Son #2 and his wife are looking to buy their first home and found one that they love and is actually in their price range. It's a 102 y.o. old school house that has since been updated, but still has lots of the original character and charm. I fell in love with the home, too, so we'll see what happens.
So what is going on in your world today?
I hope everyone has a fantastic, pain-fee as possible, day! Hugs!

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Now to snuggle my DH for a while, heh-heh-heh.
Hope all of you are enjoying a relaxing Sunday! Big hug!
Just woke up from a much needed nap and sitting here waiting for the pain pills to kick in so I can do something. I truly am not looking forward to this bottle running out. Once it's gone my primary will not refill. I don't know what I'm going to do about the pain.
Off work tomorrow because a teacher work day at school so at least one more day I get to sleep in...looking forward to it. Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their day!

I almost made morning! We were going thru toys to donate and the kids got nostalgic and now there is a train set in the living room! I guess we are keeping the trains a while longer!
Suns - I'm so happy that your son and his friends are doing ok - how exciting to hear about the house - I love old school houses!
Leo - I'll celebrate a headache free day any day!!! Hooray!
Cavchick - Enjoy your sewing day:)
Happy Sunday and take care!
Hope to get the beds made in the spare bedrooms, and 'maybe' make a meal this evening....lol.
Well, I'm really late today. LOL I went out to church this morning and then over to my aunt and uncle's place for a family brunch. This was my Mommy's last day here visiting. :( She heads back to Brampton in the morning. I'm very sad to see her leaving but ........ my body will appreciate it. I can't even keep up with a 75 yr old lady anymore. LOL Then again she made it to 75 before developing arthritis where as I was only 12 when it started.
I didn't check in yesterday as it was just a REALLY BAD day. I had one of those stupid back spasms that goes from just under my butt all the way up and over my head. Plus I had to make dinner for my mom and friends that wanted to see her before she left. Now, it will be time to rest and recover.
Sun, I'm really glad to hear that your son and his friends are OK. That's wonderful news considering what they went through.
Leo, I'm glad your headache is gone.
Cavchick, have fun with the movies.
Jamie, I'm glad you get an extra day off .... enjoy!
Lovesleep, do you get to be the conductor? lol
Loveabounds, I'm sorry the weather is kicking your butt. Stay warm!
I'm going to stay in and stay warm now too. It's going down to -30 here tonight. BRrrrrrr ................ I'm thinking a nice warm bath with an easy read book.
D, we MISS you.
Hugs, Susan
Leo - Congrats on getting all that paper work done and behind you! I know that's got to be a good feeling! And I am rejoicing with you that the headache is gone :)
Cavchick - Sounds like a perfect way to spend the day! I've always wished I was able to sew...my mom and my sister can, but it seemed to skip me :-/
Jamie - That's nice that your husband was preaching and that you could be there for that. I think it's terrible that your doctor will not refill your pain medicine! I don't get why they don't get it. If only our pain would be gone after a precription ran out!! How nice that you're off tomorrow!! Enjoy sleeping in :)
Loves - getting the trains out sound like fun! I'll bet the kids are having fun, and maybe you too :)
Lovea - Ugh...I get the same feeling when a storm is on its way. I hope you feel better and got a "2nd wind" to get done the things you wanted to. And if not, there's always tomorrow, right! :)
Car- my goodness, girlfriend!! You have certainly earned a day, (no, make that a week) of R&R time! I'm so glad you enjoyed your mom's visit and were able to do the things you could. I hope you feel better from that spasm, can stay warm, and rest up!
Have a good night everyone ~ Hugs!
Sun~~Glad your Son is still ok I'm so happy to hear that. I'm sure you are still thanking God him being safe and sound.
Leo~~Glad your headache is gone. I have had those before and I can tell you I know how good it feels when they are gone!
Jamie~~ Sorry you are going through so much pain and you won't be getting any more pain relievers. That's so wrong. I pray you find some other kind of relief soon.
Cavchick~~I wish I could sew. But I do crochet :-)
Lovesleep~~Sorry about the train set in your living room ugh on that one. LOL
loveabounds~~your storm is coming my way and I'm going to be the one feeling the effects here in a couple of days. ugh again!
carwrite~~what can I say but I know exactly how you feel. My Mom is 73 and I can't keep up with her. She climbs mountains for crying out loud and goes for these miles of long walking, and then calls me and tells me about it. OK, they are low mountain type hills. But anyway, I don't want to hear it. Sorry Mom, but it's hard to hear about you climbing around like that when I can barely walk. I am so happy she can do that. But I just don't want to know how badly I am compared to my own Mother as far as my health is concerned. I mean I do know that I'm worse than she is health wise. I'm not dense or anything like that. But I don't want it to be shoved into my face like that all the time. Does that make any sense to anyone? It's like a rich person waving money in front of a poor person. I'm so glad she has good health. I'm thrilled that she does. But it bothers me that she has to tell me about these long walks she takes, and mountain climbing that she does. Especially when she knows that I can't even go through Wal~mart without using one of those motorized carts! I have tried telling her in little nice ways, that it bothers me when she tells me of her adventures. But she just keeps talking away at me, like I never said a word. So I guess I'm going to have to make out my grocery shopping list in my mind, while we are talking about things like that on the phone. The thing of it is, is we have plenty of other things to talk about. Why must she tell me about her physical adventures. Ok, done venting on that one. My husband heard it earlier. LOL
I hope you all have a fantastic Sunday night! And aside from my rant. I do wish blessings for you all and big hugs to everyone. Oh and hi to D!
Cathy :-)
