Good Morning to all!
Went to the wedding reception yesterday at a Blues Club in Knoxville. The groom is a musician and a few of his buddies were there to jam. It was great! But I am tired today. Came home by 10 but those 2 cokes I had kept me up. Never drink sodas at all anymore. Of course there was an open bar that many people took advantage of. But I had to give up the sauce due to ulcers.
Hope I make it through the day!
Have a good one!

I'm fine, some weird things going on with my stomach and I have to say the da*n Quensyl really gives me gas!!! It is horrid! Pain seems to be easing off somewhat. Just getting prepared the best I can for my son's surgery tomorrow. He is already sooooo bored as we have had to keep him in the last few days away from other kids etc for risk of infection.. poor bugger!
Hugs, health, happiness & smiles to you all!

Not much to report here. I slept badly last night as well, MT... in bed before 10 and then up at 4 AM or so, then back to bed again around 6:30. Glad you enjoyed the reception and heard some blues...
Melissa, sorry you are having stomach problems... good luck with your son's surgery, get plenty of rest and beware the boredom, my experience is it can be contagious in families.
More another day. Haven't been myself recently. Fall used to be my favorite time of year... maybe it's the economy, worry about my mom, who knows. Cognitively I felt oddly better this on Friday and Saturday... I was able to remember lots of little things, sense of direction was very good. My mood has really been off, though... not like depression, just not enjoying things that I used to. I've been posting a little less until I feel a bit more inspired or inspiring...
Best,

MT - Glad the wedding and music was fun! Hope you had a chance to rest today.
Melissa -- glad to hear the pain is easing off a bit. Good luck with your son's surgery tomorrow. How long is the recovery time? Hopefully boredom won't be for too long.
Cat - take care of yourself....I hope the mood lifts quickly..... Until then, take the time and care that you need...
I'm off for school pick-up......have a good night, everyone....
