Good morning....well, it's morning, anyway.
I've been up for an hour and a half...still waiting for meds and heat to do something for me. I must have taken the placebo. It's a whopping 2 degrees and probably hasn't even hit the 'low', yet.
I should be starting a woodfire, but all that reaching and lifting kills my shoulder and I hate to make it worse than it already is. I have to work enough in the salon, today.
I've had a rough week with pain and depression. It's gotta get better...right?
Hugs...

Me , I'm doing fine. The kids all left yesterday. It's so quiet ! I love having them all home but boy, those to one year boys . They are night and day difference . One is so sweet like and good and the other one an tear up so fast and I mean he is like grease lightning ! My house was is a mess . I did get everything put back yesterday, mopped and vacuum but it so dirty still.
I'm going to Barnes to getting my stitches out today and hopefully I will understand more after I talk with the doctor. .........I hope everyone wakes to a better and less painful day. Hugs and prayers
Before we know it, it will be the new year and have to learn writing 2012 it usually takes me a couple of months to get it right.
I got to get down these xmas decorations down I wanted to do it yesterday but my doctors appt which was at 12:30pm but she did not get into the room till almost 2pm as she said she had some patients with alot of questions. It was a good thing I had my kindle with me and I had something to read or I would of being going nuts.
Sometimes days seems like it is one repeat after another and it almost seems like I am wasting time away. It is weird when you dont work how days do not seem to have a purpose and you have to make that purpose. After working 20 years for the same company it is still hard after 4 years to get used to making the most of my days by myself.
I agree Manny, it's been over two years since I worked and I still haven't gotten used to it. Some days seem like a total waste to me.
Once again I didn't sleep but a couple of hours and now I'm exausted. Joy just left and I can hear the boys comming to life. I didn't have any help yesterday so it was busy. Today the boys each have someone comming to work with them so I'll be able to relax a little.
I heard the wind pick up around midnight last night. It's windy and cool outside but it didn't freeze last night for a change. I think they're predicting 50s today. Maybe I can motivate myself later. Yesterday I was done before I started and didn't do anything. Then I was frustrated with myself all night for not getting anything done.
I don't feel as sick this morning so maybe it was just a small bug and won't get any worse. I can hope anyway.
One more Christmas get together on the 1st. Then we're done.
Gotta go for now, I hope everyone is doing OK and recovering,
Mike
Susie...I am coming to your house so you don't get lonely after all that company has left. How are you doing my friend? How is your mouth? I hope that you are getting better my friend. Me and my little Sucky are sending you lots of healing prayers.
Manny...Everytime I drive/go past my old home office, I cry. I miss my job so much. I miss making money and guiding people and being "important" in my day. I was in management and, I worked over my whole county...I loved my boss, I loved my job, I loved that I was pretty good at it. Now...the only thing I am good at is making sure my farm on farmville is pretty and my crops are harvested on time. LOL
Mike, Sorry you don't feel well my friend. I am sure that if you eat some cold fish head soup-you will feel better! Wash it down wih some cold coffee...it is an ancient chinese remedy. I hope you get some rest today.
ME>>>I have to go to the grocery store today and get some bills paid. I also have to clean the house and do other stuff. I hope you all have a decent day my friends. HUGS!!
Cherry, it is hard to hear that you still hurt so bad and aren't getting relief.
Hugs my dear friend.
I am ok but do notice the typing is kicking it up so I will go easy and it makes me mad as I love talking to you all.
I am here and doing some better. From the surgery view, I am doing very well, have lost thirty pounds total; ten since surgery and will see MD on the tenth for a "fill". This is where they put saline in the band to inflate it and cause more restriction when you eat.
Bob has been very sick with the strain of flu not ocvered by the vaccine all week. His manager sent him home Wed morning and he slept close to fifteen hours Not straight thru but only up twice.
Still have this funky headache but trying to drink much more water starting yesterday. 60-80 ounces a day. That is really the norm for everybody, regardless of the surgery.
Went out to my girlfriends around noon yesterday and had coffee. We are going painting with a group of our buddies this evening and will have dinner, too. Just a casual place.
Like most of you have said this morning. I really miss working, too. I enjoyed my patients and enjoyed helping them very much. I have not worked since Marchc of 2000.
Everybody take care and have a very safe New Year's weekend.
Have a great day. I will try to write more this weekend. I have written several this week but they are too long. You all and other posters are in my thoughts and prayers daily. I couldn't make it without you all. You are the homebase of my support.. I mean that.
Big hugs and much love,
Melinda
We are trying to get motivated to take down our Christmas decorations today. Tomorrow is our big New Years Eve Party. We are looking at about 30 people this year. We are doing the main dish (taco bar this year....tried to go simple) and everyone else brings something. Should be fun!!! But exhausting.
Have a good day everyone. I am getting the evil eye from hubby so that means I have to go!!
Autumn
I haven't worked in 11 years! This sucks! I miss the people and the every day challenges that a job provides. Miss the money too!
I was going to have my granddaughter over for new years eve and just found out that my daughter and crew are going to her half sisters for the weekend! Dang it! I'm happy for them though, its' been awhile since they all saw each other.
A jolly good day to you all,
Toni
What all do you have to do? Is it a mess or the decorations to take down?
I didn't decorate but have a mess due to moving but hopefully I can leave some of the stuff here and not take all the stuff with me.
And hugs for missing your job and money.... ((((((( )))))))
Getting ready for the weekend. I think I'll be taking down the outside lights tomorrow.
I hope you're all having a good day! !
Big Hugs,
David.
Sending hugs, love, and comfort.
